Ummm... That's the case for disc games too of only being able to retain possession once it's shipped to you and you properly store it. Or any tangible good for that matter. I don't what point you are trying to make.

Those are terminologies corporations care about. But, for real life use there is a difference between a product that can be remotely taken away and products that can't. Otherwise could be argued there is no difference between a pirated copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 and a legit one, which there is once you try to play offline.

Pipepipe has been my go to YouTube app. I like it has sponsor block, and that I can also log into a Gmail account with it that it uses only for age restricted videos so I don't need the YouTube app.

Was easy to switch from syncthing to the fork too importing the configuration from syncthing into it.

Especially competition that actually delivers something unique a segment of the population wants as opposed to simply existing. Their DRM free stance and standalone installers are a pro consumer move giving control back to the consumer once they download the files.

Yeah itch lacks the bigger titles GOG has been able to pull.

Also pcpartpicker to track pc parts. Isthereanydeals for game prices.

Their entire video is an ad filled experience of shilling not only their sponsors but themselves. Incredibly obnoxious and cramming in every YouTube stereotype from begging for likes and subs to clickbait titles and then insisting they have to do it so they can have their cake and eat it makes them even more obnoxious than if they just did it without wanting to be forgiven for it.

KSC75 with parts express headband and Yaxi pads. KSC75x has mic, but no clue how the quality of the mic is.

I've enjoyed how I can still play the games I first got on my PC were increased resolution and fps by just going to the settings instead of begging for devs to push an update. Also not being rendered unplayable on new hardware like on my older consoles. For longevity my PC games have aged really nicely compared to the games I got for consoles over the generations.

Internet is weird for people who only stick to message board type social media like lemmy and reddit, and avoid account focused social media like tiktok, Twitter, Instagram, threads, etc.

Don't need it. Already set up label filters and disabled the default categories Gmail does, since led to me missing emails not checking categories.

Rotaeno and Cytus.

I like rhythm games so I prefer wired.

I got iPad for drawing and reading comics/manga on a bigger screen and reading/writing on PDFs.

He is taking on the noble fight for consumers. Exposing them for the crooks they are.

On July 27th (Saturday) I uploaded a new trailer announcing the Steam launch date. On July 30th (Tuesday) I was contacted by the Epic Store, proposing that I enter into an exclusivity agreement with them instead of releasing DARQ on Steam. They made it clear that releasing DARQ non-exclusively is not an option. I rejected their offer before we had a chance to talk about money.

....

It was important to me to give players what they wanted: options. A lot of people requested that DARQ be made available on GOG. I was happy to work with GOG to bring the game to their platform. I wish the Epic Store would allow indie games to be sold there non-exclusively, as they do with larger, still unreleased games (Cyberpunk 2077), so players can enjoy what they want: a choice.

I use Libre Office as a word and excel replacement. Might not be a replacement for everyone if perfect compatibility/formatting is needed for work, but for personal use it's been great.

If the point of cuts is given then business viability is quite important. Especially when it raises questions of whether GOG could sustain a lower cut. Those options you provided like Microsoft and Epic are multibillion dollar corporations capable of burning through money endlessly.

That's not what the conversation was about. It was about whether the business model is actually viable.

If the business of that section is turning a profit it lends more support as opposed to being seen as a side project that doesn't need to turn a profit. Which is why I included GOG into the mix, since Microsoft and Epic are huge companies with alternative revenue streams.
