Does the Mastodon CEO prefer content curated by the “former” CIA & Mossad agents working at Facebook? Is Mastodon censoring content?

The license is tied to playing it through the Epic store. Tried it both ways. Plays all the episodes fine playing through Epic. Only lets you play the first episode as a non-Steam game startup, even using the epic launcher as the executable.

But I play mostly on Steam link, so that doesn’t work for me. Luckily it finally came out in Steam. But that’s my last purchase from them.

If it’s free, it doesn’t hurt to grab it.

But in general, I don’t like to play through Epic anymore. The Expanse Telltale game was the last straw for me. It was an Epic exclusive for a bit. I mostly play through Steam link on different devices, and adding the Expanse as a non-Steam game would only let you play the first chapter. Nah, I’m out.

It’s not just the tactics that make it the most predatory. It’s the massive platform and promotion that it gets by being a valve product.

I’m specifically talking about CS:GO, which is the most predatory and developed by Valve to be so.

A great deal of that money comes Valve running an illegal underage casino, and getting young kids addicted to gambling.

I’ll load up Spider-man a couple times a month just to go on patrol, and stop random crimes.

Been doing this since Spider-man 2 came out on the original Xbox. Glad the new one came out, and I don’t have to chase that kid’s damn balloon anymore.

You think Skyrim didn’t live up to the hype?!!

Now it’s built in DRM on Windows 11. And it’s already breaking games.

Yeah, my sticking point isn’t the female witchers. It’s how much less powerful she is now. She was damn near a god last game.

I remember crashing my ps4 my piling up a ridiculous number of corpses during her escape scene. Just such a badass. Hurt my heart to watch her struggle in the fight in this teaser.

Thanks. Some people are Linux super fans. They don’t like to admit there’s a bad use case for it.

I take no pleasure in pointing out the deficiency. Wish I had the expertise to help fix it.

I think they’re Witcher potions. Based on her eyes, I’d guess she underwent the mutations.

I agree the “women cannot be witchers” thing always seemed sexist, but making her a witcher is a nerf more than anything. She didn’t teleport once in the teaser. A weird but welcome flip from ‘the female character didn’t earn it’ to ‘they took away everything she earned’ that we’re seeing in the social media reactions.

I don’t want Windows 11. It performs like shit. But I guarantee this will lead to sneaky upgrades.

Well there goes my strategy of turning off tpm to prevent a sneaky upgrade.

What’s the current best way to prevent an unwanted Windows 11 upgrade?

It’s OS level DRM.

Yeah, and it’s a nightmare to use with Steam link. The last epic exclusive I bought was The Expanse, but adding it as a non-Steam game to play with the link app completely screwed up the license check and locked you out of everything but the first episode.

Never again.

America’s Army was a game developed by the US military for recruitment, but was only the military’s direct and open leadership of the project that stood out in this. The more common approach is a less visible partnership where military propagandists and censors approve what’s allowed through, and exercise some narrative control to be consistent with the propaganda they’re pushing.

I mean, don’t the call of duty developers openly collaborate with the military to increase recruitment? Hollywood sure as hell does.

Great movie, btw.

Hogwarts Legacy, RDR2, Elite Dangerous, Sea of Thieves, and Spider-man.

Grabbed Hogwarts on sale, and damn I don’t get where all the (non-political) hate came from. It’s pretty solid, as far as open world adventure games go. I’m not even an HP fan, but it’s a blast.

What’s a better way to build up local manufacturing? The oligarchy says this is a good idea for solar panel & EV imports. What’s the difference?

Same, but my hours are definitely boosted by the times I’ve fallen asleep at the yoke.

It’s for OS level DRM. And I would bet some spying too.
