  • Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs

    Jump

  • Well, first I’m not “that lot”, been using Windows since 1997 and will continue to do so because my line of work.

    But, I think you can see what’s going on with Android over Google, where there’s not so much “versions” around.

  • WINDOWS USERS: Installling Bazzite (Gaming focused Linux Distro) is very, very easy. All you need is a some disk space, and a 16gb USB stick. You won’t lose any of your Windows data - even you don’t need to re-download any Steam game! Your Windows library will plug-in easily into Linux Steam.

    Follow this guide and you’ll be grand: https://youtu.be/JxPsKhJGTrs

    Yesterday I’ve installed Bazzite (as a dual boot) for the first time. As a long time Windows user, Steam Deck convinced me lots of previous problems are solved now.

    It’s the first ever I’ve installed a Linux Desktop distro willingly. And so far it’s working very, very smoothly even with my complex set of hardware.

  • Cirrus app dev informing the app will stop working on certified android devices in '26/'27

    Jump

  • Wording of the message implies it’s possible to have uncertified version of Android… Such a thing possible?

  • Retail spending is starting to look more and more like the labor market (only the wealthy are spending)

  • 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst

    Jump

  • I don’t know what to feel about “AI is gonna burst” is the new clickbait title for… like a few months now.

  • A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they have real life plot armour

    Jump

  • So, it may seem like tragedies happen just to other people.

    Of course you are the protagonist of your life, but the chances are, you’re still “other people” to other people.

  • What size of a PC game you are comfortable with?

    Jump

  • This is true. Almost all time it’s the textures and the sound files. Even more, time to time devs choose not to compress them as decompression could be a performance bottleneck. Deep Rock Galactic is good example for that, the game is 4 gb because there’s no textures in it except UI brushes. All 3D models of the game uses very clever Vertex Coloring techniques instead.

    You might be right with it could be optional, but I’m guessing it will be a deployment hell since Steam’s (only platform that matters) underlying mechanisms doesn’t directly support it, and when it’s done with workarounds it becomes a convoluted process for end users - especially when you consider most users will download the full pack anyway.

  • So how did your experience is going with lenses? Do they help you with self-diagnosing so far?

  • How Do I Validate My Game Idea? (Please Help)

    Jump

  • Well…

    One thing is you can’t know if a ‘game idea’ is a good one before battle test it.

    On one hand it’s similar to writing a book or shooting a movie. Sometimes most mundane narratives have something that ‘clicks’, making it a hit. And sometimes most interesting ones have bad execution, to become instant failures.

    On the other hand, of course there are some understanding about ‘what is entertaining’ and ‘how to make things fun’. There are lots of discovered rules, tropes, approaches that worked so far. Like, Game of Thrones books always meant to be a cash cow TV series, and you see traces of almost all the rules that makes a book a good TV material. So there are many sources about narrative and game design that can guide you through your journey.

    Of course the concepts discussed in these sources aren’t definitive and open to interpretation. But they helped me dearly exploring ideas and hand down better experiences.

    Some I can recommend are,

    • Art of Game Design (Jesse Schell): It comes with a deck of cards which is very valuable for self-feedbacking.

    • The Game Narrative Toolbox

    • How Games Move Us

    With games, it’s ‘vertical slice’s, like preparing a 10 minute condensed version of a game. You can gather lots of feedback with that. Every game had that at one point. Balatro had that, GTA 6 had that, as well as “What Remains of Edith Finch” had that. If you can pique interest with a vertical slice, it’s mostly good idea to pursue the rest from that point.

  • Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened

    Jump

  • Excellent?.. Well, your experience might be different but even though I clocked way more hours at BL3, I don’t remember an inch about it. I remember lots of details and fun moments about BL1 and BL2 though.

  • It doesn’t have Hot Seat either. I instantly refunded when I realized that. How the hell a Civ game have multiplayer but not hot seat?

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 30 minutes and counting now

    Jump

  • The peak of my career also was definitely when we crashed Steam for a few hours during our EA launch - even though the Steam devs were prepared.

    I’m also really happy that Silksong is getting so much love from players. The team behind it truly seems to deserve it.

  • It is mean

  • My parents were very excited about a fresh business opportunity by a certain Nigerian Prince. So I’m a shit person for not letting them enjoy it, sure.

  • Leave it to a Bezos-owned company to confuse customers and mislead them for profit.

  • Well, sorry to say this doesn’t seem scummy other than it expects you to have basic literacy. But if you have basic literacy, why would you read that trash anyway.

  • Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed

  • Fork Android?

    For years Android people were yapping about how it’s open source, open platform and the competitors are not. So why not just fork it and keep on? Isn’t that the strongest point of being open source?
