“Found themselves”? Wdym by that?

Thanks!

Neat, I have no shame in admitting I picked it up, I’ve never played any of these - but if someone tells me I can’t try something (or tries to block access because of prudish reasons) I want to immediately see what the fuss is about.
So, anyone recommend one of these to start with? How would you recommend I try to run these on Linux? (It’s also my first experience with GoG, but seems neat!)

Working retail and food service taught me even if you literally give something away for free, people will still find a reason to complain. “Free hamburgers today” But I don’t like hamburgers. “Today only, get a free 6 months to Spotify if you sign up for something else” But I don’t use Spotify.
Just, okay? Like fine it’s not for you, it doesn’t matter, it’s free.

Yeah steams silence has been deafening through this. Itch came out and explained what was happening, GoG did this. All quiet from Steam.

Fair, I usually poke into All every once in a while to see if there’s anything new, and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca is usually pretty good at letting folks know too

I’ve been in the nerdy tech space for decades now and I will never understand how these people expect things like Linux to take charge while they’re also being the most gatekeepy and arrogant people. Sure, I’d love folks to try it out, but I’m not going to demonize them either for not. I also have done tech support and there are the people where I just say “Nope, get a mac” because otherwise I will be the person that they go and demand free support from every week.
There’s passion, but then there’s a line that is too often crossed that goes into ego and selfishness, and I think Lemmy just breeds that.

I think it matters community to community - but I don’t disagree with you. Personally, I suggest curating a list of communities that you like and subscribing to them. It’s been much more pleasant having that than the barrage of All.

I think that’s why it becomes so noticeable - it’s usually so calm and chill that when someone comes in to stir the pot it’s so obvious
- Comment on Battlefield 6 won't cost $80, but EA aren't ruling out future price hikes "to capture the full spectrum of pricing" 4 days ago:
Battlefield has always had a cheating and skill issue. Battlefield 1 got the closest to being okay, I’d get in, have some fun, get heads hotter a few times and drop.
5 though was horrible. I’d have legit cheaters who could shoot me through mountains and people way higher skill than me. It wasn’t a place where I could just go and have some fun.
So yeah, I don’t see me picking up a new one

Thank you! After Admiral Patrick left I felt like there was a void here, introducing Captain Swift!

It’s important to know that it may not be visa and MasterCard directly, but rather Stripe, a popular middleware that provides an easy API for developers to access the card networks. To a user it’d be more or less transparent if they’re just swapping them out

What, you mean like a game you only buy once and just play online for free after that? Why would anyone want that?

I fear that calling them out so obviously it will just push them to target vpns next.
- Comment on Looking for recommendations for a multi home NAS solution 1 week ago:
Try it out, just make sure their software isn’t so locked down that there’s no way to send files in remotely

Yeah honestly I really can’t put my finger on it I like this guy or not.
- Comment on Looking for recommendations for a multi home NAS solution 1 week ago:
oh yeah… they’re “white labeling” their own brand of drives and if you use anything else it’ll bitch at you. I think for now it still lets you, but their OS definitely shows you’re not using a “proper” drive. May want to keep an eye on that.
- Comment on Looking for recommendations for a multi home NAS solution 1 week ago:
I think you already know, AIOs are the go-to, just make sure you can connect in. I’ve done this with Synology, works fine, I used sftp to sync things. If you want cheaper you can look into a standard linux host and mergerfs/snapraid, but it’s going to be a much higher learning curve, and a much higher risk of failure. If you’re just getting up and started don’t overthink it. It’s good to plan for tomorrow, but think about how much data everyone has, and how much you’ll use today, and then double that. That’ll be a good baseline.
If you’re US based, a trick, buy the WD Elements drives from Best Buy. They go on sale regularly pretty much whenever there is a holiday sale and “shuck” them (plenty of videos on Youtube for how to do this). You’ll save probably double the cost on drives.
- Comment on Looking for recommendations for a multi home NAS solution 1 week ago:
From my point of view, you have two separate things.
First, you have a “business”/user case, you need a way for people to sync data with you. For this, it’s a solved problem. Use Nextcloud/Owncloud/something with an app and a decent user experience for this. Whatever you like. On your primary “home” location, set this up, and have people start syncing data to you.
Second is the underlying storage. For this, again it’s up to you, but personally I’d have a large NAS at home (encrypted), which is sync’d to the other locations (also encrypted, so not even they can see it).
Their portal to this data storage is the nice user experience like Nextcloud. They don’t have to worry about how data is synced or managed. Nextcloud also supports quotas so you can specify how much they all get (so you don’t have to deal with partitioning).
This approach will be much less headache for you. I think I understand what you’re asking, where your original thought was just a dump of storage that is separate, but I think this is a better approach - both in terms of your sanity maintaining it and also their own usability.

And by not offending anyone, they instead bore everyone with their flat dialogue
- Comment on Rumor: Star Wars Outlaws Sequel Canceled By Ubisoft 1 week ago:
You can really tell Ubisoft sends all dialogue through multiple committees before approving it.
- Comment on Rumor: Star Wars Outlaws Sequel Canceled By Ubisoft 1 week ago:
In fact, Ubisoft recently blamed Star Wars’ flagging brand reputation as one reason for the game’s financial failure.
God be less self-aware Ubisoft. You built a boring game with the same mechanics as all of your other AC games, and you gave it the emotional maturity of a child’s blanket. You aren’t going to be raking in money if you’re too afraid to have a story that has any emotional depth.
Here’s a comparison between Outlaws (2024) and RDR 1 (2010) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg6mvYHjFvE&t=324s
