Reply to Podcast recommendations please? by HaloForeskin

I like Hopped Up 64. Canadian podcast ostensibly about gaming and beer. They have been going for 10+ years but never got very popular. However, they're pretty active on their discord and will even play games with listeners sometimes.

Reply to comment by Bananaslamma24 in What is the argument for SBMM in casual modes for FPS games? by McTheoran

I use to be one of them. I wanted to pub stomp in the old CODs but didn’t want to admit it. Comp (other games) gave me anxiety so I’d sweat casual playlists.

The issue is that some people don’t want to lose in casual so they fight to win every match. They end up in higher ranked players casual matches because of it.

Reply to comment by SadLaser in Being forced to download extra launchers sucks. by Zephyr28572

The steam deck is linux. A lot of those launchers check for cheat stuff and os version to make sure you're not cheating. Because it's a windows program running on linux some of the launchers freak out and won't let the game run. Other launchers aren't compatible with Proton (the compatibility layer the steam deck uses) for one reason or another. Like the rockstar launcher for the first few months just couldn't be installed but eventually a workaround was found. If you literally just install windows everything is fine and runs like normal, but not in the native steam os.

Reply to If own a PS5 (not a xbox) would you get a PS5 VR2 or Xbox Series X ? by Greenzombie04

It depends on whether or not you care about any Xbox exclusive titles. If you like Bethesda games, you're probably going to want Starfield. There's also Forza and Redfall and others I can't recall. Or maybe you just want a better controller ;). But seriously if none of the exclusive content matters to you then just level up your PS5. That is the only reason to have both really.
