Is the OLED Steam Deck worth it?

Thinking of picking one up. I'd use it to play comfy non-AAA games in bed for snuggle time :marseyneet:

I've been playing on my laptop but the ergonomics suck and its a pain in the butt :marseypain:

I also travel a fair bit and it would be great to soy out in business class :marseysoyswitch:

All the internet reviews seem kinda astroturfed so I'll ask the most reliable people I can think of: The socially inept r-slurs of rdrama :dramatardlove::dramatardlove::dramatardlove:

Sure you might they think they left alot of stuff out but don't worry they got you covered in the comments.

UPDATE: Lots of folks are upset that we didn't include posts from SBI's CEO or Kotaku writers that make them look very bad. Omitting these wasn't part of an agenda in our reporting - we just judged them as being unrelated to the core story (SBI injecting wokeness). Basically, we have to draw the line somewhere or we'd spend hours going over antagonistic posts on all sides.

Certainly, these posts make for a juicier narrative and make it easier to "pick sides," but believe it or not, that's what we're trying to AVOID doing. As much as we can, anyway.

With a topic like this - everyone's going to have a side and a version of events they want to see represented. We try our best to operate outside of those expectations, which basically means we're always going to disappoint someone. L

UPDATE UPDATE: We'll have a brief response to concerns in this story in our next report. Don't unsubscribe until then.

and they follow up with

The core story is that SBI has no real influence. The follow-up story is to dogpile on woke people that paint targets on their backs.

See guys they have no power and we're just going to ignore everything they did.

Football Manager devs basically just update the database and add some minimal patch to the previous version and then charge €50, and then people complain that they're paying full price for a patch but then pay it anyway because it's the only real game out there of its genre.

There's surely money to be made so why doesn't anyone else want to develop a football management game?

I'm working on a video game :marseyfart2:

I've played vidya my entire life. I've had amazing experiences, truly memorable moments that shaped me as a person. But I never felt represented, I never felt seen by the devs. There were no games that spoke to the kind of person I was, am, have always been.

So I'm making the game I wish I had growing up.

It's set in the late 80s in a mall, you play as someone desperately trying not to shit their pants and farting at mall patrons

I've got most of the sprites done, I'm going to be working on the NPC logic next

It's legit on of few games that I am like “why do they even make it. Think logically 1st sold just 1 million copies and most on ps4, a very indie, sequel to an 2016 game that is coming out this year something I didn't even knew because it was so low profile. So someone in 2018 in MS thought it's phantastic idea to give those devs a GOW 2018 budget to make a launch title for series in 2020

So just describing the game already shows what a waste of money this is

I noticed that everyone was writing good reviews about this one so I decided to try it out.

>peacefully fishing and suddenly lift something terrible and grotesque out of the water

That's actually a really good idea for a game. Usually you find regular fish but sometimes you pull up some deformed monstrosity, and not knowing whether or not you're going to catch something scary makes for good horror.

Unfortunately it doesn't stay scary for very long. To begin with you carefully fish, cautiously taking the weird ones back to sell, and making sure you get home before dark. But after a while you realise that the dark doesn't actually do very much, and the aberration fish are basically just like shiny pokemon and the whole thing gets a bit less interesting.

The artists were kind of running out of ideas too where you find oh it's another horror fish with a big mouth or another one with rotting skin or another one with some eel looking things attached to it.

I suppose you can only do so much with that one mechanic. Still it was a nice idea and the lovecraftian atmosphere is cool.

Former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick is reportedly interested in buying TikTok if ByteDance agrees to sell the social media platform.

TikTok is currently under scrutiny amid a potential ban in the U.S. or the forced sale by current owner ByteDance. Some politicians have expressed concern that ByteDance, which is based in Beijing, China, would share data about its users with the Chinese government. A new bill that would ban TikTok in the U.S. or force its sale recently passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee 50-0, and is now heading toward a vote in the House.

According to the Wall Street Journal, one surprising interested potential buyer is Bobby Kotick, who left Activision Blizzard late last year following Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of the company behind Call of Duty.

The WSJ said Kotick "expressed interest" to ByteDance co-founder Zhang Yiming, with the price tag estimated to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Kotick, the WSJ continued, is looking for partners, one of which is OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

"OpenAI could use TikTok to help train its AI models if a partner such as Kotick could raise the capital for such an acquisition," the WSJ said. In any case, there are questions over the likelihood that the bill will pass both the House and the Senate, although President Biden has said he would sign the legislation if Congress passed it.

Kotick was the controversial CEO of Activision Blizzard for 32 years before he stepped down on December 29 as part of a reorganization following the acquisition of the company by Microsoft. Kotick oversaw Activision for over half of its lifespan, and was in charge during the Call of Duty franchise's explosive success, as well as the Guitar Hero era. Kotick remained in charge following the Blizzard Entertainment owner Vivendi's merger with Activision, and, more recently, Activision Blizzard's takeover of Candy Crush maker King.

Kotick also oversaw the company through a period of time called out by the state of California in a 2021 lawsuit as encompassing widespread gender discrimination and gender-based pay inequality. Among the numerous accusations levied against the company regarding its treatment of women include claims that Kotick knew about the accusations "for years" but did not actively address them.

In December, the California Civil Rights Department reached a $54 million settlement with Activision Blizzard over these claims, finding that "no court or any independent investigation has substantiated any allegations that: there has been systemic or widespread sexual harassment at Activision Blizzard," or that Activision Blizzard's board of directors including Kotick "acted improperly with regard to the handling of any instances of workplace misconduct."
