Did the shop add a significant markup here or is this some non-USD currency? Otherwise that price is $30 more than even MSRP. Right now I could buy it for 50€ here, which is still probably too much but significantly less egregious.

Might be a bit of both. Any pre-Ryzen CPU is very long in the tooth now and one from 2010 really isn’t going to cut it for almost any modern game. But I’ve also read of many people having Linux-specific issues in CS2.
I’ve played Ultros recently and thought it was really cool and unique.


According to the overview trailer you’ll meet federation troopers “occassionally”. I’m pretty sure Miles will only be around during the early game, but there will be other NPCs later on. Does sound like you’ll be alone most of the time though. I’m not a fan of what I’ve seen of Miles at all, but I do enough have faith in retro studios to be sure that they won’t give us a quippy sidekick for the entire game.


Society expects men to be “tough” and not show too many emotions. So men are less likely to have someone they can emotionally lean on and with whom they can talk about their feelings, even if they have many friends. Obviously it doesn’t mean that women can’t feel lonely. You wouldn’t go into a discussion about femicides and be like “Don’t men get murdered too? Wtf?”, right?


Huh, didn’t expect that to ever be a thing. I never played the original GW campaign, only Factions and Nightfall, so I guess this will be a good opportunity for me to finally play it.


Degrading in terms of physical capabilities? Mental capacity? Hearing? I think you’ll need to be a bit more specific here if you want any useful replies.


I was interested in this game but a 70€ GKC is a nope for me. Even if it were a proper physical release, that price seems way too high for the kind of game it is.


“Bad” is relative, but it does reduce the long-term lifespan of your battery. Ideally you should charge to 80%, but if you actually need the 100%, I wouldn’t worry about it either.


Wish they’d give us the on-console activity log back instead of putting everything into apps.


It’s also a big risk, as they could always enshittify. It’s a good platform now, but if Gabe dies or decides to give up his leadership position, that could all change very quickly.


Technically, I’d say that GOG does, as you can just download and back up all the installers for the games. Wouldn’t even matter if the company went bankrupt or even if the entire internet died completely. You could still install and play the games just fine.


It’s too big when the developers are unable to fill it with enough interesting things to do and discover to keep my attention. But there’s no absolute size I’d automatically consider too big, as it also depends on things like traversal. If you ride through the map on a mech going 400km/h, it can be much larger and more spread out than if I have to traverse the entire map on foot.
I find myself becoming less and less interested in staying in the industry I’m currently working in for the rest of my life. Problem is, I don’t have any other qualifications. So I guess it could start working on acquiring new ones while I’m still young enough to do so, but I’d need both a clear idea on what other career I want to pursue and the motivation to leave my currently pretty comfortable position in life. I have neither.


I’ve only gotten like 1.5 hours in so I can’t really say yet, but so far it feels similar to the first one with some improvements to stuff like gunplay.


It’s the main menu. Pretty fun idea, but from what I’ve played of the actual game so far, it isn’t nearly as creative or meta unfortunately.


It’s The Outer Worlds 2.


It plays games


This is a massive free content update for a 5 year old game and a $5 update for Switch 2 owners who want higher resolutions and more online features. No reason to try and find something to complain about just because it’s Nintendo.
You’re right, good catch. Canadian dollars makes sense.
