Won’t someone please think of the metrics?!

paper thin security advantages.
And loads of highly intrusive, unremovable, anti-user bullshit.
- Comment on The Forever Winter's water will no longer drain away while you're offline 1 month ago:
I was hyped when I first heard about it. And with them dropping the shitty mechanic that was putting me off, I’ll definitely grab it at some point.
Looks like it’s 20% off right now, but reading through the recent(ish) reviews, it looks like it’s still in a state that I would likely find aggravating. Namely AI jank, and enemies spawning/despawning while in view.
That said, a positive review makes an excellent point:
@Mango-killa
We bullied the devs into releasing the game early and are upset that it’s unfinished. I love the concept, but still needs a ton of polish and tweaks to be perfect. Give em time to cook.
It’s been on my wishlist, despite the now defunct water mechanic, since I heard about it. And I’ll give the Devs the time they need to cook.

It was a stupid mechanic, and the reason I lost interest in the game.
- Comment on What would happen if Punxsutawney Phil comes out, and immediately dies? 2 months ago:
I seem to remember reading an article saying that they have to replace Phil often, and they’re (the long line of Phil’s) always in poor health, because they get fed and absolutely shit diet.
Easily could be remembering a figment of my imagination, and I’m too tired and lazy to look it up. So I look forward to someone with more motivation than me proving my remembering one way or the other. - Comment on No good excuse to still be on Xitter 2 months ago:
Well, bought and paid for, may as well use em! Just because the .ml and hexbear folk are near clownish in their frothing evangelism, doesn’t mean they’re wrong about everything…

It almost feels like it’s meant to be slapstick humour.

The NSA scoops everything, this is known. Deleting it in 24h won’t change anything, the data is already collected.

Isn’t it possible that all of the options we’ve thought of are incompatible with the basic nature of a few sociopaths seizing everything and grinding decent folk under their boot?

I mean sure, it’d suck, but no one would be around to think it sucks, so it’d be fine 😎👆👉👆👉
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 3 months ago:
I’ve got a laptop running Garuda, it has and Intel APU(so integrated graphics) and a dedicated Nvidia 1660. Working better than with Win 11 on it. I did have to configure Heroic launcher to default to the dedicated gfx card, but that was about 7 mouse clicks tops. Steam games tend to just assume that you’ll be wanting the dedicated gfx to do the work, but some games ask. That said, out of the box, I had to fight win 11 for about 25mins to get it to agree that yes I did in fact want the Nvidia card to be used to run games.

Bump for Garuda. It’s decent, as simple as any installation I’ve ever had to do, comes well configured out of the box, and has a very active forum that the Devs keep an eye on and answer questions quite quickly.

More likely they bought them before they realised what a douche-canoe the asshat was.

Fair enough. I’ve not even got to the locked building. I’ve only put like 30 odd hours in. And I’m a bit of a shit gamer 😅
