Yep, different style of games. I need to give Factorio another shot, it seems really up my alley but I couldn't get into it.

I'd rather have a 20 hour game that is engaging the entire time than a game that has a ton of filler in it.

That would be hilarious if someone made a website showing how they are using pirated Nintendo games (complete with screenshots of the games, etc) to show how they are "training" their AI just to watch Nintendo freak out.

Yep, it's something to consider when looking at multiplayer games and how "friendly" the developer/publisher has been in the past.

Rockstar, for example, has always been super shitty towards PC gamers.

Apex Legends was a bit of a surprise to me, and especially the doubling down with that stupid chart.

The big issue is when they randomly add it in the future. You can't buy games assuming they'll continue to work.

I switched from EmuDeck to RetroDeck, mainly because I wanted to sync everything between multiple computers using SyncThing and EmuDeck throws data everywhere (mainly due to using Flatpaks).

I set up RetroDeck the way I wanted it and then I ran the installer for EmuDeck, choosing the option to uninstall (was a while back, my mind is hazy on the details). It actually did uninstall it, though I think I had to delete a couple directories. It was pretty cleanly uninstalled, from what I recall.

Now I only have to sync one directory for RetroDeck, which also makes backups easy. The install also feels a lot more simple.

I think everyone has their favorite. I've been using Heroic for anything not-Steam.

GOG is the GOAT, but this meme misses the mark.

Honestly, Discord is 100 times worse for the same reasons.

For the time being, Proton is good enough for me. I think devs/publishers refusing to enable their chosen anticheat to work with Proton is what is holding things back now for tech people. For other people, there's even bigger challenges, and I doubt they even read up on these "tech nightmares" so they're good with just continuing on with Windows.

Maybe they should, gasp, include chargers with phones! What a concept...

 

A notification popped up on my phone today talking about this. I hit the button to adjust the settings and found that it was opt-out.

No, I don't want my app usage being used for ads. I don't want targeted advertising at all, but none of our fucking countries will take a stand against this shit.

This might be the thing that finally pushes me to switch to GraphineOS.

There was a time that I felt like Google was one of the good guys; they seemed to be doing great things with their products and pushing Linux. Now I feel like I want to de-Google my life.
