Quoting: Mountain ManWhy do people keep poking the bear? It's not like Nintendo is going to suddenly say, "Fine, you win. We will stop attempting to protect our intellectual property rights."

Yes, why do people keep doing what's right in the face of an idiotic legal system. Silly protesters with their values. We'll never understand. When the deck's stacked against you, just roll over immediately, that's what I say.

Yes, let's just ignore all laws we don't like or find inconvenient. Anarchy always works out the best for everybody.

And what laws are being broken or challenged here?

I guess this depends on the licence the game has got. Does it allow decompiling?

Not unrelated at all...
Does somebody know if and how selling an ESO account would work out? I suddenly have one and I have no use for it...

What have you been playing recently that you think is worth mentioning? Do you have any issues with the Steam Deck Verified rating on something? Let me know in the comments.

I recently played Borderlands 2 on Steam Deck and it crashed constantly with every Proton version I tried, it's supposed to be verified.

Shouldn't Borderlands 2 be running natively?

Quoting: CatKillerIn case anyone else is also considering it for a younger audience, according to the discussion pages there is an option to disable the blood.

That's true, it's still violent though.

I never got far, didn't manage to build a vehicle that can stand some dozens of soldiers in like level 5, but it is a fun game.

Quoting: SimonKJones2. Scrivener, writing software that isn't available on Linux. That's basically the only thing keeping me on the platform.

Did you try it under WINE lately? Somebody reported (I think on this site, something geo-related?) that programs not related to games at all also profit from the WINE improvements.

I'm not even what you may call a "privacy nut".

Although this is a common turn of phrase. It's time we removed the association of conspiracy theorist with a human right to privacy.

I agree.

Quoting: LoftyIn the early day's people were far more trusting of technology and saw it as largely altruistic and a benefit to society (which with opensource it still can be) but invariably the usual shadowy forces do their thing and here we are.

[bolding by me]

... but this does sound... conspirational.

The name feels too near to that of a game I once heard of though...

Quoting: LinasSo I used 3.6 for a bit now, and I find it rather unstable. On multiple occasions I got stuck at black screen, mostly when trying to switch to desktop mode. Then this happened when launching Google Chrome:

Well, at least it's neither a back screen nor a bluescreen... ;)

Quoting: EikeIs that referring to Steam Deck?

Oops! Yes, it is! :dizzy: Sorry for not being clear enough there - I wrote that comment quickly whilst between rounds in Stumble Guys. :grin: Have edited my post to clarify!

... and I was wondering where all those settings might be hidden... :)
