Isn't it a bit late in the year to be doing this? Like is this because we all know there's gonna be blackouts in the winter months. Will this be completed in time to prevent that?

Wow, thanks for summarising all of this. Its all a bit more nuanced then I had originally thought.

I'm aware but last I checked the adaptive triggers and some haptic were unsupported. Was asking if that's supported now or not.

S.N. not sure why you're being downvoted.

How's the dualsense running on Linux? I opted for Xbox elite purely because I thought it'd have better support for the back pads but still not over bluetooth :-(.

This is absurd. Where's the step to grow a beard and become a hobbit?

I see. Still don't really see why this was part of the movie but at least it wasn't just made out of thin air. For context the 80s was 2 decades before I was born. I also only really know of the olsen twins as Elizabeth olsens siblings XD.

Videos haven't had a single ad in years. It's always multiples bunched together and inconsistent as to whether you can skip or have to wait it out. Shows only ever have one opening (sometimes an ending as well) and their less predatory.

I actually didn't dislike it that much, but I think the visuals kinda fell apart near the end with a cg overload that diminishes some of the appeal of the movie. I don't think that part will ever age well. I also think some concepts didn't really have any significance and couldn't follow what the point of them was. Time control for example. The megalon prosthetic recovery. Etc. I think FFC had a vision and he wanted to produce it no ifs, ands or buts. That probably had as detrimental an impact as positive. There are some points where someone just telling him to tone it down could've done the movie some good. I did like the allusions to Rome, as a great republic (and later empire) that collapsed and how modern America resembles that with decadence and corruption. That vestal virgin sh*t was creepy as hell tho and I have no idea what the point of it was as it was basically forgotten 10 minutes later.

What is the basis of consistently here. Take2 broke Linux support for bioshock infinite a couple years back and valve refused my refund request. IME they have not done so. If they are for GTAV that's great. Maybe they only started doing this after the steamdeck came out but really they should have protections in the TOS to safeguard consumer purchases.

But in the end you get more feature for a higher price. In this case it's the same app for different prices depending on time frame... not to mention the app has no purpose beyond finding a wallpaper so it only really has 1 feature.

I legitimately avoided rockstar for years because they force you to use their store even when you buy on steam. I still haven't played rdr2, despite critical acclaim. I finally caved and got GTAV on sale cause I realised none of this shit works. Consumers using purchasing power to enforce standards is a losing battle. The storefronts or legislators need to enforce this shit. I think it should be valve. They have the market position and userbase to actually succeed or at the very least convince publishers to not break shit that was already working fine.

[–] emax_gomax@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I still blame valve a lot for this. Their TOS offer us no protection. Publishers should not be able to retroactively lock down a game. Diminishing the game performance or adding unwanted DRM after purchase should be a refundable offense. People choose whether or not to buy games based on properties like these.

 

Hi folks, first time poster so let me know if this kinda post belongs anywhere else. Just saw alien romulus and wanted to see others thoughts on the movie :-).

Personally the visuals were great and the xenomorph itself terrifying but I didn't care much for the story and the characters seemed a little 2dimensional. I also think it drifted a little away from the fear factor to shock. I'd say 6/10. Enjoyable watch but nothing special.
