At least we won't have to expect extermination of the human race to happen quickly.

That does sound quite a bit different, although without the actual details of the internal situation it's hard to say.

Stardew doesn't bother me because the updates are free. As soon as there's more content for the game, I have it. If I feel like playing Stardew again, the new content is a reason to jump back in to playing it again.

However with Dead Cells, whenever I think about going back and playing it I think about all the new content that I haven't bought for it. It feels like my options are spend money for the current complete game, play an incomplete version, or just don't play it right now. I've been deciding on "don't play it right now" for years now.

The original designer of Dead Cells, Sébastien Benard, formed a new studio and has a new roguelike game on the way called Tenjutsu in which players take the role of a renegade yakuza.

Earlier this year, Benard called the decision to end Dead Cells development "the worst imaginable asshole move".

I'm curious about how others feel about this. I think Dead Cells is an incredible game, but the amount of continued DLC releases has actually turned me off of the game somewhat. I'm actually glad development has ended in a way, so that I can rebuy the "complete" game and have everything.

The game already had tons of content, I don't think it needs perpetual new content additions.

Favorite: Steam Deck, it's my favorite piece of gaming hardware I've ever owned. The controls are fantastic, it's now frustrating to use other controllers that don't have back paddles, gyro, or track pads.

Least favorite: cheap off-brand controllers, with bad tactile buttons, sticking buttons, analog sticks that drift, analog sticks that only register 8 directions, etc.

Also, Wii U. I have some mixed feelings on it because I have some good memories with the system, but the hardware never paid off. Their were almost no games that made use of the gamepad screen in a way that wasn't just a gimmick, generally the only real advantages of it were being able to play on a handheld screen while the TV was being used (a feat that the switch and steam deck so far better) and being able to have split screen multiplayer where the players can't see each other's screen (limited because you only have 1 game pad, and the deck struggles to do two different rendered screens for many games, with games like Hyrule warriors having to cut the enemies in half when doing split screen).

I noticed something similar on websites like Reddit. I've come across an answer for a question on something I'm well educated on, and their answer is definitively wrong but "sounds correct". The reddit community will up vote them, and even down vote people who try correcting them.

But then later on I would come across a post on a topic I don't know, and I'm inclined to believe the answers because they sound right and there's a group consensus backing it up.

Persona 5's combat is really good, although I feel like it's less fun against bosses where you're not constantly getting weak point resets.

The Xenoblade games have fantastic combat, I'd probably rank them XBC2(late game)>Torna>XBC3>XBX>XBC2(early game)>XBC1

Yeah, seems to work pretty well on my Steam Deck. It's probably using more power, but it's a small enough increase that I couldn't confirm increased power draw without exporting mangohud values and averaging them.

I dropped the recorded length to 30min (mainly just want time to grab a noteworthy clip if something funny happens).

Google and Samsung now provide updates for 7 years, and Fairphone provides updates for 8 years.

From what I can tell, Apple doesn't promise a set number of years for updates. The iPhone x got about 5 years of updates before support was dropped, but Apple will occasionally give security updates to older devices if they're severe enough.

Yeah, the bank that manages my mortgage has mandatory text message 2fa if you're on a new computer. And something about Firefox keeps it from remembering my machine, so I have to do the text message 2fa everytime.

Right now it's working fine, but they had a period of a few months where the text messages would take 10-15min to send after you tried to log in, and the log in attempt would expire after 5 min, making it impossible to log in. All of which could be avoided if they would let me use a 2fa app.

Now the question is who did it better, 8-bit guy or Technology Connections?
