Those ultra-casuals, consume games not because but despite being games.

lmao

Both.

Games that are usually criticized by this, also tend to be games that sell really well. Think Sony exclusives like Uncharted, TLoU, etc.

Some of the most beloved games by the communities are also story heavy, like Bioshock, Mass Effect, System Shock, etc. These games I mentioned have passable gameplay even when they were released, case in point, whenever you talk with someone about these games, they won’t talk about the gameplay, they will talk about the twists, the characters, etc.

Then there are games that are the antithesis to this post: interactive movies and visual novels. Quantic Dream’s games (detroit become human, heavy rain, etc) despite all their faults, sold well. Telltalle’s put their foot in the industry with the first season of The Walking Dead, and they would still be in business today if it wasn’t for their one trick pony game design and biting more than they could chew. Visual novels tend to be in the grey area and some people argue they aren’t games at all, but some do feature gameplay, and people don’t play those for the gameplay I can promise you that.

I do share the opinion that many publishers & studios in the gaming industry have the wrong idea that they need to be like the movie industry and have cinematic games. They don’t. But the demand for those types of games exist too

But I want to defend my -ism

Strongly recommend this one. It’s also available for chromium, Safari, and iOS

This is a trick question, the real answer is that there weren’t real communist countries

1 - YMMV, as I mentioned

2- as a consequence, popular distros like Ubuntu and Fedora too. I expect other GUI’s and therefore distros to follow

3- Didn’t mean to imply they don’t, what I meant is that they have issues and will make users jump to other ships.

4, 5 and 6, Lutris and later Steam itself when I was running out of ideas, and yes it does run on Linux as long you can figure out the correct proton/wine version or buy the game from Steam. Point here was that gaming on Linux can be convenient or very annoying, depending on the games you want to play. YMMV

YMMV

If you have an old nvidia card, you’re going to have issues with some games. BF4 for example, no matter what you do you will have lag and stutter

There’s wayland and lack of support for nvidia cards, and major distros and GUI’s dropping x11 in favour of wayland (regardless of whose fault it is or if it’s good or bad in grand scheme of things, whoever has an nvidia GPU is going to be forced to use other distros or windows)

And then the whole proton and wine stuff… I just installed CoD 2 and had to fetch some commands in order for it to run, else it crashed after playing the first cut scene. And then there are other games, like Divinity dragon commander, that I couldn’t figure how to get it to run. Tried several proton versions, none of them launched the game. My fault or ignorance? Perhaps, but on windows it would run first try.

It was the inverse for me. Windows 7 was always a nightmare to set up drivers, it was common to manually download the wifi drivers from the laptop’s brand website. I groaned whenever someone asked me to help set up their PC.

Windows 10 just works out of the box. The only downside for me is aesthetics, I always preferred Aero.

The rest, enslaved

Just correcting because your comment insinuated that google doesn’t have significant influence over android, which is far from the truth. They could as well own it.

I didn’t mean to dispute or address the rest of the comment.

The Android Open Source Project isn’t owned by Google

One of those things that technically is true but in practice it isn’t. Just like chromium. Google is the main influencer of the project and it’s naive to think otherwise.

the symbol was making me think it was a cryptocurrency

Yeah it’s a tragedy

Yeah being unable to open… checks notes local news websites from the US has been a real deal breaker

Like moths to a flame lol

(I would also like to participate pls)

It doesn’t point you to a different folder, it’s the same directory as the local Documents.

What I suggested is that you could create your own shortcuts that fit better your needs, I didn’t say it would create two documents shortcuts. I’m not sure what you are talking about.

And hey, I was trying to give you tips on how things actually work. If you want to be antagonistic, fine, I’ll shut up then 🤐

Have a good one

The local documents folder is always by default in the list of pinned folders, the ones I mentioned in the last reply. On the left side of the explorer.

In alternative, you can go to your users folder and create a shortcut in your desktop, or another location of your choice; create a shortcut for each subfolder of your choice in your desktop, or another location of your choice; or pin them in the list mentioned previously. Customize your machine to your personal preference.

I’m also speaking from personal experience, I work with Excel almost daily. Perhaps try to understand how you have your onedrive configured. Or if you don’t use it, just uninstall it and/or don’t use the autosave with cloud feature

It’s the last folder you saved to if you’re still using the office app after saving the last file, otherwise it will fall back to Documents.

If you have the option to sync documents folder with onedrive, its the same one.

If you don’t, I’m assuming the autosave with cloud enabled will save it in a different documents folder inside onedrive folder. This onedrive folder is by default in your user folder, but you should have quick access to it in the list of folder on the left of the explorer window, or by double clicking on the onedrive icon in the taskbar.

The only time it can be tricky to locate these files is when the app closes unexpectedly (for whatever reason), and you have to try to locate the .tmp file in the appdata.

Otherwise, the only chance your file is somewhere else is if you edit an existing file or if you save it in another location by mistake. This is easily solved by checking the latest saved files.

It’s not as tricky as you’re trying to make it out to be
