Yup. But it doesn’t have to be. This species just sucks :)

Wouldn’t say that. There is more to humanity than dystopian capitalist fantasies. I, e.g., work for free to help people. You might do too, if you got what YOU need from others. But yeah, not gonna happen. The vast majority of people will always stay slaves, they just don’t really realize it (yet).

My toast falling onto the carpet with the jelly side first? Capitalism.

Joke aside, yes. But this time it’s a clear enemy called AI. So people have something to blame, while evading the real culprit.

Win might, but steam never did. At least the last time I tried. Might be better now.

Aye, I also rarely understand the motivation. Must really be that those who decide have no real clue about what a computer or a game is.

In the last decade i highly drifted towards indie games and rarely even check AAA anymore. No innovation, no risk, nothing fresh nor great. Just re-iteration of what has already been done before. Milk every franchise until even the hardcore-fans are bored to oblivion.

It’s so sad, and I’m passionately gaming since pacman on the Atari 2600

If you use the browser not the client, There’s and add-on (steam something) that does show those things. Very helpful

Easy solution: fuck denuvo. Fuck the games that use it. And also fuck windows.

Edit: it has been shown many many many times over the many many many years, that preventing Piracy doesn’t mean increased sales or vice versa.

Those who don’t buy because the can’t, won’t play It if DRMed (loss not even near the cost of denuvo)

Those who don’t buy because they make informed decisions, won’t buy or play it, if DRMed (loss plus denuvo cost)

And many would buy a game even if it’s non-DRM-ed just because they liked it and want to support the devs. I bought soooo many games AFTER I already finished them or were halfway through.

And putting denuvo on it, instead of giving me a demo? Fuck you. I know the game is shit just by that.

I read elsewhere that it’s probably what you said. A mix of others like cachyos, mint etc.

And yes totally. When I grew up Linux was nowhere except servers and some very few supernerds who mained it. MS is really helping with all the shit they do 😁

Ah that makes total sense. And I like it :)

Yes lol. I was so adamant that i WILL need it more than once because “nothing will work and my patience runs thin”. Well. No :-)

Indeed lucky :) Although I never paid a cent for M$ …

And yeah, totally with you there. The enshittification of everything just hurts :(

Thanks :) I’d prefer native stuff, but as long as M$ (i wouldn’t touch crapple at all) won’t get a cent from me… Not that I ever actually bought a windows. Not even the server-versions. I only bought NT3.1 once, and that’s it :)

Oh so I might give it a shot. Would never buy their stuff though. Then again, I should rather use gimp.

Thanks 😁 I never managed that on win, but also didn’t on Linux either. Only game I tried is “where winds meet” and my ingame-shots look never like what I actually try to do 😁 Might be the game though, not tried using the native apps for that. But either way, can’t be worse than win 😊

Hmm…sounds weird but I don’t know many Chinese so that’s that

Why did the Chinese numbers go down and now up again? What happened?

Honestly I recently only used some portable warezed one. CC6 or 2024 or whatever they call their shit now. I lost interest when they switched to that cloud-nonsense. Which is sad because I was there when they introduced Photoshop and i loved it. Newer than 2024 will probably just be worse. I’d bet they put a lot of effort in their DRM which naturally breaks things

Ah okay, just quickly checked on the phone (where i hate surfing).

fair point, and I do hope so…

When I click the link above, the list is different BTW. Very sus 🤔
