Okay I'm not sure how long you gave it, but it's okay to not like something and also to not have to dunk on any semblance of a failure narrative.

I personally don't enjoy extraction shooters in general, Marathon bucks the trend however, it's clean, tight, engaging and I want to jump in even if I have a tough run. As someone who disengages with most games of this type (roguelikes in general I don't vibe with), new Marathon has something special. It's Bungie at its classic best.

The game does have a S'pht Compiler as a final boss in the final level, I'm not sure I'll ever see it because it's so difficult to achieve but that's okay, I've enjoyed plenty of games that I won't ever see the top tier content (WoW as a prime example).

I still don't understand the hate for this game, also when it's clear it's from people who have not played it. It's fine if you don't like that style of game, but it is excellent if you do.

The hater narrative is so weird. It's okay to not like something and move on, it's weird to flaunt it around and dance when any semblance of failure arises.

If you aren't already aware of it (and in the EU) please sign the stopkillinggames.com petition so companies can't just drop "support" (that these days means kill) games when they feel like it.

TLDR: Trojan can only be installed with an MDM setup, you should never enroll in random MDM profiles anyways. They started by using it in a TestFlight app, but Apple has since kicked them off.

Is it still a scam if everyone gets their money back?

This just feels more like incompetence rather than malice.

With newer versions of Steam, it's just handled automatically as long as you enable it, you can download from other players on the network. True not all games are on steam, and this probably works well for massive LAN setups, but I tried and failed to set this up, it's a bit of a pain and personally found it not worth the effort.

Real players just slide under all their belts.

Question is the self-hosted version less featured than the paid hosted version?

This looks amazing btw.

Introversion still exists and wasn't sold, they're making a somewhat similar game now - The Last Starship.

Oh nice Outer Worlds and Temtem for those who TLDW. Decent combo of games that I've wanted to check out but not enough to buy.

I don't see it being extreme to be able to play any game I purchased forever, instead of right now when if an online only or online required game shuts down, it is just gone.

Fuck transparency, just don't destroy games that don't need to be destroyed. The movement is specially designed NOT to be suggesting any laws as that's for law makers to design and implement, the goal is to show people don't want things they purchased to be remotely disabled.

Honestly, if you're not able to see through the issues and understand the underlying vision at this time then take a break. Everyone who has put any money into it has seen something in there, but the state of the game wanes and waxes, just wait longer if this is still not the patch for you.

I don't know if server meshing will be the magical fix, but personally I play this game maybe 6 weeks a year for a whole stint, but enough bugs that I need to take a break, and then finally jump back in when I'm ready.

It's not healthy to allow yourself to death spiral in frustration, just don't think about it for a good while, and then check in where it's at then.

The game is in active development, and I can tell you as both a regular software developer, and a games developer - games are a completely different beast, and generally come together at the very last moment even on the best projects.

Believe it or not, but the Switch has a touch screen.

Try Canada Computers or Best Buy.

What is Fortnite OG? A rerelease of the original mode or something?

Cheating is definitely a problem in SF6, but it's a lot less of a challenge dealing with it due to match duration. You generally move on to different opponents fast enough, unless of course you're at the highest ranks.

Still agree that kernel level anti-cheat does nothing here, and I also won't be buying it due to that reason.

You can trust the person, without trusting their technical skills, such that they haven't inadvertently installed malware on their own devices.

How do you feel about Doom-likes from 30 years ago?

Here's a link to something about the actual board game: https://promotion.greyfoxgames.com/

Honestly this is the best most performant patch they have released, and I'm genuinely excited about every feature here (yes I love master modes too).

There's obviously still bugs, and server performance still hits you like a truck, but I didn't expect any changes on that this patch.

Can't wait for 4.0 and hopefully the smoothness to be common rather than just for the first 15 mins of a fresh server (before everyone spreads out).
