  It’s basically the same.

  Just searching “Steam Controller,” minimum price $100, item location worldwide, sending to some zip code in Los Angeles (originally it was set to Germany) like 400+ listings, but less than 25 of the new controllers. All the others are the old ones, those Hori licensed Steam controllers, Steam Links, 3rd party controllers, flight sim stuff, etc. (I stopped scrolling after page 4, since the new controllers stopped very quickly).

  Shipping from Australia makes sense (which I also see), since there seems to have been not as big of an interested there. I saw posts mentioning how they casually grabbed one, hours after launch with no fuss there.

  So I checked this out, because a few people have said there are a ton of listings on ebay.

  On ebay.de, searching for “Steam Controller 2026” in the EU there are three results, along with a bunch of old controllers and unrelated stuff. ebay.com has less than 20 results (plus a bunch of unrelated stuff again).

  Where do people see all these?

  Just searching for “Steam Controller,” not changing any other filters I get 500+ results and 2k+ results, but almost all of these are the old controllers, other 3rd party controllers, Steam Links, accessories, etc. Do people just take those numbers and think there really are so many scalpers?

  I mean the games that Steam says are being infringed were developed by the dev under a different name. So they want proof, that it’s really the same dev, which I think is reasonable.

  People are always complaining about fraudulent DMCA claims and how anyone can just say they own the rights to something, but apparently doing the opposite thing also also wrong.

  PC (Steam) demo as well this time, which I’m looking forward to.

  You’re off by about a year, Season 1 came out October 2022. Seasons are also relatively short, around 8 weeks each.

  I was like you, the launch (and end of OW1) was garbage, so I had no interest in the game at all. After the new Stadium Mode launched this year, I’ve heard some chatter, that things apparently have been slowly getting better. I gave it a shot myself and have been enjoying the game a lot.

  Definitely one of the better animations. My favorite is still the one for Vampire Survivors, the Steam Deck logo is also integrated well there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's no "spyware" in Borderlands 4, Take-Two insist, following upset over terms of service⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not worth it solo for $70/70€ right now. Gameplay is still supposed to be good, and while the story is supposed to be not as cringe as 3, you still get the outdated meme references and “fellow kids” stuff.

  If you got some buddies to play coop with, maybe? Chatting on Discord, making fun of the game, usually makes everything a lot better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s been a thing for a while now. Basically all the big, modern games, that are also on current gen consoles want SSDs (some are just SSD recommended on minimum specs, but required for higher specs). BG3, Cyberpunk, many of the Playstation Studios games, some Xbox studios stuff, etc.

  Hardware Unboxed recently did a video, if the drive speed matters (mainly about PCIe SSD speed) and tested with HDDs, SATA SSDs and NVME SDDs. They found that some games will give you a notice if they detect an HDD, but almost all will still run, even if the specs say an SSD is required. Most of the time, the initial load times will be loooooong with an HDD, but otherwise the games still work, although a few had graphical glitches because of slow asset streaming. Once you get to SATA SSDs, it starts to matter a lot less, and with an NVME you just want the biggest drive for your budget (like <10% difference for the initial load times, if at all, between PCIe 3.0 and 5.0).

  I gotta come back to this game.

  I played this for a bit last year, while it was still in Early Access, and the vibes this game has are just fantastic. The look and music were just right for my tastes, it’s awesome. Gameplay wise, I didn’t find it immediately as addicting as Vampire Survivors, but still good, so I wanted to check back again after the 1.0 release, although I haven’t so far.

  There are similar projects for the old Doom releases, Doom: The Way We Remember It (also for Doom 2, TNT:Evilution and Plutonia), if you’re interested in these kinds of mods.
