Ok? I don't think taking money for mods is wrong. It's not like Bethesda did this without the modders knowledge. Free mods still existed. Nowadays people just open a Patreon to get paid for this stuff.

What "hunger games" stuff do you mean.

that allows devs to get paid

I can't believe indie devs like LocalThunk or Toby Fox don't get any money when someone buys their games. It's really bizarre.

Or do you mean, that there are open source game platforms out there that don't pay the devs?

If all the money should go to the devs, every game would need to be self-published, and the store would not take a cut, which isn't realistic, if you want the store or platform to have any features.

Is the top right one of these AI Ghibli images, that I've heard of these last few weeks?

Also, why is Fallout London and Skyblivion on that picture? Bethesda are supporting mods for their games, they don't care that someone makes new stuff. Have they ever blocked one of these mods, like Take2 or Nintendo always do?

You can now (on June 5th) very easily play most PC games on the Switch 2.

I mean, other consoles support proper KB+M, but it's not like Paradox is rushing to get their games released on Playstation. Why would the Switch be different, with a worse mouse and no keyboard?

In justifying the $450 price of the Switch 2, Nintendo executives predictably pointed to the system's upgraded hardware specs, as well as new features like GameChat and mouse mode.

GameChat is truly a revolution. We haven't used voice chat for games for like 25 years, definitely not.

Nobody asked for the mouse mode, it will probably be used by two games, made by Nintendo themselves, then just be forgotten.

30-series was only the 3050 on x8, but 40-series it was 4060 and 4060 Ti (all three 4.0). I'd be surprised if it was x16, since Nvidia likes to cheap out on these things more and more over the years

Trying a solo Honor Mode run in Baldur's Gate 3. Playing a Gloomstalker Assassin, which should avoid getting into combat a lot, and just snipe from max range, if you play it right. If I die, I'll probably still continue the run. I've done the beginning too many times earlier this year.

Used it, it was probably the best, but still bad. If not for work, it would have been good enough though.

Most of the RDP implementations are also just based on FreeRDP, so they're basically the same. I had terrible picture quality on all of them, even over local network, and the USB passthrough barely worked.

Tbh since I need the system for work, I wasn't able to test stuff super long. Maybe I should install Linux on a secondary system, so I can just play around and try stuff.

I've been on Windows 11 since it was released. The only problem I had were NVIDIA drivers sometimes causing a bluescreen (mainly my fault).

Linux doesn't work for me currently, since I use RDP to connect to systems for work, and RDP clients on Linux are ass.

Yeah, it would be insane if the game's also uninstalled, but that second system still needs to be at hand or someone needs to "eject" it. It's a really dumb system.

I think the only thing that's worse with the new Steam system is that everyone has to be in the same country.

If we still need to buy one copy of a gamer per simultaneous player,.then the rest of the differences are just ceremony.

Like I said, to me, the differences are not as cut and dry, it depends on you situation.

As for the virtual game card, Nintendo actually uses eject, load, and borrow in their article, so it sounds to me it's basically like a physical game you have to move between consoles, not just simple check.
