After using lutris I very much appreciate valves huge effort that makes you forget what OS you are on since you just click play and have a good time. Where hardcore, extreme tweaking is selecting another proton from a dropdown menu. I don’t even know prefixes existed until I was forced to use lutris. In my experience it seems OS communty made games run on linux so OS and linux hobbyists can play games easily. Valve made it so regular folks can play games easily. I patiently await more people to come over to linux so that I can use my hotas as well.

Oh yes the community laid the bricks but as we seen with linux desktop its the easy to use part thst actually gets users to go there.

Nobody is forcing customers to exchange their money for that specific good or service. In gaming and tv, customers can also get services and products for free.

The person paying every single valve employees checks. That’s what a customer is. Customers have rights and are the only ones who control wether the company lives or dies.

next fests, returns, single handedly making linux a viable gaming platform for the casual user, popularising vr, having reasonable refunds, steam client having basically all the functions youd ever need, forcing companies to be upfront about kernel level anti cheat, etc. Valve is nowhere near as bad as ea, ubisoft, etc.

Valve is basically the only decent american big games company. I understand some need the narrative for the promised class war in order to distract you from the crisis in democracy, but not everyone with a company is literally lenin or stalin or polpot or hitler.

That is really cool! Hope you find the fun and manage to make something cool out of this.

As a beginner I found godot unnaproachable and confusing. Then I did a course at uni to program in python and a few tutorials done from beginning to end later, it makes sense.

Deleted spotify, now use Soundcloud and Tidal. Reminder soundcloud has by far the most music on it.

Yes. Blade of grass to orbit.

I also hate that yt has enshittified to where it no longer has new or interesting stuff to reccomend. All my subs are from years ago as of late it doesn’t reccomend me anything but the biggest channels.

Trying it on my phone,thanks for the push.

Fuck big tech. They will keep enshittifying everything unless they are kept afraid all users might leave.

If nobody tipped the restaurants would have to pay their service staff or they would have no employees.

In most of the world tipping is optional or tops out at 15% as a reward for exceptional service. They get paid to do their job since the cost of food already has the cost of service in there.

The fact you have to say “likely” rather than “outright bullshit” says everything. As an european If america didn’t exist I’d know this image is a joke.
