Many of their games do have native linux versions, and a lot do work under wine or proton, which can be used as a Non-steam game in Steam or even without Steam.

Their launcher doesn’t yet have a native linux version but it’s completely optional, and does still run under wine if you really want it.

It’ll most likely work through proton.

Why would they, Xbox uses a version Windows and an x86 core + AMD GPU, bog standard parts, bog standard system, it’s easier to tap into the windows component on an x86 system and just use that to run the games. Making a proper emulator for games that would otherwise run on the PC natively just wouldn’t make sense.

It’s worth mentioning that the mod could stop working with future updates of the game, however.

That’s why it would be good if somebody had the source code, not just a backup of the mod. Available source code will allow somebody else to tweak it or more easily make a better one in case Sony tries to break it.

I blame the news outlets for making it public and screaming from the rooftops that they were bypassing it.

We should put our efforts and energy towards fighting back against the companies that do this and not against each other. Pointing fingers at each other doesn’t do anything.

These companies have their own intelligence divisions whose job it is to find out about projects like this. They don’t find out about it from the news they find out about it from their intelligence divisions long before it becomes popular.

If anything projects like this being popular is better for them because it means people like us can copy them and redistribute them faster than they can issue takedowns.

If anything I would say that this mindset is exactly what these companies want, they want these projects to be obscure and copied by very few people so when they issue the takedown, it’s not saved by anybody else. They also would prefer it over the retaliation that some people might do to them, I mean just look at what people are doing to Rockstar right now. They would rather we fight with each other, then fight back against them. They are the enemy and they always have been, the sooner we realize it the better.

I looked around and there do seem to be backups out there, would suggest people download them and reupload them. Same way was done when they tried to go after YouTube-dl.

True, I guess one could say that in a way they were correct in that it is technically still a dream to work at a company like EA, just a very bad, very hellish dream. Possibly made much worse by the self-gaslighting (and regular gaslighting) making them think it’s actually a good dream, makes it even worse because you don’t try to escape it because you convince yourself and are convinced by others you have it good when in reality, you don’t.

Ah I remember when people would tell me that working in the video game industry is a dream, then those same people would complain to me about working long hours for no extra pay (crunch) to finish a game before the deadline.

Yeah that totally sounds like a dream job, it’s so great you have to sleep in the office and you don’t get paid for that extra work /s

People will deny this but this is the only real reason for doing that. The other reason is copying apple, which isn’t really another reason as apple removed it for the first reason. Fairphone just went the extra mile to claim that headphones are wasteful, in essence they’re making an excuse to cover up their reason why and also trying to force others to do it as well.

That’s probably the reason why version instances disable downvotes. At least they aren’t counted against users like they are on Reddit with Timeouts, removals, and shadowbans.

Sometimes you might want some variety, like you might want to go on vacation to some exotic places.

Animal crossing certainly isn’t the worst one to be stuck in but the limited nature of it quickly becomes apparent since you can’t really ever leave the island (you can visit other islands, but you can’t move there and you also can’t visit the mainland).

Probably finish all of my builds and farms, build a lot of new and awesome builds before eventually begging for help from the other members of the server at least assuming I’m trapped in that world specifically, if I can go to others it might be a bit longer before I try to get help.

I don’t believe in that at all, human lives and the feelings associated with them are finite, the appreciation of art lasts as long as the canvas does which can be hundreds to thousands of years depending on what it is. The feelings they feel as the artist aren’t significant on that time-frame and whatever respect I have for them is irrelevant in that context. I believe in preservation even against the will of creators because it benefits future generations, for the same reason historical knowledge does and their feelings today do not.

People have told me I’d feel different if it was my art but not really (I find that argument incredibly presumptuous and condescending which is why I’m acknowledging them here before anyone has the chance to make them as some kind of comeback), I recognize the value of art and the fact that just like these other artists I won’t be around forever either.

Just started Watching it and also starred it.

Very nice, do you have a GitHub where we could follow the project?

I’ve heard that it’s considered click fraud and that the advertisers sometimes Force the site to pay them back possibly a little bit extra as a fine.

Not too sure though. Personally I don’t really use it because the adblocking structure I have set up isn’t really compatible because it has multiple layers. I block the ads over the network through a network-wide firewall, I also block them through portmaster on my computer, and finally I have uBlock Origin in my browser. I also have adnauseam alongside of it and I turn off ublock origin for the sites that I want to autoclick ads on but almost none make it through the multilevel network filtering.

More specifically I would recommend adnauseam since it’s extra punishing to aggressive advertisers by clicking the ads automatically.
