The thing is this is a legitimate problem for the overall success of this. And the success of Linux as a general gaming OS. If people can’t play their staples like CoD or fortnite or anything else with this problem, then that’ll be enough to decide not to get this. Most people here probably don’t care, but we’re not the majority. And a lot of us probably aren’t in the market for this anyway.

To be fair, I don’t watch either of those youtubers. So I had no knowledge of this.

Well we have a guy who created the Linux kernel… and a shitty youtuber.

If a game isn’t easy to play with a controller then I’m probably just not going to play it with a controller to begin with honestly, track pads or no. If I have to mess with stuff in desktop mode on my steam deck then I use the pads but otherwise, I haven’t really found them useful.

Do what you find morally best in that situation. Loyalty to a nation is honestly stupid to begin with. Use your brain and think. And if that means staying out of it, then stay out of it.

Smart answer: put it all towards my student loans

Assuming I need to like, actually pay for a good or service… New computer, new computer chair, gifts for Christmas, fancy digital piano, a couple gift cards to a restaurant I like, a handful of games, some nice but kinda expensive clothes, some VSTs…

If I quickly math all this out with generous assumptions for the price… That still puts me well under 20k. I dunno, I’ll go eat at a favorite restaurant of mine and tip the waitstaff whatever is left.

Sadly I’ve got too many programs that don’t work on linux, or don’t work well. And an old synthesizer that I can’t imagine would work on linux unless I made a driver for it myself, and that’s a bit beyond me.

I don’t know if it’ll be VR but the short version is there’s a lot of code in the source 2 updates that directly point to the development of a new half-life game.

With the fact there’s apparently surprisingly reasonable evidence of a new half life game, I wonder if that’s likely to get announced when they give these a release date. I could see them bundling it with the steam machines at least. Assuming the rumors turn out to be true.

Sure. I have no attachment to my last name.

Environmental issues aside, it’s just kinda useless for anything I’d want to use it for. It’s unreliable for even basic research so I’d have to double check anything it’d spit out, so I might as well just skip it and do the research myself to begin with. I don’t care to chat with it or generate images/videos. As a new hobby programmer, I’ve been warned against using it for that from people I know who do it regularly. According to them, it’s not very good at debugging, and the code it writes tends to be bad even when it works.

So, it just seems like a waste of time.

“I’m fine with supporting a nazi who wants to kill trans people, but I draw the line at joking about divorce”

Lol

So it doesn’t besides the point where it does.

The art is a product of the artist. Their beliefs, opinions, and ideals. Separating them is an impossibility.

“We send our deepest sympathies to the cat’s owner”

Did you even read it?

Did you read it? Or did you just ctrl+f “pet”? Because it specifically mentions the cat having an owner.

If you let your cat roam around outside, you don’t care about it and don’t deserve it. And if it gets killed, it’s entirely your fault.

She’s playing the terf wizard game? Is the wedding off then?

If he uploads his consciousness I’m going to download a copy of it, mod it into the Sims, and torture it on loop.

Let’s find out.
