  • I should have been clearer, I don't mind the initial configuration, it's the subsequent launches I want to be instant. That's the feature I find most excellent on the Steam Deck: instant resume. You pick up your console because you have 15mn to kill and actually game 15mn.

    This has not been my experience with Steam on desktop however. I don't game everyday, and not all my games were on Steam (when I was still using it semi regularly), and I would invariably wait for Steam to update, followed by the various utilities and the games. And if it was a new machine, having to remember where to disable the damn ad popup ...With a fast Internet and playing often I'm sure it's way less of an issue.Oh and when I had network problems and it would take a long time before going in offline mode every time.

    you can always play without updating if you want to

    Can you? I never saw a straightforward way to do this.I still have a partition running Windows for modded Skyrim, and the cardinal rule is never ever run it from Steam in case there's been an update, which would mess up the modlist.

    My other issue is ideological: I don't think they do anything unethical but I don't like having this private company's always online closed source software running in the background on my computer.

    Clearly people are happy with Steam, and as far as companies go it's an okay one. I won't argue with the AIO buying, installing, and the myriad of features.However installing on Linux really isn't that hard anymore.

    1. Install the GoG (or Epic for the free stuff) game from Heroic Launcher
    2. Play.*

    Heroic is a better experience for installing, but I prefer Lutris, paired with lutris-gamepad-ui when not using keyboard and mouse. I made a little script to launch it when I turn on my controller, and turn off the controller when I quit. I'm in a game in a few seconds, even if I didn't play in a month - when bluetooth doesn't for some reason take 10s to connect

    Even if some tinkering was needed, for a game I play often I would have spend less time waiting compared to using Steam.

  • Since the beginning of app stores and the release of Windows 8, Valve have seen the writing on the wall (see Apple v. Epic later) and realized they needed their own platform. It’s all about Steam OS.

    The interests of Linux users and Valve merely coincide.

    As for me, with a 99% single player games library, the most important thing is no mandatory launcher and no updates. Click, boom, I’m in the game.So using GOG when possible.

    I’m the same, but I try to explain the errors of their ways in the most relaxed manner.Most times it doesn’t make a difference but once in a while someone is receptive and makes a change. and it’s really rewarding.

    It has been theorized once 25% of the population accepts an opinion the rest tends to follow, so I try to be optimistic and take it one step at a time. Lately I’ve had the impression I’m seeing progress.

  • I didn’t notice c/europe was zionists. I just typed israel, I see highly (legitimately) upvoted posts against it.

    I’m sure you can find some unsavory stuff, but I haven’t stumbled upon it once.

    On the other hand I’ve been confronted to authoritarian bootlickers too many times from ml. If you don’t defederate from them too then you’re not being consistent.

  • What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it?

    Jump

  • certainly not an obscure videogame, but Prey  (2017) is amazing, and for some reason it flopped. Also the DLC might be the best I’ve played, it’s a completely new kind of game

    if you check the free epic games sometimes you might have it in your collection

  • What was it like the first time you had to call 911?

    Jump

  • I forgot: I called two more times recently because my phone screen would not turn on, and apparently there's a setting in LineageOS to call the emergencies if you fiddle with the buttons, so as to make the situation even worse, and then there's a voice telling you you're about to talk to someone and you can't hang up! (Edit: I suppose they would call back in any case).Happened twice before I found the setting. So yeah, I wasted their time, again.

  • 15 years ago, young student, I'm walking home around midnight. In the middle of a bridge I see a human shape jumping in the water. I'm not 100% sure. I ask a group of people further up on the bridge if they saw anything, they didn't, but said I still should call 112.

    One or two police cars came, and then one (or 2?) fire truck. Lots of people. Some went with full diving equipment in the water.

    They couldn't find anyone, said it was surprising as the water was very low. The fireman captain gave me the stinkeye.

    Police had left their lightbar on and the car wouldn't start (I think that was the reason) so I helped to push.

    I had to come to the police station and tell what I saw many, many times.Only years later did I realize I was being interrogated, to find out if my story had holes. I was quite naive (dumb works too).

    I wasn't drunk, depressed, or had any kind of weird fantasies that would make me want to invent a story. It's the only time I called the cops in my life.

    All cops were friendly, even though they must've thought I was lying or had too much imagination.

    Did someone jump? Now I think not. But at the time I really thought there was a possibility, and I wouldn't take any chances. I just didn't realize how many people and resources would be involved.

  • I was living with roommates clueless about house maintenance stuff.So one day I explain we should purge the radiators. Did I forget to say "purge the air"? I dont know. But the bucket I told em to use to catch water spilling one roommate thought was supposed to be used to empty the radiators. I was on the computer and saw him from the corner of my eye go empty his bucket a few times before I caught on.
