Been using traditional methods to get my isos and store them locally, and on arrs/Plex for well over a decade.
Honestly the debris stuff never ever interested me, unless the data is in your control locally the rug pull is always on the horizon.
I do wish we could make it easier for non-technical folk, not everyone is wrong in the head like I am to be happy enough building and maintaining a NAS and the software stack required.
Yeah feeling this, I’m a little tired of one country projecting it issues on the entire world.
That sentence can be interpreted in a number of ways and all are correct sadly.
Yeah, yeah it really is
I will do a day one purchase despite being too busy with factorio expansion to actually start it just yet.
Ah yes, the game that made me get a Steam account, so looks like my steam account is days from it’s 20th anniversary.
God damn did I hate Valve for making me get steam back then, I was on dialup and getting Steam to launch was a utter nightmare, and I HAD to have it to play HL2? F you gaben!
Fast forward 20 years and I’m eagerly awaiting the AU launch of the steam deck and reminiscing of how good steam has been for me… EDIT: ACCT created 19th Nov 2004, Steam Deck AU release 29th Nov 2024, so I’m ordering on my accounts 20 year anni
Played the shit outta both as kid, can’t wait for a little nostalgia hit here
It’s brutal isn’t it? Our markups were ‘only’ 30-50%, but I hate supporting that garbage practice. Hope you get a release or pick it up in EU travels, I did have a mate get his on a trip home to Italy.
Really enjoyed it, only recently finished a run with expansion and some QOL mods. Excellent visuals (with RTX), and if your into the theme the story was fun and pretty good. Not perfect by any stretch but solid. Gameplay mechanics is fairly engaging after the 2.0 patch.
It is definitely sad it took so long to get to here though, it was broken on launch beyond bugs - the builds you could do pre 1.5 were plain broken.
That said, we should celebrate anyone making single player games these days seriously, it feels like they are getting very thin on the ground.
We had great Raygun costumes here in the land downunder
Smells like aneurysm posting
Thanks, I actually hadn’t fully realized I had to add wikis to the list of corporate run crap I need to avoid. Medium is way bad enough, let alone wikis too
Enjoy, it, Hyperion Cantos is far and away my all time favourite read (so far…)
I blocked ML instance pretty quickly on my account. Heavy handed but probably for the best
I’m guessing the patch is working its way through Google/Apple store review process. It’s likely they released PC first, mobile after.

Yeah that’s it
My body is ready. 1000+ hours wonders, heres to another 1000
Yeah I was trying to avoid importing one, I’ve been using steam link and a Razer kishi as a cheap replacement. Played one at PAX, I already can’t wait to buy a OLED when they launch here
The joke is we usually get outrageous markups on tech as we don’t have alternative avenues to source. We usually get gouged hard - I.e. the grey import steam decks have been often $300 more than what steam are launching at.
Bad news everyone! They’ve already shutdown the best emulators. One if the best ceased development yesterday after some Nintendo strong-arming.
So in ~1,000hrs?
