First search result for

Especially because the US gov has indirectly admitted to being concerned about pro palestine “propaganda” on tiktok. So its not even a conspiracy theory

Epic doesnt give games away. They give temporary licenses to games away which they can always take from you. Epic uses this to get people onto and dependent on their platform so they can then extract money from them. GOG has no way to extract money from people like that and has no leverage against their customers.

With GOG you can download all game files to your local storage and play them even if GOG goes to shit. Thats the difference. But yes Steam is the same as Epic in that regard.

And thats exactly why Epic is untrustworthy. Its like a shady guy on the corner saying “Hey i will give you 500 bucks if you just do this easy little thing for me. Will be done right away no worries”.

This feels like preperation for enforcing backdoored chat apps to me. The EU has been pushing for this for years now and eventually it will happen. When the time comes it will most likely come with laws that force google to make sideloading impossible to prevent people from using backdoor free apps.

All while other parts of the EU are actively supporting sideloading and FOSS. Its such a clown world we live in.

The niche isnt there because its not really practical. No consumer device can run modern high poly 3D structures with full physics simulation in real time. There is a reason why the only physics sim games are very low poly. And even those are performance hungry despite custom engines.

Realistic physics for realistic looking scenes is something that you give to a renderfarm that will throw 100+ times more compute at it than the most expensive consumer GPU on the market.

Imagine if he was the only dev and with this he is just telling us that he doesnt give a fuck about deadlines and will treat himself well. :D

Come back when you can argue without the “but the kids” line of thinking.

From a technical standpoint voice unlock is also quite bad, even worse than fingerprints. Just generally using biometrics as a key is a fundamentally flawed concept. Biometrics should be used instead of usernames if anything. They are identifiers not secrets.

I just want the hybrid functionality of

long password for first boot + pin for unlock.

Why is this still not a thing, its the ultimate secure combo. Paired with autoreboot after no unlock for X hours its perfect. Fingerprint for unlock is just fundamentally shit.

Yeah honestly i have previously considered just taping a raspberry pi to a portable touch screen and a powerbank and use that instead of a phone with how shitty phones are getting. Fairphone + Calyx is what stopped me from going down that route tho.

They just don’t like people playing their games

Because they dont even sell most of their games anymore at this point

Explain. Throwing money at an unfixable problem doesnt magically make it fixable. Any conceivable piece of anticheat software or hardware can be circumvented as long as it is running clientside.

Even if you fully controlled the computer running the game, there are already external cheat system that use the video output to give you aimlock by taking control over the input devices.

There is no functional anti cheat system. Its an inherently unsolveable problem as long as there are private computers that are not under full company/state surveillance. This is what consoles try to be but those suck ass.

Yeah i was about to ask that. If they just took all amounts below 100 for themselves that would be super fucked up and probably illegal.

Yeah my bad thats what i meant. They could be sued but not successfully. If the biggest modding platform doesnt fight back then there is little hope outside of decentralized platforms, but preaching to the choir on lemmy with that one…

I doubt they could be sued over this at all.

Nexusmods has always been cucked about this sort of thing. I cant blame them but its still sad to see.

Looks like a full sized tablet with side mounted controls

Very pretty if i might add

I hope the leakers werent stupid enough to post the leaks through a clearnet account

Oof that sounds rough. Maybe the EU custumer service is run different. I never had any major issues with all the lenovos i used or set up for other people. Thinkpads and legions alike. But when i did have a family member break something, it was repaired (not replaced) in a matter of a few weeks without any warranty hassle.

But generally the quality of all things lenovo has definitely gone done in recent years for sure. I would recommend framework but those are not cheap and not really for gaming.

The lenovo legion series gaming laptops have been good in my experience. They also have fully AMD ones nowadays too i think. (If you are on linux that is a plus)

Not to ruin your fun but i think thats how most game achievement distrubtions look like. The further into the game the achievement, the less people will have played long enough to get it.

The remaining 10% being games that exist solely for the purpose of being interactive porn.

And it already has 20% out of the required 1 million signatures.

They hated jesus…

I was initially mainly interested in it, because it was made with the open source godot engine which i use. I havent started playing it yet, but i have really liked what i have seen and heard elsewhere. It does seem to eventually run out of replayability but as this post claims that should be somewhat alleviated by the latest update.

And its on -60% sale which is why i finally bought it yesterday :)

Also maybe cops, soldiers and security guards.

Oh nice, even better ^^

Do you know what an FTP server is? If so then you can probably figure out how to use “Material Files” for this. Otherwise this might be a bit too complicated for me to explain right now.

If you figure it out, its really cool tho. Once set up you will basically have a “folder” in your windows file explorer that will show everything thats on your phone. You can then copy paste stuff between your PC and that folder(your phone)

I love syncthing, its basically like a personal P2P cloud thats beginner friendly. It automatically syncs selected folders between any number of devices, but you need to have it installed on both devices. I have this set up to always sync my pictures, music and password vaults between my devices. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.nutomic.syncthingandroid/

If you want to just transfer files and not keep them synchronized then i would recommend the file manager “Material Files” instead. It comes with a built in FTP server that you can use to access your phone over the local network from your PC. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/me.zhanghai.android.files/

Both are available on F-Droid and Google Play, but i recommend getting F-Droid if you dont have it yet. Its a great alternative store for open source apps. https://f-droid.org/en/

What OS do you have installed on your desktop/laptop?

There is just 0 competition at the current steam deck price point.

Nothing. Let the boring people enjoy their boring games made by soulless corporations. Just leave the indie scene alone :)

Missed that one lol

I think he was making lighthearted fun of you for misspelling stake.

This just looks like insane compression levels + some weird AI upscaling artifacts.

Found it when i was getting into Godot and was looking for games that were made with it. It really is a cute game, super simple base mechanics but really nice design and progression.
