People whose views align with nutjobs think that everyone else is being dramatic.

Don’t forget about moderation. It’s all fun and games until someone starts posting hate speech, copyrighted material, porn (legal or otherwise) or worse…
The guy wasn’t talking about vaping though, but smoking. The one we know for sure gives you a ton of issues and health problems.
Whilst I agree it’s not a great analogy for right wing beliefs, I’d say it works as a good analogy for incel behaviour. I knew a guy who had fallen into that trap but managed to find his way out. When I asked him about it, he said it helped him cope, that it was easier to believe that it wasn’t his fault things were so shitty.
I really respect how he was able to realise that the things he and the people around him were saying was bullshit, and it made me realise that a lot of these people are being taken advantage of by “influencers” spewing this harmful rhetoric.
I can get the transfers between friends part, but why between platforms? That makes zero sense from a business standpoint.
The only way that would work is to have game companies manufacture and distribute an external storage medium themselves, because platforms sure as hell won’t say “Oh you bought a license on another store? Sure, you can use our CDN for free!”. And now we’ve almost reinvented game CDs.
We may joke about valve not making games, but they do have a large amount of people working on various titles.
They also do a lot of R&D for hardware, like the Steam Deck and VR headsets.
I only learned about Everything recently, and damn I was impressed. I can’t believe I’ve been putting up with Windows’ default search for so long.
Started to get into this, and the tutorials are always saying to be mindful of the limits and optimise your stuff. I always had a feeling that there’s no way that everything I’ve seen fits in those limits, but hearing that most people don’t even try is saddening.
How’s that fairing? I’ll be switching once the last few games I care about get support, but as someone new to Linux with a NVIDIA card I’m feeling a little lost.
Lemmy likes to say Nobara is great for gaming but Mint is great for newcomers, and I really don’t want to have to come home and tinker with my PC after work.
Game mechanics can be patented. It’s stupid, but things such as “loading screen mini games” and “overhead arrows pointing to your objective” have been patented. The second I believe even got enforced once.
I think these kind of things have been getting approved less and less, but I wouldn’t be surprised if “balls that contain monsters” was patented back in the early days too.
