Agreed. I know that my leaving isn’t going to change the platform, get Spez fired, or have any substantial effect. But the key thing is I know that I’m not supporting it.

You’re not kidding. Legit looks like someone just took the models from StarCraft and then freshened them up. Protoss Terran Zerg, all of them. In fact you could have removed the context and just showed me the raw footage and I would have arrived at the same conclusion, that it was a mod.

I use zerotier as a way to connect to my private emulated servers without having to worry about connecting to an external IP address and opening up a ton of ports. Plus if you have a dynamic IP, the address can change. Some people set up a domain name to circumvent the dynamic IP, but it still means you have to port forward. Zerotier solves it via creating a manageable virtual lan network. Think Hamachi.

In my use case, I run a solo EverQuest server emulator, WoW server emulator, City of Heroes, Ultima Online. I simply spin up my virtual machine connected to zerotier then boot up my steam deck. Then I can connect to them while I’m out and about at a hotel, friends place, etc.

It’s lightweight, so not much bloat, does exactly what I need it to do and initializes on startup. Then if you want to disconnect/reconnect, it’s really simple to do. Been using it for about a year now. Zero complaints (no pun intended).

Yeah, not a bad idea to hedge your bets. With all luck, it’s not for another long while. I know for myself, I’ll buy mostly on Steam, but if I got a game I really really like and want to preserve, I’ll get it on GoG then stash it on an external SSD. So if shit hits the fan and Valve grows devil horns overnight, I’ll at least have my favorite games sans DRM.

Holy shit man. I don’t know what it takes for the death penalty in Australia, but this would be a strong contender in my opinion.

It wasn’t .99 but it was 2.50 at one point, and that was Terraria. Poured over a thousand hours into it. The consistent free mega updates they push out breathe life into it and I’ve been floored how much they’ve supported the game well over a decade since it’s launch. The team there could have just walked away after the 1.1 launch which helped fix some bugs and introduced some new things and called it a wrap. I’m very glad they didn’t

I’ve been following these guys closely. The exchangeable graphics card is huge. I’m interested to see how “future proof” It is, as I’m sure there are certain limitations as graphics cards get “bigger and better.” I’m sure there will be limitations by the modular design into the amount of power it can process.

Yup. A quick tap of the horn or double tap is fine. Even a 1 second blast. Once we get into 2 seconds blast territory, it transitions to rude, with 3+ seconds going up linearly on the deranged jackass scale

This makes me think of Titanfall

The electrical tape approach is what I did and it did wonders. Went from having a myriad of green and blue LEDs on my fans/portable AC/etc to complete wonderful darkness when I retired for the night. Made a distinct difference in my ability to fall asleep faster at night. I hate having lights when going to bed. Darkness or bust.
