Promise you won’t rob me? Pinky swear?

I wonder if this has to do with an increase in console players moving to PC, or at least adding a PC to their gaming lineup at home. That and the Steam Deck which we saw also increase Linux’s market share.

It may not necessarily be PC gamers moving to controllers as much as its console players who have been most comfortable with a controller.

That’s how I am. I’ve been a PC gamer for a little over 10 years now (played PC growing up with Roller Coaster Tycoon, Sims, etc. but not counting that until I got an actual gaming PC) but I was mostly into consoles before this. But controllers have been a huge part of my playing experience and I’ve always preferred it for most games except the top downs like Sims and Roller Coaster Tycoon which I did play on console with controller but the PC’s ports doing have the same schemes available for those games.

It’s a play on the rap group “Run DMC” and instead “Run CMD” which is running Command Prompt on Windows which shows the C:\ while it waits for you to enter your command.

I got one I really liked a few months ago from Microcenter that says

Run CMD

C:\

Since I prefer controller over mouse and keyboard, it’s a lot of games pre-Xbox One era for me. But that is subjective because a lot of people prefer mouse and keyboard.

Games like Oblivion never had a proper way of getting a controller to work with them on the PC release and any tries to get it to work flat out suck. I’ve tried Steam’s button mapping and even that doesn’t work for a lot of these games. But working through an emulator helps translate my controller to the game with almost no issues.

Considering how the Steam Deck plays and you’re usually using it as a controller unless docked, this would be nearly any game from this time period.

Still runs Windows. Hard pass for that reason alone.

Don’t forget the lawyers. Where would Nintendo be in 2024 without those guys and gals?!

I always go for 720 or 1080 despite having decent 4K TVs. My reasoning is file size too but because I don’t have a ton of space to spare for all the stuff I want to store. I have about 2TB left but that’s going to get used up eventually.

There are some things I’ll go for the high quality stuff like Super Mario Bros which looks amazing but that’s rare for me.

30GB for one movie is nuts.

I’m really hoping so. I feel bad for players with the older headsets. It didn’t inspire confidence in me as a Quest 2 owner and it made me rethink an upgrade to a newer headset. I may be in the minority, but I like keeping older hardware/consoles as long as I can even if it comes at a cost to performance. I’d rather be the judge of when I need something better.

I’m wondering how and why they made those changes after leaning more into open source and with third party headsets set to release soon.

Speaking as a Quest 2 owner, most games on there feel overpriced. Combine that with how Meta treats older hardware and you can safely guess that many players are probably not feeling confident buying games on that storefront anymore.

Meta recently made developers not allow new updates or installs for older headsets which effectively locks games you paid for away from you being able to play them unless you buy a newer Meta headset.

Conversely, you buy it on Steam where the prices don’t seem to be nearly as much in some cases too, and you can use it with nearly any PC VR headset and they don’t limit it only to newer headsets. Games I buy on Steam feel like mine and I actually have long term access to them. The Meta store’s versions feel like a long term rental situation, as long as I keep buying the newer headsets which is not feasible.

The only benefits of buying on the Meta store is that it can be taken on the go and doesn’t require a PC to play.

Another streaming service that was never needed and shocking going to cost more because the parent company is fucking stupid and greedy as usual.

Not to mention it was a smart home with all kinds of AI minus the “artificial” part of AI.

It’s not Lemmy as far as I know, but Dread is an onion site like that other site we don’t mention.

I worked with adults with developmental disabilities in my early adult life, specifically those with behavioral issues and some with gang affiliations (some of them may have been on the spectrum or may not have but used our program as a way out of jail/prison).

I got punched in the chest, spit in the face, threatened with stabbing, and more. I’m sure at some point I was either slapped or punched in the face too.

Went through this at work and we owned the device and it was a nightmare. They make you wait like 6 weeks for a single email that never came to us and we ended up forgetting about it by the time the 6 weeks was up.

Most boomers who come to me for free tech support are the ones who don’t know how or even that they can bypass those and will be the ones to pay to read the article.

Gears of War: E-Day.

That trailer is like bringing the original team from 2007 to 2024 to make this game and trailer. I had to watch it three times last night.

Felt just like when I was in high school and ooing and awing over the trailers for the original game. I remember those late nights with my cousins playing co-op against the hordes.

Don’t put up with abuse. I let a woman take advantage of me and abuse me, mentally, emotionally, and physically, for almost 4 years. I was determined not to hit the 4 year anniversary, but I feel stupid letting it go on at all. She still tries to reach out and every now and then but I’m over it. I let her have a ton of control over my life back when we spent time together.

It was hard dealing with it and it was hard getting over her.

I can confirm it “works”.

SteamVR refuses to connect but ALVR for my Quest 2 worked. I played Alyx on the lowest of low settings and it was working, but very sluggish. Very slow FPS and horrible graphics.

I didn’t try any other games but I was curious.

I remember feeling dumb as a kid when the teacher had us try. I legitimately couldn’t replicate any of those areas shown in the textbook.
