The bundle names are so beautiful on their own..

... well, if you understand the words, I guess. :)

Quoting: slaapliedjeOne more launcher, one more account they want you to make... why? So they can have an email address? So they can have names? What is the purpose? So they can sell you more shit? It is like going to a store to purchase something then being annoyed by people standing inside trying to sell you other things from a different store.

I actually had this once. The collectors in a drug store had to ask everybody if they want to buy a chocolate bar, too.
(Guess which drug store franchise didn't exist many more years.)

Quoting: BmsiHi can I use this game with VR mod I end this game in VR mod and I love to have 3d monster in my game

Yes, users on moddb have confirmed it works great with GZDoom VR, and it also works in QuestZDoom for Oculus/Meta Quest 2.

I would have been very surprised if VR Doom would not exist. :D

Quoting: elmapulif an program only work on an older version of windows, and an important government file only open on this program, and the company who made the program already gone bankrupt, how is the government suppose to open the file once this version of windows is no longer supported?

Grooming the data from time to time, or use a disconnected PC with an outdated OS - like everybody else.

Quoting: elmapulof course i understand that no company should be forced to support an old api/abi forever, but an government can stabilish an reasonable minimum time as an law, especially when the company who made the software has an monopoly (as microsoft have) have and the government got traped into using it back in the days governments knew nothing about computers to build their it infrastrcuture.
imagine if an government couldnt control their own drones in an war because microsoft said so? or if they had to use an unsuported operating system?
an company margin for profit can really be prioritized over peoples lifes?

we are paying companies for whatever they want to charge with public money, and they got to decide for how long they plan to support one of their system after lock us inside?

I'm with you that minimum support times should be enforced. (EU is at this topic, by the way.) But I'd say something like 10 years for PC stuff is good enough. And I don't think governments should use their power just for their own good/self-inflicted problems. They can care for their data and software just like everybody else. And, you won't be surprised here, I'd recommend that they use FLOSS software more.

Quoting: elmapulthey cant legaly completely drop support for something used by millions

Of course they can. What global law are you referring to that obligates a company to support well announced end-of-life products??

do you forgot that governments use windows?
they can make laws like that if they feel like they are being harmed by an company pratice.

Something doesn't become illegal because they could make a law, but only when they actually did.

And, my opinion: Microsoft is not doing the job that bad. Of course, Debian is doing it better, but I wouldn't expect that much from a profit oriented company.

Did you ever write about Steam Input? I came across this video [External Link] lately, by pure chance, and was very surprised what it can do.

Quoting: dziadulewiczHow can this be? Why is it this way all the way nowadays? The game runs better on the get go via assets and tech made for Windows rather than what is meant for Linux?

Incompetence. For me personally, making a game that runs well on Windows via WSLg would be easier than providing a native Windows build too. I learned how to deal with Windows anyway, while they obviously don't care enough.

what a load of bs.

I think you totally misunderstood dos' message. They wanted to say that personally, as a developer, they would find something else easier, but that they still could cope with the stuff not so easy to them. It's an example - not a recommendation to games developers to use WSL or the like.

Quoting: EikeI get tips for my favorite genre (point and click) from a Facebook group. Or looking at known publishers/developers.

That seems to be the only way for me also. Sign up for newsletter but if the company is massive then you get junk instead of what you want.

Retail gaming has been horrendous for me in the last 10 years in trying to just buy exactly what I want.

I think what really got better (though I seldomly actually make use of it) is that you can take a look on YouTube how the game really looks and "feels". No more pig in a poke.

Quoting: Arcadius-8606This is nice but as a older person trying to game I feel really pushed out. I'm trying to find just fighting games and no matter the storefront I get everything in the sink that even has a fist or kick in the game.

I end just tapping out and not playing at thing at all or playing stuff I already own.

Quoting: randomgamerguy1997Time and time again people in the community say "ThAt A LiNuX BuIlD Is A ClIcK Of A BuTtON" but it's always proven to not be that simple time and time again.

When have the community ever said that? I know that a lot of Windows developers using Unity tends to have that idea when they launch their Kickstarter, but the Linux community(?)

I read that all the time in the Steam forums, back in the "No Tux, no bucks!" times. "Just press that fu**ing button!!!1!one!"
