Well, with the games that relay in online play, like Street Fighter and Monster Hunter, they can easily enforce that by auto-updating the game everytime they connect online. But with single player games like Resident Evil, yeah, good luck with that... even more so with pirated games.

Find a not-dumb director's board of a Japanese game company challenge! (Impossible)

I'd say the ones at Koei Tecmo, but mostly because we don't hear about them.

Tbf Japan has always had this weird take of "you play our game/entertainment the way we designed it", and they don't seem to take kindly to anyone tinkering with their stuff (Sony is a prime example, as well as Nintendo with any form of emulation/modifications).

This is a battle Capcom will lose though. It's like the time Blizz tried demanding artists stop drawing porn of OW characters, and well, that only made R34 lust even harder as a result. It's almost like these publishers don't know what the Streisand effect is.

Also, I paid for those old games yrs ago, nowhere in those contracts did it ever state "oh we're gonna add DRM down the line to cripple your older games that were working fine before, K thnx". Like I never agreed to any of that, can someone pls fucking call out the publishers for willingly going back on their contracts (I don't give a shit about "subject to change", that's the murkiest excuse in history).

literally fucking impossible.

Like even with the generation after those old fucks, there are still some out there younger than them, that think exactly the same, and they never learn or adapt either. 

This age old "b-but muh lost sales" mantra has gotta end, it's not even remotely concrete and non provable, so why are these publishers wasting decades of our lives and their own to prove something that cannot be proven within anyone's lifetime? (it's like watching an mental patient trying to solve Schro's theory,). 

You know what is evident though?, ppl deciding to not buy their games after this showing up. Like why should I continue buying from Capcom if all they are gonna do is prevent modding, cram DRM up the arse, ask for more money and also sliding in more "skip"/MT bs into each new game.

People have been giving Capcom kudos, when all this time they've just been wanting to emulate what the West is doing, and like another Japanese company (Sony), they are abusing the goodwill earned to just do nasty shit over time. This is why I don't get hyped for shit anymore, because I naturally expect a banger game or two, then that goodwill is getting cashed in for some nasty shit by the next slew of games. 

Really does feel like me expecting a publisher to not do scummy shit or say something stupidly insane, is akin to finding the cure for cancer, which is still impossible at this point. 

29 hours into Final Fantasy VI (mobile remake/old version) on Steam.

I'm almost done with all the side stuff, just need to do one or two more things and then I'll do the final dungeon and after that, it will be the extra bonus dungeon (which is exclusive to this version and the GBA version of the game).

Once I'm done with FF6, I'll play the rest of my Borderlands GOTY Enhanced playthrough.

I use steam achivment manager on way too many games!

I tried a M1 macbook air today. The worst keyboard ever created, it is like putting your finger through mash potato. Quite astounded how a lot of Apple's fans suggest it is the greatest around.

Is there a manager for achievemnts on Steam? I don't pay too much attention on them, except in some games, but still check the list of achievements when I finish a game to see what kind of things I was supposed to do to get them (and then forget about it), or when I get a notification of progress on one achievement, to see what it's about.

Remember that some Apple fans were delighted with that $999 monitor stand they unveiled years ago to match the monitor they were presenting that didn't come with a stand. So yeah, don't take at face value what Apple fans cheer about.

I remember years ago when Apple came up with that laptop keyboard with all the keys being isolated (the ones like this one) and every other vendor went and copied that. I dislike laptops keyboards in general, but I hate that format. So well, I'm not surprised that they've managed to make it even worse.

Hi, I was surpised to see the PC handhelds with an untethered TDP of 25 Watts (~30 Watts for the whole device) going different routes to get the needed power.

• the ROG Ally has a higher voltage but lower current (30 Watts / 15.48 volts would need a current of 1.94 Amps)
• the Legion Go has a lower voltage but higher current (30 Watts / 7.76 volts would need a current of 3.86 Amps)
• the MSI Claw has a medium voltage and medium current (30 Watts / 11.61 volts would need a current of 2.58 Amps)

Are there advantages or disadvantages to the different solutions (for a mobile device) or doesn't it matter, if the needed/delivered power is the same?
