Welcome to the bait and switch.
Well there’s not really any major 3rd person MOBA’s, and Deadlock is not very similar to Smite in gameplay.
I think it’s an interesting addition to a not very well explored genre – I’m not the biggest MOBA fan but this one is a lot of fun (for me) because of the emphasis on movement and patience.
I wonder if the dev team wanted to play a game that doesn’t really exist yet and so they made this, since it seems more like a passion project.
Article update:
Update #1 - 14:31 UTC: Rockstar have now put up an official FAQ for BattlEye where they state:
Is BattlEye compatible with Steam Deck?
Steam Deck does not support BattlEye for GTA Online. You will be able to play GTAV Story Mode but unable to play GTA Online.
Note: GTAV and GTA Online are not officially supported on Steam Deck and all technical support questions should be directed to Valve’s Steam Deck support content and community.
I’m still currently waiting for an official statement from Rockstar on any plans to enable it, since BattlEye as mentioned below is supported on Linux / Steam Deck.
It’s funny because we don’t even need GPU’s. There’s tech that offloads the model’s “search” to an analog computer which is ~98% accurate for a fraction of the energy.
I imagine NVIDIA isn’t too excited about that side of AI, though.
I think it’s for people who are intentionally playing poorly, not navigating their way around the map and getting lost or being a poor shot
Does it have to be equivalent? There are plenty of builds that will work just fine for gaming, they just aren’t 1440p or 4k, or 120hz.
There’s also that these computers can do a lot more than just game, so while you’re not getting “top of the line” graphical fidelity from your console, you can actually use it to browse the web, or run some software in your home.
Then there’s also the fact that if you want to play online it requires you pay a subscription. So even just the $10 a month for the subscription is $120 a year for every year you didn’t buy a PC instead.
So, are PC’s really more expensive, or is it the fallacy of needing the absolute best and then paying out the nose in after-ownership fees for the entire duration you own the console?
We are a small circle. For every 1 of us that do not care, if you would simply go to Facebook or reddit you would see that there are more than 10 who do care.
This is the dynamic of the public sphere, where broadness to reach as many people as possible means allowing for a narrative that can be interpreted in such a way that each individual can be right in their perception of it.
While I saw the trailer for GTA6 as being a poor imitation of real life, in that the events of GTA4 and 5 were more creative in their situations because they were larger than life. These are things that are so crazy but they still could happen in real life. Instead of continuing that trend, the trailer is a 1:1 recreation of actual events that happened in real life… IMO, that is a drastic shift, as to me it would indicate that the creative direction is referencing, or recreating crazy events that have actually happened. Where previous installments tend to have commentary about the events.
Btw, doing my best to compare the actual trailers between the games, not what we know after the fact. Of course, GTA6 could completely go a different direction and those 3 instances of real life could be the only time something like that happens. I doubt it, but it could be. My whole point here is that you and I can analyze media and pick up on facets about the themes or the narrative, and in response in the public sphere the response you get in return are, “bro it’s not that deep it’s just GTA”, or “bro is literally writing an essay about a game”.
These are actual responses I got to a pretty heartfelt comment I made about the trailer. Media literacy, analysis, basically anything that isn’t the surface level just doesn’t matter to like 80-90% of people. Not one response I got even attempted to dig deeper into what I was trying to say, the closest it got was justifications about why R* did real life events for the trailer, and how the game won’t be a mishmash of memes.
So, I write all this to say, we are a small portion of the population. Also, I think R* is one of the last few companies to have “good grace” with its fan base from the era of when hype would last. A decade ago it wasn’t uncommon for a game to be announced at E3 and that game would be present in people’s minds for 4 to 6 years and each mention of it gets them more hype.
In the last 6 years, this has died in the majority of spaces. Metroid Prime 4 had hype, it still does but it’s drastically diminished. If the exact events right now were happening 1 or 2 decades ago, Prime 4 would still be extremely hype.
Cyberpunk was another example of this, at the end of the era where it has good grace, it had an extremely long hype, and then marketing brought that even further and then lost it all - likely a significant reason why hype overall isn’t as prevalent.
Finally, Red Dead Redemption 2 was the same situation as GTA 6, where it had a few years where everyone knew it was coming soon, then it was announced, and now the years are going by waiting for release. So with that said, hype still does exist for a lot of games as long as it’s within 2 years, but beyond that it’s basically forgotten about or could even be criticizing at this point for its extremely long development time, unless the studio has a large enough fan base for it to not matter, like Halo, CoD, Battlefield, whatever.
I have been encountering it more lately, but that’s because of the types of sites I was using.
The ones that may not work tend to be; banking (usually okay though), work-related (ranging from applications to gig work to job specific), and then if you happen to run into something that requires chromium as a way to function, such as some specific extensions or most functional web music creation tools, like MIDI support.
B-b-b-buuuuut I only use Firefox and all my stock and banking sites work fine on FF, those job sites that needed chromium can get by with Edge, and if you’re using web browsers for MIDI tools, really, what are you doing?
Kids make the games.
It’s child labor in the same way Super Mario Maker is, except Roblox actually pays the account.
It will be delisted on the 9th

I can’t recall any popups when I use G-Suite Apps on Firefox. I use Keep Notes, Docs, Excel.
The main thing I notice is the imposed loading time (Gmail animation takes like 10 seconds on FF and seemingly doesn’t exist on Chrome)
You mean cable packages, which have been on the comeback
Yup, this is why I didn’t pay for REAPER until the check for my first audiobook came through!
I’m still waiting for that check from the author, but you best believe $60 of it is going to the software that made that job possible!
I wonder about this for myself when I post a lot for a few days then don’t post anything for a week then post a lot again for a few days.
Like, I just care about certain things I’m sorry
No, the friend is saying
downloading music is legal as long as the artists have authorised use of their work and it is only played privately (not distributed).
Artists are opting in to allowing their music to be pirated, so it technically would be piracy under that law.
However if it’s privately played it may not matter
It looks like it’s available on abandonware and the internet archive
I’m sorry for this insensitive joke, but MiiTomo was too good.
