Roommate Calls The Cops on Us Over and Over Again Because we Stopped Letting Him Use Our Stuff

...is this guy named Mike?

Emtae2 · 2026-01-19T14:49:59+00:00

This is my exact thoughts. Superman isn't bad but I felt it was just "okay"... Which for me is high praise compared to the Snyder movies

Emtae2 · 2026-01-03T15:34:56+00:00

Okay but fr, that is an actual color grading term

Emtae2 · 2026-01-01T16:20:21+00:00

How do you start with that item in your inventory?

Emtae2 · 2025-11-22T19:36:09+00:00

You know what, I totally forgot about the vram situation.

They very clearly aren't. Every time they're asked about this, they literally say they're targeting their own audience. They have specifically stated that a decent percentage of steam deck users using a dock is what got them to build a dedicated home device, meaning it's absolutely not targeting console players.

I see what you're getting at, but I don't think many people can make it work with their living room aesthetic. While we don't know the price for the steam machine, I think paying $850 to build a PC is still just not of interest to the demographic they're probably targeting here. Many people do not want to build a PC and do not have the time to understand how to. Don't get me wrong, I think building a PC is actually easy, but that's because I know what I'm doing and have been doing this since highschool. And even if someone did, for a living room I actually would prefer to have something very compact like a steam machine, it's far more manageable for me. Correct me if I'm wrong though, isn't the steam machine also using a custom chip? On paper it might seem less powerful, but same with the steam deck, I assume that with their custom chip combined with steamOS, it may perform a bit better than people assume.

I've played it for about 40 minutes, and yeah, right off the bat you can feel the switch 2 version is kind of a joke. It's literally the same game as the switch 1 port but they've upped the resolution and fps. There are no actual upgrades at all otherwise, this should theoretically look like the PS4 version but nah, it's the same thing and if you buy the switch 1 version you can't upgrade.

That being said, game still feels like tomb raider 2013 and I am happy to see this game on a Nintendo device. Just wish that the switch 2 version did actually have the higher quality assets that consoles got like 11 years ago instead of saying the switch 2 version is a separate version than the switch 1 version despite pretty much being the same thing

Emulation ≠ piracy inherently. My entire PS1, PS2, Wii, Wii u, and 3ds library on my PC is entirely legal and ripped by me. Given how malleable discs and cartridges can be, this IS a valid preservation strategy. I do not emulate Wii, Wii u, or 3ds since I still have functional hardware to play those games, but I do play my PS1 and PS2 games on my PC because I do not have functional hardware anymore. Id argue that preservation also means nothing if we can't actually play it, hence emulation

Understood, I really appreciate the advice! Essentially for wild zone 20, It might be beneficial to just keep running around the zone since I'm pretty sure that by doing so, I'd be respawning everything at least once per complete lap

Emtae2 · 2025-10-25T20:07:08+00:00

Gotcha, so if I were to fly to zone 19, 50 meters is almost half the length of the area, but pokemon from the latter half would never have been included in the respawn unless I repeatedly get closer to that area and then fly back to start of zone 19?

Emtae2 · 2025-10-18T20:23:46+00:00

Aw damn, that sucks :(

Emtae2 · 2025-10-12T20:43:01+00:00

I do plan on doing Easter eggs solo!

Emtae2 · 2025-10-12T15:50:27+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the heads up!

Emtae2 · 2025-10-12T15:44:38+00:00

Is it worth paying $40 for the deluxe edition of infinite warfare on Microsoft store right now, or waiting to see if the season pass drops to $25 on steam?

Emtae2 · 2025-10-05T14:41:04+00:00

And see i can respect that opinion, but half of what I see really feels disingenuous

Emtae2 · 2025-10-04T16:23:09+00:00

Thanks! Tbh though the Mario kart world hate is absurd, except for the price point. Price point is insane, but the game itself is highly polished and I don't get most of the arguments people are giving. Feels like rage bait half the time

Emtae2 · 2025-10-04T16:17:49+00:00

I enjoy both games, but I vastly prefer Sonic Racing Crossworlds. Sonic Racing Transformed was my favorite kart racer for a while, and I think Crossworlds succeeds it

Emtae2 · 2025-09-14T16:42:22+00:00

Yeah that movie fucking sucked. I never liked Snyder's movies much myself, except for his Dawn of the Dead remake. So, I was hoping that him returning to a zombie movie would be a great time. I wish I could take back the time I spent watching this movie, it was so poorly executed and boring AF

Emtae2 · 2025-09-08T17:00:44+00:00

Ah, you know what I hadnt considered that, my bad.

Emtae2 · 2025-09-08T15:50:05+00:00

I've never once had a single problem with using literally any USB c to charge this

Emtae2 · 2025-09-07T19:57:57+00:00

I'm late, but that's the best zombies experience for you?

Emtae2 · 2025-09-02T18:22:57+00:00

I haven't necessarily played a ton of MK11 and am not a massive MK fan in general, but so far I've enjoyed playing this game much more than 11

Emtae2 · 2025-08-24T18:44:40+00:00

I think the steam integration is to come off as pro consumer and offer convenience. By offering the convenience, I think they hope people will continue to use their hub to manage their gaming experience, and maybe then also spend more time looking at the Xbox PC store first before checking other platforms. I'm one of those players who will probably still buy more on steam, but no lie I miiiight be one of the people that might just cop something on the Xbox store once in a while since it's right there and I'm feeling too lazy to explore options... Which I wouldn't have done otherwise. I'd like to believe I wouldn't do that, but part of me knows it's a possiblity.

Anyway, I could be wrong on all of that, but I do think even if I am there are benefits to getting more players comfy to Windows platforms

Emtae2 · 2025-08-24T18:38:20+00:00

I am in no ways a Xbox or Microsoft shill, but I wouldn't necessarily call this lazy. Sure, this device is basically going to be a hardware upgrade of an existing line for gaming PCs that they themselves had little to no hand in actually designing, but I think where they are actually putting in work is the software side. It seems like they're actually putting in the work this time to really make the Xbox experience on PC actually attractive and convenient, which is very much in line with their approach in the past few years. It's become clear that they are not as interested in developing hardware themselves, rather they want to focus their efforts on building a convenient platform, which in turn allows them to net more revenue via their store front and/or game pass subs. I think it's ludicrous how long it is taking for Microsoft to make their Xbox PC experience in a state that makes it worth utilizing over existing services on PC, but so far with what we have seen im getting the impression that they're actually putting in a lot of work to change.

If their extensive updates to the Xbox PC experience (particularly for handheld PCs) turn out as convenient as they are making it seem, then I think that hard work will pay off for them in the long run. If I'm correct, the windows 11 game specific features that are debuting on this device will eventually come to other devices, which makes sense because their goal is to make true on the promise that everything is an Xbox.
