The INITIAL bond. He still has to eventually pay the whole thing.

That's pretty damn neat to see it cross-formatted here!

Gyro on the LEFT stick is interesting. I usually have mine always on, but I guess with the track pad and everything you don't need to reach for the d-pad?

This company sucks. It's like they throw so many ideas and things at a wall and then never foster or care for any of it. And then they take away the wall so anything that relied on it gets fucked when the app isn't available or works correctly anymore. And this is CONSTANT!

They deserve each and every loss. Pretty sure the only new developments sticking around are the Google Pixel phones. Who knows, maybe they'll delete features for the old ones in the future too. Or remove support for their phones entirely and randomly leave.

Sounds like a case where they'll shut down the entire location and move across the street.

Thankfully, Biden recently gave the IRS some teeth to go after millionaires who rely on tax dodging. So there's hope as long as a criminal isn't put in charge to de-teeth the government again.

If it's shaders, you could potentially turn off downloading shaders in desktop mode. I don't actually know if things are a Stutter mess anymore after many changes in 3.5 if you do that. (That async stuff)

"Consumers demand more and better graphics" Nah, we want optimization now thanks to the Deck. Games like Armored Core VI that are able to downscale fo. The Deck is REALLY nice while games like Remnant 2, which is an absolutely wonderful game, is completely unoptimized and only now can run on the deck ok after a big update for "Potato mode" graphics.

And yet some of the best AAA games of the past that can look better run at 60fps.

If anything, developers have gotten out of control with specs required to run their games. Jedi: Survivor is just ridiculous and more games seem to follow suit. Nintendo is obsessed with optimizing for lower end hardware, but imagine if they made a game squeezing out each and every ounce of what a game can be nowadays on newer hardware. We'd see some seriously amazing new optimization techniques as well as showing off the buffoonery that is the current specs situation. Hell, they already did it with Tears of the Kingdom anyways.

There's an important moment where you have to ask yourself...

"Is this story so bad I'm not invested in it anymore?"

"Is the gameplay bothering me so much that it feels bad or unfun to me?"

If the answer is yes to both of those, you may feel free to drop the game with full confidence you're not gonna play it again.

They Cloned Tyrone is DAMN GOOD once you get past the language and settle in.

Honestly in the indie area, it's not recent, but Blade Kitten. Spotted that on Steam and remembered having fun with it on my Xbox 360 long ago. Real cheap at 3$.

But I need to finish more indie games First! So it will be a reward once I finish Protodroid Delta. Which would've been a lot easier if it had cloud support so I could play it on my Steam Deck without restarting the game, but nooo

As someone who recently got hit by a silver Honda in the middle of heavy rain. Look left as many fucking times as you can because there might be an invisible car without headlights on in the rain.
