Realistically, you’ll always be able to download the offline installers from the high seas anyway.
will I still be able to play the games that way
Most of them will probably work, but there’s no real guarantee. Depends on whether the installers dumped critical files into your system / user folders.

It depends on whether drm is enabled. If it is not, then the game files on the disc would work. It is the publisher’s choice whether to enable drm.

You have 1.1k posts. You joined Nov 24. Do the math.

- Comment on Why do we see Oil as always being here for humans? Isn't drilling like taking water out of a swimming pool? Sooner or later your going to run out of water. 1 week ago:
I take it you’re too young to remember when ‘peak oil’ was a prophecy of doom, about how we’d run out of oil and civilization would decline. Today with green tech it’s come to mean something else, about when we’re going to significantly wean ourselves off oil.
- Comment on Ate there more galaxies in the universe, than stars that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye, or with a telescope? 1 week ago:
The whole universe? Absolutely. Even the smallwst infinity is larger than any countable sum.
Sorry, I don’t understand. Surely the number of galaxies is not infinite?

That was hilarious.
Do other condiments have pale imitators like Miracle Whip and Just Mayo and Vegenaise? I don’t think so!

Yeah, Valve is really having trouble moving those units. Never mind that they sold out in a couple days and have waitlists till next year
- Comment on If a famous person or character's likeness is copyrighted and you need to license it to use it, could you find a real-life lookalike and say you modelled your character off of *that* person instead? 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on These corpos who feel entitled to Open Source code 2 weeks ago:
Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, often with the intent of exposing or shaming the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society.
- Comment on These corpos who feel entitled to Open Source code 2 weeks ago:
How did you listen to the dialogue and not conclude it’s satire?
“We get a lot of love letters and fan mail. They love us so much they’re asking where we sleep at night so they can pay us a visit.”
Gotta admire his ability to keep a straight face.
That said, it might be considered performance art more than satire (or maybe not mutually exclusive), since they apparently do actually accept payment for actual jobs. And if you trust anybody with a website like theirs, good luck with whatever code you receive from them.

it would be the budget option at this price
You mean the steam hardware?
Yeah, hardware prices are fucked, but there’s hope on the horizon, if China really does start pumping out memory. Won’t help with GPUs, but we can always play indies that aren’t pushing the graphics envelope.
- Comment on Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED? 2 weeks ago:
But that doesn’t mean I regret my purchase either.
I’m not telling you to, my original comment was just pointing out the absurdity of calling Nintendo the budget option. I guess we’re agreed on that point now?
- Comment on Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED? 2 weeks ago:
Cherry picking a couple of titles to compare is not a great method. On average, games tend to cost less on Steam. It’s well known and there’s lots of sources online. Here’s a few:
…hubpages.com/…/Buy-Game-PC-or-Switch-Pros-Cons
arstechnica.com/…/quantifying-the-switch-tax-or-h…
That’s not even taking into account localised prices, which will see huge price drops for a large portion of customers on Steam, while Nintendo thinks everybody’s earning in USD.
- Comment on Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, because the hardware is subsidised by the overpriced games. Factor in any reasonable rate of game buying and you’ve broken even in no time flat.

Is this just using a hypervisor to virtualise system services the DRM uses to assure it it’s not being monitored or interfered with at the OS/kernel level?
Essentially yes, uncertain about the networking.

Who’s talking about the AI price increases?
- Comment on Is Denuvo's Dominance Finally Beginning to Crack? A New Linux-Based Breakthrough Suggests It Might Be 2 weeks ago:
using Proton/Wine compatibility layers to run Windows games on Linux in a way that interacts differently with Denuvo’s checks. That distinction is what made it interesting from a totally Linux gaming perspective, especially given how unusual it is for Linux compatibility layers to become part of the discussion around a major DRM breakthrough.
Can you provide technical details about that? It’s frustrating for the article to mention the breakthrough but not actually dive into what it is or an example of how it works :)

Hi!
I’d love to know more about the chat with Empress 😂
Sorry, when I said universally cracked I meant they had figured out a general viable method, not that all denuvo games were cracked.
I’m mostly just wondering what you meant by a Linux-based breakthrough? Since it seems you’re talking about the hypervisor method which originated on windows. That’s the part that’s really unclear in your article, some elaboration would be nice.
I’ll link the other thread to this one so we don’t have to maintain both threads :)

Some people just want to play games without spending eight hundred dollars on a Steam Deck
Calling Nintendo the budget option is wild.
- Comment on Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED? 2 weeks ago:
And this, boys and girls, is why Nintendo can remain the scum of the earth without any consequences.
