Dune 2 at least wasn’t shareware.

Maybe had a demo though. There were a few discs that had shareware and playable demos.

Doesn’t sound like what they had, though. Especially if it had episodes 2 and 3, etc.

Yes, yes, we get it. Everything is bad, nothing is good.

I was going to say congratulations on hitting 500, and how I always enjoy these and I’ve actually learned a number of things. And stuff.

But there’s a ton of well wishers who beat me to it. So, uh, fuck you!

it used to be common

It did?

What’s that?

Jill of.the Jungle was fun

This is extremely good.

As the article mentions

…so?

That’s not an answer to the question that was asked.

Lots and lots more compatible games is probably the biggest one

No one can do anything about anything ever, sorry

Oh well then do nothing then I guess

You can also not whine when people mention it. FYI.

Also, if they said “googles” or “ddgs” I doubt you would have complained. They don’t use either of those presumably.

Did you read the article

Sadly it’s on Twitter.

That’s not how it works, but ok

I don’t have a list. Just considering that MS patents EVERYTHING I have a tough time believing they don’t have patents over DirectX things that Wine has created an implementation for, etc.

Right, they clearly don’t believe it has been worth the effort in the past. At a certain point I’ve always worried that they might.

They likely have patents on a number of things implemented in Wine/Proton. Clean-room implementation is also good, buy would cover copyright, not patent.

They mean by percentage, for one thing. And new games come out all the time.

At what point does Microsoft start suing over patents?

OK, the cacodemons got me.

Welp. I was thinkingabout buying a game from them about an hour ago. Definitely won’t now.

Does look neat

Hadn’t heard of it at all. I just skimmed a walkthrough video. It doesn’t seem bad, but I don’t play a lot of F/3PS. What makes it a “limp puppet corpse”?

(Will go look for some of the reviews though).

Yes

Steam Deck is as easy as any console, at least

I guess it depends on whether the app embeds the default browser or is hardcoded to use webview. I don’t know many apps that will trigger a load of random sites that do the latter, though.

Not if you have your default browser set to Firefox

But they lost money

I don’t say it often, but iove these posts.

There’s a special edition for $730+tax so maybe they mean that.

But starts at $380, less for return.

Why do you suspect this is good?

Aha there it is

☹️

cba

Consumer Bankers of America??

California Board of Accountancy?

Continental Basketball Association?

Collective Bargaining Agreement?

Chicago Bagel Authority?

Especially if they’re the ones footing the bill.

Additional TL;DW(but should): they also connect to EVERYTHING and how it was done is actually really impressive.

But I did
