I wouldn’t quite go so far as to say it’s gone “mainstream” since you still have to be moderately nerdy to know about it. I get your point though. This is one of the reasons I am so happy the Steam Deck exists. Before Valve released the Steam Deck nobody wanted to make games for Linux, so Valve said “fuck it, we’ll do it ourselves” and proved it was not only possible, but a better experience overall. While not all games work, having 78-80% of your game library work on Linux, with no Windows OS performance tax, is a great experience. Even with the Proton compatibility layer games generally run faster than on Windows.

To add to what you are saying, I wish they would make that message clearer. The first time I saw it, I thought they were still going to charge me for the extra copy and just not give it to me. Still not 100% sure about it.

Can we stop calling these glorified chat bots “AI” now?

My point was that you have to choose which is more important. Is helping people RIGHT NOW important to you or is helping people in the future, sometimes in a more LASTING way, more important. Sometimes the message is more important, but that won’t always also also help people who are struggling right now. If you want to help people right now then it is better to go through the proper channels so bullshit laws can’t slow you down.

It’s only illegal to do so if you don’t have proper qualifications, which you can easily pay for. Of course, that’s not punk, but not everything has to be punk if your intention is helping others.

This is the most unexpected return of the whole roster.

Holy shit, are we really at the point where people don’t know what simile and metaphor are?

Before I read the whole thing I was about to go on a fanboy rant about Teddy. Im glad I read the post before I did that.

Letting Selen leave when she requested on the 26th would have been better as well.

This isn’t even mentioning all of the sponsors pulling out as well as the talents bleeding subs (which I don’t like). These two things WILL directly affect their bottom line.

Bold of you to assume I can control how my body moves while I’m asleep.

Sounds like a skill issue. lol

Yeah, but the cables still have major standardization issues. It’s almost impossible to reliably tell if a cable can be used for power and data or just power, leading to people either thinking a cable is broken or over-spending.

I’m at work so I can’t do deep dive searching, and honestly I will probably forget about this by the time I get home, but there are other people I follow who report on this stuff, unfortunately only in podcast format, who have also talked to modders in person. All of them say mods are fine. Take that for what you will.

Why would Windows users be crying. Most users have ambivalence/hate relationship with it.

So, I don’t know how to put this, and I don’t this actually isn’t true . Not sure how this blew up, but yeah.

Four years of Trump did so much damage to our nation. We were already not doing great.

Reading this hurt me.

That’s most news today.

I think this is actually a good thing. In a perfect world exclusives wouldn’t exist and you would buy things based on their own merits. Having to buy something you don’t want because you fear missing out on a game is a horrible experience. In fact I stopped caring because I got so tired of possibly missing out on a game. It has worked out great for me this generation.
