And King Crimson fans!

To be fair, except for GOG, none of the games bought on digital stores are ever really yours. See the recent debacle about The Crew.

I wasn’t calling out anyone on anything! I’m perfectly aware “1%” was a hyperbole, but I’m genuinely curious about crypto projects that aren’t snake oil.

You f*d up at the part where you didn’t start explaining in song, orchestra and all.

git: 'go' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is
	log

Any examples of the 1%? Outside of a few cryptocurrencies, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a project self-identified as “crypto” that wasn’t a con

Isn’t it true specifically on Windows, because the Windows implementation of OpenGL is lacking, but false on Linux?

I didn’t know Tom Zarek was a returning actor from the original BGS series! And the actor of Captain Apollo, no less.

The solution is install with apt.

I checked on my machine, and out of all the packages I had on snap, only Inkscape, VLC and Slack were also available on apt. Spotify, Whatsdesk (a WhatsApp client) and Signal were among the most commonly used missing.

If you already own a decent PC, most of these games have already been released there, although later than on PS5. Only ones missing from that list so far are GoW: Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2.

Doesn’t “opening up patents” means that anyone can use the ideas behind the patent without charge? Which means that it’s actually not locked anymore, so yes it does help?

I’m also surprised that people see this kind of ads: I haven’t seen any since I removed Outlook free (after Windows prompted me to switch because the older UWP Mail app was being retired). I’m always surprised when people complain about the number of ads they get in Windows.

But that’s not the point: the point is no paid software should contain any ad.

Do you have a better source than this jpeg?

Our vestigial tail is the coccyx, and animals with tails have bones in them. Why would a vestigial tail grow at the base of the neck?

For some reason I can’t see your answer on the post: despite us being both from lemmy.world and me being able to otherwise access your profile and see your posts and comments, the only way I can see it is in my notifications, not as an answer to my post. Anyway.

That’s why the original argument is inherently flawed: for the same price, I’d rather have 20 hours of carefully crafted content than 500 hours of AI generated fetch quests in a basic, procedurally generated open world from the latest version of the Ubisoft game framework. As a customer, I’m not buying playtime, I’m also buying the quality of that playtime.

This is also why we don’t pay for a movie, an album, or even a show or an exhibition by their duration.

If video games were priced by hours of dev time, I could kind of agree (with the theory, in practice it doesn’t really make sense). But let’s be honest here - that’s not what he means at all.

I think it’s even simpler than that: they want a share of Google’s data, and more control about what ads they can show to their customers constantly. Their hardware platforms are okayish and sold for a quite low price, but they monetize it on ads.

No no no I’ll stop you right there as you don’t seem to get it: it’s shitty in either case and must be called out, it’s just that it’s more recent for MK1. You don’t get to sell a game 70€ and expect players not to complain when integral parts of it are held behind paywalls.

Your explanation is interesting (and I learned a thing or two), but it fails to explain how such a term as Taco Tuesday could be considered a trademark in locations where the owner of the trademark is implanted.

Well apparently not it seems

I would go as far as to say that this is for sure an opinion.
