Well played sir, well played.

Technology isn't the hard part of OF. Money and moderation are. Most of the big payment suppliers like PayPal and credit card companies are vary about porn or outright ban it. So you need a partner who will take the money from customers and give it to you. And then you might need a different (or same) partner to give the money to the content creators.

And all the time you have to make sure that none of the creators are hosting illegal material or something that is not allowed by the money transfer providers.

But from the point of view of the creators all the money handling is the biggest service OF provides.

I got a Quest 1 (back when it was still supported) for cheap on ebay. PC VR and sideloaded free games and piracy have kept me afloat. I'm not even logged in to Meta's shit.

I wonder what the dev part of devops means.

I mean, isn't that kind of the point of containers? To basically have the same environment everywhere.

Looks like Nothing.

Why three comments? 😜

There are clients that group posts that link to the same URL and show comments from all instances. And I think Piefed does that as well.

Wow, I never expected the Tomb Raider remasters to be given away so early.

Oh, a Steam Machine?

It's conflicting because it depends™. By default Lemmy is configured to mirror images by remote instances so as to not overwhelm them with traffic. But most instances turn that off because of the storage cost.

Finally someone gets it. The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club.

Of course it's dumbassery. Too many people taking me seriously or as a reliable source of information, when I cut out half of its answer.

I tried the PC version the other day for the first time, to finally see what the real game looks like. Might be nostalgia, but I thought the Wii version is actually better. I should install a Wii emulator to properly compare them.

I was just really really disappointed with the controls on the Wii. The first one was so intuitive and they just went and changed it for no reason.

Wolfram Alpha maybe. Or a LLM.

Neverwinter Nights

The multiplayer is supposedly incredible. But I remember being extremely whelmed by the main game.

But it's hard to remember the mid games. Because it is very likely that they didn't leave any lasting impression.

And especially if previous titles in a series or from a studio were great a mid game would feel disappointingly bad. Although compared to other games they might actually still be considered great.

Do you mean Mario Bros:

Or Super Mario Bros? They are very different games.
