There already isn't feature parity, because the S doesn't support the same video resolution and framerates as an X. Anyone who bought an S thinking it was just as powerful as an X didn't do their homework. And yeah, MS is partially no blame for not making the distinction more clear.

I'm an S owner, of multiple units, because the consoles were cheaper and most of all actually available to purchase. I knew going in it was a lighter console. For what my family plays, that's perfectly fine. We're more of an indie game or older game house, with very little time spent on AAA games. Having multiple cheaper consoles vs 1 expensive one gives us more gaming options, including multiplayer if we want to. For me, the S is fine even if feature parity goes away.

And as far as multiplayer goes, split screen coop in a AAA game is pretty much a rarity anyway. Devs aren't incentivized to optimize their code. They're pushed to hit deadlines and make it work. Split screen exposes all the cut corners and poor performance code, so a lot of game devs won't even bother.

It's the right choice, in this circumstance. Drop the split screen for the S to get the game out there. They can always circle back later and add it back in, if time and money allows. Other games have proven it's not impossible, and I'm sure BG3 devs -could- do it. They just need the time and resources, and it's not worth holding up the X release for that.

When I had a leak like this, it was the back window seal that was compromised. I had tested the trunk seal to no effect, but it still got wet when it rained or car wash. Took it to a shop and they figured out it was the window...I would have never guessed that.

That's awesome. That was one of the things I really wanted! Gonna have to try it out

I don't know if it's a majority yet, but there's a significant enough number of progressives to make it a deal. So yeah, there's some hope there.

Actually, the one's breaking off are the conservative ones. They're mad because the main assembly won't enforce the homophobic rules. They're joining a splinter denomination that's more hardline.

For those asking, I used redact.dev to delete my stuff. It's available on lots of platforms including mobile.

I really just wanted to be done and gone from reddit, to be honest. My reaction when something like this happens isn't to make a big scene. I just delete my content and vanish into the ether. Only time I actually made a farewell post was Facebook, and that was just to let my friends/family know how to continue to contact me. With Twitter I just nuked my posts and killed the account.

Reddit can probably filter/censor any sort of fediverse spam anyway, so it just seemed like extra steps at this point.

After many years I've gone back to Assassin's Creed games. Got some of the classic ones on sale and whoops...several hours gone again.

On the topic of minesweepers, you've probably already seen Hexceed on Steam. That one has gobble up a chunk of my time in the past as well.

Redact

I used Relay for years. I'd love to support the dev, but no way I'm paying Reddit anything directly or indirectly. They won't get my money, my content, or even my eyeballs if I can help it. They're extorting the users and the devs with this, and I'm not gonna reward them for bad behavior. Time to move on.

12 years, and my days of contributing to Reddit are over. It's obvious they're more interested in money than the communities. It's best to walk away and move on.

I'll participate on here for now, and we'll see how it goes.

Best hunger mechanics are the ones that don't harm your character when you're hungry, but you do get a buff for eating.

Valheim's like that. Don't want to eat? Fine. Go multiple days without and you'll still be ok. But if you want your hp to be all it can be, you'll want to eat up before going out to fight.
