People making the decisions are removed from how work gets done, how users engage with the product, and any real consequences. But they keep most the profits despite contributing minimally.

Capitalism. The people calling the shots and keeping the profits are not the people doing the work.

It’s bad and will continue to be bad for everyone except the top layer of rich people.

Does gog do cloud saves, game recording, remote play? You could probably do recording by launching the game via the steam client, I guess.

I don’t think you’re going to convince people by ignoring their actual reasons, and writing them off as cultists.

Turns out for some reason I thought the old 1920x1080 kind of display was 1k. Nope. That’s not what you call that.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. Got it before I got laid off and before prices went super crazy.

I’m only playing on a 1k 1080p monitor so i wasn’t pushing it very hard, but it ran without issue.

That worked for me fine on Linux (pop!_os). Remake worked on the steam deck, too.

Criminal penalties for decision makers. Jail time. Disgorgement of profits.

I haven’t purchased anything in months because my job pays badly, and fuck this capitalist hellscape, but if I was going to buy more games steam is the most likely source. Linux support, cloud saves, game recording, remote play, fairly unobtrusive client, drm at the seller’s discretion.

This is refreshing. I’m so tired of right wing people being like “the government can’t do anything right and I’m going to prove it by sabotaging and starving the government”.

Seems like most people don’t really care about or understand stuff like “private platforms enshittify”. Certainly not enough to be inconvenienced. People will be like “that’s where the good memes are” or “that’s where my video games post”. Heavens forbid you miss the hot memes.

I will continue to avoid McDonald’s. Not going to break a no-meat streak for a shitty burger.

Just spent 10 minutes fooling around with fluxer via the web ui. Was able to invite a dice bot, but couldn’t get it to respond. (Also it’s very D&D-specific, but that’s a separate complaint)

Looks so much like Discord

My understanding is a lot of the rich assholes with the power to do something about this view these deaths as desirable.

If Sony just sold games on more platforms…

I dislike AI. It’s like the one ring. Stop trying to use it. But all these people think they’re stronger than Boromir.

That’s tough. Lot of choices. Are we filtering by “most impactful” or “most likely to replay” or something else? I’ll go games that made a big impression on me. There’s some boss towards older games.

• Diablo
• Final Fantasy 7
• Baldur’s Gate
• Dark Souls
• Guild Wars 2

I already felt pretty good about not eating meat*. I think this would have have been a big motivator if I wasn’t already on board

*Ok, I’m kind of a half assed vegetarian. I generally don’t buy meat but if I’m at like a dinner someone else planned I might have some they cooked. It’s easier than going all the way to 100%, and has reduced my meat consumption by like 95%.

Natural consequence of capitalism.

I should look into matrix. I have a small group of nerds in my group. need video, voice, text, and image sharing. A dice bot is nice, too.
