There are more peppers like that, too:
poblano - ancho
chilaca - pasilla
anaheim - colorado
mirasol - guahillo
serrano - chile seco
bola - cascabel
Also related: green, yellow, orange, and red bell peppers are all the same pepper, just various stages of ripeness. Guess I had my own dumb moment in this thread. Not sure where I read my take, but the reply to mine is correct.
Agree on both points. It’s nice to have options. I think the real fun will begin when Valve opens SteamOS up for other platforms, so it can be put on these higher-end handhelds, and even desktops.
I also like how they try to stay within a certain price range and focus on experience and efficiency, rather than push the latest hardware.
Early access isn’t necessarily different from a beta version, it’s just the name of the program used by devs to generate some revenue and get feedback during development. The game can be in alpha or beta or whatever.
Personally, I avoid games in early access on principle (with a couple exceptions) as I would rather play them once they are completed.
A lot of devs already do this. That’s what Steam Early Access is for. Now, whether or not the devs actually listen to feedback is a different story…
What is or isn’t immersive is subjective, for sure. As far as a UI goes, some people may think that having a UI with too many elements or taking up too much space can detract from actually experiencing the game and its environments.
I didn’t say anything about actually believing you are the character. Immersion doesn’t have anything to do with deception and is more about being engrossed or deeply involved with something. You can be immersed in other things too, like a tv show, book, or tabletop game.
I think it’s less about being “tricked” into believing you aren’t actually playing a game, and more along the lines of having the mindset that you are actually playing as your character. It’s more like the difference between performing tasks, going from A to B, and checking boxes on a list, versus actually feeling like you’re going on an adventure.
I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I’m getting my hopes up.
I’m right there with you. I’m bummed to hear this news, but would much rather wait a year than have it release this year and be hot garbage.
The Epic v Google lawsuit is bringing to light a lot of interesting tidbits of info, so I think it’s just that. It’s an interesting tidbit, but not really relevant to much outside the trial. That said, I do like seeing this kind of info shared, as it gives us a peek behind the curtain of these megacorps’ operations.
I can tell folks here didn’t read the article. These talks were in 2018, when Stadia was still a thing.
Last year’s TGA was somewhat exciting because they gave away a bunch of Steam Decks. I normally just see the winners posted the next morning, along with any new game trailers.
A large big-box store and the line wasn’t single file. A lot of people were in small groups as well. I could be misremembering since it’s been years, but there were maybe 2-300 people.
I attended the Switch release at my local Best Buy. I decided to swing by after work on a whim (I work evenings) and managed to snag a sheet to reserve a copy. There were probably a few hundred people in line, but nothing crazy like the line wrapping around the store or anything.
I’d say find a youtuber or streamer who has similar tastes to you and follow them. Personally, I follow SkillUp and ACG.

Take this with a grain of salt, but a few years ago, I remember a discussion in /r/overwatch where someone said they practice sniping by playing osu.
It’s not illegal, but the airline could cancel your return ticket and/or blacklist you.
I got Fallout 1 and 2 in a 2-pack for $10. This was back in the early '00s before the others were released. I loved those games so much.
Yeah, seems you’re correct. Not sure where I got my take from, probably something I read a while ago. Thanks for correcting me.
