What if most of the people that want to pay a GOG membership are Linux gamers that would be willing to pay for official Linux support?

Weird to recommend someone develop software for Linux then, on the basis that “it should Just Work ™️ in Windows because Windows has the Linux Windows Thing”

I don’t think anyone is saying that the story of Hades isn’t portrayed well with the rougelike style, but it’s totally ok to say “I don’t have time to play a game that’s designed such that you fail dozens of times before you win”

God dammit, the ads finally found their way to Lemmy

They were a relatively cheap, healthy, reliable source of protein. Also, they’re delicious.

Nah what you’re doing is textbook gaslighting. Not to mention, putting words in my mouth. You wanna have a level headed conversation, I’m down, but if you’re gonna continue to let emotion take over, I’m out.

Your weird attempts at gaslighting aren’t working dude

K live in your fantasy bubble and revise history all you want, not even a decade ago Teslas were considered very good cars, and the only viable electric option for some. Not hard to figure out why people bought them then, just like it’s not hard to figure out why people are selling them now.

Many bought the thing 5+ years ago when Tesla was basically the only electric with a real charging network…

Until relatively recently, if you were an American who wanted to buy an electric car and wanted to guarantee you wouldn’t be stranded somewhere with a dead battery, Tesla was literally the only option.

They used to encourage people to use a serial cable to program them. I remember when I got my Roomba nearly ten years ago, it came with a little pamphlet advertising their educational platform robot, which was basically a Roomba without the vacuum cleaning stuff. I think they intended it to be sort of the next step up from LEGO Mindstorm or something. But at the bottom of that pamphlet, there was a paragraph that basically said “hey you can get this educational robot, buuuut, the one you just bought has the exact same connections, firmware, and hardware 👀👀👀”

Eh, idk. I’m sure there’s smart people doing cool things at Starlink, but the actual product itself is basically a brute force approach to Internet access with a ton of downsides

Alright bud, it’s obvious you’re just interested in being a contrarian and not actual productive conversation, so see ya 👉

First of all, follow the thread brother, I’m not the same person you originally replied to.

Second of all, this article is just as much about capitalism as it is about “tech”. If you actually read the article and just thought “this is just about tech” and not “this is about tech and how it has leaked unnecessarily into nearly every transaction”, then IDK what to tell you

How was that your takeaway from this thread

The angry drunk is actually the police man

If they have the ability to accurately detect/enforce any of that, I’d be way more impressed with their fingerprinting techniques than any of the hardware they’re selling

Man, you’ve really eaten all the propaganda huh? Leave some for the rest of us man

I was about to say “but you can’t emulate the HD remakes with a PS2 emulator, those only released for the PS4”, but then I remembered they were all released for PC lol. So yeah good shout, if you wanna play the Kingdom Hearts games on the deck, just buy the HD remakes on Steam

Ah, well that makes sense I suppose. Thanks for laying that all out so clearly and setting me straight. For anyone who’s curious, Delta and American Airlines are the ones who served free meals and beverages on the long flights I’ve been on

No, I’m saying all of my international flights that take off from the States have had complimentary meals and drinks
