Is there a VOD link instead of the livestream link?

- Comment on [Deck] How can I rip DVDs on my SteamDeck? 1 day ago:
Is it a permissions issue? If you’re running software through flatpak, do you need to enable access to the optical drive device through flatseal?
- Comment on Valve is changing Steam's homepage discounts and events section to go the way of the algorithm to get you to look at, and buy, obviously, more games 1 day ago:
I just took a look at the store page and I see tons of games that look interesting to me that I had never heard of before.
My memory of the previous steam store was that it would be the same AAA games and popular indie titles over and over. Stuff that I had heard of and didn’t want to play, or stuff that was already on my wishlist. I would generally find out about new games from outside of steam.
So this seems like a really good improvement, and I love the personal release calendar too. This looks like a really good way to surface games that may otherwise have gone unnoticed.

every month PayPal charges a little fee for having money on the card.
PayPal or PaySafe?

- Comment on [Eurogamer] Control Resonant review 1 week ago:
Sounds about what I expected after seeing the trailer.
- Comment on Roblox plan to grow their absurd gaming empire even further by letting devs release games as "standalone apps", potentially via Steam, Epic, and GOG 2 weeks ago:
Does that make sense? Isn’t the point of Roblox that you play all these different games with the same group of friends using the same account and character or whatever? If they release them as standalone games then it removes the social incentive. It’s just another game engine at that point.
- Comment on LTT side channel Short Circuit has accidentally published their first 30 minutes with Steam Frame early. 2 weeks ago:
Nice try Linus, but I wouldn’t watch your review even if it was the last one on earth.
- Comment on Active Matter developers put up an incredibly distasteful AI notice on Steam 2 weeks ago:
Oh dear.
- Comment on Active Matter developers put up an incredibly distasteful AI notice on Steam 2 weeks ago:
What else have they done?
- Comment on Active Matter developers put up an incredibly distasteful AI notice on Steam 2 weeks ago:
Sometimes people try to make a joke and they miss. I don’t think i would assume malice without additional red flags.
It does raise the issue that if you want to use a synth voice for a robot, are people going to skip your game just because of the AI disclosure without reading it? I can understand why they would be nervous about it.

- Comment on Futuristic mosquito-zapping laser now available to buy, video shows device in action — tiny device shoots down bugs like a personal air defense system, but costs $1,000 1 month ago:
Looks fake. Surprised that tomshardware wrote an article when all we have is a few seconds of marketing video.
Wait until these are in the hands of actual users.
- Comment on Sandustry, the factory game where every single pixel is a resource you can build with, is out in early access 1 month ago:
I would love to watch a GDC talk about how the engine works.
- Comment on Saber admit Rideshare "Stimulator" features generative AI writing, but deny they replaced taxi game's lead writer with ChatGPT 1 month ago:
That was the most mid trailer I’ve seen for a game.
- Comment on Mozilla revokes Firefox signing key after unencrypted copy lands in GitHub 1 month ago:
The Register asked Mozilla how long the private key was sitting in GitHub, how it got there, and whether its audit logs cover the entire period it was exposed, but did not receive a response.
Yeah, I bet I know why.

Half Life: Linux
- Comment on Meta admits its first ‘superintelligence’ was too stupid to survive for three days 2 months ago:
I think it has a lot of potential outside of those two things, but the problem as with all modern technology is that the companies making it always do so in the most abusive, hostile way possible so everyone rejects it immediately as another Big Tech trap.
Think about how useful AR could have been for all manner of different tasks and professions, and what we have instead is pervert-glasses with built in surveillance, connected to the giant propaganda machine in the sky.
Apple’s “Apple Vision Pro” vision was actually a reasonable assortment of reasonable ideas when you watch their announcement marketing, and then what we got was an overpriced, underdeveloped toy as we’ve come to expect from them.
VR/AR is going to be a casualty of this era of tech, an era which will be remembered as taking the forward-looking, human focussed applied-science field that we love it for and turning it into a tool of extractive capitalism, an enormous vehicle for investment fraud, and an enabler of fascist authoritarianism.
Hopefully one day we will recover. In the mean-time, I still have hopes for the Steam Frame which is what it should be: a dumb, unopinionated peripheral.
- Comment on "I know how devastating it is, and my heart's with all of you": Doom's John Romero responds to id Software reportedly losing half their team 2 months ago:
Back in the 90s I sent a fan email to John Romero, and he was gracious enough to send me a reply. I don’t think I still have an archive of my emails from that long ago, but it left me with an impression of him as being a good guy. I wouldn’t be too hard on him about “being relevant”. As one of the founding members of id software, it’s not surprising that news outlets will pick up on his comments, whether you think he deserves it or not.

- Comment on IBM and Red Hat commit $5bn to secure open-source software 3 months ago:
Lightwell will use AI tools and over 20,000 engineers
If the AI was useful for anything, why pair it with 20,000 engineers? It’s interesting how every “application” of AI involves teams of human experts just doing their thing while the AI “helps”.
