  “The update will enable battery management features that will reduce capacity and charging performance after the battery reaches 400 charge cycles. We’ll contact impacted customers next month, with all the information they need to address the issue.”

  Isn’t that everyone? It’s wild to advertise the length of updates but have phones that keep being unable to reach that full cycle without getting kneecapped.

  I feel like a guide site is very likely to get scraped up by AI. People just typing in “How to repair buildings in Worshippers of Cthulhu” and getting their answer without ever knowing who wrote it out originally. I hope the best for them. I think it’s a cool endeavor.

  Oh for sure my confidence is way low. I don’t do much early access stuff and CU would definitely not be an exception.

  I want good things for it is all. Seeing a video drop is nice, if only to show a sign of life.

  I’ll try it when it comes out. I really got hooked by Warhammer Online mostly until it closed (now alive again).

  I never backed it, but I never felt Jacob’s as anyone bad. He put his own money in and I believe they did considerable refunds after a while. Maybe a bit misguided with whatever that spinoff game was. Warhammer Online tried the same thing after he had already left, with Wrath of Heroes.

  If it is fun PvP, I’ll be there. I hope they popularize something new again. I feel like many games have some version of public quests now.

  I would be extremely surprised if they don’t find a way to get more money out of it. Cosmetics for sure. Perhaps quests at some point. I feel like full expansions are kinda dead though and certainly out of scope, as isn’t just the normal game in an Unreal 5 wrapping?

  I play ESO, and love it, but I have been shaken down too aggressively to trust.

  It’s cool to see things get to stick around. I felt the same with APB from Little Orbit. It’s just cool to see games still exist.

  This isn’t for me, but I know people who would love this kind of thing. Why not let the collectors collect.

  I wish it said RAM specs. Would be funny to use it in a rig to play ESO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oblivion has my heart, but I’m not super interested in this. So far some of the visual choices look less inspired than the original take, and I don’t just mean the yellow filter. The dryad went from other worlds to person with a dryad skin equipped.

  I’m more interested in the Skyblivion mod. It feels more like it improves upon what was there and has some cool deviations of its own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She lost her scholarship over an AI allegation — and it impacted her mental health⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  An interesting read. I’ve heard stories of the same. It seems very irresponsible to tank a grade because a thing told you to while accusing a student of doing a thing because something told them to do it that way. It seems so muddy that I’m not surprised.

  If nobody in the room can explain their logic, then maybe it isn’t decision making time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve played the first Mirrors Edge to like 75% maybe three times over the years since it released. I just started downloading the second today. Do you think it is I’ll advised to skip the last quarter of the first? It has been a while since I played it and I feel like I would burn out again.

  Great game. I think it’s me.

  Are you offering yours up? I would be very interested if you are.

  Interesting that the District 9 director is involved with the parent company.

  I thought Game Informer had some cool stuff. I really liked the second opinion on reviews, that tiny box inside the full review. It was fun to pick a side when they were at odds.

  Battlenet has it. I’m not sure why, maybe it is a sign of things to come for Microsoft? I couldn’t very well try the Microsoft Store as it has 0 compatibility with linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed Launches As Steam's # 1Top Seller In The US And Worldwide⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have any Linux users had luck getting it to work through Battlenet? I still got a few months left on my three years of Xbox membership. I got battlenet running through Steam and got it to install the game, but it reports a problem updating when trying to launch.
