Point taken. Still, I think designing the game around positive things like team work and rewarding experiences is important.

I can’t see why server side solutions won’t work when implemented properly. High ping? Just provide more servers and allow players to filter that out or do that automatically.

There is a 2-part solution:

• Build a game people enjoy playing more than winning.
• If you need an anti-cheat solution, design one on a server side.

The author is an illustrator from what I remember. It’s a totally valid point. Automatic transmission is one thing. Wasting resources on creating an image or an essay is wasteful and everyone should realize this.

They probably mean the majority of people, not 4070 Ti owners. For them, buying that 4070 Ti would be a better choice already.

Freelancer 2. Will not forget.

Owning megayatchs… is not equal to being an evil corporation like Sony or Nintendo. Steam is not a monopoly either, or at least it doesn’t try to become one with predatory tactics like, say, Epic.

As for defending, I know people suffer due to what people like Elon did and does. I know no person who suffers from what Gaben did or does.

It’s not Gaben simp squad story, it’s Gaben hate squad story. And I don’t see adequate reasons for that hate. Guess some people just like dividing everyone into “good peasants” and “evil multimillionaires”.

It was basically a faster 7 (also less hungry). Universally hated Metro stuff can be get rid of easily. Plus it had better forward compatibility - I could run some apps that said to require windows 10 which I knew didn’t work on 7.

Worse. Steam is basically built on top of CEF, which is not much better than Electron.

It’s amazing how deep Chromium (and web tech in general) got into everything. Microsoft - which I regarded for how light and well optimized Windows 8.1 was - went from using Chromium for Edge to using it basically everywhere. Latest observation is how you open Copilot app, chat a little and see how it eats 4 GB of RAM and lags like hell, on a higher end business laptop.

There is a way to “turn it off” with some search parameters. However there is no guarantee that the AI is not consuming resources at the backend.

Nah I’m just Russian. Our government is an example of a problem, they tried to manipulate Apple and Google, and was successful to some extent.

And I would welcome that. Most other people will probably not though.

The problem is how government entities dictate media corporations what to do. This time it’s pro-consumer, the other time it might not be so.

And what happens if we don’t stop it soon? They will attack… Russia or something?

With all respect for people who hate Apple (myself included), this doesn’t look like how penalties should work. I doubt there are adequate standards of how an entity like EU can request any percentage of global revenue from anyone. What would you do if you request any more than Apple considers adequate and decides it’s more profitable to just leave your market?

With all that is happening in the world, someone decides to spend time to make a meme about NATO being a bad guy?

With “optimized for gaming” premise? That’s obviously nothing more than “hey we decided to allow you to terminate resource hungry explorer/copilot/edge when you play”.

SotN is great but I really liked GBA and NDS games more. They are less complex but also somehow make more sense overall, and are less frustrating for my taste. The only one I would say is safe to skip is Harmony of Dissonance.

It’s arch…

Yeah but its downside right now is that it doesn’t really support latest tech, since it is not based on latest Linux. Wish they would change that because I seriously consider SteamOS for my next gaming PC.

That must be on MacOS programmers. See WOW64.

I heard they are irrelevant for Proton as it has its own fsync.
