Most people online seem to feel quite strongly about it.

I’m quite strongly against it. I was really happy that my Nintendo Switch Hori controller didn’t have rumble, because then I didn’t have to bother turning it off in every game.

But then again I’m odd with a lot of things. I see no difference between 60Hz refresh and 120 Hz. High end speakers mean nothing to me. Movies are all the same to me in 4K or high quality 1080p. High settings in games add nothing for me over medium graphical settings. It works out really well for me. I can buy cheap electronics that I really enjoy.

People don’t know and don’t care. Privacy isn’t an issue on anyone’s mind (just like climate wasn’t 20 years ago). People don’t know or care about digital media ownership issues.

The most important part of this is:

the vast majority of people never cared

We make our happy little bubble here to be outraged in. The world at large carries on without caring. Just in the past few years, there’s been the Reddit API change, the WhatsApp ToS change, the YouTube dislike button removal, etc etc. A small minority (like us) complains endlessly. The rest of the world shrugs and accepts enshitification.

Is Skullgirls still alive? Is there much of a player base?

Every eventuality can’t be covered by regulation. Sometimes you realise something can go disastrously wrong after someone is hurt. I wouldn’t be surprised if this never happened to other mechanical cars to never need regulation. Sometimes you need to wait for a stupid product to exist for someone to make a rule saying “stupid products shouldn’t exist”.

I’m 6 months into fulltime OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and love it. KDE is amazing. The Steam Deck converted me. Linux users rise.

It works better the way you said it, if you really want to drive the point that this will be a dead duck for sure.

Digg

The motto google lives by.

“Who’s the shit-hole country now?”

It’s on Plex on my Synology ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Good. This is how YouTube dies. This is how Google dies. This is how competitors/alternatives are born. Stop fighting to make Google services useable against every effort of theirs. Let them drive people away to make (or discover) alternatives.

No one will make money from that, so they’re not going to do it.

Someone who plays StarCraft? Now that is something I have not seen in a long time.

I used a Deck as my primary computer for 2 months while waiting for my PC parts to arrive. It worked out so well that I installed Linux on my PC when I finally put it together. The Deck’s hardware can struggle with heavy use, but it’s perfectly useable for daily requirements for me.

It should be fine. You’ll have to be thorough in removing personal information. I would prioritise giving it to someone I know rather than a complete stranger.

Everyone else seems to be very concerned about the terms of service, but I don’t know why ToS is of utmost importance to everyone suddenly. Anyone would gladly share their streaming service passwords, would previously rip CDs or DVDs, use VPNs to circumvent porn restriction laws in their country, lied in sites/apps to sign up as a teen, etc…suddenly Steam ToS is somehow sacrosanct.

This came up recently when Steam confirmed your account cannot be left to anyone else when you die. The conclusion everyone seems to mention there is: if you leave your username and password in your will, how would Steam ever know or enforce this?

Go ahead. Do what you want.

What was the drama there?

Streets of Rogue was a laugh, but it didn’t stick the way Gungeon did.

It took me months of play to finish my first Gungeon run. But once I beat a run, it became routine that pretty much every run got finished successfully. Although the extra bosses are really difficult, I didn’t get to grips with those.

I had written geberal detailed tips for Gungeon back in the day…but that’s all lost now since I scrubbed everything I had ever submitted to Reddit.

The potential for game breaking synergies and relative simplicity of movement/shooting in 4 cardinal directions makes for pretty fantastic gameplay.

BoI has taken a bit more of a back seat in my library since I discovered Enter the Gungeon.

I’m surprised that’s still in the most played games. Also Slay the Spire. They’re top quality games and I still play them. Just surprised there’s a long term wider audience.
