Learned? Funnily enough, yesterday. But I first saw it probably late kindergarden or at the latest in early primary school, in the second half of the 90s.

That’s a fair gripe with the list. I guess “Top 100 Games” is just more catchy than “100 Great Games In Random Order”

… Although at this point I’ve seen so many “Top x y” lists that “x Great y In Random Order” would, ironically, catch my attention more.

I fully understand someone thinking x game deserves to be there instead of y but I think this is a great list that spans most genres and serves as a wonderful stepping stone for exploration within gaming.

If I give this list to someone who doesn’t know yet, what kind of games they like, this list will show them great games from all major “eras” and all kinds of dev studio sizes/budgets. And once they have played, say, KotoR 2 (since it’s in the same list that recommends new and good games like Baldur’s Gate 3, they are more likely to check out other old but great games like Gothic 1 and 2 (and, of course, KotoR 1).

I would count Sifu as being pretty linear and very good. Probably the best martial arts fantasy-ish game out there that’s single-player (for that but multiplayer take Absolver, the same devs’ first game)

Memories once buried have been unearthed…

But really, books already are not the way to make a fortune unless you are in the field of basically being able to dictate what books are used in every educational institution in an entire nation. How would they imagine a pirate, who shares these books, has server upkeep to pay and at best gets very sporadic donations, could afford a lavish lifestyle from this endeavour?

Smart! If my company ever digitises enough to make this a possibility, I’ll implement (or at least suggest) it!

Yeah. The clown award (and similar “derogatory” awards) giving the receiver Steam points is the worst thing that happened to the quality of posts/comments on the Steam forums. The first two comment pages on patchnotes of games like Helldivers 2 are almost exclusively pointfarmers doing their best to reap clown awards.

Okay, thank you for the comprehensive answer! I remembered wrong, I actually have the GTX 1660 Ti. Ever since I switched from my 970, I always mix up the numbers. Nonetheless, it changes almost nothing about your statement, I think, lol

I could be mistaken but I think I read something about being able to choose which games a child member can see and play? If your adult sis is prone to getting banned, just invite her as child, if the system works like that. Sure, the terms “adult” and “child” are more intuitive for regular people, but in essence it’s just “admin/mod” and “member”, no?

You’re right. And sure, it’s gonna suck for the twelve legitimate people who lose their access because their sibling is a dickwad, but that’s an okay tradeoff if it prevents a sudden surge of cheats.

Mhmm, I just noticed it yesterday when I first tried using it. But it doesn’t seem all good, because apparently it only works (without any workarounds) if you are on the same network. My sister, who lives in the same country but 400 km away, couldn’t join upon invitation :c

You’re right that these things have been happening for a while, but does it invalidate their actions now? Sure, it would’ve been better, had they said something earlier, but better do the right thing eventually than think “Eh, I didn’t open my mouth the very first time so it’s no use doing it now”…right?

I wonder what they think of as high-end GPUs, though. I’ve been using a GTX 1060 to run my games for around two or three years and am mostly happy with performance vs quality. Would a GTX 1060 today be out of AMD’s scope already or are we talking rivaling Nvidia’s 40xx series today?

Edit: If the video answers that, I apologise. I’m at work and can’t watch it immediately

A pretty good change for how I use Family Sharing. The only detriments seem to be the issue of the game owner being banned for violations of other family members and the 1 year cooldown between leaving and joining a family. Both should be manageable issues, though, if you’re at the point of trusting someone enough to log into their machine with your credentials.

I hope you’re right. It would finally be something very different and that’s necessary, I think.

I absolutely get where you’re coming from, but to be fair Team Fortress is basically a hero shooter as well, except that there can be multiples of the same “hero” on the battlefield at the same time. Or - and I’m genuinely asking because I haven’t played “hero shooters” in that long - am I missing a core distinction of hero shooters?

By whom and why would the sites get DDOSed if they didn’t use Cloudflare? Am I wrong to assume that internet traffic is just as trackable for the internet provider if the server traffic first visits Cloudflare vs just using whatever the provider…uhhh…provides?

Mind you, while I can follow a logical argument, most stuff concerning networks like the internet still feels like magic to me for the most part. We use Cloudflare because, after reading up on it a little bit, I got the notion that it would likely improve our connection speed and especially the loading speed of my gf’s webtoon sites. But that’s about the extent of my knowledge.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out Fight Club. Rewatched it a couple days ago because my gf didn’t know anything about it except the meme of “First Rule of Fight Club…” and I had last seen it possibly 20 years ago.

If we factor in failure rates, definitely the Valve Index Controllers.

I fucking love them when they work, but this is the second or third time that I had to get one replaced by Valve in the 7 months of having them. Please, Valve, Index users are already paying premium money. We’d like controllers that don’t just stop working properly despite NOT having hit them against walls repeatedly or anything of that sort. It also can’t be super lucrative for you if for every sold pair you create and ship out 5 replacements.

I love Sky and most people there genuinely are so nice. And now on Steam I can finally play it with a decent framerate (the Switch was a big step up from my phone already but that still struggled sometimes)
