Maybe they’ll get there eventually.

Unless they rework half the game’s mechanics from the ground up, I doubt it.

This isn’t the first 3D game they made though. They made Solar Ash before this, and it’s honestly quite underrated.

Try removing all of them one-by-one and ignore the ones that are trying to remove plasma.

That entire sentence sounds like a title of a visual novel

Not to mention Lipton Ice Tea is rubbish. You can make your own for 1/10th of the price, and it’ll taste 10x better.

If we’re counting 100%ing, then yeah, Godhome can suck it. Path of pain alone was pushing me to the edge.

The same devs went on to make Vintage Story and finding copper there can also be a real pain. It’s kind of wild to hear their Minecraft mod having the same issue.

I actually had a similar experience with Hollow Knight where I had to stop playing for a while and when I picked it back up I forgot where I was and where I’m going, so I had to start all over. It was really worth it imo, because the end sections of the game are insanely cool. But I can understand not wanting to repeat ~10-20 hours again.

Not surprising considering there’s little to no competition in that price range. Pretty much every not-bad PC headset is $1000+, and heavy hitters like Valve Index haven’t had a hardware refresh in years.

Whew, I was getting worried we were one day into 2024 and nobody said this yet.

As for price and features I think it will be comparable in price to the PS5 and Series X so around the £450 point.

I doubt it actually. One of the key selling points of the Switch is the console being cheaper than competition, the Switch going for $300 and Switch Lite going for $200. I think it’ll stay the same price or at most be $350 with a general hardware upgrade.

Also betting on a new 3D mario game being the launch title. I would be surprised if there also isn’t DLC or an enhanced edition of Tears of the Kingdom also there.

From Xbox’s side we’ll hear more about their new 1st party titles from all those studios they acquired but I don’t expect many of them to release this year. Their one popular title will probably be Avowed, which I’m expecting to be basically Skyrim 1.5, janky combat included.

Other random predictions:

• Final Fantasy 16 comes to PC (as an Epic exclusive as usual)

• Hollow Knight Silksong releases late 2024

• Elden Ring DLC releases within a few months and is a banger

• Windows game emulation on Android phones and ARM laptops will actually get really good

• Valheim will still only release 1-2 major updates within the year

• Many studios will attempt gimmicky AI-enhanced video games then give up when people quickly get over it

• Netflix will combine or collaborate with Xbox Game Pass in some way

• Lots of larger sized indie games will release on the Godot Engine instead of Unity.

Yes we are, but it took a minute or two to be able to see the post.

Lol what?

I’m really going to miss his videos, but I’m glad he’s ending it on a happy note rather than dragging things on when he doesn’t want to. Godspeed, Tom.

The PlayStation 3 baby commercial was also something else. Playstation has had some real weird marketing moments.

Offtopic but I’m gonna try out monster hunter world to try to scratch the beeg monsta and beeg sord itch.

It has rolling so it’s technically a souls-like. Godspeed.

It’s similar to batocera in that it’s a minimalist UI front-end for emulators, but it’s a bit more modern and simpler to use. It can be used as an application (probably the recommended way), or installed as an operating system if you’re using something weak like a Raspberry Pi.

Shoutout to my one friend that had no idea you were supposed to run from Asylum Demon and actually did beat it with the broken short sword

Not at all, I don’t think anyone has ever gotten banned for using alternate launchers on Linux. I’ve been using Heroic for ~2 years now with no issues.

The only time you can get banned is if you try playing a multiplayer game that has anti-cheat that doesn’t support Linux. Just make sure when playing a multiplayer game that Linux is supported.

I’m not going to say using a different distro will fix all your problems but yeah, your experience is not normal. A lot of this is because Ubuntu is not highly recommended. It’s just popular, but there are a bunch of terrible decisions it makes that barely anybody recommends it.

Of course Ubuntu just threw out the old installer for debian files, and didn’t replace it yet. Wouldn’t want a user to just be able to easily install files!

Checks out. Ubuntu is also one of the only modern distros that doesn’t come with Flatpak, which is a massive store of applications that’s quite easy to use and has a huge store of applications.

May I recommend something like PopOS instead? It’s based on Ubuntu so everything from there will work on it, including .deb files. It’s basically Ubuntu but with way, WAY saner defaults and a better beginner experience. I think your experience will be a lot better on a nicer distro.
