    whatever you do, do not, BY ANY MEANS, think about visiting this site that, among other things, links to full, pirated, de-DRM’d games that are better experienced in their entirety without an intermediary platform like Steam, Epic Games, etc… DO NOT GIVE THE THOUGHT EVEN A MICROSECOND! This would totally be morally equivalent to “the bad stuff” that good wholesome companies that do mere totally excusable “oopsies”.

  • Gamers will unite to thwart cheaters and staunchly have their demands for balance changes met but will turn the other cheek on racism, sexism, ableism, etc… with the reasoning being “cuz muh free speech”, both in-game and on social media platforms.


  • Java but in an alternate universe (with Microsoft’s trademarked cursetm that follows everywhere). Auto-properties/properties to reduce boilerplate, extension methods, simplified exceptions (I don’t care about being explicit about checked/unchecked exceptions, I just want to throw em and catch em whenever I feel like it! Then again, other languages don’t want you to care about any of that either), Linq and access to the wonderful world of the GAME DEV ecosystem (Unity, Godot). Anything other than that is just splitting hairs at this point.




  • Fellow EndeavorOS enjoyer here, I love the hand-holding it does for you at the beginning (calamares installer, pick whichever DE that tickles your fancy, access to AUR and other goodies by default), but then basically beyond that point, you’re on your own. The fact that it’s Arch based also means that 9.99 times out of 10, you can always consult the Arch Wiki for any issues.

    It’s like an Arch Linux starter pack that gives you the option to take off the training wheels at any time lol.


  • If It’s as good as astrobot then I don’t think 10bucks is all that crazy either.

    … is not in agreement with

    If the only point is to advertise the functionality of the console, charging any sort of money for it is not productive for what it should be achieving

    …and it doesn’t look like a contrapositive either.

    Astrobot is actually a fully-fledged standalone game, in which the PS5’s features are seamlessly baked into the core of the gameplay, rather than the core of the game being just the PS5 functionalities. The only other game I could think of and one you could compare it to more accurately is Tearaway (back when it was a PS Vita exclusive), because that was also a game that made use of every core functionality the console for that game had to offer.

    The Welcome Tour is literally just PS Vita’s Welcome Park but with a few more mini games, the latter of which is free.
