Can't see the video right now, but considering the old thief games are some of my favorite games ever, I don't think I'd disagree much. Still haven't found a better stealth game, 23 years later. Deus ex can come real close in terms of quality stealth if you play ghost, but while encouraged, it's not the point of the game.

Last time it got so bad that I started duping to be able to function there with a new character without nolifing the game. Something which I had promised myself not to do ever in this game, ever since I learned how back in 2007.

I heard a lot of people with performance issues, luckily I never had that problem myself for whatever reason. Regardless if it was with the new or old engine.

Then again, if I ever decide to play again, I have an entire roster of lvl1 chars with the entire set of the store QoLs to go, from all the keys to the gardens, to stupid amounts of VP/tokens, to banks and portable stores and even endgame armors and a complete set of twinking weapons/armors for every skill/ability at every breakpoint. So it'll be easy to get back into it.

Though I doubt I ever will again.

Meanwhile, 162 days and counting for dead space.

Doesn't make me want to buy it, without trying it out first, but saying hours to days for denuvo is..a joke really. Sure there were a couple of games that were cracked in a couple of days, but that's a handful of them in the last 6 years or so. Most take a long, long time.

I mean..I could understand that question a handful of years ago, but now? There's a long list of games that only have a loading screen when you open the game and never again.

Even as far back as minecraft for the most well known ones. TLOU iirc was like that as well, back in ps3. Now with nanite I bet it will be even more common. But I doubt we'll ever get to a point that ALL games are like that. Sometimes it's even done for artistic purposes. Or continuity reasons.

It's not. Most of the time it's fine, but there have been cases in the past that they added their own DRM in the games.

Mine would be Anarchy Online. Still around, though FC has ran it to the ground and not too obscure, considering it used to be quite big before 2005ish, but almost nobody talks about it in EU and the few times they do is to comment on the dreadful launch.

But I doubt there's a game I've sunk more hours into, playing constantly from release up to 2011 and then on and off until last year. Eventually I figured out it's just nostalgia and it's not worth it anymore, the time, let alone the sub.

Last I checked, if you had an account from back in the day, you could still play on the servers, even with other people (there is still an active community on discord for events and raids and pvp and such).

But no. Don't play that abomination on steam.

I remember when I was considered a contrarian for refusing to have a facebook account back in 2008 or twiter later on or instagram. How times have changed.

I really dislike how it went full plugin mode. It annoys the hell out of me that I don't have an app locally. Plus it looks a bit iffy to me on data collection compared to other password managers and the fact that it's located in US doesn't fill me with confidence about privacy.

I use dashlane and I want to change. Any ideas on something that can offer the same functionality?

ie awesome with input fields for autocomplete, ability to save documents and with a good android app?

A week and two updates later. FPS stays at 15 but for some reason now I get a warning that it needs 8gb ram that I didn't get before and tge loading times are much worse.

The game is playable, being pixel art and old, you don't really feel the 15 fps and they don't make it unplayable or anything.

That said, I wouldn't play this game on a phone anyways even if it run at 60 locked and I fully understand that my s9+ will never be good enough for yuzu. That's not a criticism of the emulator whatsoever, just reporting how it plays on old exynos phones.

Do you happen to have a good guide I could follow? I really like the idea behind playnite and how good/useable it can look, but I get lost every time.

If not for the rest, at least for emulators/retro gaming.
