No, Valve, You Don't Need to Revolutionize PC Gaming

  No, Valve, You Don't Need to Revolutionize PC Gaming Valve reportedly is building a handheld PC gaming system to take on the Nintendo Switch, but do we really need another attempt at revolutionizing PC gaming? Probably not. http://libertyrp.5nx.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=143240&p=321051#p321051 Reports are once again swirling that Valve is dipping its toe into the hardware game. According to  , the PC gaming giant is currently working on a handheld PC console codenamed "SteamPal." This isn’t the first time that the company has tried its hand at making hardware, and it has seen some success with the Valve Index in the VR realm, but pretty much every other attempt at making hardware has flopped in some way. http://forum.kpn-interactive.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=72213 "There's also the biggest factor in all of this: A Steam portable wouldn't be competing against the Nintendo DS or 3DS," Rex Freiberger, a tech expert and CEO of , told Lifewire in a...

'Biomutant' Is a Fun but Flawed Open-World RPG

  'Biomutant' Is a Fun but Flawed Open-World RPG Biomutant  is ambitious and quite fun at times, but, in most cases, it fails to deliver on its ambitions and ultimately ends up feeling like a muddled mess of plot points, all of which are connected by a fragile thread. https://www.pesbox.com/showthread.php?t=6953 Biomutant  picks up years after the fall of humanity, in a time when mutated animals have taken over the lands and now reside in the remains of humanity’s great cities. Players take on the role of a ronin, a lone samurai that calls no tribe or group its own, who has returned to seek revenge on the predator that killed its family. http://lasertrace.nl/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&f=5&t=978422#pr220440 But, the story doesn’t stop there. There’s also a tribe war you’ll need to navigate and take part in and a threat against the Tree of Life—a massive tree responsible for all life on the planet. http://www.ttl.co-re.de/forum/showthread.php?tid=73789&pid=253...

Darkroom Is the Photos App Apple Should Have Made

 Darkroom Is the Photos App Apple Should Have Made The first time you use Darkroom on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’ll wonder why Apple didn’t make the Photos app this good. http://www.jersey-thing.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=91192&p=153006#p153006 Dark, because it closely mimics the layout of the built-in Photos app. But when you actually start to use it, you realize that it was designed to be used, and not just to be looked at. Darkroom is so clearly just a better, easier, more powerful version of Photos that it seems like it must have been the plan all along. I asked CEO and founder Majd Taby if that was the case.  http://lasertrace.nl/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&f=5&t=977504#pr215328 “This was actually the explicit intent. Our motivating mission statement from the earliest stages of prototyping was ‘editing workflows are inefficient, and tools are creatively limiting,’” says Taby. https://www.pesbox.com/showthread.php?t=6932 To edit an image in the Photos ap...
