I’ve just checked and there are indeed UI scaling options in the menu. Up to 2x normal! So I think you’ll most likely be fine.

Everyone has been feeling the pressure of “something is about to happen” for the better part of a decade. That pressure has to vent somewhere.

I primarily play on PC and don’t have a problem with screen size. When I’ve played on the Deck I’ve found myself peering a bit at the smaller text, toolbars and item descriptions and so on, but it was all readable and my vision isn’t exactly stellar. If the Retroid has a smaller screen than the Deck though, it’s possible you could run into trouble there. I think the dev team has accounted for that with some UI size multipliers in the settings menu but I might be misremembering that. I’ll check that tonight when I’m off work and I’ll update here if I remember to.

I will start this off by saying, I don’t know jack all about the Retroids, looking it up when you asked me about it here is the first I’ve ever heard of them. But looking at the specs I think it would probably run fine. I’ve played Qud on some absolute potatoes of desktop PCs before. I feel confident it would run on the processing power of an Android phone and the Retroid 5 has a snapdragon 865 in it. It’s a good bet. Late game might lag a bit but it’s turn based so who cares.

I fucking love this game with a burning fervor that is not matched anywhere else. Qud could have been made for me personally and it wouldn’t be any more perfect than it is. I’ve been playing this game damn near ten years and I still come back to it for every single major update. I’m stoked to see the 1.0 finally release and I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

Works great on the deck and one of the primary goals for 1.0 was polishing up the controller support. I still think M+K is the superior method (I’ve been playing it like that for probably 10 years now) but Deck is totally supported.

Well lucky you, there is! Wander mode makes all factions neutral and changes XP from being granted by kills to being granted by exploration and water rituals.

the business model is just ripping people off

Right, they said that

Exanima does this.

Its a little bit half baked right now but it’s been under construction for the better part of a decade. I think the plan now is to use Exanima as a proof of concept and then pivot that technology into a “real” game. But I find it very fun in its current state and does exactly what you’re asking for.

That’s not going to make this any easier or more difficult. Conservative officials all walk in lockstep.

They conveniently forgot to define what constitutes an “official act”, meaning they can re-interpret the meaning of that on the fly in order to reward their friends and punish opponents.

The rational self interest bit isn’t what makes her a hypocrite here. RSI is a position that states you take whatever you can whenever you can, so it fits perfectly. The reason we’re calling her a hypocrite is because she spent years calling social security “immoral” only to hop right on it immediately when it became beneficial to her.

Ayn Rand: “Social security is an immoral redistribution of wealth and should be abolished. One is entitled to what they’ve earned themselves.”

Also Ayn Rand:

The US will no longer support any military action against Russia, our new commander in chief is a known Russian asset and has spoken publicly about exiting NATO.

If anything, USA will most likely remain in NATO just so they can veto Ukraine’s joining.

The slow burn lowering prices over time also maintains a bit of long term income for a maintenance team to patch and improve the game. This game is 2 years old and is getting slammed down to $5, that says to me they’re just trying to cash out on whoever is left that wants to buy it but hasn’t, and then I’d bet this game never sees an update ever again afterward.

That makes way too much sense.

The infinite growth mindset is the root of all evil

You know what, now that you mention it, you’re actually completely right. It’s the disc drive making that noise. The fans are loud, but tolerable, the disc drive is the loud one. Hot damn. I never actually put 2 and 2 together there, I just went and checked it after what you said, and yeah it’s the drive.

So, actually, I was totally wrong, and I highly doubt Sony is going to try to make the PS5P run discs, so that’s an interesting turn of events.

It’s less than six months old and has its own dedicated shelf… I did think to check that, but no, it came right out of the box being this loud.

Now that I think about it though, I haven’t seen any other PS5s in person to compare, so for all I know I just have a bad unit.

Depends on the person. I’ve been told to my face without a hint of irony that “you’re so open minded all your brains fell out”.

My PS5 already spins its fans up loud enough to drown out the TV from clear across the room, so if they expect to create a device that runs PS5 games at comparable quality and also make it handheld, I don’t foresee this device actually being usable. The fans will be louder than any speakers they’ll want to fit in there and the thing will be the size and shape of a cinderblock.

I could be wrong, and I have been before, but if I am this time I’ll be pretty surprised.

Hell, I’ll be surprised if they even have to do that. All the limiters are about to come off of every megacorp in America. Especially ones that were complicit in right wing propaganda.
