Without any flashy marketing campaigns or social media fanfare, Valve rolled out a routine Steam Client update containing a very simple line in the patch notes: “Improved Steam Client startup performance.”

    Boasting about some improvement being vibe coded is such a confusing disconnect for me. There are so many layers of transparent shit that I cannot see through it.

    People dislike epic game launcher for so many reasons. The launch time is something I’ve never considered important.

    The “look how much better we are than X” makes you seem like douchebag. They, don’t seem to grasp it, or they will wouldn’t boast, and that makes it even worse. Then they admit that it was vibe coded. Why? I become immediately suspicious of the change being done carelessly, isn’t properly QA tested, and indicative of a shitty state to begin with. I wasn’t going to install the epic launcher on Linux, but now I’m even less likely to do so.

      It might launch in negative time for all I care, but when I scroll down and it takes 30 seconds to load a fucking 128px PNG of the box art… Yeah sorry still useless.
