That was the most logical answer I came up too. Its just crazy to do the right thing and make if work offline instead of just binning it like so many other live service games.

This is… kind of weird, no? Like why would they pull the plug on an app that keeps the microtransaction money rolling?

Zombie Rollerz - A Rougelike Pinball Game

Pepper Jobs Media Remote. Changed my living room media center for good.

Looks like the perfect amount of goofy to dump like 20 hours in over a couple weekends then never launch again

Good read, thanks!

Worked as a telecom lineman, he’s not wrong, but we (our company personally) normally go the extra steps to remove it for aesthetic reasons. Helps when the job is done and the foreman is doing his review walks.

So my sticks still work, but I’ve worn down the rubber on two of the left joysticks so much its crumbling apart. Purchased in 2021 and was my main driver until that happened about 6 months ago, so a fair bit of use. Used that opportunity to try out the PS5 controller and the new Xbox series ones.

And I mean… they’re good?

The resistive triggers were cool and the touchpad is really customizeable. Xbox controller stays solid but boring.

Switch Pro controller feels great but weird to be playing PC games with. Nothing WRONG with it, just feels mentally disconnecting for some reason lol.

Idk. For me the Pro 2 and the wireless SNES sized 8bitdo controllers are perfectly comfy. Have an ultimate in its way to me now actually.

Edit all of my controllers are non hall effect

8bitdo Pro 2. I LOVE me some 2D platformers, and the D-pad is absolutely amazing for me. I think I have 4 in total now, two wired two wireless?

Only problem is the sticks wear out, but they sell replacements! So no tossing the whole controller :D

Farcry 3-5 are some of favorite games to revisot. Gameplay is just so solid.

Yeah, it felt nice to play, but after dumping 8 hours into it two weeks ago I can’t even remember what a single enemy looks like.

I recently gotten into Python programming for funzies with ChatGPT as my tutor. Definitely need a tool like this.

Thats a fair and valid point. I can see how that could lead to whale like spending behavior vying for attention.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The tutorial sections did absolutely put me off the first time, but I saw flashes of brilliance after I got over that hump. Definitely gonna give it another go after the Helldivers rush wears off.

Im an avid twitch user. Please put down the pitchforks you may have from the title. This is her whole schtick (morgpie), finding creative ways around the censorship. Yes she does sex work, but she’s also a great streamer in her own right and is actually playing the games on screen. She constatly holds a chat of like 4k people and streams for HOURS. You can only horny watch for so long, at a certain point people are staying because they just enjoy her personality and stories.

Like this is fucking hilarious. Subjectively ofc, but If my owlverweight man ass were to do the same thing, everyone would just be laughing at me.

Man I WANT to love Horizon. It seems exactly like my type of game. But everytime I play it everything feels… insincere? Idk something about it doesnt hit. Still paid for it day one when it came to PC though to support the cross platform Sony initiative.

Would love some Lemmy input on this as well

its okay, you tried ♥

Thanks for the link¡

I could be wrong, but I believe WMR requires the WMR Portal app and the WMR For Steam VR (from steam) to function properly. I think there has been SOME progress made with unofficial support, mainly driven by the Linux crowd where they dont work at all, but not anything resembling a functional replacement.
