It was one of his earlier games that used that trick.

Linux has many performance benefits over Windows on the count of there being much less bloat and unnecessary garbage included but also SteamOS has the extra benefit of running games and apps independently in gaming mode with little to no background processes, kind of like how games run on a Console. Background apps and the Desktop do chew up resources which won't be used by the games.

A lot of apps and most games out there are 32 bit and need 32 bit support, trying to pull an Apple is naturally going to be unpopular and unproductive. This is one of those things about Linux and Linux development which is inherently problematic, which is the seemingly severe aversion to legacy support, despite the fact that Linux is often praised for running on older, less capable hardware, as well as taking better advantage of current gen hardware.

I don't even know why this is even being discussed, it's an awful idea and should never be implemented.

It would be cool if there were a custom Lemmy-UI CSS theme that mimicked the Text based look of the BBS terminal interface but still gave the full functionality and allowed you to view images in posts and banners.

I used neonmodem once, was kind of buggy but it worked alright for reading text based posts. I wasn't able to login though.

Probably a good call since Bungie clearly plagiarized a lot of the art in this game from artist ANTIREAL.

It's not like this game was going to be remarkable anyway.

Maybe it will someday, if they think it'll make cracking harder or that there was something to gain from Windows lock-in they'd do it.

If it were up to the publishers they would force us to give them money against our will. They would shun people for choosing not to buy their games the way they shun people for pirating. Thankfully the first one is illegal and the second one is just so asinine and unreasonable that any publisher who did it would lose all respect for it. But that doesn't mean they wouldn't want these things if they could get away with it. These publishers are way more evil and greedy than many of us really give them credit for.

Fair reminder everyone, if you wish to find out easily which games have and don't have Denuvo I recommend following the Denuvo Games Curator which will tell you which ones have it and which ones used to have it. It's a great tool for avoiding these games.

[–] Draconic_NEO@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Agreed, I encourage people to follow the Denuvo Curator to keep track of which ones have it and possibly even ignore the ones that do (hides them from recommendation feeds).

A lot of the posts to the /lgbt/ board (some people refer to it as /tttt/ for certain reasons) are self-hatred posts, also most of the people who post there are nasty people who have been banned from other spaces for gatekeeping or attacking other queer people i.e. Transmedicalists, and Nonbinary exclusionists (people who don't believe that Nonbinary people are valid at all).

So yeah I do think there is a lot of cognitive dissonance in people posting there, either people who hate themselves and feel the hate is justified, or people who think they're the only real gay or trans people and everyone else outside their group is posing. Basically, either extemely misguided, or extremely nasty people.

I'm not sure if that picture is real but there are definitely Ammonite fossils that large. Just in case anyone had any doubts.

Oh yeah and there are ones bigger than the one shown is this post too. Like this one:

Edit: Their new domain is chapo.chat. Probably should let admins know so they can defederate them again.
