There’s actually a single gaming CEO that hasn’t been born yet, bringing the average down.

Rude

Yup. I was the same way. I also wanted to see what the lounge was all about, until the first time I got gold and saw it was just a circle jerk about… Getting gold. Dunno what I expected.

I never got the hate over this. I agree that “pay this company $3 because some guy made a funny joke” doesn’t make a ton of sense, but the 2(?) times someone got me gold, I said thank you… just feels like acknowledging a compliment.

Played the game last year, survival with a few mods, namely a huge modern gun pack, a ghoul mod and some super mutant mods.

EVERYTHING was terrifying. Walking through a city, if a hostile NPC noticed me before me them, a single headshot from a long rifle would drop me with full health.

Individual accountability

but this time I don’t care

I mean, maybe he’s just happy on his own for now? It’s ok to have moments of doubt here and there (re: “staring at my PC” , “did it do it right”) but just because they broke up with their gf and went back to their self improvement routine doesn’t automatically mean self sabotage and all that.

Most likely. I’ve started a new job that takes a lot of my time, and I have other games on the docket, but shoot me a message with some info about the level (no spoilers please!) and I’ll do my best to shoot one back once I’ve completed it!

Second response about level design which is a HUGE deal for me (my most replayed game is Portal 2 with uh, over 50 replays 🥴), if it goes on sale while I’m playing the first one I’m definitely picking it up. Thanks!

Ooh man, I’m a butthurt for level design. Ok, I’m gonna start replaying the first one, and hopefully the second one goes on sale before I finish.

Thanks for the tip!

I didn’t recognize “Dishonored” as a game title at first and thought that his public image was damaged by something.

Shame to hear of such talent leaving us so early. I’ve been wanting to replay Dishonored, and play the 2nd for the first time; I might make the time now.

The way I’ve (sorta) gotten around this is to meticulously plan the day before the appointment, even if it’s bullshit like “play videogames from 11a-2p”. Hell, I usually don’t even stick to the plan, just use it to get me started on doing something until it’s time for whatever.

Steps for being the class clown:

1. Disassociate the moment the teacher starts talking

2. Randomly snap back to the present, absorb the last 6 words the teacher said

3. Loudly state the first thing that comes to mind

4. Disassociate again once kicked out of the classroom

When my Win10 desktop needs replacement in a year or 2, getting a Linux desktop.

What’s stopping you from installing Linux now? I don’t think you can just “get” a Linux desktop, though I’d be happy to be wrong.

I’m not sure where that assumption comes from, or again it’s relevance to the conversation, but I had a couple platforms growing up. Most of them were hand me downs. My earlier childhood was spent on a PlayStation 2, and my teen years were shared between the 360, Wii, and my shitty laptop.

I saw that after my first comment, I’m still not really sure how this is supposed to mean the death of Windows. Another mobile PC device running SteamOS isn’t going to disrupt Window’s position (though it is of course nice to see more handhelds on the market running the OS), and Valve saying they’ll soon release a user-installable beta is nowhere near what some are making it out to be. People are acting like they just released a stable Linux distro meant to replace your main OS; the news is exciting, but it’s not the death of Windows, at least not for a long while.

I feel like we’re having two different conversations.

The OP is acting like as soon as people “have the option” to switch to something else, they will, and Windows will be dead. SteamOS, however, has been a thing for a couple years now, and easily configurable Linux distributions for even longer, so saying that Windows is dead 30 minutes after release isn’t really wishful thinking, it just… Didn’t happen.

Your argument is that SteamOS has potential to upset the gaming OS market, which I’m not at all disagreeing with.

My comments had nothing to do with “what corpos use”, I’m talking about Steam’s user statistics. Over 90% of steam users are on Windows, and that’s with the incredibly popular Steam Deck taken into consideration.

Let it be clear that I’m not at all a Windows fanboy, I fucking hate the OS. I use it because I’m too lazy to set up Linux, and a few games I play are known to not work. Something SteamOS can change, but not something it already has.

I’m not really sure why it’s relevant to this conversation? But mainly game, homework, and 3d modeling stuff.

Does steam deck not run Steam OS…? What the Deck was meant to do is irrelevant, the OS it comes with and the OS mentioned in the OP in no way shut Windows down
