https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sony_Interactive_Entertainment_video_games

Sony has been the publisher for a zillion games via SEI.

They also literally directly own a bunch of game studios including Naughty Dog (The Last of Us, Uncharted, all the way back to Crash Bandicoot), Arrowhead Studios (Helldivers), Guerilla Games (Horizon) and now also Bungie (Destiny, Halo). That’s just a few of the big studios they own. Complete list here: https://www.gamesradar.com/playstation-studios-sony/

Edit: Oh and of course they owned the studio that made Concord (Firewalk Studios)

Some of the third party steam machines from 2015 actually had some distribution to Walmart stores. I saw it in the flesh!

Idk about that, Gabe did a bunch of interviews around the time of windows 8 saying that signed app requirements and the windows store fiat that MS was trying to implement was an “existential threat” to valve and that they needed to migrate to a neutral OS as much as possible.

I’d argue that what we’re seeing now from valve is the fruits of a 10+ year campaign to undermine windows. And MS has been digging their own trench undermining windows at the same time, making their job even easier lol

But idk if it’s fair to call what valve is doing as “don’t worry about the competition” - I just think they (accurately) view MS as their competition instead of epic or EA or whoever is trying to do pc game stores

Thank you!

Cool but you are actually wrong. I’m not even the first guy you were arguing with. It works you’re just bad at computer and that’s OK

No u

You said “no screen sharing software works on it”. If “it” is anything other than your POS laptop, then you’re a fucking liar

What you said is literally incorrect. There are screen sharing applications that work on Wayland. I just used one ten minutes ago.

Did you actually read the link? The study basically attributes all of the negative effects to the change and not specifically standard time or daylight saving time, so I think what that means is DST is no more or less good for people than standard time. The switching is the part that is harmful.

In what way? Healthiness of a time standardization seems like it would be hard to validate. I personally prefer DST I’ve never considered either healthier or unhealthier. I remember hearing statistics about an abnormal number of car accidents and stuff happening the Monday after DST/ST changes. I’ve also heard some rhetoric about risk of car accidents with kids walking to bus or school being mitigated by standard time.

I’m assuming you mean something less acute than those which are focused on immediate outcomes like death lol? The only thing health related I can think of is daylight exposure and vitamin d levels, but it seems inconsistent whether people are more likely to take advantage of extra morning sunlight or evening sunlight. Seems like it would be a wash?

Anyway, I’m legitimately interested to know what you mean by “healthy”

Seriously. People wonder why politics in America has become a game of Jerry Springer style antics. Then you see people that you otherwise agree with politically eat up garbage political “content” like this.

If you’re gonna spend your time focusing on politics, at least try to avoid wasting your regurgitating their circus PR events.

Big agree. Either hand wash all or dishwasher wash all. To live in between is to suffer

Yeah I don’t think people realize that the biggest advantage of owning is to lock yourself into a stable housing cost. Even before it’s paid off, you lock in a more or less stable monthly housing bill. Maintenance sucks, big ticket repairs suck. But you’re always going to need somewhere to live.

I bought a place ten years ago, and if I was renting the same house today it would be about double the mortgage. Sure, I highly doubt that doubling will happen again in another ten years. But I doubt even more that we will ever see the prices back at 2015 level.

Dark Place was amazing and stupid. Totally forgot about that one

Childbirth seems decidedly not chill. Maybe women just want to chill

Alcohol

It never existed. It’s pure fantasy.

Can we try to land him in his stupid fucking orbiting car or whatever

I’m not OP but I am a long time DA fan (in the sense that I have played each game as a non-completionist at or shortly after release, and have often listed Origins as one of my favorite games of all time) and I’m right there with you on the previous games. I found the game totally fine. It was on par with inquisition and better than DA2 imho. If you liked the others and are a fan I think you’ll enjoy it well enough. Sure, some of the dialogue and story is a little stiff, but I think people have rose colored glasses on when they remember DA:O’s story.

It’s really hard to get people’s real opinion about the new game because a lot of them just wanna use it as a culture war proxy and either hate it because it because they’re anti-LGBTQ, or vehemently defend it to show how pro-LGBTQ they are. Both groups are annoying even though I am a leftist. I don’t really give a fuck about any of that in the context of the game. The game is fun and anyone who is obsessing over the game for political/social stuff probably didn’t actually play it, because it’s a tiny tiny portion of content in the middle of a huge game. People just want to paint this as a bellwether on the future of wokeness in games, when in reality it’s just a bellwether on if people are still into the same ol (fun as hell) BioWare formula.

Ghost of Tsushima is amazing! I’m not usually the biggest open world fan, but that one really worked for me
