- 4080 12gb boxes destroyed/recycled, costs most likely subsidized by nvidia.
- According to 1 AIB source. the "not 4080" card will likely be priced lower than $900
Yeah, it definitely went from sorta on my radar to a serious contender for a day 1 purchase. I liked the game overall. That said, 100% the same experience with performance. It is bad, really bad.
I tried out Darktide. The performance needs some work, and there appear to be some common settings missing (No sensitivity slider?), but otherwise you can have a good time in the beta. I got it working on Proton (Linux).
I'm always looking for another good L4D-like. It has the bones of Vermintide 2, but the increased focus on firearms and level design catered to enemies that take cover and shoot back gives it a different feel for sure. I'm not sure it'll have the same variety of builds of say Vermintide, but the classes seem fun so far. Charging over a group of enemies as an Ogryn is pretty satisfying. I'm interested if the character customization on your background will have an impact on the banter, since not having pre-defined characters this time could lead to less memorable dialogue. I'm not very familiar with Warhammer 40K, but the visual design is nicely done.

Yeah it makes sense that Nvidia would have to pay for this mistake. If they planned this to be a $900 card then they probably sold it to partners for $850. Now if it becomes a $700 card then Nvidia will have to pay back the difference at the very least. And also pay for incidental costs like packaging and stuff as mentioned.
I still have to wonder what prompted this hugely embarrassing move. It has to be something really, really big.\
EDIT - Okay apparently Nvidia told Polygon that they hadn't started manufacturing the 12gb card yet. So I guess partners wouldn't have had to pay for them yet and their expenses so far are limited to engineering on samples and of course the packaging stuff and all. Although I wonder, was this not meant to launch alongside the 16gb variant next month? How can they not have started manufacturing if that was the case?

There was an Steam Client beta update earlier today that adds some changes around DLC and updates and how they are called out on the library pages.
steamcommunity.com
This is the other change that highlights major updates blue in the library page activity feed:
This is the change calling out that DLC has been added recently and will be installed:
Overall, I like this change, but I will be curious to see how long it takes for the notice to disappear on its own and will it disappear regardless of whether or not I have viewed it. Ideally it would disappear within a few days of seeing it, purchasing the DLC, and/or installing/uninstalling the the game.
Steam :: Steam Client Beta :: Steam Client Beta - October 14
The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes. Library Added a section to display a rollup of new DLC and other game content that has been released since you last visited a game's library page. Once visible, this section will automatically hide after a short period of time...
Here is how the available DLC callout looks in the library:

Sony's support of Steam Deck is very cool to see, hopefully Microsoft follows them. Their games are generally playable but with a bit more effort they could push them towards verified. Also, an XCloud Steam app would be nice.
Cyberpunk has a Deck setting IIRC.
Valve finally did it, they made new icon for mobile app that is designed like icons for Chat and Link apps.
Here's something strange, I did the SAM thing to remove one achievement games... BUT my average completion rate went DOWN! Shouldn't it be the opposite?
Steams achievement systems is such a mystery. Like some games where I removed the achievement, it still says its 1% done.

Who cares as long as it's optional.
I imagine Valve would opt for a Geforce Now kinda of thing, though. So you still buy a "real" PC game, you can still download it on your machine, but also run it on the Valve Cloud and stream it if you want to.
The biggest problem with cloud gaming is its threat to game preservation, but as long as it just takes regular PC games, which you still own and can install on real hardware, there's no problem on that front.
Cloud as a feature rather than the platform is the only way forward.
Computing at the edge is always going to be a better experience.
Computing at the edge is always going to be a better experience.
In the age where getting a new gpu is an herculean task and/or would cost you a kidney, I can see the apeal of renting an edge computer for a couple of months just to play whatever demanding game you're interested in, as long as you own the game and it's tied to the steam ecosystem.
Neon Prime does sound like a subscription service of some kind.
Maybe Valve is doing its own gamepass thing. 10$ a month and you get access to 100 games or something. Maybe a VR only service. Cloud makes sense too but I feel like they would have been beta testing stuff like that and it would have leaked by now with a lot of details.
Everyone is making billions every year with these subscriptions services. Even Nintendo with its shitty low effort online made a billion last year. It would be easy money for Valve as long as they don't get bad PR from it like charge people for online etc.

If you ever unlocked an achievement in a game, it’ll always count towards your AGC% even if you remove achievements via SAM/SAR, remove the game from your account or refund it.
So why did it go down? I assume a game I had 1% in before, now counts as 0%? I mean I do want to remove achievements in games where I just have one, but not to the detriment of my AGC!
Yeah, it's surely the Prime part of it but it evokes a sub service to me.
Which I'm very cool with. More than cool. Hyped as fuck ? Maybe.
Whichever way it goes it's interesting.
edit
But then, either way, why Neon ? Why not Valve or Steam ? I like the name, it's just a little odd to make a new label.

It could be a Steam Deck related thing too. A gamepass like for Deck users would make sense as it is much harder to discover new games on it compared to the desktop client with M/KB. A lot of newbies buying Deck who don't even have a other PC options as well. A lot of them pass on games because they aren't new enough or look too indie etc. Valve could put together a decent verified only handheld service for all the casuals.
I've used SAM to reset my achievements for a couple of games in the past, not because I didn't want them but because I wanted to refresh the date on the 1 achievement I had gotten. For some reason it really bugged me that the first achievement would be from 2017 or whatever, and the rest were from 2020.

CyberBlocker Complete Edition, a Japanese indie game released this week, is a rather fun arcade game, and a nice spin on the classic block breaker formula. It mixes Arkanoid, with a shmup.
Imagine Arkanoid, with the usual stuff (similar power-ups included). But, instead of a single paddle, you have 2. By default, they are detached, and the one below is just like you would expect (it moves, it grows with certain power-ups, ...), but it can shoot at any time. The second one you can move freely anywhere on the screen, so you use it to go hit the ball (which means, instead of waiting for the ball to come down like in most games of the genre, you actively go meet it most times on the top of the screen). But, you can also drop this second paddle all the way down, and it joins the other one, connecting side by side, and in this mode they both shoot projectiles.
Mix this with stages that are either typical of the genre, or ones that have shmup-like bosses and enemies, and an energetic dance soundtrack, and you have an addictive, high speed game, that really would have made a great title for the arcades.
If you like the genre, it's worth checking out.
There's a demo available on Steam, if anyone wishes to try it out.

I guess it's an age thing but when I hear Prime, I think of trucks that turn into robots.
depends on the sub model.
But like Gamepass it would make the aspect of just gaming when you like more like a spreadsheet to fill out, so that you get your money worth of gaming.
maybe I think I want to play the game for the unforeseeable future, and then I quit after an hour or two and I will have in the back of my mind, that I threw the money out the window because I don't feel that I want to play right now.
I'll do it the first time, I'll do it a second time, but I will think if it is worth it the third time.
Are you 100% sure of that? To my knowledge, once you unlock an achievement from a game it will always be counted no matter if you own the game or not.

He probably did when he went to Don Corneo ye
It's ridiculous how cheap the whole Metro saga is on steam right now.
Going to start Exodus now. Though the first 2 games are some of my favorite FPS, being broke prevented me from getting it sooner.
Don't sleep on this if you still haven't checked this series out.

I really enjoyed the first 2 Metro games, but I could not force myself to finish Exodus. I don't think the open world suits this game, because my favorite parts were the linear story moments.
I may have phrased that awkwardly a bit - my point is that if you have a 10% game and want to get your AGC higher by removing/refunding the game, it won't work (the game will still be a part of calculations). So we're saying the same thing in the end (and removed achievements via SAR/SAM won't count but the game will, even at 0% completion).
Motherfuckers really said yo what if Optimus Prime had titties.
Tried the Darktide beta, liked it a lot and Im suprised how well it ran on my rig as I keep reading about people with RTX cards having problems.
Maybe it's due to my 1080p monitor, but not sure. Still, my 1080p gsync monitor is keeping my GTX 1080 well alive.
I still have the money ready for a completely new rig (have had the money ready for 3 years at least), but as long as I don't need to compromise too much for my likings in games, I can keep using my current rig for now.
Only issue I had with Darktide is long loading times, but Im also one of the few people on the planet still using HDDs to play games, only have an SSD for the OS.

Even more news about ZA/UM and Robert Kurvitz's firing.
There's discussion about Kurvitz being blamed for fostering a toxic work environment, though the author says he suspects it was upper management that was actually the cause. But also, it paints Kurvitz as a troubled person... which isn't surprising.
So... that's nice? I mean, I hope it's not just naivety/optimism.
Dang. Awful. Though signing it off with bashing fellow voice actress for taking the job wasn't great, that's what the man wants, to fight among each other, right?
Of course the comments are stupid wars as usual, just comment on the awful situation folks, don't pretend to know about everything else like randoms calling Bayonetta an AAA game and most valuable IP or how Nintendo decided who gets what from the budget allocated to Platinum to develop the game etc. (not to say that I think Nintendo pay contract voice actors better than any other corporation but they're probably decent with localization studios like their Treehouse).

I don't get why the default mouse speed is so slow by default in a FPS, to the point that it feels like you're moving underwater.
Only now was Platinum asked if it's a new voice actress for Bayonetta 3 and they confirmed it with the token "schedule conflicts" reasoning, so that's a response.
It's not out yet. Edit: oh I guess you're talking about DE, never mind. I guess this explains it enough though. Being fooled/manipulated until shit hit the fan.
As i said i know person who works there and that person is very vocal about injustice but everything they said regarding this was that things are not how they look from the reports.
