  • It’s not because none of the current platform let you do it that it’s a bad point. People have traded games for decades before digital platforms, it wouldn’t even be innovation lol. You can suck on Steam all you want, it’s just your usual capitalist business, they dont care about you and will fuck you up the very second they evaluate they can make more money by doing so. But in the current state of things, they basically make tons of money by doing almost nothing (providing server space, wow) and “gamers” will rip their shirts off at the slightest criticism of that company.


  • I get that steam is a pretty nice platform to browse, and being a linux user, Proton is amazing. But steam is business, they build Proton to sell the steam deck, not for Linux users. And aren’t they in trial right now for overcharging millions of dollars? We now have eveything in place to replace steam with a fair, user controlled alternative. I will gladly pay a 5% or 10% fee, on top of the game’s price, to finance a user controlled infrastructure and dev team for projects such has proton.




  • I mean, there is your regular serial killers, and then there’s ___ Insert most dangerous killers here____ . Sure ultimately I’ve killed a few people, but it could be so much worse. See what I mean? Steam is an ok platform but in the end they only cares about profit. But since 90% of the gamers get wet when you mentioned the company name, there’s no need for them to change anything right now. Why in the world is it considered normal that a business that basically only provide server space gets to take 30% of sale price, while the devs who spent thousand of hours on a project only get 70%. Maybe it made sens 15 years ago, but not in 2024.

    Steam is just another profit business. I don’t get why people think they’re about anything else. They take a huge part of the sells and don’t even let you own the games. Owning means you can sell, give or do whatever you want with your games. Oh and “likely to die before 75”, lol, says fucking who, the 4chan doctor?







  • I’m actually really impressed by how smooth it is, especially since I use ALVR wireless on my home network, with an NVIDIA. It does require some tweaking but once it works it goes really well. I’ve tested 4-5 games and it’s super smooth. Better yet, I can use my quest to monitor and play projects directly in Godot while I develop them! It’s awesome. Goodbye forever windows. I already have 555 since I’m actually on Nobara, not sure it would have work with the previous driver.

    Good luck to you!




  • Lol I have no clue who he is but you sure seem to know a lot of about NVIDIA. I get my gpus for free lol. I got a 3080 in a box waiting for me but I dont botter installing since the 2080ti WORKS PERFECTLY FINE on linux!!! Unlike you, I never gave them my personnal money, I have better things to do with it lol. I think linux and computer might be too complicated for you, maybe get an iPad? Or keep on being an AMD sucker, they must love losers like you who thinks a stupid capitalist business is better than another stupid capitalist business and get mad over it. LOL
