Will the switch 2 outperform the steam deck? Because if not, games will continue to be made to run on lower hardware.

What you describe is often referred as a “generational leap”.

Welcome to the wonderful world of phrasal verbs, idioms, and collocations.

(Just as a side reference, the “iMac” is that all-in-one computer that just looks like a big monitor on your desk that connects to a keyboard and mouse.)

There are so many reasons to be glad not to have kids. Live it up, friend.

Here’s hoping it’s not exclusive to switch.

& a utility

Oh they don’t want that one.

They definitely ensured I became less inclined to even consider giving this game a chance.

Would successfully decompiling this game make the process any faster for the sequel, or is it just a manual labor thing?

I figured there was enough already to complain about, but if this is now what we’re complaining about, I start to think the game isn’t as bad as it’s being made out to be.

I just want to see what the game looks like at a stable framerate.

Does this go to show that authorities needing backdoors to everything in order to do their jobs is actually kind of nonsense?

I don’t like this rebranding to “open social web” like it was made for them.

Sounds like skill issue to be honest

Seeing this crop up as a semi-frequent response before the game is even out yet isn’t really selling me on it. I definitely see myself as skill-challenged, so it sounds like I won’t like the game much and anyone I end up playing with probably wouldn’t like me much either.

In the article there’s a testimony from someone who doesn’t normally like shooters being into this game. That actually kind of speaks to me, but I’m convinced that’s because the general public still doesn’t have access to the game yet. Once people start getting crazy competitive on this, it won’t be fun anymore.

Is this game actually good or just hyped up because it’s a valve game?

Does Microsoft get a cut of all pc games sold? Do all pc games play on Xbox consoles?

I don’t think any of it matters, I’m just stating things as I see it. Microsoft wants profits, the examples I listed before have not been as profitable as probably predicted, so they are trying to make it up by selling older exclusives to eager PS customers. Sony sending exclusives to Xbox probably isn’t seen as profitable to Sony, so maybe they won’t do it.

I am more inclined to think they are just selling to other platforms because they have to after dropping so much money on Activision, Bethesda, and trying to keep games pass a decent value proposition.

Granted, I think selling multi platform is a good move and I hope they stick with it, but I think the PS5 is trouncing the Xbox enough worldwide that even without a whole lot of first party games, PlayStation has no real obligation to throw Xbox any bones in kind. PC ports seem to be enough.

I got the steam deck to play older games and games that aren’t on my console of choice.

None of the games I play have given me any trouble, but I find myself starting each new game with a ritual of performance optimization tweaks. It could be anything from adjusting graphical settings to capping frame rates to changing the default resolution scaling, and sometimes I’ll revisit these during my playthrough. It doesn’t bother me all that much, but playing on a proper console is less hassle.

Sorry, sometimes I don’t articulate well. I edited my original comment. Maybe it will clarify what I mean to say.
