And the impressive thing is, Palworld isn't even free to play, it's a (relative cheap) priced games. So this number is not just people trying it out for free. Also have in mind the game is on Game Pass on Xbox and on PC. So there are actually people not buying and playing on Steam.

The only game with more concurrent player record is still held by PUBG, which is at 3.2 million.

I just purchased Crysis Remastered for only 1,49 Euros in Steam.

Payment Method: Steam Wallet
Purchased: Dec 21 @ 7:42pm
Crysis Remastered - 1,49€
Subtotal 	1,25€ 	
Discount 	-28,50€ 	( -95%)
Tax 	0,24€ 	
Total 	1,49€ 	

Opening the store page, shows its 10,49 Euros now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1715130/Crysis_Remastered/

But searching for the game shows its for the lower price:
https://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=_ASC&term=crysis&force_infinite=1&supportedlang=english%2Cgerman%2Cturkish&snr=1_7_7_151_7&page=1

Is this a special promotion, because I already own the original version of the game? Or was this sort of a bug maybe?

Modding isn’t specific to PC Gaming only. There are entire communities and specialists dedicated to the development of Romhacks for old console games. Today we are looking at the Genesis / Mega Drive system.

Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at a situation where one of the biggest brands in the world of NFTs, Bored Apes Yacht Club hosted an event in Hong Kong that left it's attendees potentially blind for the rest of their lives.


Note from me the poster: I added a bit title, because the original title is not descriptive.

That's what Google want you to believe, forget about and step back. It's not over yet. We just stopped the first wave and it will get harder with each wave.

We're playing a Half-Life Cut content recreation mod, Half-Life: Absolute Zero, with one of the original level designers from Valve Software, Brett Johnson. Mr. Johnson worked at Valve from 1996 until 1999, and was responsible for most of the design of Anomalous Materials, Unforeseen Consequences, Surface Tension, the multiplayer map Stalkyard, among many other things. We play through his sections of this recreation mod, judging it's accuracy, and telling stories of what Valve was like back in the 90s. This one is special, thank you Brett.

Squadron 42 is the single player campaign of Star Citizen, that is supposed to launch as a separate game. It's basically a small portion of Star Citizen, but with a story and ending. I'm still not confident; waited too long for that.

It's a Lose-Lose situation. Reddit has a fetish for that...

Reddit might cut off Google and force users to log in to Reddit itself to read anything, if it can’t reach deals with generative AI companies to pay for its data.

On the one hand I really hope this happens. On the other hand, it would be devastating to the communities. But this shows how Reddit has the last say and can hold the content hostage on their platform. People need to stop using Reddit and switch to open and free alternatives, that is not controlled by a single entity / company. The problem is, there is lot of good legacy content and solutions that would be not available for most people searching the web.

But for the search engines who do not respect robot files, would still be able to index. Right? Ironically an AI could also write summaries...

I have some questions: How fast are read and write operations and random access? What are the expected prices, once it hit mass production for the average consumer? And how long is expected to take until this happens?

I have two different versions of original Mass Effect 2 in my Steam library and don't know what the differences are. They have unique ids and even the space for installation differs. Notice: This is not about the Remasters. Have a look at the links please. Can you tell me what's going on?

There are many reasons to dislike Nvidia on Linux. Here is a little thing that bugs me all the time, the updates. Normally the system updates would be quick and fast, but with the proprietary drivers of Nvidia involved, it gets quiet slow process. And I am not even talking about any other problem I encounter, just about the updates.

As an Archlinux based system user (EndeavourOS to be precise), I get new Kernel updates all the time. That means every time a new Kernel version is installed, the Nvidia driver DKMS has to be installed too. And that is basically the slowest part. But that's not too bad, even though it's doing this twice for each Kernel I have once.

What's more infuriating is, if you also happen to use Flatpaks for a very few applications. I really don't have many Flatpaks at all. Yet, the Nvidia drivers are installed in 7 versions or what?! And they are full downloads, each 340 MB or more. This takes ages and is the only part that takes long to update Flatpak system. I always do flatpak remove --unused to make sure nothing useless is present. /RANT (EDIT: Just typos corrected.)

@Greenpepper I actually appreciate how Musk ruined Twitter. I was never fan of that service anyway. That means alternatives have a chance to grow. :-) Thank you Elon.

@donuts I recently had a short conversation with someone from mastodon.art. They denied the GIMP devs an account on their server, because GIMP is a slur word. And they made a public announcement of this fact. Looks like the moderation/administration people are assholes, if they act and communicate like that. This community is new to me and all I know is about this GIMP announcement and this new drama.

@chiz X is so easy to search in internet. So many results; it gets never boring! Very unique name and brand.

Spez: Write it down, write it down! Let's rename Reddit to Z! Employee: Why Z? Spez: What do you mean why? Does X make any sense to you too? Employee: All right, I should have never questioned you.

@invno1 I have never moderated a community, but can absolutely see this! They moderated, because they loved the community and understood how to do it well. Maybe there are friends too, who you learn and discuss stuff with over the years. An angry user (like me) can "just" leave without many consequences. But a moderator also feels responsible to its community too. So I can understand those who have a hard time leaving. Maybe there was hope that Reddit will turnaround too.
