  • The actual developers using it obviously disagree so I'll take their word over your incoherent childish rant.

  • You're technically right but you know what I meant. I bought Hades on EGS with a coupon and Supergiant got more money than they'd get if I got it on Steam, and the game worked flawlessly there from early access to today as well. Everyone wins.

  • Redditors are going to have foam in their mouth over this.

    Personally I bought games on EGS and then always ran them without any issues with Heroic, the FOSS GOG/EGS launcher that also works on steam deck. I got better deals on epic than steam in recent years (especially back when they did coupons) and the devs got a better cut as well. It's a shame to hear they're not even breaking even, I think even GOG is at least self-sustaining.

  • Yeah but Google won, they became the biggest and now can do whatever they want. Unless Mozilla gets close (and I dont think they ever will, even remotely), I dont think they're in the same situation. Until then I kinda just root for them to survive and exist as competition, even if they have such a small market share compared to google.

  • I am a bit cynical about it as well, but on the other hand mozilla's entire shtick and what's keeping them alive is their privacy oriented, anti-google approach. If they enter the fediverse they'd probably stick to these principles since they are the only reason why you'd want to go with them over the competitors in the first place, right? So it could be a good thing maybe.

  • If a glorified autocomplete algorithm can write more informative and concise commit messages than you, the actual author behind the code, I think you need to sit down and think long and hard what that actually implies.

  • The anti capitalism jokes are just as relevant and funny today as they were back than

    I agree they are just as relevant today, probably even more so, however I didn't find them that funny since they are just making the same "joke" all the time. They don't really say anything or go deeper into the situation beyond "haha corpos are cartoonishly evil", over and over and over again, there was no nuance and I expected more out of an obsidian game. It's all just a themepark with throwaway jokes.

    Again, maybe it gets better later and I didn't get there, I only visited one or 2 planets after the first one and I couldn't stand it anymore so I never finished it.

  • Can't wait to get more Losomn content! Remnant 2 is an fun experience and a great follow-up to the first game, if you liked that one you definitely need to give R2 a try too

  • I found the corporate greed jokes overdone and the humor and commentary very shallow. The skill progression was boring (just numerical stat increases mostly), itemization basically nonexistent (just one overall outfit armor slot, also with minor stat increases?) and the combat was tedious. Maybe the story gets better later but I wasn't a fan of the overall lore or the way dialogue choices were written either.

    I really wanted to like it since usually I'm a sucker for "own a spaceship and explore the world with your crew" stories and games but I bounced off OW so hard. Glad to hear other people had more fun with it but it's definitely not for everyone.

  • I am not that desperate to get it working there, it was just an example, but still good to know thanks! Hopefully they add proper psaswordless support eventually.

  • More that there’s only so much you can do with a looter shooter

    Warframe seems to disagree, for better or worse they have a new gimmick every few years to keep it interesting, and a pretty good and interesting story to go along with it. I'd sooner say it's just destiny's problem in this particular case.

  • but I’m pretty sure customers don’t actually want the same game and content for forever.

    The success of long lasting MMOs like WoW, EVE, FFXIV, GW2, Warframe seems to suggest otherwise, as well does the longevity of games like Fortnite, LOL and other non-MMO gaas games. There are even other examples that I'd count - I'd call paradox games like stellaris GaaS as well since they live off constant updates (stellaris has had them for 7 years now and going) and paid DLC. Hell, there's people that have been playing Ark, Rust and games like that for a decade now.

    So I'd say there is definitely an audience for it, a massive one, as long as its done well. Destiny devs just sucked at it and had years of controversies, this is just the latest of their fumbles.

  • Oh no, are we gonna see corporations go after mods now, under the guise of morality and public decency? Fuck offffff

  • That's pretty good, I still wonder how long will it take for companies to actually implement them in practice though. Steam still uses its frustrating steamguard instead of just letting us use any generic 2FA provider like aegis for example, I doubt they'll implement this any time soon.

  • We really don't know enough to tell whether it's gonna work out or not, feels like people are just using it to confirm their existing bias at this point. Vampyr was a AA game with a voiced protagonist and it was excellent, really elevated the game further for example. Maybe it will be the same here.

  • Are there any docker FOSS alternatives? It sounds like a good thing in practice but yeah, they seem to have too much power atm.

  • Fediverse in general really needs to adopt the multireddit approach to feed categories, or in other worlds let us group them properly. Sometimes I want to see news, sometimes I want to hear from some content creators and other times I might want to see what my friends are up to. Keeping it all in one feed (even worse if it's just chronological) is just a terrible way of handling it.

    Dunno if lists are quite that but maybe we're finally moving towards it at least.

  • They are either a troll or an idiot, in either case best to just mute and move on instead of giving them attention.

  • GL with that in space 😁

  • It was a ridiculous claim to begin with, there's no way they wouldn't see something like that when analyzing with internal tools or doing any performance runs.
