Yikes. If Google required custom builds of games, it seems like they ignored a lot of what's happening in the rest of the industry. Proton is free, open-source, and strives for compatibility with Windows games. Could have used that. Th

To me, even a single instance of this is more hurtful and wrong than every other usage of the word "kike" online combined. Better one hundred guilty people go free than one innocent be convicted wrongly. Something is horribly brok

Don't you sign into Rockstar Launcher / Social Club with a Rockstar account in order to play online? Can he not just log into the same game, same launcher, same account on PC and pick up where he left off? I've played RDR2 si

Refunds are nice and all, but gaming is a time investment too. Wonder if they will allow exporting savegames, or will people's progress be black-holed?

I discovered WoW emulators very recently and it is shockingly easy to set up a server. You can go from nil to working in 30 minutes of reading docs, with minimal Linux/MySQL knowledge. AzerothCore seems to be the standout project in th

Wondered this too. That video along with the millions of ASMR videos on YouTube have very nice binaural stereo sound, but I don't see this being done anywhere else.

The article (written by a black person, I'll note) seems to include heavily editorialized racially charged undertones that may not even exist with regards to the actual product. It's a simple fact that there is no such thing as &q

Similar to how your comments signal that you have a weird personal vendetta against pickup trucks?

I understand this. It seems like this situation would be avoidable by an individual, but not by society at large because most individuals would take the path of least resistance. Could you send mail through the post? Call on a telephone?

You've commented twice here to the effect that there are many reasons why a person might be forced to use Facebook. Care to elaborate? I can't think of any. If the society in which one lives is backwards to the point of mandating

This is interesting. Communities like postmarketOS put in a lot of effort to adapt their distribution to hardware that would otherwise be running Android. Perhaps targeting commodity hardware is a more viable strategy than contending with n

Guess not. This must be why some organizations maintain warrant canaries. Of course Meta probably receives enough search warrants to make a canary useless, but it begs the question: if they had one, how many times per day would it need upda

Agreed on your points but less sexism please. The really important part is: when you decide to break an unjust law, don't talk about it on surveilled platforms, they're complicit and will hand your ass in. Don't bring your sm

"It must be possible to [...] contact customer support" I'll stop you right there. While I feel for the folks affected by this, they're not customers. And there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Broadband access

I hope Valve isn't acquired by Microsoft. Gabe left Microsoft to found Valve so as long as he's around I can't ever see that happening. Is it known who will helm Valve if Gabe decides to leave? Plagman has been a big name the

EA perpetuates practices that hurt customers, too. I used to unapologetically pirate video games and only within the past two years have I finally come full circle and begun purchasing games, both new titles and older ones I had played in t
