Yeah, the fact that so many things just automatically require 16gb of RAM is wild to me. Why does a web browser need 16gb of RAM??? Why did a calculator leak 32gb of RAM???

Yeah, at least one of my RAM sticks seems to be going out… Very not happy about it, but not much I can do about it rn

Yeah, MMOs are by far the most expensive type of game to develop, generally speaking, especially if you’re trying to do anything that resembles modern. It’s pretty cheap to do something like RPGMO, but something like the big names? You’re looking at amounts of money that most people will never see

I was actually kinda excited about this one from what I’d seen. Bummer.

I’ve only really run into it on f2p MMOs, and then Black Desert Online. But also I don’t really play competitive FPS games

Might be a marketing thing, since the big ones are all using some variant of Linux as an option on their handhelds now. I also only remember one using Windows as a positive part of their marketing, and haven’t seen anything from them in a good while

Yeah, I couldn’t get it to either. For collections there’s a way to copy the nxm links and paste them into downloads, for individual mods I just download them from the website to either. It’s one of those “It works, just not with all of the features it would have natively” kinda things for me, which I’m fine with for how I use it. I only really use it for skyrim collections xD

Weird, when I did it on steamdeck all I did was install it under the same prefix as skyrim and it worked? Wonder if there’s something in the background that Bazzite isn’t to make it work

Yeah. And while Vortex does work on deck/Linux, it’s a royal pain to do, and in my experience you need to install multiple instances of it. I’d love to see them have native support, and make it so I don’t need a different installation in every single wine prefix

I mean, I’m personally not spending a cent there until the CEO stops assuming everyone on Linux is cheating at their games, but y’know. Maybe if they slander an entire demographic of computers enough they’ll bump their numbers

Almost certainly. I’d say Project Entropia is also screwed, but that is literally a casino of a game, so as long as there are players, they’ll be making money. Second Life is more worrying, though. Both games let you “cash out” your funny money to real money, but Entropia literally functions as a casino, where SL is more like a full economy

Oh, this is gonna have implications

Since they determined that in-game assets are real property of the player, basically every MMO is gonna need to change their ToS if they operate in the UK, because all of them that I’ve seen (and I’ve seen a lot) have something in there that “All assets are the property of $gameCompany” to stop these kinds of shenanigans. But if all it takes is being able to tie the game dollar to real dollars in a capacity officially supported by the devs… Yeah that’s gonna be some lawsuits
