I’ve seen people mention headlines that memory producers are intentionally not increasing production in order to not have a post-bubble glut - but also found at least one headline suggesting that they were in fact planning new factories, so… Who knows.

I’ll just blanket say anything by Zachtronics and Inkle would be excellent. I think Zachtronics even used to have a way for schools to license their games out for free?

Just Dance+ streaming service will become more expensive whether you purchase access via a 1 Month Pass, 3 Month Pass or 12 Month Pass.

1 Month Pass will increase in price from $3.99 to $4.99, while a 3 Month Pass will rise from $9.99 to $12.99. Finally, a year-long pass will cost $29.99, up from $24.99. These changes will be applied from April onwards.

So far, all planned gameplay updates for SM2 have been free - cosmetics packs are what are available for sale, and that’s all that’s in the season passes.

Your screenshot doesn’t support your text, and from what I recall they say that:

• if you put your game on sale cheaper elsewhere (but are selling steam keys), you need to have a similar (not even identical) sale on Steam at some point.
• You can’t undercut Steam’s price and sell the freely generated CD keys that add the game to a steam account elsewhere for a lower price.

That’s it. It’s actually about the CD keys, not the game itself. There’s no rule about selling the game on another store, using that store.

Found the doc I was thinking of. They actually just say “a worse deal”, so it’s not even about a lower price.

Your screenshot there seems to be quoting this page, in fact.

My point is that they absolutely don’t enforce pricing, that was something one dev said in a lawsuit and you’ll notice they didn’t get agreement from people. You’re welcome to check the documentation out, or find any other source that isn’t bad reporting based on a lawsuit that wasn’t successful?

Ahh, that’s a shame.

I was sort of waiting to get back into it until after the December (?) performance patch - sounds like that hasn’t arrived/helped? 😩

I think they’re saying this tech adds perceived sharpness to the upscaling artifacts 😅

John Walker (founder of RPS, back when it wasn’t a window to Eurogamer style content) is currently doing Buried Treasure, a small review blog for things that aren’t being appreciated by the masses. Well worth checking out!

Fairly easy fix, there, given this is Valve who own the marketplace:

• Only initially sold via Steam
• Require a Steam account to buy, and the amount must be unrestricted (have bought some amount of games, I think is the way they do that)
• Optional: restrict sales to 1 per account initially, maybe open that up later

It’s available to see in person in the tour of the GW HQ in Nottingham, just at the end of the first room (I think).

I’m sorry, do you mean Microsoft Copilot 365?

They’re not taking Splitgate 2 offline, they’re calling it beta again.

They’re taking Splitgate 1 offline, apparently because it’s costing them money (but possibly to drive people playing that towards Splitgate 2).

If you don’t count arbitrary clusters of buttons as a d-pad, I think this is an invalid comparison.

Do you count, e.g., the A/B/X/Y buttons as a d-pad?

I think the difference was that there was no impact damage for the vehicles in this game (so people were abusing it), whereas PS definitely did have that.

Pretty much that - the NAS instance is running all the time, and there’s a setting in Immich for the network address for the ML container(s) that accepts a comma (or semi colon) separated list, which is tried in order.

The docs mention that you can balance requests, but you’d have to use an external method for that at the moment.

If it helps, I have an ml container on my more powerful machine and have my Immich insurance pointing at that, then the local NAS container in order. If it’s on, it powers through (so I turn it on if I’m about to dump a batch of photos) and if it’s not it churns slowly through (e.g. if my phone uploads one or two).

It’s super easy to do! Would recommend.

Feels like anyone that confused would have a really hard time buying Steam games in the first place…

I am amused to report that this is a legally distinct definitely-not-Zachtronics company that just happens to have two guys (including Zach) from Zachtronics in.

… But yeah, they’re back, whoo!

Depending on how long you’ve been absent, Witcher 3 may tick some of those boxes for you.
