  • With it, you can use your Xbox controller to move around the screen and type.

    Does that mean you couldn’t before? Seriously people were playing around on a handheld that couldn’t even type?

    Button accelerators are also available; these include the X button for backspace and the Y button for the spacebar.

    WTF!? Isn’t that standard also?

    For better movement patterns, the keyboard keys are aligned vertically."

    Does this even make a difference?

    In any case, the title is bullshit, it should be that will make windows handhelds close to typing on consoles which sucks. Typing on the Deck is a completely different experience, one that can’t be replicated in any of these handhelds because they lack the hardware to do so.


  • They do the same with all games that I have from them. Crusader Kings, Stellaris, etc. The base game is always great on its own, then you have very cheap cosmetic DLC and more expensive content DLCs which add new mechanics and expand the game (they also always release a free update for everyone who owns the base game when a new DLC gets released. Oh, and all of their games are moldable, which means you could just implement the cosmetics (and even lots of the other parts of the DLCs via mods).

    Paradox gets shit for their DLC model by people who either don’t play their games, or by people who are so obsessed by them that they think you NEED a given DLC to play it (just because they know of a strategy with it).




  • This is what you said:

    While that may be partly true, (also likely) depending on the county you’re located, they’re not able to revoke the license though.

    The same is true for Steam, laws are laws

    So in this specific case you having the files makes a world of difference.

    You also have the files if you downloaded them on Steam. What’s important is whether those files can be used on their own or if they’re protected by some form of DRM. If the files can be used on their own it doesn’t matter if you got them from Steam, GoG or a physical disc. If on the other hand the files are DRM protected you having them is useless, whoever controls the DRM controls your files, again regardless of where you got the files from.





  • While I get where you’re coming from, Fallout 76 was a bad example, you don’t need a subscription to play (unless your preferred system of choice asks you for it regardless of the game you play) and it is intended to be a multiplayer first game, you might not like it, but it is not an example of what you’re complaining anymore than Elder Scrolls Online or World of Warcraft (which actually has a subscription model).

    And the answer is simple, don’t buy those games, there are thousands of excellent single player games, if always online games start to fail companies will stop doing it, vote with your wallet. I recommend taking a look at indie games, there are several excellent games and almost assuredly they don’t have DRM, or at least not always online ones.




  • Switching the emphasis on one word can completely change the meaning of a phrase, there’s one example I love: “I never said she stole his money”

    • I never said she stole his money (someone else did)
    • I never said she stole his money (absolutely not true)
    • I never said she stole his money (I wrote it down)
    • I never said she stole his money (it was someone else)
    • I never said she stole his money (she might have just borrowed it)
    • I never said she stole his money (it was someone else’s)
    • I never said she stole his money (she stole something else)



  • Is it? Then what is the gender of the person you’re replying? Surely if it was important you would need to know it before replying. The fact that you can reply someone without knowing their gender is proof that it doesn’t matter here.

    If gender didn’t mattered IRL, trans people would be seen in the same light of someone who likes wearing black, or is unhappy with the way their nose looks to the point of doing a surgery about it. Trans people suffer because society puts a lot of importance in gender, therefore wanting to dress clothes from a different gender, or having a body that looks a different gender are “radical” ideas that offend simple-minded people.
