Metacritic responds after Dragon Age: The Veilguard review bombing
  • in the way that I'm enjoying my time with it a lot and will be sad when it's over. idk I'm not a reviewer, I just know what makes me happy.

  • Steam Game Recording available now
  • really glad we can set the recording location to an external drive

  • Metacritic responds after Dragon Age: The Veilguard review bombing
  • Its a really good game, but metacritic won't do the smart thing and just remove any review where the main complaint is "woke" "pronouns" or "DEI"

  • Read-onlys are cancer. Post stuff you want to see.
  • hey, I got social anxiety, I'm not posting BECAUSE I don't want to hear people's thoughts on me.

  • Xbox May Be Slowing Down Its PS5 Ports
  • I'm all for exclusives going away, but it would have to be more than just microsoft doing it. If sony doesn't reciprocate and all the Xbox games are on PS but none of the PS games are on xbox, why would anyone own an xbox? If nobody has a reason to pick xbox over PS then xbox goes away. with nintendo off doing their own thing that would leave a sony that nobody's competing with, and we've all seen what sony does when they think they can get away with anything cough launch PS3 cough I don't want that again.

  • How do ye find new music?
  • checking out random stuff I see on Rate Your Music or going to shows at small local venues.

  • Black Ops 6 hides better audio behind an additional purchase for some reason
  • a general setting thats available to everyone, and a paid version of that same setting but customized to your individual ears seems pretty reasonable to me actually

  • Kisses
  • I thought I was safe because none of the boys I dated even knew what 40k was, then I dated a girl and SHE taught me about 40k. You're NEVER safe.

  • what are your thoughts on Silent hills 2 remake so far ?
  • it's been great I'd love remakes of the first 4 games for sure if they're all this quality. really wish it was on Xbox as that's my preference as far as platforms go. PC will work though

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 - Global Launch Gameplay Trailer
  • This is the most excited I've been for a new CoD since Black Ops II.

  • Domino's or Pizza Hut?
  • I've worked at Dominos and I like it alright, my family seems to prefer it, but I've always like Pizza Hut significantly more. I live in an area known for pizza though so when I actually get pizza I usually just get it from the mom and pop place literally across the street from me, it's way better than both and cheaper too. Not a lot of topping options but I was always a pepperoni pizza girl anyways.

  • I think Sims is a dead franchise now
  • no, that's the problem, there won't be a new Sims game. Sims 4 has been a zombie of a Sims game since it came out 10 years ago and EA just announced that they're more than happy to let it's corpse shuffle around for the foreseeable future, rather than make a Sims 5 that people actually like.

  • What's your favorite controller?
  • not a separate controller but the steam deck controller.

    if that doesn't count then it's the Stadia controller.

  • How did Call of Duty get to this point?
  • it works surprisingly great on a controller

  • How did Call of Duty get to this point?
  • Right now it's open to anyone who pre-ordered or anyone who has game pass. it's open to everyone for free next week. maybe they should have called it limited instead of open, but it isn't closed to anyone, anyone can get game pass and play the beta rn so it is technically an open beta.

    and why are people playing CoD? because it's really solid gameplay that recieves weekly updates and events to always keep things fresh. the new movement system in this one is really a game changer and makes the game a lot of fun to play.

  • What's A Piece Of Software You Could Never Do Without?
  • wow this will legitimately improve my life daily, thanks for sharing

  • What's the oldest thing in your downloads directory and how old is it?
  • a picture of me with my siblings at the grand canyon for when they came to visit me when I was working there. Oct 15 2010

  • Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?
  • BattleZone (the one from like 2016) is surprisingly fun and has optional VR support

  • What book that hasn't been adapted into a TV show or movie do you think deserves an adaptation?
  • mass effect could be a huge tv and movie franchise but the designs of the aliens would make the effects budgets prohibitively expensive. damn would I love it though.

  • Steam Deck gets stuck on "connecting" to WiFi among other weirdness, persists after factory reset. Basically a paperweight at this point, please help.

    I honestly cannot figure this one out and searching online and the steam troubleshooter have been no help.

    about a week ago my Deck stopped connecting to my WiFi as I was playing a game on it, one minute it's fine, then the wifi connection is gone. I go to reconnect, it gets stuck on "connecting to [SSID]" and it will stay there for several minutes and say "failed to connect" and prompt me to re-enter my password. Double check password, it's all good. Restart router, problem persists. Restart Deck, problem persists. Check my other devices, everything is connecting fine. Check if Steam is working on my laptop, it's fine. I give up on tinkering with it because I've got a big trip coming up and I'd rather play Fallout 4 and Risk of Rain 2 offline than play nothing at all.

    cut to my trip, deck connects to airport wifi, in-flight wifi, hotel wifi, all with no problem, no sign anything is wrong. Deck works perfect.

    get home, deck still won't connect to my WiFi, "fine I'll just play RoR2 in bed offline" game says its launching but then never does, just gets stuck there. Try other games, and same thing happens with every single one.

    "maybe a factory reset will do the trick? I'm desperate enough at this point" I go to settings and factory reset. It says "preparing 0%" for a second and then just gives up on resetting. "oh, so this thing is FUCKED fucked" I turn it off and hold the quick menu button to get into the boot menu and factory reset from there. It works, deck is reset, I try to connect to wifi... same fucking problem.

    I have no ideas, im willing to try anything at this point. my Deck is basically a paperweight. i had a vanilla setup going too, no developer mode, no deckyloader, nothing at all. I'd poke around with my router but that shit is LOCKED DOWN by my ISP so I can't change shit, and that doesn't really explain all the weird shit it's been doing offline, like with not launching games or factory resetting it. Please help, this is my main gaming device.
