It sure came in a lot of packaging!

IIRC, it wasn’t a terrible game. It just wasn’t a unique enough game to compete in the space. Just another hero shooter. Just another live service. And thus it failed to meet overinflated expectations. Sony didn’t give it any time to grow or adapt.

Sony went all in on live service games, expecting them to all do gangbusters and to do so for forever. Their high expectations are slipping and failing to be met with Destiny. They bought Bungie for live service games too.

Oh, and Marathon. That one is in a precarious spot. Being delayed after an unexpectedly rough public beta.

I’m aware of Valve being very generous with warranty/replacements of controller hardware for the Index. Even years after the warranty is up. But I think this is because of the major durability issues and known defects that the Index Controllers have.

In any case, Valve seemingly has lost money on a certain percentage of Valve Index kits/controller hardware. Based on how many people I know, including myself, who have gotten replacement hardware from Valve. Sometimes many times for recurring issues.

But I’m not aware of Valve doing the same for the Deck.

Edit: and you can tell they focused really hard on making the new controllers more durable:

• No charging port to melt
• durable sticks that won’t start drifting
• No special finish on the controller that can be worn/scratched away
• No internal battery to go bad
• seemingly far fewer delicate parts

Funny point on the melting charging port. 2 years or so after the Index came out, SteamVR started warning using with a status dialog that told users to stop charging their controllers while they use them. They never accounted for long play sessions and people who would want to charge while playing.

USB-C has durability issues when used like that.

But they made Google dance, right? Maybe that’s all Satya Nadella needed out of it.

Steam is flooded with indie games, yeah.

I did the same! But never got caught.

I would take the txt guides for RPG games and print them on the laser printers at my high school.

I saved paper by printing them 4 sheets to a single page.

Oh, so don’t use unique passwords? Sure buddy.

Keychain should work in both now. (iCloud passwords)

Stuffing? Just in time for the holiday season!

Five year olds know how a store works.

Five year olds won’t figure out how to pirate a game.

They make so much money on their games. I don’t understand why they have to be like this.

Happy healthy employees will just take these amazing games to the next level. WTF.

Aliens are so hot right now.

I ordered (from Amazon) a new inexpensive stand/shelf thing that came with “fabric” “drawers.” One of those black metal and faux wood deals. And I had to throw out the “drawers” because they were off gassing something nasty.

Nasty chemicals and petroleum products.

The thing is, you need to make proper PDFs with properly structured content with proper metadata for screen readers to be able to access the content in the PDF in a logical and sane way. This is what the OP is tasked to do, and why they are looking for help. So I’m not sure what you mean by “try just using screen readers.”

I’m dealing with this right now too.

My advise is to ditch the PDFs where possible, and go with HTML documents. They are far easier to make accessible. The down side is you can’t easily pass them around in a self contained way that isn’t a bit wonky compared to a PDF or DOCX. But if you just link to them in a course, or otherwise expect students to just access them in a browser, HTML pages can work well.

PDFs have always been a nightmare, and the new accessibility rules are making thousands of people in education finally realize that.

Some of these look not unlike anime characters posted in various lemmy subs.

Did you do well on the test?

1000x!

Is this like medical articles about major cancer discoveries?

From Microsoft’s POV, it probally breaks the ToS.
