Draconic NEO

Yeah there needs to be an effort to look for the problems, unfortunately the guy making fun of games because they suck and calling people “LGTVs” and making fun of queer people for “being woke” isn’t a prime example of that, it’s a prime example of someone pointing out that games are bad and sneaking in his hate of LGBTQ people into the videos.

We need to have an effort to critique and point out the real problems in why games are bad and AAA companies are making bad games, while also pointing out bad, biased, and hateful criticism that pushes a bigoted agenda.

I doubt they’ll ever admit it, or even look into it.

Many triple-a games are going to shit, they’re made with the goal of maximizing profits, they aren’t a labor of love and creativity in the way that indie games made by a small team or even a single person are. Of course the people spouting “get woke go broke” either don’t understand this or they don’t care because they have an agenda. So they push the idea that “wokeness” the idea of portraying LGBTQ people in a positive light, or even recognizing them at all, is what is ruining games, and not corporate greed and cutting of corners that AAA companies often do because they think it’ll maximize profits.

This is the case, the problem isn’t that there is racial diversity or LGBTQ people, it’s that a lot of AAA games are just horribly made at this point. Unfortunately I’ve seen quite a lot of people who miss that point and just use this as an opportunity to drop bigoted dogwhistles, and talk badly about how “LGBTQ are ruining games”, both being assholes and completely missing the point.

Their developer, Redline has a known history of mental illness, and he banned many people for having competing games in their library, leaving bad reviews, criticism, or just challenging him or calling out wrong or shady practices.

It’s because they are angry trolls who are already angry about something else and are choosing to take it out on others, hence why this guy decided to lash out at you without even paying attention to who he was replying to.

I’d also recommend joining GamesThatHateYou and following the curator since it’ll tell you if a game stopped using Denuivo or just switched to a different but similarly terrible DRM.

For anyone who wants to avoid games that do this kind of shit I can’t recommend the following steam curators enough.

• Denuvo Games
• GamesThatHateYou

They also tell you if a game has had Denuivo in the past and has removed it, in case you don’t just want to avoid Denuivo but developers who use it or ever did in the past.

They’ve had LDN in the main build for a while now, I wouldn’t advise using that dedicated LDN build, it’s quite old and hasn’t been updated. The standard one has LDN in the settings under the network tab.

Do you realize the difference is that a console will generally give a known quality and they usually just work without tweaking and tinkering?

The problem with this argument is that it only applies to PCs that you buy and build from off the shelf parts like any other computer you get where everything can be different. It does not apply to a pre-built console type PC manufactured using a custom IC pre-configured operating system dedicated to run games in a console-like experience, where every single one of those models are the same, especially in a case like the steam deck where it’s made by the same manufacturer.

But not everyone wants to do more than plug in, update, and play.

Pretty sure you don’t need to if all you want to do is play games, a good majority of games work out of the box already. Maybe it wasn’t the case in the beginning when proton was younger (which is where this mentality comes from) but it certainly does now.

Edit: Hmm Downvote with no response, that plus your username tells me all I need to know. Have fun.

Probably would result in a less than optimal user experience since it is still in development and has bugs and graphical glitches especially on Later Flash games (Actionscript 3).

I think that ignores the fact that things like Big picture mode already exist and make the experience, well basically the same as playing on console for games that have controller support or a default controller mapping (which of vast majority already do).

If Microsoft were to shift their model to PCs and PC handhelds it’s likely they would bring their own big picture dashboard, maybe even just port the Xbox dashboard itself. So the experience would be the same, with the exception that you could jump to a Desktop mode if you wanted to (not that you actually have to, or would want to if you want that clean console experience).

That is very likely what they would do, though I imagine that they would start doing PCs and PC handhelds before killing off Xbox, if they even actually killed off Xbox, and didn’t just transition the brand to that model, either way it’s more of a smooth transition rather than just up and moving on to something else.

It would be very mean.

For instances which choose to intentionally mirror or otherwise make available threads content on instances which defederated threats, instances which know about and are deliberately circumventing the fediblock on those other instances it does indeed make sense though. Keep in mind when I talk about it I’m specifically talking about instances who are intentionally trying to circumvent the fediblocks by a coordinated effort, not just that they federate with threads.

I would say he’s being quite honest, especially considering they have one of the highest suicide rates.

Many steam games already have no DRM and ones that use Steam Launcher presence can be launched using a Steam Launcher emulator.

Ones you have to worry about are Denuvio games that aren’t cracked (you can keep track of them here).

They both seem to be having one heck of a time.

Is there a guide on how to install and get it up and running on SteamOS? I looked on Google but it still seems relatively new.

Does 3.5.5 actually support Nix? I mean I didn’t see anything about it in the changelog (unless I missed something). This would absolutely be a welcome change if it’s actually implemented, not having a way to install foreign packages without them being overwritten by OTA is an important thing to have.
