  They could delete the crown store and I might consider playing it again. Tbh I was ok with a subscription on its own, its all the other crap that kills my interest.

  Does anyone still work at Xbox anymore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simple GOG client for Linux Minigalaxy version 1.4.2 is out now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it do anything that Lutris doesn’t? I usually download gog installers for both Linux and windows games (often from my phone and rsync it across to PC) and use them interchangeably on Linux with Lutris and you don’t even notice a difference once it’s installed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SKG Publisher Warning — browser tool that warns you when a publisher kills games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And if it concerns you, keeping the installer is easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SKG Publisher Warning — browser tool that warns you when a publisher kills games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So the same thing with physical, the shop could be told to stop selling and distributing it.

  Also don’t gog usually only stop sales rather than distribution from existing purchases?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SKG Publisher Warning — browser tool that warns you when a publisher kills games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have bought a game on gog, how can the publisher revoke that game from me now that I have it?

  Not aware of any games on gog that are always online

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SKG Publisher Warning — browser tool that warns you when a publisher kills games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do any games on GoG exist that can be killed by a publisher?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft warns Authenticator now blocks rooted Android and jailbroken iOS, verify if you're affected⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure but you can use your own choice of 2FA software for your own stuff

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft warns Authenticator now blocks rooted Android and jailbroken iOS, verify if you're affected⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really mind using shit software on work devices. Yes it’s slow and inefficient, I spent half an hour today on Windows doing what would be a very short command on Linux. Fuck it, get paid the same. I just use Linux at home in my own time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft warns Authenticator now blocks rooted Android and jailbroken iOS, verify if you're affected⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad I don’t use their app then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California Protect Our Games Act fails in committee, as an ESA rep calls Minecraft servers "illegal"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, wanna join me on my illegal Minecraft server?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh no, that's Lenovo saying they think these RAM prices will be the new normal and may never go back to how they were⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t use them, work me uses them and I am getting paid in that case so who cares that it’s terrible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh no, that's Lenovo saying they think these RAM prices will be the new normal and may never go back to how they were⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And the result of those shit tools is their problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh no, that's Lenovo saying they think these RAM prices will be the new normal and may never go back to how they were⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a problem for my employer rather than me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh no, that's Lenovo saying they think these RAM prices will be the new normal and may never go back to how they were⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t have to use electron crapps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh no, that's Lenovo saying they think these RAM prices will be the new normal and may never go back to how they were⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how it will compare over time, will the overall performance you can get per hour of labour in wages go up or down?

  If a high end PC costs twice as much, wages only go up 50%, but high end PCs are twice as powerful. You are still getting more performance for your work. But if performance and wages barely change while costs rise significantly, now performance for labour has actually dropped. Generally more interested in how it compares over longer time frames rather than month to month spikes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expect RAM prices to stay high with Micron locking in deals for 5 years⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t need to buy a more powerful PC if I don’t want to. I could game on 2GB just fine. I game on 32GB because when I bought it I could afford it and wanted to, but it isn’t a hard requirement. Still running an RTX2070 and see no reason to upgrade, when it dies the lowest spec GPU will probably be an upgrade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expect RAM prices to stay high with Micron locking in deals for 5 years⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At this rate I suspect by 2035 I will be running a pi zero 3/4 as my main PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expect RAM prices to stay high with Micron locking in deals for 5 years⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Surely if the bubble pops then micron are doing great as the deals are already agreed, but that RAM won’t be worth what companies paid for it either. What would they do with it, try and sell it off to recover some of the cost of the RAM they no longer need?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve quietly tweaked the Steam Machine details removing "4K gaming at 60 FPS"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably reasonable, it is going to vary by game a lot. Some will easily and others not a chance. Got an old 2011 laptop that would output 4k 60FPS if it was capable of outputting 4k… Actually could probably SSH onto it from something else with a 4k screen. What FPS does a terminal get?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Gives The Green Light to Install SteamOS On Desktops To Create Our Own Steam Machines⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have they not improved driver support as part of this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Gives The Green Light to Install SteamOS On Desktops To Create Our Own Steam Machines⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think some hardware configs are harder to use, like if you have Nvidia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Gives The Green Light to Install SteamOS On Desktops To Create Our Own Steam Machines⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Allowed but janky, this is probably a more polished installer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda wish I got several back then. I had 1 already though. Still got it too. Now mostly use 8bitdo controllers as I mostly use them for coop games and it’s easier to use the same type of controller.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony say goodbye to PC and hello to AI in their annual business report, which must be a good thing, right?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice, they won’t even try selling me their slop. Thanks Sony.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve is so behind on Steam Controller orders that some won’t ship until 2027⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on what you play. IIRC like the original steam controller, it’s better at playing non controller games than any other controller is. If you are just using it for games with full controller support anyway then I doubt there is as much of a difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Many live service games are just an MMO subscription "hidden inside of a neat 'optional' package", argue Guild Wars 3 devs in a post about the new game's monetisation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  RuneScape can be played without a subscription.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Many live service games are just an MMO subscription "hidden inside of a neat 'optional' package", argue Guild Wars 3 devs in a post about the new game's monetisation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would rather a monthly subscription over micro transaction crap tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo reportedly look set to net so little from their Palworld lawsuit you'll wonder why they bothered⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And what is that fucking message, that Nintendo isn’t much of a threat compared to what people thought?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Gaming CSO Pitches Ads in Games as "Affordable Alternative"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like games that are highly relatable/endless. Story isn’t something I am overly bothered by though.
