  • No, that's called basic. We're not talking about a batmobile shaped RGB "gamer" mouse. We're talking about the default requirement for a functional system.

  • I'm not normalising wasted resources, but 8 GB of RAM was a basic minimum standard to do anything on a computer 10 years ago... Perhaps even more.

    Unless you're running a very, and I mean a VERY, cut-down operation system for none-intensive tasks, there is no way 4 GB of RAM is useful for anything.

    Are you still on a dual core CPU too?

  • Can't play Stellaris through Heroic because of the launcher being broken.

    Bypassing the launcher requires some convoluted setup, and it also removes the ease of modding.

    Manually installing Stellaris through Lutris works, but Lutris isn't well maintained, and even though it's connected to GOG, doesn't update Stellaris. Says it can't find updates despite there clearly being one.

    Also, you can 100% customise Steam. There are various user created skins out there you can just plop onto Steam.

  • I've been there already. Surviving without all that for years. You can thank 2008 for that.

  • There are negative events in the world that have significant impact on people's lives, with worsening effects the longer it is ignored.

    The pill you're proposing would probably get massively endorsed by the wrong people, as it would make whole populations into happy complacent little workers for those at the top.

  • It would be something... Violent. Can't change the system to be better by using the system. Gotta destroy it first, and there will be... so much resistance against that.

    But to make life better for the majority, action will have to be covert. None of that terrorist shit with shock, awe, destruction of public spaces, and the loss of civilian life. No names, no titles, no spotlight, no ego.

    Making life better for the majority will also be a lifetime career, and the resulting world that will hopefully be built from such action would not be for me to live in, but future generations.

    I say all this as some random guy on the Internet, but... One can dream. For now I'll settle with my job as an active trade unionist.

  • Study finds 72% of Developers View Steam as Monopoly [from the overall pool, 75% of respondents were senior managers]

  • But Steam isn't a walled garden, or a monopoly.

    Valve has done nothing that monopolistic corporations have done (i.e. Disney or Nintendo). They have kept themselves relatively small, private, and focused on providing one service really well.

    Every other competition has only ever tried approaching what Valve does with Steam with shortcuts and quick money grabs.

    It's all fine and dandy to cry and complain about monopolies, but nobody even really tried. Epic's store was, and still is, a laughing stock. That is what Valve is up against.

  • You put value in a like-dislike ratio and you think you can educate me?

    You haven't proven me wrong, you're just another brainlet preaching to a choir of people who seem to be adamant at painting Valve as having a monopoly.

    I mean, everyone has their preferred little dillusions, I guess, but an argument of popularity fallacy doesn't make you right.

  • Very smart. You learned how to repeat words written in books. You're probably very proud of yourself.

    You still don't know what a monopoly is, however, considering this is a discussion about Valve and Steam.

    But keep trying.

  • It's a free market, right? Customers choosing what they prefer and all that? And then eventually the one that provides the best price-for-service ratio comes out on top? Something like that, right?

    If you want to stop Steam from being so ubiquitous with PC gaming, then create some proper competition. The only one that comes close in my eyes is GOG.

    Incredibly underrated power. It's probably the most OP and versatile power someone can have.

  • Denmark has FH, which stands for "fagbevægelse hovedorganisation", which is essentially a kind of alliance of unions. The only one not part of this alliance is Krifa and their Faglig Hus (Krifa = kristelig fag).
