Ah yes, I forgot folks with ADHD are also insane. /s

For folks with ADHD, like myself, slow talking video essays are a special kind of hell.

The problem with days old threads is I never remember the context. Looks like they were asking if Steams data would be more reliable. Tbh, I think Steam is great for gaming stats, not for general use stats. Statcounter supposedly uses what the browser reports when participating websites are visited.

I’m happy to see more Linux gamers don’t get me wrong. Steam is specifically gathering specs on people who game, the other stat counter (that reports 4% Linux use) is based on what people’s browsers are reporting.

Steam is only installed on one of my computers, I have at least four running Linux. Not to mention plenty of Linux users don’t game at all, so probably not.

Pierce, stop trying to coin the phrase, “Streets ahead”.

Community is streets ahead.

From the archlinux.org news post on the issue.

Arch does not directly link openssh to liblzma, and thus this attack vector is not possible.

Right? They don’t even need new tooling, just a shim the size of the stick housing and tape. Two years in on fixing all four of my joycons and not a single instance of drift since.

With the Switch controllers I found out the clicking action puts pressure on the back housing of the analog stick. Basically, the aluminum backing was bowing really bad. The best fix I found was to tape a couple layers of cardstock behind the housing so it made contact with the plastic shell. This presses the housing back into place, and also prevents it from protruding in the future.

Most likely. From Software traditionally make some of the best DLC in the industry.

I like glitchy stuff, and I had friends who added “-ington” to everything for laughs.

No, Steam is a package manager.

Steam: buy, download, and updates for me. Easier and more convenient than even piracy by design.

Website: doesn’t integrate with my package manager, doesn’t offer updates, doesn’t provide me any features.

Also from their own website in a Q&A format:

But I want to play it on my heavy computer that’s strapped to my face and sprays pixels into my eyeballs. Don’t see your favorite platform listed? Don’t worry. Throw your other platforms in the trash, and get it from one of the above!

“We want to provide Linux support, so we’re exclusive though the marketplace that hates Linux support.”

Coooooool…

“These ‘CAT’ cables, they aren’t made out of real cat right?”

Not every game needs PvP. Helldivers is more of a wave shooter with it’s design intent, so players are scaled to numerous weaker foes, not other players. Balancing for PvP would be a pain, and unnecessary since there are a ton of PvP third-person shooters already.

So this comment made me do some research.

Under “Known Proton Issues” the point “Anti cheat”. Seems like there is a user-space solution for Proton, avoiding the need for a kernel-space anti cheat.

It’s not perfect, and be as paranoid as you see appropriate, but I’m a bit relieved to have found that info. Another win for Proton in my book.

No wonder Bandai Namco are making big statements about game quality. They just lost their golden goose.

Sure, but only after Bloodborne. The PS4 gem locked to one console matters far more to me than the PS5 remake of a PS3 game that I could emulate no problem.
