I fail to see how a Steam's quasi monopoly should affect game engines sales. Or is that about Fortnite ? Because I have an easy answer right there : its main demographics are kids who are either locked to their console's ecosystem, or on the off chance that they're playing on PC, they likely don't have 587 unplayed games in their steam library, so they couldn't care less that the game all their friends play is on EGS.
That is basically the strategy with all the free games imo. Trying to reproduce what steam did (through big sales and some very alluring giveaways during the first ones, e.g literally get all current and future Steam games for free, or the top 10 games on your wishlist, etc) on these kids, so they stay on that store.

I think PC gamers' boner for Steam is extremely unhealthy and has been slowly killing the only good storefront for a while (GOG) and will blow up in our faces when (not if) Gabe ends up being replaced by some suit who only cares about money.

Epic probably bankrolled a significant chunk of development to get that deal. Whether accepting the deal was a bad move or not is really hard to say

Western Digital used to be great. Don't know if they still are. I never had an issue with any of my HDDs from them (I only ever bought the high end stuff though)

Yeah I like meat but that is a stupid argument unless you hunt all your meals yourself.

If the light is not dynamic at all, no. If it has stuff like dynamic shadows it will require more processing power to render frames than if the light was off, which probably makes the CPU/GPU draw slightly more power

Know thine enemy.

Her insta says "entrepreneur". Which is... interesting, given that the vast majority of civil servants are forbidden from exercising any other profession in France.

Yes, and the kitten just plops down wherever in contact with one leg or more

Oriental shorthairs

I usually think that gamers are by and large not critical enough when it comes to valve, but surely if they wanted to make a closed off ecosystem they wouldn't have based it on Linux and open sourced it

Big "if" these days

Great stuff as always. I'll try to donate later this month

Yeah. But now they don't have any advantages over other cafés. Except the fact that their coffees basically double as a rich snack I guess.

Also, zomboid used to be a pixel game

Yeah I don't actually hate IPAs either but as you said, finding one that does not contain an ungodly amount of hops is pretty rare nowadays. I like APAs more because they seem to have been spared by that trend so far

"griffais" is also a past form of the verb "griffer" which means "to claw"

Might not even be road legal. IIRC they aren't in France because they are too wide

IPA haters rise up

Beer is definitely an acquired taste. Plus there is a big fad around IPAs lately which are stupidly bitter even by beer standards

IIRC you could just telekinesis the bodies since only the ones that were actually dead would react to it. But stomping on every body as Isaac Clarke's PTSD starts to set in is lore accurate.
