My imediate first though was how incredibly autistic this behavior is and fits perfectly with the rest of his persona.

So you've learned today that you can just say someone's name as an equivalent to an exasperated "bro.. "

In theory it makes sense but in the past buying digitally as opposed to physically hasn't netted anyone any savings. And with the new system where the card doesn't even hold the actual game, it's an even worse offering.

Good news! Hopefully the EU will have its energy independence sorted enough to stop importing from Russia as soon as possible.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I'm a big fan of Valve's efforts, it's just that they are the only ones right now and I'm wondering how long until they too fall like the rest of the industry.

I was thinking of developments in the industry as a whole. Valve themselves have been the only beacon of hope, but for how long.

You'll love German speakers then. In my experience they love bonus content thoughs as well as math equations in their thoughts like "=" for reframing a thought or "=>" for concluding a thought.

Unfortunately, we're cyberpunk futuristic instead of whatever futuristic flavor the Jetsons were doing.

I have bought games on steam that I already owned and played on other platforms, just because I wanted to support the dev and have a copy on a reliable platform. But with recent developements I do wonder more and more how long it will stay reliable.

True, what you described is basically all there is to it, but in my opinion the corrupted versions where the SM is doing backlog management or where the rest of the company structure doesn't change just the dev team are more damaging than the more codified versions of it.

Sure, part of the job of the SM is to teach a PO that they need to research the market, but bridging the gap sounds like your saying the SM should find these things out for themselves and that's just not true. The SM by definition is less technically minded that the PO. They deal with processes, data and people, not with product specs and market research.

Any side effects from this depo shot?

 

Like for many other people, Valve single player experiences were one of my favorite of all time growing up. I considered both Half-Life and Portal to be masterpieces. It's true they've always been distracted with multiplayer games as well, things like Counter-Strike or Team Fortress and I did play them for sure, because I was a kid and I had all the time in the world.

These days I'm not a kid anymore and so when I game I tend to look more for memorable experiences instead of mindless grinding. Obviously I remember Valve as the experts in creating memorable experiences and I would like them to keep fully exploring those talents. They don't have that many employees, but they do have all the money in the world, no external pressure, no publisher to shit on them, it's just their developers and artists and a vision. But then they use all that and create this. An Overwatch looking moba shooter, really? I'm sure people will like and play it, but is this the results of the vision and ambition of a company like Valve?

It doesn't have to be Half-Life. I remember them saying that they dont want to do another one in the series because they are looking to innovate and make something truly original. My body is ready, give me anything. I can't imagine a moba shooter really fits with this description. I'm wondering how such a low hanging concept even becomes a real product at a company as ambitious as Valve.

I hear people are having fun with the new game and I'm happy for them. I am no longer the target audience and I wish them good luck with it. In the mean time let me hear your thoughts on it. Would you like to see another single player experience from Valve?

 

No worry about quality when you only get one topic to enjoy for the day.

 

I've been using sync for a while and occasionally I go looking in the settings for the feature to hide read posts automatically, instead of having to do it manually. Other Lemmy clients have this so I was convinced sync should probably have it as well, I just can't find it. Does this exist? If not, is it something that could be added? Thanks!
