Have you even looked at the computer electronics business? Or lived a few decades? Otherwise how can you have no experience of a company deciding your use of a product doesn’t meet THEIR expectations and so they invalidate your warranty claim? Heck, look at what Intel is doing right now with its 13 and 14 series chips.

Legality is nothing without enforcement, and there’s like none of that for warranties in the US, and even less for global companies with overseas HQs.

I saw a lot of negative comments in a YouTube thread. I only played the OG once, so perhaps it’s not sacred enough to me, but what I saw looked good.

P.s. when I completed my first playthrough, it was in 2021. My experience is that the original is not as good, now—compared to modern games and storytelling—than rose-colored glasses might suggest.

I had no trouble recognizing him.

I used 3d printing to make custom screw covers. Looks like that IKEA piece could use some, too!

I tried several and most did not play well with the Steam Deck. Serum and the car survival game were the bigger disappointments, there; really wanted to try them.

I’m awake you can download proton hacks to make them work, but that’s not the point, imo .

I’m currently totally hooked on Tiny Rogues.

More walking simulator less actual gaming.

See… I think it’s kind of a bad game for all the same reasons.

I think I bounce pretty hard off the stated intent to make the player feel the suffering of living through war. I’m not going to play a game that intentionally sets me up to fail.

I’ve only used prusa slicer, which is what it looks like OP is using, and it results in printing perimeters first, then inside.

… I’m shocked. I thought all development on subsonic had dried up. I used it and dsub for literal years, but switched to Plex after it seemed I was paying for nothing. :(

Hmm. Data is only for 1/1/23 though 12/15/23. The last 15 days of the year aren’t significant enough to change the outcome? Somehow, I’d think otherwise. For example, I spent $120 at the start of the winter sale, but nothing in Oct-Nov.

These are true criticisms, but I’m not sure if they’re fair. To the best of my recollection, Steam had none of those things in 2008, either, about the time they were the age of the EGS, now.

You could say they should (be able to) compete on the merits alone, without free games or paid exclusivity, but that argument wouldn’t reflect reality: you need a hefty carrot to lure people away from their comfort zone.

Dave the Diver has lost me at about 8-10 hours. I detest doing chores for underwater people.

The game is entirely too wide and too shallow: it has too much in it but very little depth. Kind of ironic.

Yeah, I’m not defending any cheese choice; everyone can do themselves. I was just remarking that food appearance heavily influences sales, and everyone is susceptible to that bias.

But almost no one would buy it if it looked all clumped up like that in the package in the store.

If it was important, why wait so long before prompting them again? No, it’s not your fault, but if it was a machine on the other end you would have already gotten an answer, so some understanding and accommodation seems reasonable.

Bad take.

I’ll remind you that Steam needs SOME competition in order to actually get better, and I can’t think of anyone else able to do it (Microsoft has kinda already tried and failed). Remember when Steam suddenly addressed long-standing issues with the client and storefront a couple years ago? That was because the EGS appeared.

I’ll also remind young folks that the Internet was extremely negative regarding steam when it was new. Yes, I’ve been on Steam for 20+ years.

Tldr: EGS is fine. Relax.

Edit: clarity

I haven’t heard they break easy. What more can you share?

Interesting. The back of a tube of sensodyne in my medicine cabinet right now says that stannous fluoride may stain teeth. Hard to understand why a 2013 article would contradict a 2023 toothpaste warning.

Hmmm. I own it but haven’t ever played it. Are there bad controls or other bugs or quirks with the original… You know, something that would justify a remake?
