Quoting: GuestIt's not their first. They released the i740 in 1998 which was standalone - and dreadful.

Oh yeah, you're absolutely right. Twenty years though...

Quoting: GuestHonestly Intel's track record in the discrete GPU game is not a good one.

Isn't the point of this announcement that they're actually releasing their first proper discrete chip? Surely there's no track record to speak of. Not that I expect their first offering to truly compete with the best of AMD or Nvidia. Competition even at the lower end of the spectrum can only be a good thing.

I love the first screenie. Such a fun style. Let's hope this turns out well.

Quoting: devnullFor Valve to copy their interface is ... insane.

I share your distrust of Discord and most other proprietary chat providers, but their interface design is clearly not the reason. It's not even that unique.

Quoting: tuubiI don't think fraud attempts, hate mongering and racism need a legitimate platform, and neither does extremism of any sort.

Your extremism is somebody elses mainstream. And "not giving extremism a platform" is thus nothing else but an extremist position in itself.

Extremism isn't the same as having an unpopular opinion and it should never be allowed to be mainstream. You can be a staunch supporter of anarchist ideology for example. That's perfectly fine, regardless of how you feel about their opinions, and they should be allow to argue their stance. Or you can be an extremist advocating violent protests or let's say terror attacks on state infrastructure. The latter does not deserve a platform nor should it be tolerated.

I might be misunderstanding here, but "Advocating terror attacks" would very likely end up in the "illegal" part of the blog post.

True. Just trying to give an example of extremism. And saying that we definitely should not tolerate everything. I guess this is getting off topic though.

Quoting: Stupendous ManBig publishers buying small studios is never a good thing for the customer. Do we really want a few large publishers only and not small independent studios with creative freedom?

Yet this is the way indies usually grow into AAA studios. I'm not a fan of big companies in general, but this isn't as simple as you might think. It's entirely up to the publisher if they give developers free rein or play it safe. Usually things go to shit when the bureaucracy grows big enough that the ones making decisions have no interest in the end product beyond how much money it brings in.

Quoting: rat2000Also, I use steam since 2007 I think, and I have gathered a lot of game since then, I would love an option to delete a game if I don't want it anymore(not hide it, delete it).

Contact steam support, they can delete games for you.

You don't even have to contact anybody. You can do it in the steam client directly by navigating to Steam Support -> Games, Software etc., then finding the game you want to get rid of and clicking "I want to permanently remove this game from my account". I've done that a couple of times and it works fine.

EDIT: I was slow.

Quoting: BeamboomSpeculative junk. Porn, shovelware, fraud attempts, hate mongering, racism, extremists political and religious agendas, and so forth.

And please note, This is content that I do not say should be BANNED - they just do not belong on the main street.

Well, some of the stuff you just mentioned is deservedly illegal in most of the civilized world, so it really should be banned. I don't think fraud attempts, hate mongering and racism need a legitimate platform, and neither does extremism of any sort. Porn (with consenting adults) and shovelware are less of a problem IMHO.

Saturday June 9th:

2v2 - 6PM UTC (EU)

The 1v1 was fine, but you actually seem to have set this one for 5PM UTC unless I'm mistaken. That's a proper shame as it means I'll have to skip my weekly sauna to play. :(

Any way you could reschedule it, or is it too late?

Woops, I've re-done that one to the correct time :)

Thanks! :)
