You needed a Steam account of a certain age and some activity in the past. Sure, people immediately tried to resell them at ridiculous prices, but look up how many were offered and bought on eBay. It’s a drop in the bucket. What they did fuck up was severely underestimating the demand. It shows that they usually deal with digital products.
Hell nah! I use the bi label specifically because of the colors! (And because more people immediately unterstand what it means)
Bethesda games always have bland dialogue and a bad storyline (Not counting New Vegas, perhaps). For me, they are about exploration, freedom of movement and world building and I liked Fallout 4 in that regard
You need hot water in Phoenix, don’t you?
The vast majority of users don’t care about these things, though
Is your point supposed to be “it would be a relatively small pile of radioactive waste”? There aren’t all that many nuclear power plants in the world because it never has been economically viable.
I’m not too familiar with the current controller market. 8bitdo has a good reputation, for example. But basically every controller out there works plug and play with Steam, even Nintendo ones.
I love Steam hardware, but yes, it’s close to unacceptable that it doesn’t default to like xinput or whatever.
If you don’t need trackpads or touch sensitive sticks, there are better options out there. If you do need those things and want input parity with Steam Deck, it’s going to be a great experience.
There will also certainly be community developed drivers in a few months so you can use it outside of Steam.
I haven’t actually tried Dolphin on Windows, not sure how usable it is
Gaming aside, it’s incredible how bad Windows Explorer performs compared to e.g. Dolphin. It’s performance got even worse with Windows 11, but at least it finally has tabs now
I use it for every first person game for example. It often requires some configuration effort to make it feel great. It’s a lot more precise and direct than sticks, especially when combined with gyro that activates on touch.
If you don’t want to spend time configuring control schemes and you don’t want trackpads or touch sensitive sticks, you’re much better off with a cheaper alternative.
It will never be officially usable outside of steam, but there will 100% be community developed drivers, at least for Linux. The original Steam Controller has had those for years
There is what used to be the “Mail App” that was introduced with Win10. That was renamed to Outlook. A new Outlook was then installed automatically that was called Outlook (new). At some point, Outlook was renamed "Outlook (classic) and Outlook (new) was renamed “Outlook”. On top of that there is the Outlook that is part of the MS Office suite, if you have that installed.
I’m not entirely sure how accurate my memory of this desaster is, though. I don’t use Windows on my personal machines, I noticed this on a friend’s computer I was fixing.
I believe there are three products called Outlook, actually
I’ll happily pay 100€ if I have to. It’ll only be one for that price, though
The German ID card has that functionality. Date of birth is saved on the chip card and you can identify yourself via NFC reader and the open source ID app. You can see what information is transmitted before sending it. In the case of age verification, it would only be “underage yes/no”. It’s not perfect but pretty good from a privacy standpoint.
I love Plasma. It’s fast, it’s stable, it’s beautiful, it’s real simple and I intuitive, it’s easily customizable via GUI, it’s packed with great features (that stay completely out of your way if you don’t need them). Even the KDE apps are awesome across the board.
It’s all down to preference, yadda yadda, but I honestly don’t understand why someone would use something like Cinnamon, XFCE or, god forbid, GN*ME instead of KDE Plasma.
That being said, just use what you wanna use.
How many modern 3d games are there that fit on a reasonable amount of disks? Don’t you usually have to download shit either way?
