Anand left 10 years ago to the day of the announcement. Was pretty well timed and I doubt it was coincidental.

Shut down announcement 10 years to the day from Anand Lal Shimpi retiring from AnandTech.

You can definitely put me down for 0 because my parents didn’t love me enough.

Even more frustrating is that different releases and builds recategorize where certain settings are entirely. To the point where search is the only reliable way of knowing for sure you’ll get to the right place. They haven’t changed things too drastically recently but they kept moving shit around in Win10 throughout its lifetime.

Yep, if you’re in charge of managing hundreds of computers, you don’t want to guess at what it’ll do. We have our defaults but also have people who make exceptions depending on their own work needs. Tbh, I rarely use that button anyhow though, I right click on the start menu to get that menu instead and use shutdown, restart, or log out.

Err yeah, lol… That’s what I meant, but typed it wrong. And hmmm, not sure that’ll do it then but I will give it a try.

Does --force-cursor-grab fix the issue where the mouse cursor might be misaligned with where you’re clicking? Hadn’t ever used that parameter in my setup and have avoided games that had 3rd party launchers because of this very issue.

I will say that in general I also agree, but there are games where I have been completely okay with it, like DRG. But those updates are always free and really just define (formerly) time period in which a long-term event is contained within. I do love that the latest season is really more of a chapter than a season since you can pick and choose whenever you want to jump into whichever season you want to play and progress through. Only seasonal events have time constraints now.

This is particularly nice since my DRG group has moved to playing Grounded instead, with the occasional DRG night and don’t want to feel tethered to a release schedule.

What you’re experiencing is generational bias and forming an opinion without actual facts. Be better.

My saying they’re a CM isn’t my giving them a pass. But dev vs CM is an important distinction regardless. A CM should know how to address people publicly and not incite even more rage by belittling people’s concerns. The only apology they gave so far was the most non-apology you could imagine too.

Spitz isn’t a dev, they’re a Community Manager, and a tone deaf one at that.

Lol yeah I don’t think OP knows what penultimate means.

And you take negative feedback poorly, just roll with the punches. It happens.

Also it’s not really a Microsoft thing as proven by the fact it’s requiring Java of all things, not .Net or any other Microsoft-proprietary runtimes.

No problem, glad I was able to recognize the symptoms so quickly. It was incredibly frustrating too! Oh, one more thing to do is launch Heroic from terminal so you can see the output. That’s how I knew which game was causing it.

First I disabled the flood control just to make sure I could get it working. I’m not sure about Heroic, but Lutris has an online database for games and I looked up Dead Space and found the correct game ID to set it to. Once it was on the right ID, it found the assets it needed and was done in under a second.

Are you using pihole?

I ask because Lutris was killing my network too and it took me like two weeks to figure out the root cause. For me, this is what was happening. I had Dead Space Remake installed. Lutris used the name of the game to identify it, but was incorrect. Then it would try to download assets for the game but apparently they changed the URL path. But when Lutris failed to get them, instead of giving up, it HAMMERED my DNS with requests, triggering pihole to engage its flood controls and kick me off DNS for 5 min.

If you use pihole, watch your query log live and see what is happening.

Lol when it was first announced, everyone said that people would fork it just to change the name for this reason. I prefer to keep it this way.

Sorry, no I didn’t mean it could play Steam games without Link. I was just saying that there is precedent for calling it a platform of its own because of how Quest works. Sure, on Steam it’s going to be based on the OS running it, but VR is a more unique experience than the OS being the platform.

I kinda think they did that because of the Quest since what do you call that if you’re only playing games installed in the headset, not using Quest Link?
