That would be great. Also have two already. Hopefully prices go down. Its much cheaper to get a PS5 than an oled steam deck here.

Fair enough. I haven’t paid either but I don’t have a huge GOG library. For epic games I consider it better than HGL. Less logout issues like I have with HGL, and it’s easier to navigate to.
The Epic games are part of their public (free) release, but GOG is still in beta/alpha and I think you make a one off patron donation or be a part of one of their patreon tiers to access it. Its a solo dev effort with a tonne of time put into it.
Junkstore from the Decky-Launcher can give a close to native experience. Its kind of a paid app though. Otherwise heroic games launcher works well.
Beautiful architecture and streets. A lot of homelessness and rats everywhere though. Bakery food/breads were fantastic. We found people to be a lot more welcoming in rural France than in Paris.
Didn’t go during Olympics, this was pre-COVID.
Financially, I’m not sure if you could say that starfield or fallout 4 was a failure… Look at steamcharts player counts as an indication. All time peak concurrent players:
Skyrim: 90,000
Skyrim SE: 79,000
Fallout 4: 470,000
Fallout 76: 72,000
Starfield: 330,000
Sure skyrim has sold on many platforms and over time likely has sold the best, but you can’t say that starfield and fallout 4 were commercial failures. Starfield being on game pass day 1 means the real concurrent numbers would be enormous.
I’ve not played starfield and agree it looks like shit, but TES VI is likely going to sell gangbusters to mainstream audiences given how much Skyrim broke into the mainstream.
I agree with you that Bethesda isn’t what they used to be with TES Morrowind - Skyrim era and desperately need to get rid of that engine. But for the metric that truly matters, sales, I don’t know what it would take for TES VI to fail.
Been playing for the first time Disco Elysium, but also have Kingdom Come:Deliverance and Titanfall 2 (Although I played it already 6 years ago) installed on my PC after getting them on deep sale recently.
I would imagine this game is going to be the best implementation of the dualsense haptics yet. Astros Playroom being the current best.
Bad headline but reasonable argument within. Concord probably failed for the reasons people outlined, sure.
The point is that peoples fingers aren’t quite as on the pulse of what will make something successful as what we give ourselves credit for. We attribute reasons for something’s success or failure after the fact.
Personally, I don’t know what makes a hero shooter successful or not. A game like this could be going gangbusters for some reason in 6 months time and I would probably not understand why. I say that as someone who’s been an avid gamer over the last 30 years.
Barefoot Investor was really good for my wife and I when we joined finances. Particularly having our own “splurge” accounts means we don’t need to ask each other before buying our own personal or frivolous things.
I don’t have anything particular to add but I just wanted to say that I like this content.
Great answer, thanks!
What is the big difference between Cosmic and Gnome? I know System76 are developing it so I would imagine they have a problem with Gnome and their hardware business.
I used popOS! for a year and did get annoyed that Gnome required extensions that were not necessarily maintained in order to allow for what I considered to be basic customisation.
On OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE now, but interested to see what the philosophical difference is between Gnome and Cosmic.
I am very excited to see it booting. I wonder how far away we have from it actually running.
PSVR2, you cannot buy replacement parts. There are a number of flimsy parts on this device, bits of plastic that can deform. Once that happens you are out of luck if you aren’t within the warranty.
I still haven’t played the first. It was fine without.
Worth it for the campaign alone at 5x that price. I got the game with no expectations years ago and was very impressed.
Not a stupid question. This is completely separate to the monthly PS plus subscription. Basically this makes your steamdeck a PSPortal.
Mmmnnn yeah probably… Lies of P is the closest game I’ve found to Sekiro.
Why do anything other than claim the free games honestly… The Epic launcher needs to improve drastically for it to be viable as a competitor.
