What happened exactly?

KDE, because it’s familiar yet customisable. Gnome is just too strange for me, and doesn’t seem to allow me to un-strange it.

I have a friend who plays, and they suggested that maybe putting it right onto gamepass – allowing Johnbro McFuck to download it, get lost in a cloud, crash into the ocean and never play again – during the launch window might not have been a great idea.

Not ready for PSN requirement on DS1…

I feel like Samsung works better for Crusader. RSI would be the early gen android with the trackball. :P (RSI is my favourite manufacturer, btw)

If they let it cook this time it could be good… human kissing aside.

A laudable goal. Can they pull it off, tho?

I don’t have VR so I haven’t played that one.

Oooo! Thanks! That’s way more interesting.

It feels like we only just recently got the HL1 fan remake done, and now we have what I assume is a HL2 remake?

Streaming the game is never gonna be viable for me because of where I live, even if I wanted it, and I very much don’t. But then I don’t care for the kind of competitive games where what hardware you run on makes that much difference, anyway.

I don’t think we need “the best”. Just to be able to detect and ban the egregious offenders would be enough.

I will say we agree on one thing; competitive games should not be taken as seriously as they are. But then I’m of the controversial opinion that esports made gaming worse.

Client-side anti-cheat is effectively pointless in the long run. The software is running on a machine the devs do not control, and ultimately that means it cannot be trusted. They should be working harder on server-side detection, but that requires work not just buying a product and dusting your hands off…

Yeah, I was all like “Wait, Telltale still exists?”

I’m pretty sure no card can conjure me into existence, no matter how many or few lines of text they have… :P

The only real difference is being fairly certain that anything you buy on GOG will be DRM-free, since that is their stated policy and they offer the standalone installers for download. Granted they also offer a launcher like Steam, and if you’re only using that then you’re no better off; if a game gets delisted and you don’t have the installers archived you may be out of luck, depending on the details.

That said you are right, the problem is the laws and the publishers. But getting access to those offline installers certainly doesn’t hurt, in the meantime.

They should. They don’t really have a good track record for quality, but the first step is trying.

The point of use flags is to make it so if you don’t want to print, every package that would otherwise pull in CUPS as a dependency can be compiled without it. Stuff like that.

Gentoo also has a good system for handling multiple concurrent installs of different versions of some packages, e.g python.

If there’s software you want to install from source that uses automake it’s pretty simple to build your own package for it.

Very much a system for doing things your way, and a good way to learn linux IMO. To that end, no there is no installer, but the process is not that complex. Boot a live USB, partition and format a drive, download and extract a base system, install a kernel (there is a fits-most-needs one available now), install a bootloader. Reboot into your new system and continue installing what you need from there.

Not for me, I fear. If I’m playing a turn based game I don’t want there to be reflex challenges.

Google search is still better than bing, somehow. Gmail is good for signing up to stuff I don’t want mailing my protonmail. Google maps is still genuinely useful. Youtube is, for now, still better than any alternative I know about. I don’t see what’s wrong with Pixel phones.

Don’t get me wrong, google is evil now and I don’t like it. But I don’t know any better alternatives for those things. Mm, except gmail, I could replace that I guess but it’s such a pain.

Whichever you prefer. There is no correct way.
