_cryptagion,

Man, whatever universe you’re from, I wanna go there, since it sounds nice. I know you’re not from this universe, because if you were, everything you just said would be total bullshit.

I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store (lemmy.world) angielski

Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy… and then it’s only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can’t it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It’s so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic… which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

_cryptagion,

Steam, Epic, GOG, it’s all the same to me. I’m not gonna fanboy over one platform and miss out on a game. That’s just ridiculous.

_cryptagion,

I get a game and indie devs get millions. When you put it that way, it seems morally better to use Epic over Steam.

_cryptagion,

Well, if you don’t have any examples, why even frame it as a fact that just misinforms people? Just state it as an opinion and be honest.

_cryptagion,

Nothing has gone wrong, and it’s been going on for years at this point. But yeah, maybe you’re right. Maybe aliens will invade us because people use Epic. Maybe the sun will go supernova because the Epic store doesn’t have reviews.

Who knows, anything could happen.

_cryptagion,

They’re paying indie devs millions to remain exclusive for a year. What’s scummy is the Steam fanboys who see that and think it’s better for gamers if those games just aren’t financially successful.

_cryptagion,

You don’t even need to do that. Use Heroic and you can combine Epic, GOG, and Amazon into one launcher.

_cryptagion,

Great, the devs of good games deserve that money. The way you’re putting it, makes it seem morally just to buy Epic exclusives whenever possible. Thank you!

_cryptagion,

Steam isn’t trying to be a monopoly because they already are one. They’re now trying to keep that monopoly.

_cryptagion,

Ok, weird hill to die on, but I think everyone should be given the right to choose to end their life early, if they wish to, so I support your decision.

_cryptagion,

Still stupid as fuck, considering you don’t even need to use the Epic launcher for Epic games.

_cryptagion,

GOG is called Good Old Games for a reason. They aren’t losing out by having to wait. I always buy games there first, then Epic (if it’s an exclusive), then Steam.

Nothing beats GOG for preservation and gamers rights to actually own their games.

_cryptagion,

China can’t force Trojans to be installed on your PC. The fact that you believe that nonsense tells me you’re a fucking idiot.

_cryptagion,

What’s your point? Why would that matter if I’m not using their launcher when I play games from the Epic store? Just don’t use the Epic launcher. It’s not rocket science.

_cryptagion,

It’s not harassing me. I’ve bought Epic exclusives, and I’ll continue to do so if it’s a game I want to play. I always buy GOG first, Epic second (for exclusives), and Steam last, for anything else. This isn’t a problem for me.

_cryptagion,

No, that’s good DRM. You shouldn’t criticize the benevolent GabeN, may his corporate monopoly last forever.

Praise be!

/s

_cryptagion,

Tencent could own 100% of Epic, that doesn’t mean Epic is going to install malware on your PC for the Chinese government. That’s some top tier tinfoil bullshit. Nobody who lives in the US, which is where all the Epic employees and corporate overlords live, is going to risk going to prison for decades for espionage because their boss in China wants to steal data from gamers in the West.

You’re out of your fucking mind.

_cryptagion,

If a game works on Windows, there’s a 95% chance it works as good or better on Linux. The same can be said for MacOS apps, and Android apps, as there are packages to run those on Linux as well.

_cryptagion,

You don’t need to update them manually if you installed them using Heroic. You only need to update them manually if they were manually installed using a offline installer.

_cryptagion,

Yeah, but it’s different when Gabe does it. You know, just cause it is!

_cryptagion,

I don’t give any attention to the arguments that Steam is “more mature” in regards to features, when the vast majority of users don’t use those features to begin with. Steam has all the community features (and more) of Discord, but I would wager most of the fanboys in this thread don’t even know about that, or where to find those community features, let alone actually use them.

_cryptagion, (edited )

I know an update can contain malicious code, I’m saying you’re an idiot for thinking Todd Sweeney is going to go to prison so that China can steal data from a bunch of fat sweaty dudes.

Your comment is even more fucking idiotic when you consider Microsoft works with the NSA, and Recall will archive everything you do on your Windows PC for them to peruse at will without a warrant.

_cryptagion,

Is WeChat used in the US? Why the fuck are you using a Chinese app as your example, you could have done better than that, you twatwaffle.

_cryptagion, (edited )

What’s the point of your comment? It doesn’t change the fact that, at the end of the exclusivity period, those games will show up on GOG, which doesn’t care if they’re “old” games that don’t sell much.

Nobody is paying more than a couple dollars at most for Fallout 1 & 2, but do you see GOG throwing a fit about that? How do you suppose Epic exclusives are going to change that?

_cryptagion,

None, because I bought everything on the store I wanted in the last 50 seasonal sales. 😫

_cryptagion,

“Gods, I want to ride you ‘till you see stars.”

_cryptagion,

And 4chan has already been the recipient of government scrutiny, including a lawsuit attempting to shut them down.

_cryptagion,

Those hours were safely recalled from your memory by the government Bureau of Memetics to protect your peace of mind. Thank you for your understanding.

_cryptagion,

To be fair, Discord has been feeling the heat for a while, on multiple fronts and for multiple reasons. Not the least of which was a dumbass leaking classified information to his teenage buddies.

_cryptagion,

Oh man, what a game. I remember playing it as a kid.

Palworld Developer Reveals The Pokémon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating (kotaku.com) angielski

Looking up those patents, the first alludes to a system where a player aims and fires an “item” toward a character in a field, and in doing so triggers combat, and then dives into extraordinary intricacies about switching between modes within this. The second is very similar, but seems more directly focused on tweaking...

_cryptagion,

He’s just a generally shitty person in every thread he goes into.

_cryptagion,

Nintendo deserves a lot worse than that. It’s why I pirate all their games, even though I have a Switch laying around somewhere.

Mario plays better on the Steam Deck anyway.

_cryptagion,

There shouldn’t be.

_cryptagion,

I am not saying you can or you can’t, but if you could, and I’m not saying you can, download basically any ebook or audiobook you want from “mouse torrent site”. It’s a private tracker, so you do have to apply for membership, but it’s the best place on the net for books.

I grab audiobooks from there, then pipe them straight from qBittorrent into an Audiobookshelf server so me, my family, and my friends can stream them to any device.

_cryptagion,

I can’t overstate how nice it is having a tiny little Linux gaming PC in your backpack. It can run the majority of games I throw at it, from Cyberpunk 2077 to Stardew Valley. I replaced SteamOS with Bazzite, which is a little better IMO. And for the games I can’t get good performance with, it’s seamless to stream them from my Linux gaming rig. It also obviously works great for ROMs, and while some Switch games are glitchy, most run very well. You don’t have to limit yourself to games on Steam either, since it’s pretty easy these days to run any Windows, MacOS, or Android apps or games on Linux, and Heroic gives you 1-click installs for GOG and Epic game stores.

Battery life is around two and a half hours for a game like Cyberpunk 2077, and as much as 7-8 for something like Stardew Valley.

_cryptagion,

You could install that, yes. But keep in mind that distros made for the Deck include the game mode for the Deck, as well as Steam Input, which is one of the greatest things Valve has made, allowing you to make complex macros and rebind every part of the Deck, from the buttons to the trackpads or even the gyro, in almost any way you want. Without those things, the Deck is just a PC with a very small screen. Steam Input is what makes many games, even ones that were never meant to be played with a controller, viable on the Deck.

_cryptagion,

No, game mode is a specific mode made for the Steam Deck and other portables. I believe people have also gotten it to work on the ROG Ally. It replaces the desktop entirely while active, and only Steam games, and games that are added as a shortcut to Steam can be launched. It is not something that is launched from Steam like Big Picture mode, and while it is active, there is no desktop, and no other way to interact with the Deck. Using the desktop normally requires exiting game mode entirely.
