One day we’ll get VLC 4.

Hopefully not. They wanna turn VLC into Kodi but Kodi already exists.

Gotta make sure Linux also has ads and spyware somehow!

ChromeOS has that covered.

I’d wager

Just look it up instead of making wild guesses: github.com/microsoft/azurelinux/tree/…/systemd

How is 60 dollars not bad for what a slightly better USB C cable could also do if Sony had cared to develop a proper firmware update?

I dislike using a slur for disabled people as the name but it’s only partially why I stopped using it. Bad cross-platform support, sticking to ancient GTK versions, GNOME-fication of the upcoming 3.0 version, etc. also pushed me away.

Teslas run Linux. Not sure they finally comply with the GPL, though.

A Sony Horizon game on Nintendo Switch?! WTF?

That’s so annoying about motorsports in recent years. Commentators are tasked by the race series owners to hype up that BS. Researching the technology is fine. Scientists may find ways to capture carbon at a better rate at acceptable energy cost but shouting that an inefficient combustion engine is somehow better for the environment than EV because “batteries bad, carbon capture great” is just stupid.

FYI: Cross-platform cloud save sync is currently not working. Developers are working on a solution. Workaround is to enforce Proton.

Edit: The workaround I’ve read somewhere is wrong. Currently the only workaround is to either manually copy the save data or to set up a 3rd party sync solution (which for Steam Deck means to enter desktop mode).

What other options do they have?

Review-bombing other games is valid when TF2 is broken?

Other valve games

I’ve read that but the quality of Dota or Couter-Strike is unrelated to the quality of TF2. Review bombing those is stupid. Give TF2 a bad score. That’s fine because it’s about the quality of TF2. Give Dota and CS a bad score when those games suck.

Community in question has been eduring this for at least 4 years now.

Where were the negative TF2 reviews in the last 4 years then? Give TF2 a bad score, don’t rate other games badly, just because “the community” was complacent until now.

In all honesty, it’s a great game and it’s not that expensive. There’s currently even a deal in the Humble Store: isthereanydeal.com/game/ultrakill/info/

And in case you liked it, Turbo Overkill is similar and also great.

Your reply makes zero sense. People at Microsoft Game Studios are not the ones working on that Surface device, so no focus would have been taken away. They went through the trouble of testing 1200 games and concluded that gaming is no use case? Yeah, no.

Qualcomm: “Hey buddy, could you please port some of your games to our shared ARM platform as a showcase how great it is for games?”

Microsoft Game Studios: “No.”

Qualcomm: “Not even Minecraft which you already ported to ARM for Nintendo Switch?”

Microsoft Game Studios: “No.”

Qualcomm: “Why?”

Microsoft Game Studios: “Until your chips are fast enough to power the next generation Xbox hardware, we don’t actually care about you.”

Your Steam account is tied to backed up cloud saves. I wouldn’t just give away the account to a complete stranger. Also Steam’s EULA forbids it, so any problem might lead to the account being closed.

I would only give my account to trusted people.

Why would they though? Dolphin was very special case, this isn’t.

Because it was originally Bloodborne Kart, an unlicensed fan game.

I’ve lost any and all interest after the inevitable copyright infringement complaint from Sony.

Unless I mistake this with another case, I’m pretty sure the “copyright complaint” was a well-meaning Sony employee who DM’ed the developer and suggested to make changes to Bloodborne Kart before nervous lawyers get wind of the game.
