Western game bad when unfuckable player character, or characters above the age of 18.

My friend and I just started playing nightreign. So far we like it but find it difficult due to the battle royal mechanic. My friend lives to explore so we end up forgetting and then getting consumed by the border.

If I had to delete one forever, it would be ds1. I enjoyed the game very much so, but I enjoy the newer titles more and could live without it.

Love how conservatives always need to declare their praise for Trump before they're allowed to criticize him. Can't be letting the rest of the hive think they're a woke lefty.

I'm not so worked up about heat damage specifically, but it does make my room really hot. Even when I seem to just be doing some basic tasks like browsing or watching a video.

I think you misunderstand the logistics of having multiple products on a line using the same hardware but different price points. First of all, Valve isn't Nintendo. Despite them being very profitable and making a lot of money, they don't have the power like Nintendo does to mass order special parts for their devices.

With the AI hardware apocalypse, the cost of everything surged, even for OEMs. So with that in mind, if you had an offering of multiple devices that use the same components but one is cheaper and may potentially lose you money, do you keep that, or just consolidate everything into a single product line? Valve didn't remove the LCD because they didn't want to sell a cheap product, hell they put the device on some amazing sales while it existed. They removed it because selling a $300 device while the cost to build that is almost the same price is pointless, and at the end of the day, the purpose of Valve is to make money.

The new price of deck OLEDs reflect the reality that even a billion dollar company can't procure hardware contracts at a reasonable price. Even Nintendo is going to be raising switch 2 price and who knows if another hike to that will come later.

I assume that after this deck price hike, the steam machine is basically dead. If Valve does go through with the release, the cost will just be too high for what it is, and people would rather just buy a console at that price point.

The AI bubble is truly ruining the hardware industry, and I know it feels like an excuse right now, but Valve has no reason to be greedy. They already make enough money from the store, and the hardware that sold has always been fairly priced. Things are just truly fucked right now.

This article sucks because it basically has absolutely no information about the study itself, but I wonder if its referencing games where women seem to be portrayed as these beautiful scantily clad goddesses. Even games like fortnite have slim women with tiny waists and big asses and this sets the expectation that this is what "a real woman" looks like.

I've seen a growing trend among young gamers who seem to only want "beautiful" people in their videogames, and while sure, we all don't want abominations for main characters, the standard of what "beautiful" means to gamers these days seems to be women with large breasts, big asses, and completely fake faces like as if they had a face filter. God forbid a game create a regular looking person as the main character without facing serious backlash from terminally online chuds. Look at games like Ghost of Yotei, Witcher, and Naughty Dog's Intergalactic for examples of what reactions you get for having "normal" looking characters.

All this is to say that the way people are portrayed in media has a profound affect on what they perceive they should look/act like in the real world. We've progressed for the last few decades in trying to cut down on the sexualization of women in media, only for it to ramp right back up again in the past few years as people praise eastern countries for making "Anti woke" games.

I figured it out, I'm not sure if this is due to the suggestion from IngeniousRocks but I switched to ProtonGE 10, deleted the compat directory for RDR2 and tried again and it finally worked!

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this, in addition to doing the same with the game files (just in case). Unfortunately it did not work :(

Here's the full log from the socialclub.log file
