Yes, most people who run a household can’t invest ressources in learning how to repair electronics (which can also be quite dangerous and insurance will not pay if you burn down your own home) and rarely can afford to go one or two weeks without a fridge or an oven or a washing machine. That’s not really on the people, though, so maybe don’t sound so snotty.

I don’t care for DRM, but I care for Russian companies paying taxes with my money.

It may be contrarian to this community, but here is the official summary and it sounds fair: …org.uk/…/16407724-vicki-shotbolt-class-represent…
Why should Valve prevent larger discounts on other stores? It’s shitty business.
- Comment on PC gamers win the first battle against Valve Corporation as £656m competition claim receives judicial approval 1 week ago:
Imposing Platform Parity Obligations (“PPOs”), that prohibit publishers from selling Products through other distribution channels on better terms than the same Products are available on Steam.
…org.uk/…/16407724-vicki-shotbolt-class-represent…
That’s fair actually.

It is speculation, yes. This is about consumer rights.
- Comment on PC gamers win the first battle against Valve Corporation as £656m competition claim receives judicial approval 1 week ago:
„PC Gamers“ are not a monolith. I buy games on Steam if they are not anywhere else. It’s not like I have an option, I‘d prefer a non-US, DRM-free alternative, like GOG. But most big publishers refuse to not exclusively release on Steam.

By whom?
- 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? 1 week ago:
Hytale has incredible publicity for an indie release and caters to a target group that’s used to a separate launcher. Not comparable to the usual release.
- Comment on 'Colony Ship is a Dark Christian Sci-fi RPG' - Warlockracy 1 week ago:
I wonder what demographic is seeking this specific game out as a form of escapism?
CRPG and SciFi Fans? And it’s not like Tolkien-esque fantasy and Warhammer and the likes aren’t heavily influenced by Christian believes and mythology.

off the hook
What are they supposed to do in a free market? If the product is eventually good enough for a single customer, they will buy it.

If they don’t have the code anymore they could just fund OpenMW with 100k $ and take that.

Chinese devs are a bit late to the singleplayer party and use 2000s PR babble: what’s mythic combat and relic fusion supposed to mean?!
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 1 week ago:
So I‘m dragging down GOG?
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 1 week ago:
I wasn’t talking about existing tools.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 1 week ago:
What‘s the good company in this context?
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 1 week ago:
Well I will not share a screencast where a local LLM helps with code completion on a private project. You talk like you’re a proficient developer, you can try that on your own. And where is the fallacy?
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 1 week ago:
Luddites didn’t fear technology, they feared for the commoditisation of manual labour and they were dead on right as pauperism followed.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 1 week ago:
If you think every LLM tool is a product of an over valued tech bro company then what’s that say about you?
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 1 week ago:
Whatever MS bakes into Windows is not what I listed above. Spin up a local LLM trained on your code base and try using it.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 1 week ago:
If you want to ditch every software company/vendor that uses LLM code tools, you may want to never touch software ever again.

RDR was made by Rockstar San Diego.

If your game relies heavily on cultural details, you probably shouldn’t make something outside of the culture you know.
- Comment on The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System 1 month ago:
Half-assed approach. If you truly mean it then don’t consume their products at all, this gives them cultural legitimacy.

Sorry in before hand if i offended somebody.
I‘m 100% with you, but if you say something like this you don’t really mean it and consequently shouldn’t say it.
