I just started dual booting to see what Linux could do nowadays. And yes, there’s a few games I have trouble playing, but it’s mostly games like Subnautica that gives me trouble. And in all honesty, that game barely works in Windows as it is.
I haven’t had problems with anti-cheats at all. Like, Helldivers 2 runs as well on Linux as in Windows.
Oh no, you misunderstand. It’s not help you find stuff on your computer.
Probably because Valve doesn’t make games anymore. Not on any serious level anyway.
Most of their games are old as hell, and most of them where in the “proof of concept” relm. They only really made games to push the technology they were working with.
It’d be a poor argument to bring up their old catalog of games from 20 years ago as something that made them a worse company today.
It’s about more than just taking a 30% cut of sales. Everyone agrees that it’s a high price. So what else might the potential competition do that make them stand out as worse than Valve?
Also, overworked and underpaid Devs are a different matter. You have look at their Publishers about that. I believe Valves Devs are quite well paid and far from overburdened.
I think that, regardless of brand, most users just want the most basic (almost blank slate) OS that can run the programs they choose to install.
And that is close to, if not completely, impossible to get if you don’t have a mind for Linux.
Same. However I do work manual labor, so nothing too fancy lasts long.
I, for one, welcome Japanese George Washington, Indian Hitler and Inuit Ghandi to our historical database.
Nah, there doesn’t seem to be a problem simply writing nasty comments. Personally I’d prefer getting downvoted to hell than a ‘pile-on’ in the comments spewing bile.
Can’t we do both?
I miss the old pirated XP. Stripped and streamlined for your convenience.
You can’t tell me what to do! You’re not my real mom!
Most people do. But it’s not enough.
Even if all their users payed, it wouldn’t be enough.
I’ll make a wild assumption and say that the people that made the adblockers might also be using them.
Plus, it’s likely to evolve into a “less ads” deal eventually.
The one constant is that there’s never enough money to satisfy corporate needs.
I don’t think we should underestimate the savvy programmers out there, who are just as fed up with ads as the rest of us.
And at this point, most of the cousins who don’t know how to update their adblocker are already there. It’s a matter of time. YT won’t keep pouring money into this. Just long enough to the “balance the books.” When the ‘number of viewed ads’ start slowing down again and they’ve hit their max viewership, they’ll call off the hounds.
The question is ‘Do they want to keep throwing money at techs in the hope of forcing people to watch their ads?’
At best, people will keep finding ways to get around the ads and YT will have wasted a ton of money on nothing.
At worst, a bunch of people will abandon YT all together. And YT will have wasted a ton of money getting rid of them.
Both options seem self-defeating and wasteful.
I think a “Top Mods” search should cover you fairly well.

You want the Scrips Extender first and foremost. Most mods depend on it.
The 4GB Patcher is also a must, if I remember correctly
After that Yukichigai Unofficial Patch - YUP should cover most of the bugs. (I can’t remember exactly how much it covers, just that it’s was an essential mod back when I was screwing around with it)
Other than that it’s a bit of trial and error. If a problem pops up or if one persists, look around for more specific patches.
If you never finished it, I’d recommend just sticking with Bug Fixers and Stability Mods.
The game holds it’s own without changes.
I’d even hold off on graphical mods as there’s little that can be done to improve the visuals without complete texture overhauls. And they tend to just make the contrasts more apparent and can cause even more instability to an already extremely unstable game.
Isn’t the entire point of the newer versions of Windows just to force the engagement with applications you normally wouldn’t use?
