The problem with days old threads is I never remember the context. Looks like they were asking if Steams data would be more reliable. Tbh, I think Steam is great for gaming stats, not for general use stats. Statcounter supposedly uses what the browser reports when participating websites are visited.

I’m happy to see more Linux gamers don’t get me wrong. Steam is specifically gathering specs on people who game, the other stat counter (that reports 4% Linux use) is based on what people’s browsers are reporting.

Steam is only installed on one of my computers, I have at least four running Linux. Not to mention plenty of Linux users don’t game at all, so probably not.

I feel like they called themselves Godzilla but had to change it so they decided on Gojira. They have some heavy environmentalist themes to their lyrics so, makes sense.

Edit: they did, and they were legally compelled to change their name. Gojira is fine apparently. 👍

It’s a Timber Wolf from Battletech/MechWarrior also known as a Mad Cat because on radar, it would flicker between Marauder (MAD), and Catapult (CAT).

The core similarity of all these platforms is content aggregation. The differences come down to how that content is served, categorized, and interacted with. Federation ideally distributes content to relevant communities, based on interest, regardless of platform preference.

Edit: Also, people you don’t like will be on every site. We have tools to democratically tell those people we don’t like their ideas, so using them will make every platform better.

Not every game needs PvP. Helldivers is more of a wave shooter with it’s design intent, so players are scaled to numerous weaker foes, not other players. Balancing for PvP would be a pain, and unnecessary since there are a ton of PvP third-person shooters already.

So this comment made me do some research.

Under “Known Proton Issues” the point “Anti cheat”. Seems like there is a user-space solution for Proton, avoiding the need for a kernel-space anti cheat.

It’s not perfect, and be as paranoid as you see appropriate, but I’m a bit relieved to have found that info. Another win for Proton in my book.

No wonder Bandai Namco are making big statements about game quality. They just lost their golden goose.

I think you’re missing the point.

When someone is outwardly hateful toward others for things outside of their control (race, gender, ability), that’s generally viewed as intolerance.

Tolerance, is me recognizing you have the right to believe whatever you want, and letting you do so, as long as you’re not obstructing anyone else’s right to do the same.

The paradox is basically saying a negative reaction to a hateful behavior, is not itself hateful. Identity politics doesn’t agree, and makes those who identify as hateful (knowingly or not), feel hated.

Violence is a further escalation of things that the concept of tolerance inherently tries to avoid.

Can you provide any examples of this? Not sure what point you’re trying to make here.

If you tolerate intolerance, intolerance will rule. It’s literally a paradox by definition.

The “left identity” is wanting everyone to have healthcare and education to struggle less. The “right identity” is quite loudly screaming about hurting the people they don’t like.

“The paradox of tolerance states that if a society’s practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them.”

Sure, but only after Bloodborne. The PS4 gem locked to one console matters far more to me than the PS5 remake of a PS3 game that I could emulate no problem.

Passion makes better games than deadlines.

Let them cook.

Being carried by From Software, who if I recall are going to be self publishing now?

Obligatory Bloodborne when?
