There is ALSO a Long Play category for games, which is videos that do a full play through of a game with zero commentary, and in as few segments as possible. (Many longplays are just one video.)

Well hey, if that allows you to cut down on a lot of whatever chrome's doing, yay. :)

Not sure you can do anything there, unless you intend to change the chromium source. The problems here are on the hardware level, which you're, owing to sitting on top of chromium, far removed from. That said, i don't use Postma

I know it's a rare case, and i haven't been able to reproduce it 100% reliable, but in most cases when 4+ chromes want to do stuff, my hardware goes "nope, fuck that" and degrades performance for everything while spoolin

Have a 100% solid reason why: There's already too many of them, and some hardware doesn't like having too many chrome instances running at once. My PC is an i7 with 4 hyper-threaded cores, and an Nvidia Quadro 2000M. I usually hav

I've seen discussions about replication a lot. Isn't it more often than not the case that replication is made expensive because the paper describing it simply leaves out too many details, making replication more of a guessing exer

They're not "blocking" updates, they've stopped writing and compiling them with the backwards compatibility shims that made them work on older hardware. They probably do this because it drives updates AND because it&#x27

Valve is providing parts of the game that as far as i know are 100% and unequivocally optional and provide the user no benefit whatsoever. How does this hurt people? How does it compare to the hurt caused by F2P strategies i described?
