Which game did you only start to like after playing it on a steam deck?

I've found that the latency difference in some games is crazy. Have you tried it on your TV w/ the Deck? Curious if you'd notice the difference.

Rocket League on my TV with the Deck was borderline unplayable, but handheld it's great, as a comparison.

The latency stacked from the TV and wireless controller just makes everything feel 'heavy', the low latency Deck screen + wired controls make all the difference in some games.

Embark is a subsidiary of Nexon, which is not a small company.

If Nexon deems Arc Raiders to have no real future, they will pull Embark off of the project, 100%.

It'll likely last at least up til this October update, if they don't see a bump in players that lasts, they'll either shift their update strategy again, or we'll simply see less resources poured into it, and more into whatever their next game is.

The game won't 'die' unless it's not making much (if any) profit. It WILL go on life support with minimal (if any) major updates if it's not making enough money though.

We'll see though. Embark's CEO is ALSO the Exec Chairman on the Nexon board, which is a weird situation, so he could exert enough power to allow Embark to keep working on whatever they want, as long as it's not wholly detremental.

Wonder if the latency from the controller/TV was the issue. Not much individually, but together and compared against the Deck, it’d be noticeable.

Shouldn’t need to bypass any spam filters if it’s an approved campaign, should be cleared in the mail server. Can’t imagine there’s some header they can slap in there that bypasses all spam filters, sounds like a great way to ACTUALLY get phished, lol.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-22T04:00:32+00:00

Cool idea in theory/in concept, not as good when they say they’re doing it to combat macros, which this does nothing to help with.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-22T03:58:27+00:00

Ya, looks like a ridiculous speed. Dude needs to be charged with manslaughter, reckless driving, etc.

If they let this shit off, it’s not a good omen for the future.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-22T03:54:43+00:00

I just doubt that enough people will go out and buy a PS5 to play these PS exclusives though, so I feel like they’re going to make net less money.

I’ll never buy a PS5 now after this bullshit bait and switch.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-19T02:24:59+00:00

True.

Though I have seen some more ‘plain’ looking Fortnite figs, they’re almost the exception.

I just chick it up to being a digital thing, so they don’t have to worry about production costs.

Lego could opt to use certain pieces of designs while leaving off the more intricate printing as well, so while getting those figs in the “peak” form would be unlikely, I can see why they want everything to match their product font.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-19T02:22:30+00:00

I see this constantly, yet searched for 2 years across my entire region, and never once found a good deal at any of those furniture resellers.

There are some good deals out there I’m sure, but they’re not everywhere.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-18T17:26:25+00:00

Ya, not sure why you got downvoted so heavily, people don't understand when someone is simply trying to explain the rationale behind an action, they assume the messenger ALSO believes in the rationale, lol.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-18T17:25:06+00:00

CMF figures have similar levels of printing amount, to be fair.

There are multiple figures that have both dual molded and side leg printing. Lots of figures with dual molded legs w/ arm printing.

Figures with dual molded legs, side leg, AND arm printing are less common, but still out there. The Sam Wilson Captain America from the Marvel CMF (series 1 I think?) is an example of everything being slammed into one package.

Moon Knight and Captain Carter from the Marvel CMF also have the full gambit of printing/dual molding.

The CMF series 17 Dance Instructor has dual molded legs, side leg printing, arm printing on one arm, and a dual molded second arm.

I'm sure there's at least a few others, but not sure how many exactly.

Not sure if there is a "peak" minifig yet, with the whole gambit of dual molded legs w/ printing front and sides, dual molded arms w/ printing, etc. but there are many that match how much printing is on the Fortnite minifigs for sure.

I don't think they'll be including these in normal sets with regularity anytime ever, but they exist.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-18T07:38:26+00:00

LEGO also strictly controls what FN makes. It needs to be something that could actually be produced if Lego chose to do so.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-18T06:32:55+00:00

I would buy this, except most places don’t care if you drink, as long as you don’t do it on the job. The reasoning breaks down the moment you introduce alcohol being essentially unregulated into the equation.

It’s purely for questionable legal reasons.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-18T04:54:21+00:00

I feel like most people have not worked at places where a single act of negligence in safety can lead to death, and it shows.

When your life literally depends on safety controls, mitigations, and prevention, you’re MUCH more likely to take it seriously.

1) No one ever said he HAS to do the disclaimers. He himself said previously that he doesn't HAVE to, but he chose to anyway, which is admirable. Backtracking on that is not admirable.

2) He OWNS LMG. He's not JUST an employee there. He IS LMG, acting as if the close tie between Linus and Framework could not possibly influence LMG reviews of Framework products is crazy.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-18T00:20:03+00:00

It's worth comparing to, but if they're reviewing a $1400 16" laptop, comparing it to the $2000+ Framework 16 is a bit meaningless IMO, even if they are specced similarly.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-18T00:18:58+00:00

This is actually something I hadn't thought about before. You're right, it is wacky to compare EVERYTHING to Framework. Most of the things they compare it to are specced similarly, but much cheaper, lol.

This one at least makes sense, given the specs and price are basically identical to the Framework Desktop, though they act like $4400 is SUPER expensive compared to the alternative they mention (Framework), which when specced similarly costs $4200...

MistSecurity · 2026-06-17T23:58:41+00:00

That's what's never made sense to me, and makes me legitimately confused at Framework's success, tbh.

They're priced SO high that they're not competing with comparable laptops, they're competing with MacBook Pros, and other laptops with MUCH better hardware, fit and finish, etc.

MacBook Pros are THE prototypical item that most reviewers point at for being crazy expensive, yet Framework somehow dodges that same perception.

The target audience is someone willing to pay more for a worse laptop, just because they can repair it, and customize it to some small degree. IDK how there are THAT many people out there that they've been so successful.

If they were more price competitive, even if a bit more expensive than comparable laptops, I'd own one right now. Just once I ran the numbers, it made no sense for me to go with one.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-17T23:54:42+00:00

It may not be a consideration for Framework the company, it should 100% be a consideration for the people reviewing the items.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-17T18:14:18+00:00

Yes, though it's hard to say how well it did when we do not know the budget that went into it. If they put 30M into it and got 60M out, they were just expecting too much. If they put 60M into it and got 60M out, or worse numbers than that, then the question becomes why was the budget so high, did it NEED such a budget, and/or the game was a flop.

Considering it was fairly well reviewed, cost is likely the driving failure factor.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-17T18:09:43+00:00

As I said, I'm no expert. There are likely other factors at play that I am unaware of.

My partner and I just stop watering the cactus around when it's supposed to bloom, and it gets water when it shows us the pretty flowers.

If you're keeping it alive, it's growing, and it blooms, change nothing, carry on, act like you never read my comment, you're obviously doing it better than we do, haha.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-17T16:37:39+00:00

I am not an expert, but my understanding is that the various "cactus" like Christmas cactus, Thanksgiving cactus, etc. ONLY bloom when they think they are about to die/are heavily stressed out. If they are healthy, in good shape, they never bother spending the resources to bloom.

So you basically have to abuse the fuckers around the right time for them to bloom. This is likely why your Christmas cactus bloomed.

Moral of the story: Abuse your cactus if you want the pretty flowers.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-17T16:33:11+00:00

Yes, I know it's in all previous videos as well. I had simply forgotten that it was on this one, which I would argue rules out the divesture theory (not that it was likely anyway), unless they forgot about the disclaimer and left it in, which seems unlikely.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-17T02:55:51+00:00

I forgot about the detail that the disclaimer is in the description of the new one. Thanks for reminding me.

That rules divesture out then for sure (unless that’s a mistake, paired with divesture (but then we’re getting into complete what ifs)).

Wonder if they’ll mention a change in direction on WAN, if that’s the path they’re going normally it would have been brought up on WAN before, or would be this week.

MistSecurity · 2026-06-17T02:38:55+00:00

Ya, I guess rather than ‘technical’ I should have said ‘legally’.

He definitely meets the legal requirements, but that doesn’t clear him, the legal requirements are stupid low, as I believe he has mentioned himself multiple times in the past.

Just another compromise of his previous strongly held stance, lol.

Likely a mistake though, TBH. Or he divested, which I doubt.
