  • North Carolina parents arrested for letting their kid walk to the store. On his way home, he was killed by an SUV. The parents were charged with manslaughter.

  • I will admit, it certainly comes across like that. But it was more an illustration of how America works. This entire event is some crazy satire political cartoon that manifested itself.

  • Nearly 5 years in, PS5 sales remain neck-and-neck with PS4 | VGC

  • It used to be easy to build a PC that was double the performance of a console for the same price. And it was even easier if you sourced slightly used current hardware. Now you’re lucky to get last gen hardware for a decent price used. The market is garbage.

    Back in 2014 you could get brand new motherboards for ~$50, where it’s difficult to find any under $150 that provide decent features. I think the most expensive thing at the time was NAND due to flooded factories but everything else was super cheap.

  • It was removable, but used Dells weird connection. I just had to solder the connections of the new battery on instead of paying Dell $20 for a watch battery haha.

  • I had one of the Alienware Alphas with the 860m and desktop haswell 4130t. You could swap in a 4160 but your big enemy would be heat.

    I swapped the steam OS for windows and threw in some cheap 240gb adata ssd. Ran it for years.

    Only problem was the cmos battery would fail every now and again and I’d have to solder a new one in because Dell…..

    Anyways, I was in it ~$400 and it was a great htpc. Only real problem was haswell couldn’t decode 4k YouTube.

    The steam controller I still have, and it’s quirky. But I like it for the mouse function.

  • Steam Deck gets a Battery Charge Limit control in the latest Beta

    Jump

  • I thought the steam deck already had this. Admittedly, I’ve only had mine for about a month, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it charge to 100%. I think 95% was the highest I’ve seen. It seemed like it had something similar to smart charge like Windows has.

  • They’re features, not bugs in Bethesda games.

  • I’ve worked at a couple of Mom & Pop places in the south during my youth, and generally they were terrible with money, racist, and tried avoiding taxes any way they could.

    Small sample size with a sprinkle of confirmation bias on my end, but there are usually signs.

    Always need help? Discount on cash purchases? Making the customer pay the credit card transaction fee?

    There are many others, but those are generally the biggest ones where management is just interested in customer sympathy and the bottom line.

  • Tesla Is Allegedly Withholding Wages Of German Employees On Sick Leave

    Jump

  • That’s disheartening to hear. At least Tesla has to sell cars to even stick around and it doesn’t look good for them in Europe so far.

  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is Steam Deck Verified

  • I’ll take it if that means companies start optimizing their games better.

  • ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Is Doing 70,000 Steam Players A Night, Four Years Later

    Jump

  • It’s wild, I don’t remember the Witcher 3 being anywhere near this bad. I had my own issues in that game regarding the combat and some bs moments that made me reload and lose an hour because I was dumb and didn’t quick save, but cyberpunk doesn’t even feel like a cdpr game. Which is good in some ways I guess that they were able to break their own mold.

    Idk, there’s just a bunch of little issues still. But if this is what it’s like 4 years later I can’t even imagine what it was like at launch.

  • ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Is Doing 70,000 Steam Players A Night, Four Years Later

    Jump

  • I picked up cyberpunk last summer (finally) and while it’s visually stunning and fairly immersive, I had some game breaking bugs where I had to reload several hours beforehand and redo certain missions until they triggered properly. Not once, but several times. And I didn’t even mod anything.

    I think my favorite was fast traveling with Claire, ending up in the sky and falling out of the truck. Reloaded, did the mission again only to splatter myself and die because I got shot out of the truck. Third time she wouldn’t stop driving around the block. I let it go for a good half hour just to see if it would end but it never did. Eventually the AI just kept driving into the wall of a building. Reloaded….again.

    There were a lot of others but that took me all afternoon just to finish that one race. I had probably a dozen similar issues throughout my playthrough and it really tanked my enthusiasm for the game. I’ll finish it eventually.

  • Finally, The Witcher 3 with the fat cut out: They're releasing a physical Gwent board game for true connoisseurs

    Jump

  • They did give out actual Gwent decks when you preordered the expansions. Idk who made them, Warner Bros I think, but they’re pretty good.

  • The trilogy with Bale certainly made that clear haha.

  • YSK: Green man gaming, a site which lets you purchase games directly from the developers, often at discount

  • I’ve used them for a while too. Sometimes they’ll have weird keys super cheap. Like I was able to grab Dark Souls 3 + both DLC’s for like $16 or something way back when.

  • I can’t quite remember all the details, but since my friend was still living with his parents he had to pay for the “catastrophic” insurance since he was over 26 and didn’t work with a company that offered anything. He might have been unemployed at that point. I think it was only $75/mo or so but I wonder if he just filled out the form wrong.
