Even when people were saying that MS turned a new leaf and that they are better at managing all the studios that they buy, and that they’ll make more better games for Game Pass to be a success, I knew that this was coming. Microsoft has been nothing but consistent in this one thing: it’ll pivot hard in one direction, pour tons of green into it, hire the best people, and then fire everyone and abandon the idea forever.

Zune, Windows Phones, Kinect, and now I guess XBOX. Well, looks like it lived long enough.

Yeah, not buying anything from a company that can't even do as little as saying "Nazis bad" after sending out SS symbols.

All they did was a non-apology and attempts at gasligting by saying it's their heritage.

Step 5. Watch it reboot overnight and download even more useless bloat

We just got a pretty good Dead Space remake, so maybe

Jack black as gorons. All of them, the whole race.

Also other games from zachtronics: TIS-100 and Shenzhen IO

It can do "not giving money to Microsoft" at least, so just for that I'm curious

Some of the directories are in the home (the tilda ~ means home of the current user) and home directory is not immutable

Psychonauts 1 and 2.

Some of the most imaginative big budget games in existence, from themes to art style to level design

Guacomelee should get more love, it's a really stylish game and there is even coop if you want to play together with someone.

Three underwear?

Or Canon printers. Or any inkjets for that matter

Thank you for the advice. I have flexible schedule and constant availability, so setting a time slot is complicated, but I’ll have to try from now on.

historically nobody noticed when you didn’t clean up a machine-translated subtitle

I don’t know about that, it’s super noticeable when that happens, it’s just that it mostly affects languages other than English, so it did not get noticed by Western media unless there is a review bombing campaign after a particularly atrocious localization

Xbox 360 had Call of Duty 2, we are on CoD 36 or something right now, of course Xbox 360 is retro

I wish I lived somewhere with awesome vegan options like this...

Hope you don't keep it vertical, there were videos on YouTube saying that liquid metal in the original models pools at the bottom with time

They were also putting bleach into the pool trying to kill the algae, and maybe that helped the paint peel off

Jak and Daxter are better played via OpenGoal - a modern open source engine implementation that runs natively on Steam Deck and includes fixes, graphics improvements, proper widescreen, etc.

I think 1080p/60 is the best you should expect, and depending on the game it might be too much still. I’ve tried connecting it at 4k and even the UI had issues for me.

Edit: you should also be aware that every game has a resolution limit that is set at 800p by default, you need to adjust game properties to allow higher resolutions to be selected in-game
