Epic loses money

If you think Epic doesn’t think they are coming out ahead of this, ultimately at the expense of game-buying consumers, you haven’t thought things through as much as they have.

It’s not free if you have to use Epic

You don’t necessarily start losing people. Every commercial medium is like this. Seeking commercial success comes with an avalanche of self-censorship and cargo cultism. You’re casting the widest possible net and the product that you produce is only evaluated in terms of revenue. Unfortunately, certain kinds of really bad art sell very well.

Edit: …

Thanks for visiting. Don’t stay so long next time.

Christmas isn’t even still a thing.

Nice job getting Invidious to embed and stream in Lemmy

Isn’t it enough for you simply to not participate? What’s your actual problem with other people doing it?

Ahh, I’d love to tell you, but it would spoil the surprise.

boop, boop, boop, BEEEEEEP

We can be friends.

there are thousands of government-granted monopolies where they are literally the only thing

If you consider X-Plane n as n approaches infinity, it becomes indistinguishable from a subscription model.

Ah, that bastion of social responsibility. If the only thing I know about someone is that they are on Twitch, I’m probably not motivated to learn a second thing about them. One can say Twitch > 4chan > Stormfront, but it’s a pretty shallow gradient.

Whenever I see a pepe, I assume it’s someone who at least doesn’t mind being confused for a terrible fucking person.

I’m not sure why steams VAC ban system isn’t more popular. As in accounts need to be flagged as a whole when cheating in just one game is found.

Presumably because this opens players to significantly damaging abuse from server operators. Players aren’t the only ones who fuck around.

When I was at my peak effectiveness in Urban Terror, I could hold my own against them…

Intel silicon has historically had a lot of “bugs”…

And let all those backdoors just walk away?

So the ledger will continue to grow and grow and grow until it’s so large that it’s unmanageable, slow as shit, and just garbage to try to use/work with.

So, exactly like a physical ledger…

Evert artist’s effort is mostly wasted. Audiences are awful, stupid, fickle, timid people who don’t deserve or are capable of fully appreciating anything beyond New Country.

This is getting silly. Every time you bring this up, I’m going to bring up the fact that the only other person who was involved in that little spat was you. And now, you’re the only one, because the other guy got on with his life, but you can’t.

This was such a small event, but it seems to fucking define you to this day.

Remember when a computer could make you cry?

The advantage of a neural AI, in my mind, isn’t that it is better. It is that it is worse in a way that is fun.

Oh wow, all this time I had conjoined “V Rising” and “Vampire Survivors” into the same concept. I’ve been so confused… Especially considered I played V Rising!!

MASTER BOOT RECORD!!!

I feel like it was the “test” part…

It appears our erstwhile whistle blower had his ego more than a little involved in this dispute, and still bears some bad feelings.

You have met trans people. It isn’t in every source of media. You are experiencing warped perceptions. Show this post to someone you trust.

It is genuinely pretty obscene. You can’t “offset” this kind of behaviour.

Now, now. What would Marx say about that?

The steam deck wasn’t even a sketch on paper when Valve started pushing Linux. It’s been their route forward into all forms of hardware. I’m sure it’s not long before we get a stand alone VR headset that runs Linux, which seems to me to be the real goal. The Deck was just a step along the way.

Bethesda Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft and Epic

Line forms behind me!

Much like the nuclear forces, it only works within a certain range. Not enough principle and the economy collapses before you can snowball. Too much and the economy collapses because you snowball.

I’m not busy…

sixteen (0-F), but yes.

I choose to believe that Gabe’s will bequeaths Steam to a cohort of independent non-profits and co-ops which will each be charged with attempting to continue to elevate gamers and gaming according to Gabe’s 1,200 page manifesto.

for the love of god and gaming, please don’t buy ubisoft games
