In Stellaris there is a way to fix it. Make pi 3, no Entropy, etc.

That story ends with “and the poor parents were crying”

Everything gets eroded by wind without plate tectonics creating new mountains.

Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

Over time, it will destroy large parts of the park.

Look I get it. The planet is dying, income inequality, it seems everything is unfair and going to shit. People yearn at an opportunity to help make things better. But yelling for simple solutions is the opposite of helpful. Because there are no simple solutions.

Saying to “just open source it” does not make sense.

What do you do about:

• proprietary codecs
• proprietary software that just does not exist as open source
• the fact you need a copy of the game engine to actually build the game from sources
• assets that have been bought on asset stores. Do the people who make those for a living not have a right to continue to make a living?

Making single player games without always online DRM: yes totally doable

Running game servers of online games forever: not really doable, as soon as all the libraries etc. they depend on are unsupported they will shut down one way or another. You need staff basically forever. Not even mentioning the maintenance headache that every legacy system always turns into.

Letting people run their own dedicated servers: sometimes doable, depends on the game though. Some games do not have “a server” but a whole infrastructure of stuff, look at foxhole. Some “servers” are a house of cards barely held together by duct tape.

This initiative all comes down to the definition of “reasonable”. What is reasonable, actually? Running an infrastructure at a loss until bankruptcy? Or just keeping it online until it starts making a loss.

There is a reason it’s included though. Stuff like fmod, bink video etc. does complicated things that you otherwise need to implement yourself.

Seeing forced AI in any product makes me stop using it immediately.

Peoples opinions are very much shaped by social pressure.

Good info, but I guess I just upgrade my way to 2604

I will always have to check protondb.

24.04 doesn’t have 6.14: https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_6.14#NT_synchronization_primitive_driver_for_faster_games

And is there any kind of system or just run of the mill psychosis?

OK wtf is a sovcit?

Cool I will try it thanks.

Very large parts of the Internet run on Linux. Its already a very juicy target.

A brain teaser about visiting all islands connected by bridges without crossing the same bridge twice is now the basis of all internet routing. (Graph theory)

Werner Herzog boiled 11000 living rats in ink for Nosferatu.

Me: I need an AC unit

Mitsubishi: sure!

Me: I would also like an orbital launch system, a forklift, a cruise ship, a main battle tank, an air superiority fighter and a nuclear power plant

Mitsubishi: ur not gonna believe this…

I bet they are saving the NHS multiple times that amount due to having an enforced consistent sleep rhythm and going for walks twice a day.
