No, if anything, we need to boycott games with battle passes. I’m not a fan of lootboxes but I’d take them any day over a battle pass. Don’t pressure me to play specific ways, don’t exploit FOMO to try to get me to grind or spend money. I find that a LOT more predatory than lootboxes, at least in games where they’re optional.
What reversal? It’s still in play. The idea is to use them to force other nations to play fair with us.
Ah, didn’t know that it’s on Steam. Well, there’s that at least. Still not a fan of console exclusivity either way, though.
Both. The future isn’t in consoles, it’s in console-like PCs. Just wait until Valve drops the Fremont, I believe it’ll change absolutely everything.
I hope they’re prepared to have a fraction of the success they would have if they didn’t continue the absurd concept of console exclusivity.
I’m not talking about Lemmy. I’m talking about literally every community I’ve looked. Aside from fanboys being fanboys, the reaction has been nothing but outrage.
In keeping with another post where I ended my arguments here, I won’t debate the point any further but guys: this post is how you conduct a discussion like a mature adult. Learn from it.
Yep! When you open the Steam menu, you can access a full-featured desktop mode. It makes the device virtually limitless outside of the software issues you mentioned. And I agree entirely that it’s ridiculous to see these companies ignoring Linux the way they do.
Hopefully you enjoy your second try of SteamOS!
This is exactly why y’all lost, but that’s the last I’ll be contributing to this thread. As I’ve said, I’m not here for politics.
The problem is that a company can only push their greed so far before they start losing people. Up until now, most of the Nintendo hate came from their anti-emulation crusade. Now, it seems like everyone and their brother is talking about just how absurd the entirety of this launch is.
I’ve been using it (and its predecessor OpenOffice) for the last decade and a half, and I haven’t looked back. It does literally everything I need it to do and then some. One of the best examples of just how good open source software can be.
This is especially true for the aspects of LibreOffice that she’s going to use most.
Yay, one good thing in a heaping pile of crap! Will wonders never cease?
I feel like they’re trolling us at this point. There’s no way they’re this stupid.
Dead broke son of a low middle class family. There’s no privilege here. I’m not here for political debates. Ultimately, I’m here for gaming (particularly of the retro variety), open source software, Linux, that kind of stuff. That being said, I am going to say this much.
Unlike other comments here, I actually do somewhat agree with what you’re saying in the sense that it’s gonna be a little harder because we don’t have those industries here at home. The problem is, if we didn’t take drastic action, we were just gonna continue on the current path. Countless properties, companies, and assets are owned by foreign companies. If we don’t put tariffs on the countries that are already tarriffing us hard, then we would just continue the cycle of economic failure.
Moreover, we’re seeing plenty of foreign countries already caving to these tariffs. Sure, you might see bigger ones like China resisting for a while, but it’s not going to last very long. They don’t have enough economic power to be completely self-sufficient, especially considering the fact that the majority of their wealth has been made on our expense. Without America buying up all the cheap crap that their corporations peddle, their economy will fall apart. What they need to realize is that if they want to be economic partners with our country, they’re going to have to pay their fair share.
Honestly, that whole concept just seems like common sense to me. If another country is going to do business with us, they should have to be conducting fair business and not taking advantage of us at every turn.
At the end of the day, much like a majority of political discourse on the Fediverse, I’m pretty certain it just boils down to a shared hatred of our current president. And honestly, I just find that very sad. It’s one thing to have an objective perspective or to at least try to have an objective perspective. That’s why, of all of these comments, yours is the one I’m replying to. But in general, the main reason I’m not replying to the others (other than the fact that I don’t want to waste time on politics) is that they are already showing their colors and I know for a fact that I could not have a proper adult discussion with them even if I tried.
Gotta love all the triggered rage replies over a simple comment. If I didn’t know I was in the Fediverse before, these replies would remove any doubt.
You don’t lose functionality, you can use SteamOS like a laptop as well. Desktop mode literally puts you in a KDE Plasma desktop environment.
Just noticed insane typos in the original comment, wow. Serves me right for using voice-to-text without proofreading.
Something like sixth or seventh generation American. How dare I desire a setup where other nations exploit us less?!
And this is exactly why Ubisoft is dying. Good riddance.
