- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 2 days ago:
Yes, some of them can be launched directly from the exe without the steam client, or with some modifications to the game files.
Here’s a list of DRM free games: pcgamingwiki.com/…/List_of_DRM-free_games_on_Stea…
Also it’s kind of silly how people automatically blame Steam for this, even though Valve does not force you to use DRM to publish to Steam. It is the developers themselves that chose to add DRM or tie themselves to the Steam API so that the game can’t run without it.

The irony of an ad for an adblocker…
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 month ago:
Clair Obscur is not indie by any definition of the term. I don’t even know why it was even considered at all.
- Comment on Why? 2 months ago:
It’s also because Lemmy’s sorting algorithms are much better. On Reddit, if you’re more than 6 hours late to a post, comments won’t get any interaction.
You can tell Lemmy is written by socialists, with upvotes being much more evenly distributed and less focused on the top 5% going viral.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
Exactly. The performance to price ratio is much better for ARM. The only barrier to adoption is compatibility, but they seem to have a decent emulation layer for that.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
This could be huge for ARM adoption on PC. Exciting stuff!

Didn’t Steam already have some home console like hardware a few years ago? That flopped so badly I don’t even remember the name

If you think AI is going to stay without ads/subscriptions for much longer you’re not paying attention

Yeah, it was funny how they tried to create some narrative arc about how she reacts to killing, and it just made the whole thing even weirder

One can hope they’ll retract the episode and cast Kenny in the role of Kirk instead

- Comment on The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb 6 months ago:
Ok, I will just try to install more KDE apps so I can make use of that great dependency so I can join the Electron hating circle jerk next time. But from where I stand now, Electron apps are just like any appimage or snap.
- Comment on The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb 6 months ago:
“One time only”? In theory yes, in practice I don’t have anything else that needs those KDE dependencies. When I remove qbittorrent I can safely remove them. This is just a reality check that desktop GUI frameworks and package management are really not much better than Electron/html as lots of comments in this thread seem to suggest.

VSCode is also electron with a 100mb download size and 400mb install size. I think it has 1000x more functionality than some shit Logitech UI where you change LED colors. This sounds more like incompetence on the Logitech team than a problem with electron itself.
