Will always support a game developer and their publisher that is DRM free from the onset. I’ve just purchased this on GOG, thanks!

Epic are the exclusive publishers of Alan Wake 2, they also funded the development of the game. I wouldn’t expect it on Steam until Epic themselves decide they aren’t allergic to money.

I would be lying if I said that the price was not disappointing. The price to perf for 1080p performance just isn’t really attractive. That said, I think they tried their utmost best given the circumstances. Good for anyone who doesn’t already own a pc or steam deck.

So the sales alone weren’t indication enough? I think it’s quite clear there’s demand for more.

You realise that using AUR (which is what is affected here) is totally independent of using Arch itself right? The main repos are not affected.

I definitely remember when it first came out and having the thought to myself “damn I hope me buying this motivates them to make more Spyro games for us all”. Go us! the true OG fans!!

The Arch Linux AUR had over 400 packages compromised with malware
Looks like the Arch Linux AUR (Arch User Repository) needs some better security and package checks - as some malicious users compromised a lot of packages.

Arch is still wonderful. But unfortunately you can’t help the singular brain cells who don’t read their pkgbuilds they blindly use 🤷‍♂️

Looks fantastic and can’t wait to play! Also for the additional reference in the headline, I’d honestly be happy to never hear of that grifters game name in any headline ever again.

I’ll be advocating for all my friends buy a Steam Machine (when it’s out) now more than ever. At least then they’ll have a great device to hook up to the tv, access to their existing Steam library and not be locked into an awful ecosystem paying for online access and games every new generation.

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

Whether you loved, hated, or didn’t even watch the critically acclaimed, widely viewed Netflix series #Boots, the show’s abrupt cancellation should concern everyone. @netflix.com caved to backlash from the pentagon/US Govt. Our house adored Norman Lear’s final work. 🫡🏳️‍🌈 collider.com/the-fate-of-...

Charlie Cox won himself a Game Awards nomination for his work voicing Gustave in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. However he says as much of the credit needs to go to Gustave's motion performance actor, Maxence Cazorla. bit.ly/49IfeEx

I’m genuinely more surprised this came from Sky News, which is a heavily right biased outlet, at least in Australia

Two app icons, one showing jira and the other bluesky. Both have a very similar shade of blue

If it makes sense within the world and it’s not immersion breaking then it doesn’t bother me, and I know it helps others who are visually impaired or have a hard time navigating, an overall positive for a lot of people.

Your reminder that if you see a game you really want to play, & that game is game 6 in a series you haven't played... play the game. Folk shouldn't pressure you into playing 300 hours in your busy life just so you can play the 60 hours game that caught your eye. If you love it enough you can go back

Interesting that they even thought of us to begin when all Aussie ESO players have to suffer on 600ms ping US servers because they don’t even have an oceanic server lol

I wish their social media team would be more upfront about it being limited to US for now in their communications. Just read another article about it and spent way too long trying to figure out where it was in the App Store or if it was TestFlight only 😕

What a load of shit, as if EA wouldn’t jump at a chance to nickel and dime their customers. They’re just risk adverse knowing that competing products are on the horizon like inZOI and Paralives.

Brilliant idea! You’ve inspired me on an idea for a one pot meal! Pulled CEO (slow cooked ofc), with some middle management vegetables and I’m thinking VC investors as maybe a liquid stock. Sounds good yeah?

Also would you recommend any good first reads into Slavic folklore literature? I’m partial to fiction but happy for non fiction as well!

I enjoy Slavic folklore in TV shows, but haven’t read any literature featuring it. Does Ukraine have its own distinctive folklore traditions, or does it primarily share in broader Slavic folklore with regional variations?

Imagine going up to someone who has just bought, and is enjoying, a burger and telling them they are eating it wrong. Now replace burger with game and eating with playing and you can see how daft that is! People 👏 Can 👏 Play 👏 A 👏Game 👏 However 👏 They 👏Want. It isn’t a hard concept to grasp!

That said, it used to be the case that Australians per capita had a higher amount of expendable income compared to other countries and our standard of living was high. But the world has changed since then, and the cost of living is hurting us all. The market has not caught up.

Multiple things really. Import duties, market size and demand, retailer markups, and the good old 'Australia tax' which is a trend as old as time where international companies charge aussies higher prices because they can. It's pretty rough.
