  • Kind of impossible when a company like Valve has hardware purchasing power which means RAM and NVME are bought at a less absurd price.

    It’s also worth mentioning that you can’t really upgrade a Steam Machine down the line when it starts to feel underwhelming in a couple years, given its 8GB VRAM/RDNA3 architecture. I wouldn’t say it’s overpriced but I wouldn’t say it offers much value either. It just has quirks (software & formfactor).

  • So the estimated 8781 people with the Guillemot name and others with the variations “Guilaume, Guillaume, Guilaum, Guillamauax, Guillemot, Guillaumie, Guillaumes, Guillaumaud, Guillaumaut, Guillaumard, Guillaumart, De Guillaume” are all evil slaver beneficiaries?

    I just can’t find anything else on the lineage or where the Ubi Guillamot-brothers’ parents’ wealth came from.

  • I don’t find soulslike games to be slow, but that may just be a result of me being used to the controls and therefore having a lot more agency of what my character does.

    What I will offer as an actual rebuttal is this: the committal nature of slower movement and attacks really forces you to identify the right approach for a situation. Same reason why I prefer Greatsword/Hammer in older Monster Hunter games. You reach a point where your character looks like they’re demolishing enemies in a relatively effortless manner, but only because the player understands exactly what needs to be done.

    The initial challenge is pattern recognition and strategy, the long-term challenge is consistent execution.
