While this is not a nice, I don't understand why this is a big deal? And why anyone would pirate the game as a result of this 2 Dollars increase (which in percentage as ~33% increase sounds worse than it is). Others are doing this too, adjust the price after long period of supporting it. And for such a low price and as an indie developer, I think it's only fair. Also for anyone thinking of pirating the game out of principle, rethink it again. Game gets deals over time and at some point it was available for ~4 Euros (which should be more like 3.79 Dollars or whatever it might be).
The game in question is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1846170/Iron_Lung/ BTW. It has Very Positive reviews on Steam and is a horror themed short game. And the dev doesn't even come up with fake excuses or anything like that, it's straight honest about making more money. Which is fair to me! And before anyone accuses me, I am not affiliated with the dev or game, never purchased or received anything; it's the first time I hear about the game. Just mentioning it, because of my positive words defending the price increase. This is a rare situation where I am fine with it.
Steam, the renowned gaming platform, is offering an array of free games that cater to different tastes and preferences. Let's delve into the details of these captivating titles that won't cost you a dime.
It's a little bit confusing title, because it's not Steam that has made the games for Free. This is not a comparable situation to what Epic Games does. Steam has nothing to do with the offering, other than hosting the game on the platform. All games are made Free by their own publishers.
Also it includes games that are always Free in price, such as Age of Advent. It serves as a sort of demonstration of the full game. And it never had a price attached to it, if I see it correctly. This article is either AI generated or the author don't know what he is writing (sorry if you read this, but its my opinion). Please fact check stuff before posting.
Twitch should have a second version targeted for adults and everything else. It could live together with Twitch for Gaming and save for kids. Let's call them Twitch Gaming and Twitch Live. And all problems are solved, world hunger has been defeated.
Right? Not only can you download from any place on the web and install directly, there are also established third party shops like from Samsung and Amazon or even better, F-droid for Open Source stuff.
Maybe its classified as controlling the market, because most people don't know about alternatives and therefore Google is a monopoly. Even if there are alternatives, Google is currently in a position to control almost all Android smartphones. Similar to why Windows was classified as a monopoly, even though we had Linux for ages as an alternative operating system. So this paragraph is just a guess by me.
Link is borked, as the click will link to this post for some reason. The video itself is a short video talking with a generated voice, while the "ah shit here we go again" sequence is played on top of the image with the date that Rockstar has posted. Nothing worth watching, so I will not link to it.
I recently finished the game for the first time and was thinking about to get Phantom Liberty extension too. Now I have to wait a bit longer. BTW in the article this part:
To ensure everyone knows it's not kidding, it even threw in a little fire emoji.
The fire emoji. It makes everything believable. xD
I hope Final Fantasy 7 Remake gets a good discount. The regular price of 80 Euros is too much for a digital only game to me. I can see it got a few times a discount to 46 Euros. Hope it will get to 30 or at least 35 this time.
It's just a celebration of videogames, an event for fun, an average of opinions. There is nothing to fight against or try to prevent. Simply put, if you don't like, don't watch it. To me it's a relaxed day and I like watching that event. Don't ruin it for others, because you hate it.
There are many Award shows and events for Games. What about them? Do you hate them all?
Another true IGN moment. 8/10? Man this thing looks ugly. And it can only stream your local Playstation 5 on the local network, otherwise it's useless. Battery life is a joke for a streaming only device. Does not have Bluetooth. And the price is expensive for what it does. Yet IGN praises this. Imagine Microsoft did the same thing for XBox. I really don't want to come off as a Console War guy (I'm a PC Gamer), but imagine that for a moment. And no, I do not hate Sony, I just hate this device.
But I think it does not support streaming over the internet. Its only limited to the same network you are with your PS5. Or am I wrong? Edit: Apparently I can't read. At least it is possible to stream your PS5 to other wifi networks.
Thanks for confirmation. One can't even stream the online streaming games with the PS Plus subscription. Its really only about the local games you have... I'm totally baffled.
Hmm, okay. So I got most of the stuff correct then (no internet streaming), but didn't got the part it would stream on other wifi networks. I skipped parts of the review, because I didn't expect that functionality would have changed. Shame on me and this should be a lesson! So then that went from useless (in my opinion) to useful at times.
But the PS5 has to run for that, right? Can you remote control to run and sleep the PS5?

I knew something was happening, because of the downtimes. I appreciate all the work and improvements you and the team behind it are doing. I don't know if this was a thing before, but I like the ability to hide commenter avatar too. And the themes, such a great update.
I felt getting ripped off by just reading the article. My recent PC build has 32 GB, is cheaper and the upgrade to 64 GB (meaning additional pair of 16 GB) only costs me around 100 Euros. It's nice that their devices are probably more effective and need less RAM, which the iPhones proved to be correct. But that does not mean the cost of the additional RAM units are more expensive. Apple chose to make them expensive.

Nice website. There is also Zeal: https://zealdocs.org/ and for other type of documents. There is Kiwix: https://kiwix.org , which I use to download the entire Wikipedia.
You can just transfer the files and it should find them again. I did that with Kiwix and Zeal, if I'm not mistaken. Nowadays I don't use Zeal, but don't remember having such a trouble when installing a new os and taking old HDD over.
Exactly. Battletoads isn't unfair, its just extremely hard (not different from Dark Souls). It's different kind of hard, compared to Turtles, which had bad controls in example.
Glad you like it. He always does this in-dept technical explanation, which sometimes is too technical for me. I noticed it wasn't even the video I wanted to link and updated the reply with the additional link about the water level specifically.
Secret of Mana was originally developed and planned to be released for the SNES CD ROM extension (named Playstation!). It had way more content, graphics and music in CD quality. But, as we know, Nintendo suddenly stopped the plans for CD ROM and Sony created the Playstation therefore. And this angered Squaresoft too, as they had to rework the game and create a cut down version for the cartridge, and it was still more expensive compared to CD too. And later when Nintendo went with carts on N64 again, they had enough and developed Final Fantasy 7 for the Playstation.
Yasunori Mitsuda, the main composer of Chrono Trigger, worked so hard and poured his heart into the game that he got sick and could not work anymore. And because of a hard drive crash he lost ton of in work tracks. That's why Nobuo Uematsu helped him to finish the scores.
I have tons of games on Steam I forgot to have them. In example I forgot that I had Skyrim and never played it. I've tried it this year for the first time in my life, just to see how it is. And immadiately could not play it, because the intro was bugged and I thought its a puzzle I had to solve. Took me until I understood that I had to limit the fps to 60, because Skyrim is buggy if you play it on a 120 Hz monitor.
Sometimes I get hyped when a game is on sale and want to buy and download, to play it. But then realize I already have it and immediately loose interest and move on with my life. Humble Bundle ruined my life.
What makes it worse for me is, that I sometimes fall in love with a Free to Play game, instead playing "owned" titles. Then there are the even more enormous count of emulation games with ROMs... and my brother gifted me a Series S where I had tried the Game Pass trial. I don't know where left and right is anymore.
I really liked this cover for Thunder Castle. Never even heard of the game but this is the type of fantasy art I crave. Gameplay doesnt look too bad either!...
I’ve been struggling with a rather complex shell script, and it’s becoming apparent that Bash might not be the best choice for this particular task. While I usually gravitate towards statically typed languages like Go or Rust, I’ve noticed that many people recommend alternative languages such as Lua or Python for scripting...
Looking at the comment history of this profile, is this a spam account trying to collect likes before it casts his spam magic spells? Sorry if you are a human, but you look like a malfunctioning robot.
At the moment, I am in a hybrid state. I also use Indivious to watch the videos, but I still use the subscription view of YouTube to see what video is new. I have 145 subscriptions. I installed a new addon Redirector, which you can guess what it does, and it redirects each new tab to an Indivious instance if it's a YouTube video page. So YouTube thinks I stopped watching videos at the moment. Sometimes I forget to middle click instead and get reminded how bad the ads are.
The reason I am doing that is, because I feared Google could delete my account, if I keep blocking ads with uBlock Origin. It probably never happened to anyone, but the uncertainty was too high to risk for me, as I need this account for other things. Also sometimes I want to like or comment on the video too.
That's interesting! I use RSS (and love it) and never tried this on YouTube. You know what, this is actually amazing! Right now I am visiting some channels which I do not want to miss content on and add as RSS News. Thank you for this!
The new voice of Mario who is the new voice of Wario, is also the voice of Luigi. Either this man is a talent who can do multiple voices, or they sound the same. I didn't play enough to know the answer. Has anyone listened closer?
If you say so and I think about, It makes sense. It's like an actor playing different roles in movies. I was really impressed when reading the news the Mario voice actor could do Wario as well and feel kinda dumb now. :D
