This is not true, development has stalled the past few years because Riot demanded they port it to a new engine, which was why it got indefinitely delayed and eventually cancelled

Things were moving well before that. The original developers took back control of the project and are back on track

Correction, don’t buy a cheap gaming laptop. There are plenty of ones like the lenovo legion and rog strix g16 that have good build quality and will last you years.

The ones with crappy plastic and overheat regularly are usually the ones under $1000

I think the mass market would still rather buy a console, so I assume most people interested in the steam machine specifically want a PC box. Now that I looked at the specs it doesn’t seem that powerful, and I doubt it will be cheaper than a PS5.

people can still just buy a $500 mini PC and install Linux on it

These sound absolutely amazing but it all depends on the price.

if the Steam controller is on par with a new 8bitdo then I would definitely pick it up.

The steam machine sounds intriguing but there is already a big market for mini PCs and I don’t know if consumers would go out of their way to buy a steam PC box. I’m most skeptical about this one

Steam Frame looks fantastic but I really hope it’s cheap enough to compete with the Meta Quest 3 and isn’t just another ~$1000 headset for enthusiasts

I also played it for a few hours on release, it lacked any sort of content and i never got over how they sold armor colors. The most basic form of customization, not skins, but a different color of your armor were bring sold just so you can look slightly different from everybody else in the server. A complete mess.

Is it worth playing the new update for new content or should I wait a bit longer? idk if there’s enough new content to tell friends to get on.

Why would anyone be excited for a series that now peaked 21 years ago, and has only had 1 other release in that time?

I understand why youre not interested and I also don’t care for it, but it’s disingenuous to say it isn’t one of the most hyped games of all time. The first trailer has 268 million views on youtube and that’s only on the official channel. People are excited.

as a ps3 exclusive that wasn’t even close in popularity but yes most of ds1 was copied from demon’s souls

The broom closet ending, specifically. The broom closet ending is my favorite

I doubt microsoft even knows what luanti is

from what I understand mod loaders will need to remove the part where they deobfuscate code then translate mods. this update will break modloaders for a while but in the end it should simplify the process and make modding easier.

it’s so weird to me that it sounds like they might shut down servers later. From what I heard, the new expansion was surprisingly well received. The past few days it peaked at greater than 40K concurrent players each day. surely the servers can pay for itself?

Japan’s attitude to e-sports is so bizarre. between this, Nintendo constantly shutting down fan tournaments, and other companies acting like e-sports don’t exist until it becomes big enough not to capitalize on…

How the fuck do they think it’s going to work if they keep gatekeeping the few people interested in esports?

they had many people working in video games? Last I heard they were 99% outsourced contractors maintaining games like new world

Im sympathizing with both sides of the conversation. Grand strategy games are so complex and can be supported for 10+ years so it makes sense that they regularly make DLCs to support development.

But they’re not totally optional/unnecessary. The problem is that many games are balanced around the new DLCs that sometimes you’re at a disadvantage if you dont buy them. I remember some drama around crusader kings where some mechanics don’t make sense unless you buy some DLCs

Things like compiling shaders, etc, shouldn’t be an issue on the new Xbox, for example.

From what I remember that’s exactly what MS is doing as well, xbox would let you download pre-compiled shaders for the ROG handheld. Though I don’t think you upload any of your own shaders since the xbox hardware is unified as opposed to steam having to support everybody on Linux
