That’s literally was Israel says about Gaza

That just fucks over gamers, not the Russian government.

I don’t see how it advances any objective like Ukraine or identity politics issue by Valve not being in Russia. On the contrary, the more people buy from valve puts currency strain on Russia and exports western culture to them.

If you’re willing to spend some money on cheating there’s no way to prevent people from just aimbotting based on video output and feeding it as USB mouse commands. These anti-cheat systems are just shit solutions compared to server-side culling, superhuman reflex detection and report/review systems with premium servers and bans. Just give people in-game currency for correctly agreeing with the consensus and some people will go nuts on it for less than $1 per hour of in-game items.

Anti-cheat systems basically fuck with the kernel so if a game has it there’s a case for not playing it.

I played Game Dev Tycoon (2013) from the same people and it was really good, I’m definitely going to try this one out

Thats not true. Privately owned firms tend to be really bad because they don’t have a feduciary duty to long term value. They suck everything dry. Private equity is the reason why daycare costs so much yet the daycare workers make minimum wage.

I think we’re probably not on the same wavelength. Privately owned doesn’t mean bad, a one person owner operated plumbing business is not bad.

Publicly traded corporations are also really bad because the goal is increase in share price at the cost of long term success often. If you can show profit or revenue growth at the cost of losing customers by cutting costs that’s positive over there.

Single person ownership of a company where the person cares about the company providing good value instead of making money is very different from maximising profit or resale value.

So the dissonance I think mostly stems from the example of daycare that you made and your conclusion that private ownership is worse than publicly traded companies. If the daycare was publicly traded it would probably look the same since none of the owners really care about the staff. On the contrary an owner operated business often do care about staff and their development at the cost of their fiduciary duty.

Private equity would gut a business for cash. Publicly traded would syphon away all customer value to increase the stock price. Owner operated business normally does neither since it’s their baby.

… and Gabe N owns more than 50% so it’s not really the same as owned by Blackrock. It’s still a founder owned and operated company.

They’re a functional monopoly in my case since I’m on Linux. GOG is the main competitor for my money.

Private equity is commonly referring to “owned by a private equity fund” like Blackrock. It often involves extracting unhealthy amount of short term profit to make the numbers look better then sell the business so they can record a profit.

The increase in framerate varies from game to game. Hogwarts Legacy and Kingdom Come Deliverance run better on Linux.

I think it’s an improvement though. You never part with your money unless you know exactly what you’ll get.

It’s basically individualised offers in the form of boxes.

Do you want to post the output of running fallout 4 through steam from the terminal?

In my experience it’s usually some graphics issue. I see your GPU is 2014 model so maybe you need to use the legacy nvidia driver?

My strategy would be trying to find an error somewhere in some diagnostics or by running a game and then take it from there.

That’s a porn name for a company.

I go on protondb and see if people regularly have problems. If not I check to see if someone has the same GPU. Then I try whatever trick they have there. Then I try switching to an X11 session instead of wayland.

If there’s a launcher like rockstar I search for that specifically.

Skyblivion better
