Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it?
  • Played it again right after they stopped releasing updates this year. If you don't play it expecting an RPG or immersive sim, it's good.

    I like Phantom Liberty even more. They didn't attempt to compromise on anything regarding the game genre anymore and just made it a shooter action adventure with a cinematic story, which plays in it own little open world area.

    2077 is one of the few AAA games that doesn't feel completely soulless. It could've delved deeper into the philosophical "what if" aspect of the Cyberpunk genre though.

    Also they should've made the badlands story part with Panam it's own game, in retrospect it's what I enjoyed the most out of the base game.

  • Linux Users on October 14, 2025...
  • The guide is on the site they linked. It works, I did it a few times. They have to mirror the LTSC installation files unfortunately, but there's a guide on how to verify they're genuine if you don't trust them.

  • Steam Deck won't have yearly refreshes because it's "not really fair to your customers", says Valve
  • New deck wouldn't even be better. Even the handhelds that came after the deck (ROG Ally etc) struggle to offer something better than the deck.

    The only things I could think of were a bigger display (that actually goes from top to bottom), max 1600x1000 which wouldn't even be an upgrade because the APU struggles even with 1280*800 with AAA titles anyway and Hm. idk

  • Windows 10 only has a year of support: 12 months left to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn Linux
  • There's Windows 10 LTSC, which gets security updates til 2027. And IoT Enterprise LTSC, which gets security updates until 2032.

    "But should you even use those versions?!? They are not meant to be installed on a desktop PC/laptop" - idk, it's either this or Win11.

    For more info on how to install, check https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

  • Valve confirms it'll support the ROG Ally with its Steam Deck operating system
  • I think this was their plan all along. Maybe it wasn't, in any case I was sure it wouldn't be long until we see SteamOS (or something like Bazzite, which is already here I don't know how functional it is) on these things. Why you would advertise Windows on a handheld PC I didn't get at all. The certain titles you are only able to play on Windows (bc poor support or anti-cheat etc etc) usually aren't games you would play on a mobile device anyway.

  • Anon is asking the difficult questions
  • I don't care about common interests. I'm much more interested in people having similar values and a coherent worldview compatible with mine. This applies to friends as well as to partners.

    BPD people are not that bad if they are self-conscious and in therapy.

  • CD Project devs want to "call out" big problems like homelessness and the wealth gap in Cyberpunk 2077 sequel
  • Maaaaan can they fucking stop writing shit like this. Cyberpunk is and has always been about inequality and how tech potentiates it. I hate gaming journalism so much. 99% hot air.

    Maybe I should be mad at the devs and writers, but they watch the world like it was a car crash and take it as inspiration. Homelessness crisis?!? Write that down WRITE THAT DOWN !!!

  • Experience with GrapheneOS
  • I wrote about battery drain in response to another user who had issues on Graphene, even though this is a general Pixel issue, and has nothing to do with Graphene. The modem chews through the battery if you don't have good connectivity, although I'm not sure if that's still a big problem with the 7's and 8s. It definitely is with the 6.

    Personally, I had problems with adapting to the "don't try to be a power user" philosophy of Graphene. I was used to flashing ROMs, rooting and customizing the hell out of my previous smartphones. Then I suddenly had a device which just... worked. It's still an odd feeling, but I got used to it.

    Just wanted to add to the other users unique experiences. From the perspective of someone who was a "the only good phone is a phone which is one small mishap away from being bricked" kinda guy

  • What do you think of this prediction?
  • Yeah I do have a similar fear. Valve is something special. I tried to hate them, they're filthy-rich corpos after all, but I can't. Something of value will be lost when Valve finally succumbs to enshittification, which cannot be said of a lot of other big companies.

    But my fear isn't necessarily about Steam. I have like 20-30 games in my library. Steam is simply the least shit way to play games you have/want to pay for.

  • Low quality audio without WiFi

    Hi and hello.

    It seems with one of the recent updates, audio quality defaults to either 32kbps or 48kbps m4a when I use mobile data. On WiFi it's always 128 kbps. I didn't find anything in the settings to combat this behavior, and it happens on my new Pixel as well as on my old Xiaomi.

    I use Newpipe primarily as a music streaming app, so this, ehm, it sucks pretty bad.

    Did I miss a setting or should I open an issue on github?

    edit: I just opened an issue on github, hopefully this gets resolved.

    edit 2: This apparently has been an issue for quite some time, it's not a bug though. Setting "Settings" > "Video and Audio" > "Limit resolution when using mobile data" to "No limit" resolved it, but it's not mentioned anywhere that this setting also affects the audio quality. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/8148
