Gaming@lemmy.zip•People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenuesEnglish
4·3 days agoDo you want to know why? Read what people are saying. Ubi’s DRM policies have caused many, many people to lose access to their games. I have at least 4 Ubi games in my Steam Library that I can’t play. So … what’s that? A good $150 they owe me that I’ll never see? Gee. Why would I dislike them? Because they personallyh fuked me.

So ya. Building your own is not a legit option yet. When it becomes more feasible, I’ll be one of the early adopters.
Friend, you sounded a bit mad. Like Cave. Enthusiastic. Alright. Let’s eat moon dust!
Is that a Cave Johnson voice I hear?
I just looked through the PC Gamer article from 3 days ago. They tore it down a bit. Ya, its pretty VR specific hardware. Looks pretty cool, actually. But it’s two screens built in a curved visor-shaped case. That aint no phone.
I was being silly to point out that it would be very easy for them to jump to just making phones. They are mostly there.
I’m probly stating the obvious. I’m usually a little behind the curve
… But this steamframe thing … It’s already a phone, pretty much.
It just needs different apps now.So … Steam just DID make a phone.
Bawwhahahah!!! k. … but I don’t do that on my phone …
Jebus. Ya, I’ll take Valve’s bloatware compared to anyone else’s … so far.
Until they get in bed with Facebook.
And push some new AI girlfriend on me.Goddamn I wish I could build a custom phone OS like Arch. I would actually take the time and do that.
When I get a new phone, it takes me a couple weeks to strip out all the crap without disabling the devices primary functions. Lotta breaking shit and rolling back. It takes for fukin ever.I know open linux phones are on the horizon, at least to some degree.
And when its a legit option, I’ll shell out for a customizable phone.
Until then, I’ll stick to my lobotomized moto-g.
Nixie agrees. She’s a bit sadistic.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•What a fun jacket! And a steal at $99! I can’t wait to wear this in public!English
12·6 days agoI got jumped by a group of Hell’s Angels prospects out in a group to earn their points. Yes, they really do go out and hit people to show how badass they are. As a group. Against one drunk guy at 2am.
The only one that got a clean hit in was the leader and his sucker punch. The rest had no clue or no idea how to hit. I bounced off the sidewalk, landed on my feet like a cat, couple yards away. Wished em all a fuk off, and walked away from those cowards.

434·11 days agoThis was painful to read. Yuck. It was written like clickbait. Like AI writes. Yuck.
And of course it was crossposted. If you’ve got something you need everyone to know, you gotta crosspost it everywhere.


Read what people are saying. We disagree with your perspective and feel that this issue is justly deserved by Ubi’s behavior. Everyone was very, very clear about this. Our take is this is Ubi trying to hide their failure and blame it on an industry slump. So there ya go. Now you understand the article.
