You didn't even need to do that, you could just start a group chat with just yourself in it.

No idea how to even do that tbh, but the big + to add a server button is right there.
Plus I guess the benefit of having a server is that I can have channels for different types of images, like screenshots and random crap can be separate channels.

But I guess not for long!

Build your own Retro Bundle 2023 | Fanatical

www.fanatical.com

Looks like it's poorly emulated/bad pc ports collection of games. But it's cheap enough to add to your backlog abyss, so...
Also, add code EXTRASAVERS5 to save a few cents.

I remember seeing Shadow Madness, ODT, Meat Puppet ads in CGW, Gamefan, EGM back in the day.

Do you still need some clunky app or does steam handles dual shock 4 games ?

No app needed. Steam has full DS4/Dualsense support

Nice, it'll come to PC too (remaster? update?). Touched up GUI stuff and pad controls will be cool

The dialogue font is incredibly bad, downright illegible in places even on a PC. Given how they refused to make it larger, I have no idea how you could play this on the Switch in handheld mode. Baffling UI choices. Instead of "remastering" the old ugly font, they should have just chosen a tasteful serif font, and increased font sizes throughout, or at least provide some options for players to do so.

By the way Valve update the CS2 banner, so now it has extra stuff and a nice little animation going for it.

Can't believe I'm reinstalling the demo now. AMD's Frame Generation got me too curious.

It’s software gaslighting, I swear. When the day comes that I can switch to Linux without losing anything of value, I won’t look back.

Will frame generation work on Steam Deck? I'm asking for a friend.

"Frame Generation works on Steamdeck, but only the Windows version of the game. Steam OS is not compatible yet."

You could try running the OS image off of a virtual machine. Here is a guide you can follow: Running the Steam Deck’s OS in a virtual machine using QEMU | The world won't listen

I'm not sure that'll accomplish much. I think the Steam Deck bonus profile/account items are unlocked from a hardware serial.

In short, you probably need to buy a Deck to unlock them.

Would it also work if you login on the Deck of a friend? If it only checks for a valid hardware serial, but you "activate" multiple accounts on one, then that might be an option if you really don't want to buy one

If you asked me which company in the gaming industry is losing money then I for sure would have put the company that has the Fortnite money printer near the bottom of the list. It is actually insane that Tim said they are earning less than they spend. Almost feels like some fucking Hollywood accounting has to be going on for that to be true.

And in retrospect, how remarkably stupid does Tim look after picking a fight with Apple and getting the game kicked off the app store and Google play? A quick search says Fortnite earned 700 million dollars from the app store. You think if they had kept that revenue flowing they maybe would have been able to save a couple of those jobs? Maybe even three? The way this guy is doing business is a complete joke.

Don’t think so. I think it’s one unlock per serial. So even if you could get a valid serial, either in hardware or via some VM, you’d basically be taking that entitlement from whoever owns the Deck with that serial number.

Or can I find someone to use to log in?

Sad news. Fate/Samurai Remnant keys from HB ended up being region-locked so that's no F/S R for me this month.

Speaking of Epic what the fuck...

I didn't expect to see the string "Epic Games" in my professional emails, and yet... I see an email about a talk by Simon Peyton Jones (a big deal: one of the lead designers of the Haskell language and compiler), I click, and...

IRIF Distinguished Talks Series
Wednesday November 8, 2023, 11AM, Amphi Turing
Simon Peyton Jones (Epic Games) Beyond functional programming: the Verse programming language

Since joining Epic Games in late 2021, I have been involved in the design and development of Verse, a new, declarative programming language that Epic plans to use as the language of themetaverse.
Verse is extremely ambitious: we want it to allow millions of programmers who have never met towrite code that inter-operates to build a shared virtual 3D simulation in which billions of users can interact. My current focus is on formally specifying the technical heart of Verse. At its core, Verse is a functional logic language, up to now rather a niche subject. In the talk I will give you a sense of what a functional logic language is; I will describe the challenges with giving it a formal definition; and I will sketch our progress in addressing this challenge using denotational semantics, rewrite rules, and a reference interpreter.

Now, there is nothing I don't like in the words "functional logic language", which is not a new concept (e.g. Curry language), but being tied to Epic and UE is not going to do the endeavour any favours, I think.

Verse Language Reference

At least it shows Epic has taste in what they buy with their fuck-you money, sometimes

So what games are you day1ing in october? Only I know of right now is Alan Wake 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Anything else depends on how much time I have and review scores.

 

[Ganado]

Finished RE4RE:Separate Ways and boy, even though I think RE4RE was brilliant on its own, Separate Ways really adds the cherry on top of the cake. My only gripe with RE4RE now is the nerf of the Salazar statue. Personally the OG game is still better (due to nostalgia), but I really would never recommend that one over the remake, due to how much more accessible RE4RE is. GOTY, no questions.

Well I was gonna get Fate/Samurai and MGS Collection. I was supposed to get a raise in mid-October. But due to some paperwork bullshit from a separate company outside my control, it looks like I won't even be getting paid period until mid-October instead. So atm, i'm just trying to hold on to whatever cash is left in my account.
