Refugees are a type of immigrant though.

I like realism. I also like fantasy. It's interesting to see different peoples takes on these characters imo. I think it would be boring if every time they make a new Superman franchise it was exactly like the last one.

Same rules apply. If you don't want it there, it's a weed. If you don't mind it being there, it isn't.

Capitalism isn't about anything other than keeping the ruling class rich and in power. How it chooses to do that has varied throughout time. During the 20th Century the lie was that "American Style" capitalism was fair because the capitalists would promote Laissez-faire style economics ("Free Trade") out of their mouths, while actually building monopolies.

With the rise of Trump-style 'conservatives' Republicans have adopted a new strategy, Mercantilism. Mercantilism doesn't even pretend to be fair or free. The word 'Competition' doesn't even appear anywhere in that article because competition is bad for Capitalists and they see no reason to continue to lie about that. They actively oppose free trade.

Even if 'Capitalists' possessed the ability to feel shame for being hypocrites (which they certainly do not), calling them out for not following along with the principles of 'the free market' does no good since they have abandoned advocating for that a while ago.

No. I was just confused. The first time I saw this was a few months before he died and I guess I didn't realize it was from years earlier. My bad.

Your comment for me reads as every legal immigrant is getting deported by ICE, not some but all

It's a significant number of them so far and I see no signs of it slowing down. Perhaps the goal is to deport every legal immigrant? At any rate it's enough of them to expose the lie that MAGAts have been spouting for the last decade that they "have no problem with immigrants, they have a problem with illegal immigrants." Clearly that isn't the case.

Besides even deporting just one LEGAL immigrant is one too many. Especially when they aren't just being deported, but being thrown in foreign prisons/ possible death camps.

and as the US isn’t the only country that has immigrantants, it reads as false

I'm still not sure what you are getting at, what does other countries having immigrants have to do with how we treat immigrants in the U.S.? Other countries also have authoritarian dictatorships, that doesn't mean we should have one here.

I do realize that. What does that have to do with my comment?

Why sunbathe when you can smear Orange shit all over your face and 'fool' people into thinking you aren't an undead ghoul- Donald Trump

Because to some people, liking a thing that they do not like is the equivalent of slapping them in the face.

I would say make sure people have a clear way of becoming legal immigrants.

Right now there are legal paths to immigration, and that's who ICE is deporting- people trying to do things 'the right way'.

We should make sure the labor laws are enforced for everybody regardless of their immigration status, that would go a long way towards addressing the issue you are talking about. It's not the fault of people desperate enough to accept being exploited, it's the fault of companies doing the exploiting, they are what needs to be fixed.

It's the Republicans who consistently vote against paying people a reasonable minimum wage and against protections for working people who are clearly to blame, but sure blame immigrants. Talk about not dealing with reality.

"Fun" fact. Trevor "Fell from his Balcony" and died shortly after this video.

What a weird coincidence.

Edit: Apparently it was a decade later. I was confused.

Only thing I, as a European, know about MLK is that “I have a dream” speech and that he has something to do with rights for black people in America. My memory stops there.

Unless this is a joke and I'm just being dense, I believe Natanox was talking about Martin Luther, and not Dr. Martin Luther King Jr (MLK).

Cool, I'll check it out. I'm not a dev so I mainly use GitHub to download and install other peoples work. It's nice to know that there is a decent alternative for people who need it.

That used to be the case, it is enabled by default now.

Those instructions are about how to reinstall SteamOS on your deck. A little further down the page it talks about how to install on other handheld PC's like the Legion Go and ROG Ally.

Currently, expanded support includes devices with AMD hardware and an NVME drive, targeted toward handheld devices. Please note, support for all devices that is not officially 'Powered by SteamOS' is not final (currently anything that is not a Steam Deck or Legion Go S)

While you technically can download it and people have been able to install it on their PC's, Valve doesn't recommend doing so.

They probably will (hopefully) have a version targeted toward PC's in the future, but it's not there yet.

If you want a SteamOS style experience on desktop you would be better off using Bazzite since that is what it's designed for.

You are correct that it is possible to do, but it's not recommended.

If you are going to compete with AAA games it's going to require a big budget, which not all Devs have access to.

A high quality AA game would probably do great, but would be unlikely to outsell a AAA with hundreds of millions of dollars for budget.

Obsidian made a fantastic game with Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire but it was considered a 'failure' sales wise (at least at launch), despite being well received.

Obsidian sold to Micro$oft despite making very high quality games and their crowdfunding campaigns consistently earning more money than they were asking for. The stated reason was they found it hard to keep their employees paid consistently and they didn't want to lay people off. Also that they thought they could do just as good as other big players in the industry if they had access to larger budgets.

I think it was a bad move. They managed to survive the massive round of 9,000 jobs cuts to Microsoft's gaming division (this time), but you just know that Microsoft would cut them in a heartbeat if they thought it would save them a dime in the future. That being said I think it's understandable to want to see your employees paid, and it's just a sad fact that AAA games require huge budgets nowadays, so I can kind of understand why they sold, even if I don't agree with it.

You Don't Need a F-ing Publisher*

*unless you do.

It would just require smaller teams making lower budget games that are more focused on Art than sales, which I would be really happy about honestly. Too many people are in this industry solely to rake in the big bucks.

Very often they do, but not always. In this particular case they do.

Not a problem at all. If you do end up having difficulties you might try a different distro, I've heard a few people complaining about Mint lately. In theory though it should work just fine.

In my personal experience every game I've tried to play works just as well or better than it does on Windows. Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3, Prey, Red Dead Redemption 2, The Outer Worlds, No Mans Sky, Pathfinder Kingmaker, Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2, Divinity Original Sin 2, Skyrim SE, Fallout 4 & 76 etc. Even older games like Baldur's Gate and the Original Fallout work great* :)

Edit: *The GOG versions, which I use the Heroic Games Launcher to play.
