Do Bosch tools not exist outside of Germany? Here the professional (blue) line is pretty much on par with hilti and Makita in terms of quality if not better depending on the type of tool

Just because it’s the same doesn’t make it worse though - so it definitely is up there with the best game soundtracks of games from this year
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 11 months ago:
The problem is that without those exclusive deals noone would change
Most people didn’t buy EA games at origin or Ubisoft games at UPlay even though you needed those launchers anyway. They even didn’t buy CDProjekt games at gog despite the games being dem free there.
Excluding deals on sought after games is literally the only way to get a majority of the players moving away from there comfortable “I have ally games and friends there already” position
People are lazy and hate change - without force it’s not going to happen
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 11 months ago:
No it won’t - people are lazy
Even CDProjekt sold many more copies on steam than GOG when you
- Actually own the ge there instead of renting a licence for it.
- Know that 100% of your money go to the game developers.
- Get many additional goodies for free
Don’t tell me people are choosing the better deal when it’s all just steam having the might of “I have most of my games there already” on their side…
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 11 months ago:
Let’s also not forget that game developers have no choice but to release on steam if they want to have any chance on breaking even since they have that huge of a market share and that Epic challenging that already lead to better deals for developers since Valve hat virtually free reign before
- Comment on When the landlord asks for a tip 1 year ago:
Depends on the building usually.
I also pay my energy for myself but the heating usually is per building and not per flat so it’s not really easy to split up so if you live in a multi-flat apartment at least the heating is usually paid up front by the landlord who includes part of it in your rent
- Comment on When the landlord asks for a tip 1 year ago:
you’re not paying for you electricity in the US? Here in Germany you pay an expected amount for heating and electricity and then at the end of the year the landlord has to send you a statement telling you how much was used exactly and either pay you back the difference or you have to pay additionally and that usually results in changes in what the expected amount is in the future

I liked the one a while ago about making every blind person able to see again for exactly 6 hours before they go blind again
That sounded just viciously cruel

Monopolistic companies exploiting that monopoly to ensure it stays like that? Impossible!
- Comment on Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? 1 year ago:
Depending on the game I’d even do the opposite.
I don’t care for the 20th fight against bandits to be hard - but a boss should feel like more of a challenge and take more time to finish.
- Comment on Alan Wake 2 - Review Thread (90/100 OpenCritic) 1 year ago:
With how directly Control tied into the Alan Wake universe with their DLC being completely centered around it I’d be really surprised if they wouldn’t go even further now

On the Internet you’re not arguing to convince that person you’re arguing with.
You should argue to challenge the statements that person made for other people that will read the thread so those opinions are not out there without any counterarguments - Comment on Really? 1 year ago:

- Comment on Dusk Developer David Szymanski: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly 1 year ago:
That’s because you are not in a position to produce and sell a game.
As a user it sure is the case but as a developer you are in a position that you either have to take their 30% cut or accept that you are selling way less
The fact that pretty much immediately after epic launched their store steam lowered the cut for big publishers tells you that they are fully aware that 30% is too much to be reasonable but they completely could get away with that because Devs just didn’t have a choice.
Because of epic that now changed since even if you don’t actually sell more games you at least can get a guaranteed profit as if you sold those games that you miss out on by not being on steam.
Sure the way epic is doing it is not good but I really don’t see another way how a significant number of buyers would ever come to another store. That didn’t work for EA, that didn’t work for Ubisoft, that also didn’t work for GOG where you actually own the game without DRM and not just a license to play it as long as the server is allowing you.
People are fundamentally lazy and hate changing their routines - that’s why forcing them into buying at your store is necessary if you want to get them to switch.
- Comment on Dusk Developer David Szymanski: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly 1 year ago:
I mean that’s the same side that steam is using their monopoly for, too
For the users it’s definitely the most relaxed option - but as a developer if you choose to not put up with steams 30% rule you are fucked.
The fact that pretty much immediately after epic gained traction steam announced cheaper rates for bigger publishers tells you that they definitely are aware of how 30% is too much
Personally that’s why I buy all my games on gog if possible even though I have a Steamdeck and that makes stuff more complicated.
People denying steam has a monopoly are probably also denying other fundamental truths that would imply that they had to change their lifestyle (climate change anyone?)

I think a middle ground for the profile setting would be nice
Why is it even hiding posts from myself? Why is it impossible to even search for posts that that feature has hidden?
That’s why I disabled the setting and are currently exclusively using sync to browse

can’t complain at all - it’s very smooth and except for the main-menu the controller-layount feel pretty good

With the last addon it even got a good controller layout so I recently did a new playthrough on my SteamDeck
Still s very fine hack&slay
