- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 4 hours ago:
If there’s no difference in quality why obfuscate it? Why hide something that you think is a valuable tool if your code can speak for itself?
He could have used that opportunity to take a standing his own way “this is what I am doing and if you don’t like it feel free to make a fork but I think this is blown out of proportion for: (reasons he could list his opinions on)”
But being like “good luck finding it now” is 100% malicious in this context. Or if malicious is too strong of a word for this, its definitely not user friendly at all.
And certainly not very “open”.

Open source stuff is awesome and I really like people improving Linux in their spare time
But, to do it this way is basically saying “fuck you” to the community which is fucked up.
Could have talked about how AI helps him or how he uses it for templates or whatever and damn even if I didn’t agree with those points either that’s a lot better than being like “alright good luck finding it now then bitch”
I wouldn’t mess with anything this guy does anymore after this.

Man if you go in there nodding out and drooling on the desk I feel like they’re not giving you a gun and you couldn’t go to basic training until you went through treatment you would tell them.
What’s there to prove? You showed up high AF on opiates and are very clearly (in their eyes) a drug addict if you do that.
- Comment on 18-26 year olds, How do you plan to dodge the draft? 1 day ago:
Take an opiate before I go in and nod out in the line or seat or interview or whatever.
Also talk about how you’ve had to be on the opiates to come to terms with figuring out that you might be a different gender.
Boom. No war for you.

Well don’t worry, every other aspect of our lives is nickel and dimed (or hundred dollared and thousand dollared if you wanna be honest about it) too!
Literally every single thing. And it gets worse every single year! Then they wanna talk about “liberating” other countries its so fucking ridiculous.

The only thing Linux did that I don’t agree with was remove people with Russian nationality. I think that was more wrong than them allowing you to put whatever age you want at the beginning of startup.
I will say though that this is not the endgame. Porn sites started out this way too just enter an age and good to go. Eventually, it will be pushed to a point you have to upload ID now that might take years and years but when it happens there will be some distros left that won’t play ball.

Nah but wouldn’t that be legitimately wild if someone pushed that to the point to where California had to make an exemption for temple OS specifically?
Dude now that I think about this I wonder if this could work.

Yupp I’ve had my phone in my hand before and they call back and it rings for a nanosecond like not even enough to make the full ring sound once on the phone.

I mean at an airport it is kind of warranted though. The only other options are to leave and go home and miss the flight (If you’re even near your home at that point), miss the call and put your job on the line, or go to the bathroom I guess but this is still public.
At least they aren’t doing it on the plane.

You can put almost anything on your dick, its the secret the elite don’t want you to know about!
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 2 months ago:
you said that if they lowered their fee developers and publishers would make their games lower pricing. They dotn do that on epic which charges less than half of what steam charges. How is that wrong?
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 2 months ago:
Nope your opinion can be whatever you want it to be but why not hold the same opinion for the whorl industry standard instead of one storefront that’s a part of it? Why single one out and ignore the rest?
Again I notice you didn’t say anything about how Epic charges less than half the fees any of the others do and yet the games are magically the same price as they are everywhere else. Is that not evidence that you’re wrong with your statement that lowering the fee that everyone else that makes money uses isn’t going to make the games cheaper? I mean bro the evidence is right there.
And yes you can report whatever you want I wouldn’t expect anything less from someone who’d doesn’t even understand how taxes on a storefront checkout work and who can’t read something someone says without completely twisting it into something they didn’t say like saying I said not to argue and saying I said to shut up which never happened.
You seem like the type of reactionary person that would do that when proved wrong. I’m not gonna cry about it. No where in any of my comments did I attack you, simply said your arguments are shit and they are.
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 2 months ago:
I agree with you its wasteful and I personally would never own one but it sounds like the dude actually likes the whole sea scene and scuba dives and stuff like that a lot.
A quote from him about it: “This isn’t about buying a yacht company. It’s about plugging into a tribe of builders, dreamers, sailors, creatives and engineers—and seeing what kind of future they can shape when no one’s holding them back. This isn’t a transaction. It’s ignition.”
So it really just sounds like he bought a company with a hobby he’s interested in to make more money and be a part of the hands on experience with it. That’s the same thing he did when he made Steam except he didn’t buy it he made it.
I still think yachts are insane and some absolute let them eat cake tier of rich bullshit but I don’t hate the guy for buying a company he seems interested in.
I’m not sucking his dick or anything but the dude got rich by being the least shit bag to the paying customers of his service. That’s more than I can say about almost every single other CEO alive at this point. So fuck it, let him have the yachts I guess.
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 2 months ago:
Ok I looked back at my comments and never did say that. Can you point out where I did?
And yes, 30% is what every competitor in that market that is making money charges which is why I say its strange and unwarranted that you only call Steam out for this. This is an industry standard.
And these publishers and developers can set the price to whatever they want. They could do 30% over the fees on just the steam store and less on other platforms like itch.io if they wanted to. They don’t owe anything to steam and they don’t have to use it, GOG, PlayStation or Xbox if they don’t want to. They could host and do all the payment processing on their own shiny website. There’s a reason they don’t do that.
Also, you’re an adult right? You should probably stay off message boards and any publicly used websites with comments if swear words hurt you so much. No one is forcing you to be here or engage just like no one is forcing you to use steam or put games on there.
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 2 months ago:
I never told you to shut up you are good at putting words in peoples mouths I have noticed.
And no no, I don’t trust valve all the way. The licensing can be taken at any time in my opinion they have censorship issues and they said that about not being able to pass down games when you die. I dotn trust them all the way.
What bothers me is when people complain and cry about how Valve charges so much in fees when the entire gaming industry charges the exact same fee. And yet somehow PS and Xbox and GOG are always excluded from the conversation when it comes to this discussion.
You being upset at Valve doesn’t change the rest of the gaming industry. Also no, not charging the fees isn’t going to lower prices because just like the sales all of that is up to the publishers and developers nothing is stopping them from charging 30% extra to cover the fees and again they could absolutely host their own stuff and deal with payment processing fees, hosting fees, bank fees and all that without the exposure that every single competitor to valve gives them at the same exact price valve charges.
One of those gives you double the exposure than the other two combined though and I’ll let you guess which one that is.
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 2 months ago:
Again you are wrong that 30% includes payment fees give it a search and educate yourself.
But yeah all those “failed competitors” I “cherry picked” charge the same amount steam does which was your original argument about why it sucks so bad. So you should be outraged at PS and Xbox charging that AND a few to use your internet on multiplayer games.
Literally the only one that charges less hasn’t been profitable. You’re out of your element Donny.
Every single other competitor charges the same thing they do, is that enough evidence or are you going to claim every single other service is a failed competitor again?
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 2 months ago:
Fair. But its important to point out this won’t be one that goes inside you it will be one that you put on the outside of your head that interacts with brain impulses, at least according to them.
If I was someone with limited mobility or some other sort of handicap I would do that before I got the one that goes inside my skull. But that’s just me.
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 2 months ago:
cherry picking failed competitors
You mean all of them? PlayStation, Xbox, and GOG literally the only two that don’t do this is Itch.io and Epic and Epic games store hasn’t been profitable since it came out in 2018. And Itch is pretty much indie games only. Please name one other competitor that sells AAA titles that doesn’t do that besides epic which again hasn’t been profitable as a game store since 2018. They supplement it all with that fortnite money.
You want steam to be the only one that has AAA titles for sale that doesn’t take the same percentage cut every single other one takes?
Not fangirling either I’m pointing out that your hate is completely unwarranted. You should hate the gaming industry as a whole if you hate the pricing model it has set up.
The reason people put their games on PlayStation, Xbox, GOG and Steam is because that’s where all the players are. They could easily only sell it on Epic and not sell well if they wanted to do that. (The fee being so low on Epic is why they don’t make money BTW give it a search online)
These developers could even set up their own payment processing system and sell it directly on their own website which would take about, oh look at that 20 - 30% of profits without any of the exposure PS, Xbox, GOG, and Steam gives you. I wonder why they don’t do that if its such a bad deal for them?
