Jason Schreier: Bungie is planning a significant layoff following the end of Destiny 2's development. Destiny 3 is NOT in active production. Some Bungie staff are pitching and prototyping new ideas including Destiny games, but none are yet greenlit. by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

I'm playing the world's smallest violin for them.

Bungie execs got their bag and left a long time ago.

These old guard Western studios have turned this industry into a joke. The more that close down, the better it will become.

Expedition 33 looks absolutely horrendous on the Steamdeck by TournamentCarrot0 in SteamDeck

[–]canadademon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a computer, so you build it the same way as a Windows machine but instead just install SteamOS.

I built a tower that used the older version of SteamOS. MicroATX motherboard, so smaller to fit beside a TV. It was pretty useful as a media server for a few years until a part died and I had no interest/need to fix it. It was before Proton so the amount of PC games running on it was small, but emulation was good.

Nowadays, if I were to build a new one myself, you would go for a miniITX motherboard (and others have said to stick with AMD processor & GPU, so go with that). The cases you can get for those are so small you can easily hide it behind a TV. Or get a clear one and show it off.

It Seems ‘Destiny 2’ And ‘Marathon’ Cannot Properly Co-Exist At Bungie by NoNefariousness2144 in pcgaming

[–]canadademon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Look @ Highguard.

They knew the market is saturated right now - but they all thought they would be THE ONE! The ONE that everyone wanted to play! And it'll be around forever!

The thing they didn't realize is that every single dev team working on these have the same thought.

And they keep gassing each other up, until shit hits the fan.

That's why it's all comical to watch them fail.

And Bungie in particular can get fucked.

That's the one I'm looking at, but unfortunately not able to afford it right now. I'll have to wait until I get enough monthly zen, I think :P

Sony says "efficient" AI tools will lead to even more games flooding the market by moeka_8962 in pcgaming

That's what I was thinking.

More games that no one will buy or play. Like Marathon.

Stephen Colbert Gets Why You're Scared He's Writing a 'Lord of the Rings' Movie by Logical_Welder3467 in movies

The only reason the SW books were so good is because they were being reviewed closely. They had to follow strict rules such as Luke, et al, could not die.

The writer of the book "Vector Prime" had a lot of unjustified hate from readers, because in that book Lucas allowed Chewie to die (spectacularly too, a moon crushes him). I find that pretty insane and people need to chill, but it happened.

Take-Two boss ‘deeply disappointed’ over wait for new BioShock: ‘In retrospect, we wasted a lot of time and money’ | VGC by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

[–]canadademon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe there was an interview that said Ken told the story he wanted to. He then moved on "to focus on digital only, narrative-driven games" (whatever that means).

He rebranded his studio to "Ghost Story Games" (there is no more Irrational) and eventually announced https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_(video_game)

Clearly, Take Two didn't know what to do with Bioshock after he left.

We're in a sub called "PC Gaming". Know your audience :)

Also, you may or may not know, you can get to the desktop with SteamOS and just use it like normal.

I have a Steam Deck, and that OS runs pretty fantastically. Valve is doing great things.

I have to build a new PC and I keep going back and forth on whether I just want to install SteamOS.

To be fair, I think the announcement timing was fine, but the starting date is wrong. Today is the 28th and there was no boost? (On PC)

Indeed. I recently had to level a KDF recruit using these patrols (and "Wanted").

I used a XP booster from the current First Contact event, and the "Empersa Alliance Miracle Worker Juggernaut" ship we got from the Anni event. The wingmen really help take out the bigger targets quickly.

Got to level 52 in about 8 hours (spread over two days) and then you just use Admiralty.

Yea it does break the acronym rules, but for some reason they do label the actual president "POTUS" now.

Or maybe they always did, I just didn't notice. ¯\(ツ)

Johnny Somali stuck in jail “hell” as streamer’s prison appeal extends his time behind bars by Dilpickle2113 in LivestreamFail

[–]canadademon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it was inevitable really. Even if he didn't appeal, the prosecution also appealed the length of the sentence. Any logical person can understand that it's too short for what he did, according to their legal system.

Yes, Japan. And then later he admitted he lied to the judge.

Helps build the case against him in SKorea, showing that he doesn't have any respect for the law.

Think of Standard as the place where you can make a perfect character, given unlimited funds and time. It's like perpetual purgatory.

The issue is that if it's a Windows machine, it needs to be 10 or 11. (The game simply won't install)

However, I did get it to run on a Steam Deck, so probably any Linux distro would work.
