Not remotely comparable, but sure, if you are like many here already a hobbyist PC gamer, you probably rather want a Steam Deck.
The strength of life to face oneself has been made manifest. The persona Carighan has appeared.

Yeah me neither. I really did not need user screaming to muddle the clarity of my review aggregator.
Ah yeah I forgot how everyone consumes their game ratings by release date, not by game. My bad.
I don’t get it.
How is that a problem to people wanting to work on or work with Bitwarden? Or am I misunderstanding the wording on it?
It just seems to say that you cannot rip this SDK out to use it on something else. Which makes sense as far as an internal library goes, at least on the surface?
I’ll be honest, Below Zero was… mighty fine?
It was super disappointing in many regards, sure. But only compared to the extremely lofty heights of Subnautica. Years later, Below Zero is still easily the second-most-atmospheric survival game I’ve played. It’s huge problem - that the on-land sections don’t work in how they were shown before release and were clearly intended because access to heat is way too readily available and easy to trivialize - cuts deep into it since it takes a huge chunk of atmosphere out (and the on-land part looks pretty bad, it was clearly relying on the terror of having to warm up again quickly). But, even with that, the water parts close the wound up. Deep Arctic is even worse thalassophobia than the crater edge in the first game!
Sure, it’s disappointing and meh compared to the first game, but that’s just a too high bar to clear. I’d advise to not expect this game to clear it, either. Like you said, Subnautica 1 was kinda lightning-in-a-bottle. Compared to a 100/100, even a 98/100 would feel disappointing. 💡
Yeah I kinda hope they just go for full atmosphere solo, and say “fuck it” if people want to play it MP it’ll ruin the terror anyways.
That is, optimize the mechanics to work both solo and MP, but optimize story and atmosphere solely for solo play.
This game has 4-player co-op. Hence the second player being shown. They talked about that a long time ago that SN2 will be MP.
It’s happening!!! 🤩
Trailer looks decent enough. Seems to lean strongly into the horror elements, which might be overdone, but also, it’s kinda what Subnautica 1 made a splash with, how strongly it triggered thalassophobia before munching you as a giant sea snake.
… And still could bit fix that some keys are hardcoded. But I agree, with expansion the game was quite enjoyable.
I would have said I can’t be any more disappointed with this company, wow.
Ah yes, I hate being butchered that way, too. It sucks hard to be paid to leave before you get paid extra to start your next job elsewhere.
And don’t get me wrong, if the C-suites actually ever had to take actual responsibility for their fuck-ups, I’d be all for those board investigations. But they don’t. They get paid enough to not care about interims between jobs - just look at the CEO who said people can just spend a year on the beach or so if they’ve been laid off - plus they get paid extra both on the leaving and on the re-hiring.
If they had to pay all non-salary money back on fucking up, even retroactively, no matter how many Porsches they’d have to liquidate to get the money from X years of fucking up the company back, sure. Do it. But that’s just sadly not the case. For a C-suite, this just means changing what name is written under your name, and moving on to the next place you can grift.

So after immediately getting it and going through a few settlements, wow did this patch break my muscle memory hard.
I was panicked-looking for my Geyser Pumps and my Rain Collectors. (they’re under gathering now)
The new stuff seems all awesome. Fishing Huts are an interesting change of pace since you can haul in the nets early but that instantly depletes the node. Frogs are fascinating and a giant headache, being unable to be housed in non-specialized homes. The change on Foxes to no longer be rainwater-specialized makes the races feel more balanced. The new recipe combinations are weird as hell (again, all muscle memory gone) but seem balanced so far.
All very nice. Am impressed.
It cannot be front and center and normal at the same time.
Why not? If it’s normal, any possible identity and any possible element will be front and center every so often, no? That’s what normality means after all? Something has to be front and center, and if everything is normal, everything will appear there repeatedly?
So this then begs the question, why are people decrying games as “woke” trying so hard to push their political agenda into gaming discussions? After all, as per point 1 + point 3, the game was already criticized/panned anyways, then someone came in and tries to push the critique onto a political level instead of a game one.
But like you say, if you want to normalize it, shouldn’t it be front and center then? Since that’s part of being normal, also being front and center?
So “woke” means all of the following together, trying to summarize:
Did I sum that up correctly?
It’s a very overused and absolutely terrible use of a word.
For two reasons:
To think it further, consider the whole headline had been slam-ified:
Dragon Age GOATs slam “woke” lollerz: “Cry moar!”
Because things like black protagonists with hip-hop music in the background make no sense in a feudal japanese setting and people are sick of games being abused as vehicles for morality preaching.
But games about dudes in medieval-looking sci-fo power armor stomping around WW1-styled soldiers do?
And that doesn’t preach any morals? But a black guy in a samurai setting does? How come one does, but the other does not?
Also…
An example from borderlanfs two could be Sir Hammerlock, who was introduced as a normal (for borderlands) character early on and later in a side quest was revealed to be gay in passing.
Maybe don’t make it as readily apparent how much you internalized gayness being abnormal. Telling. You wouldn’t write sentences like this if that wasn’t a normal thought process for you, since you did probably not have to actively consider your wording.
No I did not, you seemingly want a by-date system for the site, which feels quite a bit weird considering how people usually use review sites. Hence the prod at your comment. Basically, adding a site like opencritic to an RSS-reader makes no sense, and I say this with someone running multiple custom filters over nearly 120 subscriptions for my daily news dose.
