Kinda. The MS 365 subscription can be ordered from the app store. I don’t know about installing the Office applications afterwards, whether they then can be installed from the store.
- Comment on Windows on Snapdragon support is coming to Epic Online Services Anti-Cheat and Fortnite 1 week ago:
Just putting their own games on the platform would be money down the drain
If they heavily rely on some frameworks very much tied to x86 Windows that required massive efforts to port, sure, but usually they don’t for the simple fact that video game consoles and smartphones exist. Microsoft very much supports gaming on ARM platforms, most notably Nintendo Switch. There is no reason why Doom I+II isn’t officially available for Windows ARM.
- Comment on Windows on Snapdragon support is coming to Epic Online Services Anti-Cheat and Fortnite 2 weeks ago:
Gaming on ARM is going to have a steep hill to climb until there’s a Proton-esque compatibility layer.
Or even better: The company developing Windows on ARM, selling ARM Surface devices, one of the biggest game publishers after the takeover of Activision could just release their own freaking games on their own platform. Not even the casual games are:
- Comment on Windows on Snapdragon support is coming to Epic Online Services Anti-Cheat and Fortnite 2 weeks ago:
Lol, finally someone noticed that Windows on ARM exists. Microsoft certainly doesn’t even though some Surface tablets are using it. Not a single Microsoft game has been ported to Windows on ARM.

- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb. 2 weeks ago:
back when it was new
So a year later the time bomb still did not go off.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb. 2 weeks ago:
With all what they offer, 30% IMO is fair.
It’s not like the games are cheaper on other stores with lower cuts. Why would customers care if the lower cut just results in publishers pocketing higher profits.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb. 2 weeks ago:
This is by a Apple fanboy who is disgruntled that Valve broke up with Macs (Steam is still available but updates like the HL1 remaster aren’t any longer). Yeah, send thoughts an prayers for a cult who buy overpriced computers with weak iGPUs that only recently learned to do some raytracing but understand no Vulkan or somewhat modern OpenGL.
Apple has decided that gaming on Macs is about iPhone games on bigger screens and not about supporting cross-platform APIs and frameworks. Don’t blame any but Apple that your beloved platform is shit for gaming.

- Comment on Germany right now 4 weeks ago:
Also, Ukraine should be at war with the US for its interference in the election process in 2014, where the democratically elected leader was toppled in a blatant west-backed coup.
And here you are, laying bare that you’re just repeating pro Russian propaganda. Calling the right to protest a coup. Not the occupation of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine is the problem but the people rising up.
He’s not the one threatening our minorities and our women, he does that in Russia.
Yeah, Russia is just there doing some domestic stuff we don’t need to care about. Russia isn’t occupying parts of Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia. Russia isn’t expanding westwards. Just sit idly by when tens of thousands of non-Russian children get kidnapped, put into reeducation camps, to then fight for Russia. Just sit idly by when Russian agents outright attack German barracks and twiddle your thumbs. Other issues are way more important than caring about that campaign of extermination in Eastern Europe within the borders of an EU-aspirant.
stop presenting Europe as the fighting ground for WW3
Good I didn’t do it. Another Russian propaganda tool is to push back against claims that were never made, acting as if anyone but Russia was the aggressor, trying to move the conversation into Russia’s genocide being just legitimate self-defense.
You’re nothing but a Russian propagandist, whether you’re aware of it or not.
“But wouldn’t a Russian propagandist deny that bad things are happening inside Russia?” the propaganda playbook would make you ask in return, admitting to some criticism but brush it off as a domestic problem far away, trying to cast doubts on your underlying intentions. Russia’s propagandists up the illusion of a broader political landscape. Put the AfD on Germany’s far right, put the BSW on Germany’s far left, put appeasers somewhere in between, and divert attention away from Russia’s attempts at conquering Europe.
- Comment on Germany right now 4 weeks ago:
Europe isn’t at war with Russia
Yes, we are. From election interference to contamination of drinking water at military bases in Germany, incendiary devices placed on DHL planes, and cutting undersea cables.
we should be struggling in favour of diplomacy to reduce both our and their military expenditure…
Completely naive. Diplomacy only works from a position of strength.
Russia invaded Georgia. No military help, only diplomacy: Led nowhere.
Russia’s 2014 invasion of Ukraine: No military help, only diplomacy. Two Minsk Accords Russia used to build up their military and Russia then happily broke.
reduce military expenditure with fascist Russia, and take care of our own fascist problems.
Russia is part of Europe. Russia is waging genocide in Europe. North Korean soldiers are murdering in Europe. Putin is our fascist problem and people appeasing Putin are also a part of the problem.
- Comment on Germany right now 4 weeks ago:
Considering that Putin is the biggest fascist threat for all of Europe, your statement is laughable. The Left agree that Putin is doing bad things in Ukraine and other countries but their message is that the domestic social net is more important than Europe’s survival and all weapon deliveries must stop. Let’s talk instead.
If policies were up to them, they’d be helping fascism almost as much as outright Putin sheep

- Comment on Forza Horizon 5 is getting released in PlayStation 5 1 month ago:
I have to wonder why this is happening?
Same reason all the other ports are happening: Microsoft massively overstretched itself with the ABK takeover and Xbox isn’t making enough money. It’s make more money or get axed, in case you somehow completely missed 2024 entirely.

You have 4 nordic languages to pic from and you not only pick the worst one but also the one thats probably one of the worst languages of all time.
I’d rather learn Danish than Finnish (also, I count 6 Nordic languages: Danish, Swedish, Finnish, the two Norwegian languages of which one if a Danish dialect, and Icelandic, plus there are surely a few minority languages, probably in the far north or so).

- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 2 months ago:
The Sonic Racing games are the best counterpart to Mario Kart available on PC. Sonic Racing Transformed is the best of the 3 games (and bundles the very first game) but sometimes gets confused when switching up controllers, so you must delete the config file, so maybe because of that not the best introduction to PC. Team Sonic Racing is a bit less good but that input bug is gone.
- Comment on Age of Empires designer believes RTS games need to finally evolve after decades of stagnation 2 months ago:
I actually wish there were more simplistic Warcraft 1/2 or C&C type games to come out
So do I. There are a few but these are indie projects and in turn their scope is smaller than even those 1990s games. I guess the closest thing is Five Nations which is currently on sale on Steam for under 10 Euro. It’s like a slice of Starcraft 1 where they have taken only the missions with just flying units. At that price point I cannot complain but I’d also like a full price scifi RTS. Not a fan of AoE4 simply because of its “realistic” backdrop. I’m rooting for Tempest Rising after Stormgate was a severe let down.
- Comment on Age of Empires designer believes RTS games need to finally evolve after decades of stagnation 2 months ago:
Micro-transaction central before it’s even in a close to finished state.
10 Euro for 3 missions isn’t even a micro-transaction. If one mission was 1 Euro, we’d ad least get full campaign for regular price but that shit’s just a lazy ripoff.
- Comment on Age of Empires designer believes RTS games need to finally evolve after decades of stagnation 2 months ago:
How is Stormgate innovating?
By selling three short, yet super boring single player missions for 10 Euro.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 2 months ago:
I think it’s pretty clear from context that they mean they have the ability to perpetually play the games because of the lack of DRM, not the right.
Plenty claim it’s their right and with much ferocity while as vehemently ignoring that there are plenty of games on GOG that offer reduced content when playing offline (an extensive list was posted by someone). Also, because games on Steam must disclose their use of DRM (and anti-cheat), people can just buy DRM-free games which can be backed up just as well. Goldberg is a drop-in library for games that use Steam APIs. So everything is fine there as well for people who actually make informed buying decisions.
