  It doesnt matter if you just store them for private use, it only becomes a crime if you share them, if someone else has the same file (hash) then that means you shared it, otherwise no way to prove anything illegal happened

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont really need it but good launchers make things easier, especially on linux where sometimes a specific patch or version of something like proton is needed and i dont want to spend hours figuring it out by trial and error. 

  Im not a fan of launchers being required though, thats just DRM. But projects like Heroic launcher and Lutris are incredibly nice to have. Steam is alright, its hard to hate on a company that has done as much for linux gaming as valve has.

  I always found science and history interesting even though i hated school.

  Maths though, i always resented “you wont always have a calculator” … but now as im older i imagine kids today having a similar idea about “AI” and i can see that not ending well for anyone.
