I went this route for now. I bought some additional storage, and once I get some time, I plan on shuffling some files around and making a Linux partition. I was considering Mint, but think I’ll try Bazzite instead.

FFT is hands-down my favorite Final Fantasy game. I’m busy with other stuff at the moment, but I definitely plan on getting this one eventually.

It was definitely one of the funnier hacking incidents I’ve seen in a game.

Video is way off base. The game’s map is based off maps from the TTRPG, so they were going for accuracy to the source material. Also, having a smaller, denser map doesn’t necessarily equate to more story/gameplay. You still need writers and programmers to do their thing, even if the artists don’t need to make as many assets.

Also, fast travel was in the game since launch. Sure, you had to unlock each fast travel point, but that’s pretty standard in open world games.

Personally, I liked Night city as it was. It’s probably one of my favorite game worlds to exist in. More often than not, I found myself hopping on my bike and riding to my next destination while listening to the radio, rather than fast traveling. Screw cars though, lane splitting is much faster.

Usually it’s not so bad, but they’re making those cuts really close to the words spoken. It’s also more jarring because you can see the cuts on the screen.

One streamer dropped over $100k on Diablo Immortal when it released. His gear was leveled so high, he couldn’t match against anyone else in pvp.

It’s a big reason why I tend to avoid Kickstarter/early access games. I understand the funding these campaigns bring in help keep the studio afloat, but I would rather wait for the full release.

I remember getting punished by trying to use the Descent 1 cheat codes in Descent 2.

Starcraft 2 for me. I haven’t had an optical drive in my pc for probably 10 years or so. The last “physical” game I bought was Mass Effect Andromeda, and it was just a box with a download code inside.

PC gamers were incentivized to move away from optical media asap, since optical drives read slowly compared to HDDs, and SSDs are even faster.

I uninstalled when EA denied Bioware the resources for the overhaul project, since that meant it was only a matter of time before the plug got pulled. Super disappointing too, since Anthem would’ve been my “perfect” game, had they reworked it to a good state.

It’s a copypasta.

The Steam controller was definitely interesting. I bought two, one shortly after they released, and another when they were clearing them out. I never could get the hang of using the trackpad in place of an analog stick, though, and eventually bought an Xbox controller to game with on the pc. I still use one of them with my Steam Link when I stream tv shows from my pc to the tv.

I was hoping EA would greenlight the overhaul project, as I also really liked the flight and combat. I understand why they didn’t, but it still sucks to see this.
