You can get a licence from Nintendo if you like.

Shouldn’t take them long to patent the concept of “game”.

Sad, unfair, infuriating, but probably true.

Yes, obviously, and you don’t typically have trouble with display drivers either nowadays, I suppose we were both jesting.

The right way to do it would probably be either to spin a dedicated partition, or to add a boot entry that sets up a dedicated environment for the game (I haven’t really thought about it but it’s probably doable). In both cases it’s a bit silly, when the whole anti-cheat thing is apparently mostly useless anyway.

In Linux you could prob just run a pass-through in a couple of VMs.

So instead of having trouble with drivers for your one GPU, you can have it with two. Awesome.

Oh, ok. That makes sense.

It’s strange that console exploits wouldn’t work consistently on identical hardware with identical firmware. What is it that makes it fail so often?

That doesn’t seem to take a lot of effort. It’s still a windows binary. And it’s unfortunately simpler than figuring out if the user runs X or not.

I’ve been running Linux on my desktop for more than 30 years, so I’ve switched for a while. And while I’d certainly like to see it become more commonplace, I’m not sure a few decimal points are really going to change anything. It’s nice that it’s making progress, of course, but all in all, it’s rather insignificant.
While it’s under 10, or more likely 15%, nobody will care about it.

You’d expect them to put profits above this kind of petty consideration. That would only be valid if the company was owned by a fairly small group.

There’s really nothing stopping anyone from posting that right now. That’s the quality level of most of the online content nowadays.

Don’t they have shareholders though?

Thanks to this mess, I ended up installing Wero.
Now I just have to find somewhere to use it… 😐

Like buying anything would actually damage the brand of Mastercard. It’s such a nonsensical excuse that I’m surprised nobody laughed in their face.

Couldn’t they just block collective shout thus probably losing far less business?

A lot of nice people aren’t especially fun. I’m not sure it’s a great metric.

Because in the US, you guys aren’t really consumers (which would give you a status), you’re merely walking and vaguely sentient (hopefully enough to click on “add to cart”) wallets that the corporations pluck money from at every opportunity. This is your legally enforced reality.

titular character looked more like 70s mom than space adventure

So more like star wars inlaws than outlaws?

It’s the only swat style game (with Ground Branch) at the moment. And it’s quite fun.

Heretic!

I thought Borderlands was lots of fun, but not four games (for now) and a movie (for now) worth of fun. Even two games was pushing it a bit. You can only stretch things out so much.

Windows is actually streamed from the MS Cloud™. Only Copilot and the Word loader run locally.

It’s just that UI designers are getting older.

Tin cans and waxed string it is!

You can connect the deck to your tv if you want a “console” experience.

Oh. Cool. Carry on then.

Honestly, I’d rather they disclose problems and fix them than just ignore them like so many others do. It’s the responsible thing to do.
Software is complicated and mistakes happen regularly.

Wait a second, what do you mean “Matrix 5”?

Don’t we have enough of those already? Are they going after the “Saw” record or what?

You probably have to return the 4gb extra then.

Maybe it has an Sd slot or something?

I’m going to save so much money by not going to the US to buy one of those… I wonder what I’ll do with all that wealth.

Don’t they do it with eggs already?

It’s just a nondescript white box, so not that much really. I cean clean it every now and then. That’s the extent of my interaction.

The nice part is you won’t have to go through all the bother of getting up and getting ready.

Just route it through your phone’s access point.

Those definitely are some pixels.

They could sell usb drives…

Maybe it’s nice on windows, but on other systems, got still relies on steam.

The other half is running linux, right?

Right?

“Did you remember to plug the server back in after vacuuming the server room?”

“Shit.” "Honey, gotta make a quick jump at the office! "
