Wow, what restraint. Now I definitely trust this guy who can't even trust himself with highly confidential information and the nuclear codes. /s.

This argument about cost of development would hold more weight if the game store savings were passed onto the users rather than just eaten up by the publishers. Borderlands 3 base game has the exact same price on steam vs EGS atm, £49.99. Clearly those 20% savings are just extra money the publisher wants to pocket rather than actual necessary costs to the game. If their happy to pass it off to steam when sold on the steam platform rather than raise the price to recoup the platform tax.

Didn't 5h3y just release an update that bricked dual boot installs. Something tells me someone else should be organising this. Someone that actually cares.

Ports? Hah, they'll send it straight through https if they want. To the base Microsoft domain so you can't block without basically disconnecting your install. Objectively that's what any security conscious user should do.

Heroic also makes it effortless, but I agree with all your points.

Sadly I don't think bluetooth was really designed for how interconnected it has become. I'm still annoyed bluetooth multi-point is so broken :/, rather than interviewing multiple audio sources to the same speaker it just force mutes one when the other comes and at least for my momentum 4s I don't see an option to set the priority or suppress this.

It's false equivalence to claim steam has a monopoly when you're literally giving epic a monopoly on your games for financial kickbacks between yourselves that in the best case doesn't impact the user and worst case actively compells them to a much worse platform. What epic and gearbox did is monopolistic, what steam did is just make a good enough product that no one gives a sh*t about EGS. If you want an actual competitive store front, make something your users want, not your business partners. Gog is struggling but it's still my first goto for games because even if it's missing all of steams functionality, it gives me ownership of games that can't just be revoked or broken by publishers. That's a value add I'm willing to pay for. Paying more so publishers can make more money and sell a worse experience through EGS ain't moving me.

Well yes, this is biggest gripe with covenant. It timeskipped across the next and objectively more interesting part of prometheus only to tell another not too difficult to predict aliens movie. It doesn't help shaw was not even present in covenant (unless you count a skeleton). I think the background to what happened there is more interesting than any of the other movies we got since.

Full disclosure haven't seen the originals (or maybe I did but was too young to remember). I'd say it's worse than prometheus or covenant (covenant being my favourite although I hated the story jump from prometheus). It seemed to be trying to be it's own thing with it's own cast, own planet and own character motivations but it also kept pulling in things from the other movies to fail at building something unique. It also doesn't answer any questions from the previous movies :/.

Honestly. I was looking forward to these. Army of the dead was pretty mediocre but it at least felt like an original zombie movie in a genre oversaturatef with them. Army of thieves was pretty great. Predictable but funny with a originality that kept me engaged. Although truth be told Ludwig was probably the most interesting of the crew so good we got that at least :-(. All that said this just took too long, it's been 3 years with nothing. Most people have probably forgotten about it.

I did, lol. From the trailers it looked so bad it could be good, you know in that awful cheesy way that some movies are. In the end it wasn't that bad. If you strip away the borderlands wrapper it was a decent comedy sci-fi film. Not gonna win any awards but solid 5/10. Really this should've just done it's own thing, to me it just looked like an excuse for the actors to make money and cosplay XD.

Omg. No. He did not pull a russ hannaman. Tell me it ain't true XD.
