Homo Homini Lupus Est
Wouldn’t say that. There is more to humanity than dystopian capitalist fantasies. I, e.g., work for free to help people. You might do too, if you got what YOU need from others. But yeah, not gonna happen. The vast majority of people will always stay slaves, they just don’t really realize it (yet).
My toast falling onto the carpet with the jelly side first? Capitalism.
Joke aside, yes. But this time it’s a clear enemy called AI. So people have something to blame, while evading the real culprit.
Aye, I also rarely understand the motivation. Must really be that those who decide have no real clue about what a computer or a game is.
In the last decade i highly drifted towards indie games and rarely even check AAA anymore. No innovation, no risk, nothing fresh nor great. Just re-iteration of what has already been done before. Milk every franchise until even the hardcore-fans are bored to oblivion.
It’s so sad, and I’m passionately gaming since pacman on the Atari 2600
Easy solution: fuck denuvo. Fuck the games that use it. And also fuck windows.
Edit: it has been shown many many many times over the many many many years, that preventing Piracy doesn’t mean increased sales or vice versa.
Those who don’t buy because the can’t, won’t play It if DRMed (loss not even near the cost of denuvo)
Those who don’t buy because they make informed decisions, won’t buy or play it, if DRMed (loss plus denuvo cost)
And many would buy a game even if it’s non-DRM-ed just because they liked it and want to support the devs. I bought soooo many games AFTER I already finished them or were halfway through.
And putting denuvo on it, instead of giving me a demo? Fuck you. I know the game is shit just by that.
Oh so I might give it a shot. Would never buy their stuff though. Then again, I should rather use gimp.
Honestly I recently only used some portable warezed one. CC6 or 2024 or whatever they call their shit now. I lost interest when they switched to that cloud-nonsense. Which is sad because I was there when they introduced Photoshop and i loved it. Newer than 2024 will probably just be worse. I’d bet they put a lot of effort in their DRM which naturally breaks things
fair point, and I do hope so…
That was my biggest gaming-fear when switching. Turned out, it all just works too. So far at least. Wow, satisfactory, core keeper, subnautica and some others.
Even cheatengine and the modmanagers all worked fine.
The only thing I’ve found not working so far is destiny2. But they can go fuck themselves anyway.
Unless she’s a pro, why does she even care? My wifey would just want her browser, mails and is already using libreoffice. Browser looks the same as win, so could the whole OS if one prefers.
But yeah sure, wouldn’t force her to any OS either,I’m not suicidal 😁
Exactly. I retired in my 20s and couldn’t complain. But compared to those that fuck everything up, I’m as far away from them as the next homeless guy.
When I grew up, having a million was considered rich beyond imagination. Kinda. Nowadays it would probably not even be enough.
And you’re right. It’s not just their money, it’s what they do with it. Control, scheme, manipulate, and whatnot…
Probably rather the latter 😁 But yes, sure. Valid point. Nice devices but too locked
Don’t forget turning the peasants against other peasants. That works awesome!
And “wealthy” isn’t really it. The superrich do that. Being wealthy just means you don’t need to overly worry about money. I’m wealthy, but I hate the system and how the world is doing. I’d prefer socialism, even if it meant to give up certain standards.
True true. Can’t hurt to have. I went through great hassles to set up Linux besides my old win install and also made a VM out of it for those “I don’t wanna boot again”-moments.
Turns out, I never actually needed either. And I was surely deep into win and half of my tools were self made and now obsolete. Everything just works and works better, more comfy and even faster.
Not played genshin yet, but you might like where winds meet? Incredibly beautiful, good combat, exploring is rewarding. And totally free. And runs wonderfully on Linux, even with HDR.
Dunno about current adobes, but don’t they also run fine via wine? Have only one single tool so far that makes a bit trouble (mediamonkey).
I wouldn’t say “great”. But great in comparison to 11 😁 But who needs 6 years of transition? The run-of-the-mill-user with office and Firefox could just switch and not even notice it. Despite libreoffice loading much quicker.
Exactly. It just delays the inevitable (maybe even sooner if something denies to run on “this old unsupported version”). As an old win-lover I never thought I’d say this:
Better switch to Linux, most of everything windows still works, everything else is just better and faster.
And what does that accomplish? Delaying the actual problem to 2032?
You’re absolutely right. Totally unrelated: wanna try some free blow?
Oh wow, yeah. One phone in one specific version or setting is ownable by exploit. until fixed. I’m flabbergasted.
Make them all ownable, by default, by law.
I don’t pay >1k moneyz to basically rent a phone that is never mine.
Yup. But it doesn’t have to be. This species just sucks :)
