Just a humble squid that over produces slime. Buy my slime, its a medical wonder, cures halitosis, weird eye syndrome, bolding.

  • downvoting is a form of expression, to label downvoting as disrespectful based on a narrow definition limits freedom of expression and overlooks the nuances. im a democratic socialist so voting is important to me.

  • That people agree/disagree?

  • its the picture, content and timing that two youtubers picked and used. this isnt me searching for Gray zone just front page of creators i sub to

  • Value is personal, I for one want a game, I dont want a bloated web browser that only connects through steam, which is what the steam client is. All the thing I need steam to do I can do and I can do it in a more agnostic way and less bloated. I use wayland therefore steam does not run without xwayland support enabled and even when enabled I can't stream my desktop over steam remote.

    • Can't use remote play and have an open source implementation that has fine tuning controls.
    • Installing mods through third party tools or manually is easy enough and allows for multiple distributors.
    • Dont use vr and even so its a closed ecosystem.
    • More than happy to visit steam in my own browser to buy and download games if that was possible.
    • Dont care for skins, cards, or any of the inventory system.
    • I talk to friends through open source solutions.

    If you do however want a streaming, mod manager, vr, forum, store front, download manager, DRM and much more in one bloated application then yes the value proposition is there.

    I highly value diy solutions in software, you on the other hand may not. And this is fine. GOG offers more to me than to you as steam offers less for me than for you.

  • all of the things you have listed are things we as individuals can and have implemented without steam, theyre pretty good like adding code to wine and pushing linux to the larger audience and i myself have been on steam for 11 years with 320 games, but integrated modding? i mean we had mod managers before steams implementation.

    game streaming we have moonlite and shunshine > for amd hosts, and theres more.

    input remapping can be done through standalone applications i use sc-controller for remapping my steam controller.

    id say steams vr client is more of a negative than a positive, leads to segmentation and issues with device support when we should of focused on a wide approach to vr. like what google did with android, funded a free and open eco-system>(less so now)

    steam sells accessibility and DRM, personally i see this as a bad thing. force people to become dependent. and while gog isnt natively on linux there are work around like downloading from gog.com or installing heroic games launcher.

  • Who wants to stand up all day though

  • No I wouldn't either and the place was a dive but the meat wasn't being sold for the pub to serve, police went in there trying to sell to anyone that would buy, the land lady just happened to be the one interested in buying the stollen meat

  • Can't read this, 5 paragraph down and ive had to stop, in general I see humanity as mostly good but this is sickening, and I forget we share this planet with scum

  • Its due to increasing budgets and lazy policing.

    The stolen meat one really annoyed me as its targeting the working class while inflation is in full effect

  • Damn that sucks, sorry your not a legacy user anymore.

  • Lol plot twist

    But really its crazy how many sting operations take place where I live and for real mediocre shit, like police undercover selling weed.

  • In the UK back in the earish DVD days I remember this dud would turn up at my uncles work and sell a fuck a ton of discs, he got arrested in a sting.

    police have way too much free time

    A pub owner near me also got arrested due to a sting where she was buying "stolen" meat from a police officer

  • I ran into issues with rocm support it does suck,Zluda looked promising but reading news it would seem nvidia is actively trying to ban it

  • Rocm might be worth looking into

  • Have you ever tried pirating these letter

  • Honestly its hard to read through the comments where one person is explaining how they'd pay for x but not z for whatever reason.
