This is also drawing questions for what will happen to the Risk of Rain IP. Hopefully it goes back to Hopoo.

Ah shit, my reading literacy is terrible. Sorry about that.

Didn’t they try doing this like 5 years ago? Lol

It depends on your system, but there’s a desktop and mobile app as well as an unofficial app for Linux.

That’s not the point I was making in the post. I was just showing what was happening with it. I’ve also been a paid subscriber to it on and off; my gripe with it is that it already takes about 5 to 10 minutes to queue into the service (Priority queue for paying ofc), but with this new system it will only start to add you to the queue after you watch the pre-rolls. If it played them while you were stuck in queue, that’d be no big issue to me.

I only went to GfN because Stadia shut down; I think Stadia did it the best way that you probably could tbh.

I’ve been playing Black Ops III again lately for a hit of nostalgia.

Just for reference, it was Hitman 3. This was when it was exclusive to EGS

Honestly, I’m fairly certain of the 90 or so games I have on EGS, I’ve only paid for one lol

… That’s not the point here. The point is that they decided that if they launched the in-game shop at the same time as the game’s initial release that they would get a bunch of bad reviews. This is worrying mainly for the fact that if they had this train of thought, that means that it must be super predatory.

It’s a Linux command. It means Remove (rm) from the root folder (rf) everything, and don’t warn me about this action (/*)

Mine’s the “Can only remember work-related and hyperfixations” variant of it :/

Finally, an excuse to use the Wayback Machine for all of my searches!

Rock and Stone! Yeah!

Not especially.

A few years back, in November 2020, Bungie decided to vault all of the DLC before their most recent at the time (Shadowkeep); this was to both keep the game fresh and without cheesy weapons and whatnot, as well as to keep the game size lower. The thing is, those campaigns and raids that they vaulted? Those were the only Free-to-play aspects aside from the basic game modes at the time.

What I’m getting at here though is that because they got rid of those experiences, a lot of the story elements that were previously established with those campaigns were gone. Now the only way to experience them is to: a) Look at the in-game Timeline b) read the lore books in their tab, or c) watch YouTube for a good 2 hours at least to figure out what the hell the Fallen are, why the Witness is our Big Bad, and why Taniks always comes back.

To be fair, most of Forbes’ writers (especially for games journalism) are Freelance.

You also realize that a game that you play is inherent resale value all its own, yes?

Actually, it’s more like sudo rm -rf /*, since that bypasses the warning.

I’ve been using Emby now and it’s just better, plus Jellyfin uses some of Emby’s databases (as per a few crashlogs I’ve seen)

So, obviously this is a very bad thing to happen to Plex; however there is a secret/locked library functionality iirc from using it before.
