I’ve just tried to play again on pc with a dual sense controller. It feels like I’m fighting the game the whole time. Maybe I need to try something other than the default configuration.
Props to hello games though. It has probably the most complete support for steam input actions and action sets that I’ve ever seen. Better than portal even.
I can’t read the link but if we just gauge the health of the indie game portion of the industry by how many games are released, I think the only conclusion you can make is that it’s quite healthy. In no small part due to steam which provides discoverability for smaller titles and handles a lot of the technical stuff (downloads, multi-player, even drm) so indie devs don’t have to.
You just seem to have a chip on your shoulder in this department and it’s not clear why other than “billionaires are bad”.
Well, that sure took a turn I wasn’t expecting.
Provide one example if it’s so ubiquitous. I have been following the EGS discourse for years and never seen anyone complain about the free games.
Maybe complaints about how the games aren’t worth it because you have to use EGS, sure. I’ve made that joke myself. That’s a different complaint though.
Go ask any indie developer if they think the 30% cut valve takes from sales through steam means they’re “getting fucked”. I can assure you, the vast majority do not.
Serving files, absorbing the costs of credit card payments and charge backs, and maintaining community forums is worth the 30% alone. Hell, just being able to list your product on the most popular store is worth it for some people.
In my industry, physical stores won’t even consider stocking your product for less than 40pts of margin and the big guys expect you to absorb the freight costs as well.
30% on storefront sales and you can sell your own keys for 100% profit on your own site is more than fair.
I’m sure you came up with that 5% number after careful research and didn’t just pull some low round number out of your ass.

Nobody shit on epic for giving away free games. You can’t just make a completely false statement like that.
People don’t like epic because they bought games and made them exclusive to their store.
Turns out you’re correct. I appreciate the correction.
Vegas is almost entirely powered by the hoover dam. It’s already pretty green as far as energy goes. The question will be where do they get their power from in a few years when lake mead dries up.
I got one of these calls last week. I told them for $10m they could have it. We haggle for a bit but they weren’t willing to even meet me half way.
I don’t like Kevin Costner.
I’m not passing blame. Just giving an example.
I can kind of feel the author on this. I’m in charge of a lot of “special projects” at work that basically come down to, “figure out a way to replicate this extremely expensive technology or software using low cost or free alternatives”. It ends up being an unholy mix of programs and hardware that is held together with duct tape and super glue and any minor perturbation means something breaks.
Ehrlich Bachman, this is your mom and you, you are not my baby.
The director of marketing at my company just got out of a meeting with reddit and is super hyped at funneling all our Facebook and Twitter dollars into reddit instead. I didn’t have the heart to tell him he’s five years too late.
He also has a company that does anti drone tech for the Department of Defense.
There’s a word for alternative medicine that works. It’s “medicine”.
I forget the attribution.
Yes, that’s my point. If you have a library full of 1080 h264 then the pi 4 is a better choice. The Pi5 will struggle with software decoding compared to the 4.
At the end of the day, they’re different boards with different use cases. I think a lot of people don’t appreciate that enough.
There are two separate entities: the raspberry pi foundation which is the charity and unchanged, and the raspberries pi holdings company which has always been the business side of the project. The corporation contributes to the foundation a significant amount of money which is not changing. The charity is the majority stakeholder in the company.
Here’s the founder explaining it
I do too but I’m old and my wrist can’t handle more than 15-20 minutes of mouse aiming anymore.
Gyro controls usually bridge the gap for me but my first attempt didn’t go well. I’ll give it another try in a while. I just saw neon white and curse of the golden idol just got added to gamepass so I’ll be playing those for the next week or two probably.
