Several months and the 8 minutes probably lead to confusion. You haven’t my answer yet. Why do you speak like an orc in third person?

Why do you write like an orc? Is there an rpg reason for this? Or is this something personal I am totally missing?

“I” is gender neutral no?

As for your actual question, steam is insanely flexible with refunds, but you’re pushing it with a request 7.5months after the generous 14days.

There not doing a very good job of locking people in tbh. Basically all software runs fine on windows.

Its an absolute non issue to run non MS apps on windows.

Replying from Ubuntu (distro of the month for me) though, so I know other. I wouldn’t say better, just different

Windows is perfectly fine for day to day use. 80% of my PC use (and probably 99% for like most people I know) is in a browser. The remaining 20% is in video games. My browser works 100% the same in Linux as it does in Windows. Video games overall are easier to use in Windows. (I use Steam (90% fine with Linux) and Gamepass, which does not play well with Linux).

But feel free to continue to complain about windows :)

I love how the lemmy FoSS Linux hivemind still down votes you to almost oblivion.

They still haven’t figured out this isn’t reddit. Shouldn’t downvote just because you don’t agree with something my dudes…

You don’t have a separate 100% anonymous steam account to use in case of having to fake your death? Your loss tbh…

Tbh anyone claiming they can’t see the difference between 1080 and 4k on a monitor at a normal viewing distance is being disingenuous or has vision problems. The difference is very very noticeable.

That being said, I find the step from a 60hz to a 120hz monitor a bigger qol improvement than going from 1080 to 4K. But that’s my personal opinion.

I assume you help and financially support your instance of choice to help them with server costs? Video platforms are much more expensive to host than text platforms like mastodon or lemmy.

Tbh, if you’re that nervous about crossing the border with data, I’m sure you could find other ways to use the internet and decent encryption (behind multiple layers and/or people with a Deadman’s switch if you’re really paranoia and worried a judge will force you to unlock the precious 4mb worth of information) to protect your data when crossing a border.

Or probably even safer if you’re talking about just 4mb of data: send it from a random address in one country to a postbox in your destination or something by post. Tampering with mail carries a pretty heavy fine in most countries, chances a random postman opens a random envelope to a random address abroad are basically non existant. Security through obscurity.

I like reading about infosec, but some of it borders on absolute paranoia tbh :)

In what world is paying 40usd for a game and 3x 30usd for 500h of entertainment not a good deal? (not particularly aimed at you, but at dlc haters in general)

I am glad when they release a dlc. I get more great content. They get some more financial support.

I am 100% against cheap cash grabs. I am 100% pro multiple well made extentions for a game that allow me to support the studio.

Just a few dlc/expansion packs that were totally worth their money

All Rimworld expansions.

Diablo 3 reaper of souls/ D2 lord of destruction

The witcher blood and wine (?)

Ballad of gay tony

Star craft ones

Red alert yuris revenge

Horizon zero dawn frozen wilds

Etc… There are good expansions that are totally worth their money and add to the overall game.

That being said, I’m not a huge dlc fan and rarely spend money on them if they don’t really add to the game. More partial to spend on dlc for smaller studio games rather than large ones.

Fuck… New rimworld expansion about to drop…

World of warcraft and rimworld.

Rimworld fortunately can be paused, so causes less family stress.

Not sure why I keep playing wow, have played it on and off since launch and have enjoyed it, even with all it’s flaws. Get sucked in for a few really intensive weeks after every major patch… My wife hates the game with an absolute passion.

Oh man, “did you want to hear this again?” Every single fucking time I would be mashing a to get through his dialog and press yes by accident. Every time…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case

You finished the gta 5 campaign in 10h? You just speedran it once?

If not, nice hyperbole…

(rdr2 campaign was also more than 10h, to name a recentish Rockstar game) . Many other big AAA titles aside from cod also have campaigns that last longer than 10h.

I’d argue I got my 60usd worth of content out of the single player. I can understand they focused on MP for further content.

Gta5 had a shitty single player experience? Did we play the same game? Wtf?or rdr2, another Rockstar game?

Shit on Rockstar all you want, but their game have entertaining stories…

Sounds about how long it took me. Was a pretty shitty campaign tbh. No cool big over the top action scenes like in previous mw games. By far the worst campaign in recent memory.

If you can handle breaking the Geneva code, rimworld. If you add mods, the sky becomes the limit tbh. Only your imagination will stop you.

Oh yeah, ofcourse. No discussion there. But one can dream :)

My local hardware store ships to my house for a very reasonable fee.

Blame shitty public transport networks :(

You don’t need a car everywhere. Most non US developed countries have a robust public transport network. A car is actually less practical than public transport for like 90% of use cases if you live in Metropolitan areas. Same for tourism. Don’t need a car to go visit Paris. Jump on a local tgv and be in center Paris just a few hours later from most of western Europe. Why would you bring a car…

Decent stuff. From an EU pov, pretty standard though. Aside from the vesting period. That’s pretty sweet.

Could you share some? I’d be interested to see how they stack up to eg Google, ms or any of the other large tech companies.

Full agree with this. I’ve used many different buds, linkbuds s are by far my favorite. The fit is excellent, they are very discreet visually and they sound great. Battery life is perfect, anc is great etc. I really cannot think of a single negative about them.

I’ll believe it when I see it. There’s new battery tech every other week. 99,9% never goes anywhere

Pretty sure it’ll be the latest God of war when it finally releases for PC somewhere next year?

Rimworld with mods can basically turn in whatever game you want. There is no limit
