Battery life seems to suffer because of it.

I'd be shocked if Stardew didn't net him $100 million, it's sold more than 30 million copies.

overload ,

If PFAS (in particular PFOS) does turn out to have a cancer link, ho boy. It is just about everywhere at this point.

overload ,

Oh my, you're right.

overload ,

Same, bonus points if you don't even buy the AAA game when it's on sale, instead buy an indie game with that money.

overload ,

This seems the most ethical to me. Don't pirate smaller stuff.
I would say it's ethical to also pirate where the artist has passed away and it's just their estate who get the money, but I'd take that on a case by case basis.

overload ,

Getting off social media surely is the best way to reduce stress.

overload ,

I find the funny videos being sent endearing almost as much as they are relentless.

overload ,

Yeah WTF, there's a ridiculous library of good retro games. Why choose the worst one lol

overload ,

Hahaha what the hell is this.

overload ,

Good points.
Its worth mentioning that while SteamOS is based on arch (a famously unstable distro), it is immutable, so the user will have a much harder time bricking their system.
KDE plasma was the right choice I agree, considering the number of windows users Valve is marketing towards.

I think in general he leans more left than he lets on if that's what you mean.

His podcast when his wife is on (It annoys me that people would find this to be relevant credentials, but she's a POC) shows that he has a pretty healthy world view where he talks crap a lot, but is happy to be told he's an idiot as well, at least by her.

Don't the fans of X applaud it for being anti-censorship? I would think this goes against their free speech inclinations.

Yeah, my PC is beefier than a PS5, so I'm hoping I can get better 60fps results than the performance mode on PS5.
So glad to see SE is taking multiplatform seriously. They're probably the most egregious publisher in terms of setting sales targets well beyond what is reasonable.

overload ,

We've had first Gollum, yes, but what about second Gollum?

overload ,

Me launching RDR2 from Steam (added as a non-steam game from Epic when I bought on sale) means having 3 launchers open to play 1 game.

overload ,

I don't know how parents feel safe living in the USA. Your gun laws are insane.

overload ,

That's horrible to hear. We get on edge about the constant military/economic threat of China here in Australia, but that's much more an existential threat than immediate one. The idea that some random citizen could end 100 peoples lives in minutes is terrifying.

We have people over here that I'm sure would be a school shooter situation if we had guns.

overload ,

We have a strong economic dependancy on China for trade, and a military dependency on the USA for defence. What could possibly go wrong?
I'm not a sky news watcher, but I'll admit I have family that are very cautious about geopolitics (also not sky news watchers)

For people interested in tech edutainment he's alright and has mass appeal. My favourite videos have been more of the interesting ones showing how fast his ridiculous fibre connections are in his house.

So much terrible click bait has meant I haven't bothered clicking in a year or so though.

overload ,

That update bugwas so ridiculously poorly timed for the Linux community. Especially considering he said Pop OS was beginner friendly

overload ,

Sports fans seem pretty happy to be fucked around though. It happens to them hard when seeing sport in real life and have to pay exorbitantly for food at stadiums/sports channel subscriptions, so EA is fucking them quite gently in comparison.

EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again ( www.techspot.com )

EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during 'Replay' moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in...

Once you discover the sea of great indie games you won't even care what AAA is doing anymore.
Some of the AAA games remove cash shops after the game loses relevance anyway, like Shadow of War, meaning you get rewarded for not buying the game until it is 90% off.

Big Video Game Publishers Like Microsoft Are Paving Their Own Path To Irrelevance - Aftermath ( aftermath.site )

In recent times, triple-A publishers have repeatedly had their lunch eaten — at least, in terms of mindshare — by more creatively nimble indies. Lethal Companywas last holiday season’s breakout hit, andPalworld followed not long after. Balatroand Manor Lords have come out of nowhere to tear up the Steam charts, as...

It's genuinely upsetting to see people losing their jobs in pursuit of company profits.

That said, the AAA game development model is broken financially. If Indies and small studios get the release space and attention they need to thrive now, the death of widespread AAA gaming is a wonderful thing.

How many of the most interesting gaming experiences in the last decade have been indies? I would argue most of the best games have been made by teams with less than 30 people, often single dev "studios".

overload ,

Is good, I got bored though as they haven't released a major update since 2022. On opensuse tumbleweed now.

Not having the bugs of using gnome extensions for customisations is nice.

overload ,

Reddit posts could always be company astroturfing as well.

overload ,

People who gain/have a lot of wealth over their life do tend to want to lock that wealth in by being Conservative I think. Wouldn't want to shake things up!

overload ,

I would have thought Dpad was the obvious choice for fighting games due to combo button combinations. Is it more common for players to use the joystick?

overload ,

It's amazing how bad it is now with SEO-optimisation. Most people (myself included) put "reddit" into the search query to clean things up in the hopes that we'll get something other than an ad-serve/affiliate-sales-linked website, but this really opens you up to being exposed to astro-turfing.

Edit: Really interested to hear if other people have better ideas than this.

overload ,

Sure, I do ignore those sites but this is a good way of doing it.

overload ,

Hadn't thought of that. Unfortunately generally I'm looking at current products/news more often than not.
Makes me worried about the whole dead internet theory if I'm being honest.

overload OP ,

Hey! You did prompt my question, no offense :p
I'm a fellow Open SUSE tumbleweed user on Desktop, but was surprised to see it mentioned in this context.
Thanks for sharing!

overload OP ,

Thank you. Reading through responses this seems to answer it, I could imagine once you're modifyinf foundational OS binaries you don't want to have a SteamOS update nuke it.

overload ,

I'm currentlyI not powerful enough for this, but probably will attempt it for fun one day. On OPENSUSE Tumbleweed atm.

overload OP ,

Ah yeah that makes sense. So many tech communities here I've noticed. Always put it down to tech people being more willing/able/knowledgable to move to something better!

overload ,

Steve Mould, Veritasium?

overload ,

Steve mould not doing location filming maybe could be a reason. I think he scratches that itch talking about interesting physics phenomena that Tom had though.

overload ,

Veritasium is up there as one of the best creators on the platform, really good at generating interesting topics, even when talking about the mundane.

overload ,

Yeah I think this is about convenience right? Pirating is more work than scrolling through an interface.

overload ,

I agree it can get very convenient. You could get the *arr suite of apps running with Ombi and never have to touch a browser to find stuff. The *arr suite fail to find things pretty often though (see: downloading singular seasons of old shows) and I can see why someone just doesn't want to deal with all that.

overload ,

Why? Seems to me paying debts early is good advice, less hassle dealing with those loan sharks.

overload ,

Yeah it is not a decision to be taken lightly! Very rewarding, but one of the hardest things you'll do.

overload ,

Hmm I've never thought about it that way. Definitely seems like we'd be better off not getting taxed by employers throughout the year, as then it can offset mortgages etc before paying up.

overload ,

It's the reason revanced is >> the official YouTube app even with a paid YT subscription

overload ,

Yeah I will say I was expecting PS4 emulation to be more developed. Still it will be the fastest way to get Bloodborne 60fps for the masses.

overload ,

Aren't we at the stage where getting the game to boot to the start menu is a big deal?
I would imagine getting games running is a bit further off.
