Oh.

Welp, my opinion still stands, even if this isn’t the right context for it.

Hmmm, that does seem weird that they wouldnt be putting in DRM. I guess I’m on board with it. They do make super solid games. I hope this showcases what can be achieved by games that do t include DRM at their core.

Anti-cheat in single player games never made sense to me. Maybe if it includes microtransactions, then i guess i could see a use case, but like, if I want to cheat at your single player game, what use would there be in stopping me?

I think OP put the wrong IMDB link.

Try this one

I really like your way of explaining that.

It still feels dirty, but when is war and geopolitics ever actually clean? I feel a lot more heartened that this was the right choice after reading your response.

I understand the sanctions part and wanting to head off any potential state interference with projects like this, but “infosec reasons” feels very hand wavy.

I think I’d be a lot more comfortable if we had seen malicious/bad faith actions/communications or maybe some more specific and tangible reasons to suspect them being compromised on the part of the Russian maintainers before they were just removed.

Awesome project; super easy to set up the streams in VLC for anyone curious about that.

you could stand up and fight for that

For best results, do not do spontaneously (that is, go grab some friends and coworkers before attempting to take on a big business)

Probably in the same holiday season as Elder Scrolls VI

Naw, I just kidnapped a bunch of people and left some dirty old blankets laying around /s

I don’t think I get what you mean when you say “Walled Garden” in this context. Can you elaborate?

Interesting. Ugh, I feel the need to go peek at it now, but I also expect to really not like it. Oh well, here goes.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the microblog format, but I’m pretty sure everyone here is going to agree that Mastodon is the superior Twitter replacement.

Eh, got lost looking for ground ginger. Started in the spice aisle, but they were out, so some directed me to the produce area (apparently didn’t realize I didn’t want whole ginger). After a bit more wandering, I turned some up in the Asian food section.

Unironically saw this meme while in line after having just done that.

I bet rent is still above the national average.

Like, I don’t want to sound like a corporate shill, but Valve has been the most consumer friendly corporation I’ve ever seen. Even if they do meet the criteria for a monopoly, they are the model of what a company that finds itself as The Monopoly should be, in my opinion.

I have no intent to sign up for this “lawsuit”, even though I stand to gain some $500 from it. I hope Steam lives long and prospers.

Ugh, I want to say old internet things, but I kinda like this place and don’t wanna get banned :,(

Oh no, now we have to ban them all?? What a shame!

/s

Yeah, its like someone tried to convert a Toyota pickup into a 2-door jeep.

I’m actually really down with this concept.

Imma need the stats on this so I can throw it in someone’s face later.
