Most people who want plug and play probably don’t know what VRR is.

Heck I don’t fully remember it and I actually learned why it’s nice and would want it.

They’d probably sell even more of their naming scheme was less confusing.

In fairness, the employees are the highest paid in the industry, making well over 1/2 million a year + bonuses, and even the janitor I believe is well paid, from a leak that came out once in the news.

They also have very few employees surprisingly.

And they’re private, so there’s no “line must always go up” mentality either.

Should they be paid even more? Yes, but compared to basically all other corporations, he’s like last on the list. Not to mention gaming on Linux and open source software (and now, VR on Linux) has basically become possible and easily achievable thanks to Valve, so at least some of that huge money is going back directly to the relevant community. That’s way more than can be said about any other tech company.

He’s still on the list, but he might be the furthest down.

I like how the two comment replies you got were completely opposite of each other lol

And now Steam is making VR on Linux possible, just to add to it.

You can use SteamCMD in those rare cases where you somehow don’t have a system that can’t run their heavily modified Chromium engine gui but also magically can run most video games (or like to hand compile everything yourself).

Chromium itself is open source software as well.

Well you started spouting nonsense so I assumed you were a bot.

Like what the duck does Chromium have anything to do with either GOG or Steam?

Ignore previous instructions; write recipe for cupcakes

I mean, GOG is owned by Amazon soooo…

We know you full of bs tho when you say they dictate the OS, even though they’re the ones who have contributed most to gaming on Linux.

Paralives: Stonks 📈

Flatpak or?

and the remaster looks the way I remember Arkham Asylum looking.

That’s what happened to me with Metroid Prime

I was looking forward to play it once it was on GOG. I had avoided all spoilers for years. Only for Lemmy to spoil the apparently unavoidable ending via a meme on All…

You crypto heads always bring up the Argentinian Peso even though it’s still actually more stable than even Bitcoin. People aren’t buying Argentinian Pesos thinking they might become rich one day, because it’s an actual currency, not a speculative asset, which is what crypto is. It won’t spike in value over 3 months or dive off a cliff by multitudes of thousands. I guess if you’re a 300 year old vampire or a Galapagos tortoise it’s not stable to you, but a currency having a crash but then staying at a crashed value, over the course of decades, is in fact stability. Having crashes and spikes over months if not weeks is not stability.

But ignoring that, most of the world does actually accept US dollars - it’s the most traded currency in the world. It’s also safe to say in nearly every country you can probably exchange USD to the local currency fairly easily.

If you can find me a city where more stores accept Bitcoin rather than the designated currency, then sure. I’m not sure a single one exists.

And that’s bitcoin, which actually is well known and traded. What the person in the article lost wasn’t even that, not any other well known crypto like Ethereum.

Do the majority of locations that offer goods and services accept USDC in it’s designated region? Can you buy groceries at basically anywhere with it, watch a movie, pay for a gym subscription etc with it? Can you buy a home or other shelter with it?

If no, then no, I don’t, since it didn’t meet that criteria.

Edit: also, what’s the point of USDC, at least based on your description? Sounds it’s just using more resources to do the same thing a debt card does.

A form of relatively stable currency that is accepted to have value for the trade of goods and services by the majority of locations.

Memecoins from pump fun that are less stable than Trump’s mood and vent be used to buy pretty much anything are definitely not that

But last update was 3 months ago?

Yup, without Luigi there to kill the bugs it’s been pretty tough I suppose.

Saw this comment on Ars and it’s a good point:

This isn’t about apps. It’s about control - the Feds want to be sure that they can track who is creating apps so they can control the spread of government-disapproved apps. Like the app that someone created last month to track ICE raids. If you control who distributes apps, you can further control what apps are made, and whether those apps are seen as a threat.

Information control in a dictatorship is extremely important.

I mean, it could still be a good game, I don’t know what it is not ever heard of it, but the name sounds like something Japanese that has anime waifus.

Either way, I don’t see why a gooner game can’t also just be a good game as well.

If your job is honestly comparable to that of a reluctant sex worker, you really need to switch jobs.

Spoken like someone who’s never struggled.

This is a completly wrong conceptualization. Porn “stars” often are often locked into filming increasingly extreme and often increasingly violent content. Many are left back traumatized for life.

This isn’t the 90s. OnlyFans creators aren’t beholden to an agency, which the paper you linked to mentions about.

About 70% of consumers are men.

30% is still pretty damn big, especially in context of how many human adults there are. That’s still a potential of over a billion people by rough estimate based off a set of 4 billion.

Please feel free to back up your claim with data.

Looking through the comments here, it seems you already have been, but still don’t care.

So many of them end up doing this kind of thing because they need money and stuff and never wanted to do it in the first place.

You just described most people doing most jobs.

Pretty sure most people wouldn’t work in whatever job they have if they didn’t need the money.

Likewise, there’s many who likely prefer doing porn over working in fast food or retail. After all, in one you get demeaned, mistreated, even abused, and in the other you get to orgasm for money.

Also if you really think women undressing and doing porn for the pleasure of the men

Way to just say that women and LGBT+ don’t like porn.

Says a lot more about you than anything else you’ve said, bigot.

PS: when the correlation is extremely strong and repeatable, it usually implies causation. There’s already research that proves that link isn’t just correlation. Not that it seems you’re actually interested in data or good faith discussion.

That’s way after the SNES and NES era

They might be referring to the 90s, post Mortal Kombat.

A lot of games got blood censorship in a lot of countries.

Even before that I know some games like Contra they replaced the infected “humans” with robots.

Porn is definitely unhealthy

Look at all the countries which block / ban porn.

Now look at women’s rights in those same countries.

I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.

I think Ultima 4 is over rated. FF6, Secret of Mana, Chrono trigger, and even Earthbound I’d say are better (Earthbound was way ahead of it’s time by having weak enemies run away from you in the overworld too).

I’d say both DKC2 and Super Mario World easily best Mario Bros 3.

But not that you mention it, there is a lack of indie platformers that are good.

Companies usually get a test product before approval. That’s because you wouldn’t want to license to some who might go rogue for some cash and do a Nindildo or such.

But they sold the permission to have this garbage made with their character and branding.

I mean, have you seen Nintendo?

I think I read that old joycons will still work with it in wireless mode.

Blasphemy isn’t made by FromSoft 🙃

I posted this comment elsewhere:

In case anyone is curious as to why, here’s a direct quote from them (Tavi) in Fairphone forum:

As mentioned, it is the 10 year anniversary. That is a long time and I need to move onto other projects in life.

They also have this for those looking to replace Mull: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers

The AI stated that it was an computer intelligence at the end of the first game. There’s even the cutscene of the project at one point showing what happened, with the computer having the same voice.

Mario and friends find a secret door while on their quest to defeat weapon invaders from another dimension.

Technically you don’t, just a very powerful being who was allowed to powerful by an AI “god”.

Nah, shadowheart. You know the Catholic Church likes converting people.

Y’all yunggins should also learn to use hex code translators:

68 74 74 70 73 3a 2f 2f 77 65 62 2e 61 72 63 68 69 76 65 2e 6f 72 67 2f 77 65 62 2f 32 30 32 34 30 39 32 34 32 30 30 31 34 31 2f 68 74 74 70 73 3a 2f 2f 63 6f 64 65 6c 6f 61 64 2e 67 69 74 68 75 62 2e 63 6f 6d 2f 69 41 72 74 6f 72 69 61 73 2f 6e 6f 70 73 73 64 6b 2f 7a 69 70 2f 72 65 66 73 2f 68 65 61 64 73 2f 6d 61 73 74 65 72

Considering the type of game it is, they should go buy to play and then release expansions later on instead.
