Beef, cow or chicken… I don’t care. I’d rather talk vegetables.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualFor starters, have a history:

- Feb 2, 2024: Game was marked as Verified.
- March 9, 2024: EA released a new launcher and the game is now Unsupported.
- March 15, 2024: Game was marked as Verified, launcher now works in Proton Hotfix.
- November 9th, 2024: Game now requires BattlEye Anticheat and the developers don't want to turn it on for Proton. Game is now marked as Unsupported.
This. It also serves as shaming for persons that like to brake compatibility by updating their shitty launcher. :smile:

Champaign? What's that? I only ever heard of Champagne :grin:

Proceeds to chug down the entire bottle anyway. Smashes the empty bottle on the ground.

Quoting: kaiman[...]I rather liked how simple and streamlined it was.
This! I'm not a fan of busywork in modern grindfests, too.

Quoting: NociferI wasn't aware of that Miyazaki comment, but it's really vague at best, and the fact is, Bloodborne was released in 2025
Sony have time travel?! Damn, I think we're in trouble. :tongue:
Today is March 7 2035. Look at your calendar, dude! LOL :D
The newly released Plasma 16 has a nicely animated holographic one.

Quoting: doragasuUSA: you can ban the distribution of an emulator because it is used to play unauthorized game copies, but well, you cannot ban guns distribution even when they are unfortunately used from time to time to kill innocent people. God bless America :angry:
Let me explain: the distribution of an emulator directly enables, facilitates and promotes piracy (at least per nintendo) which leads to the decrease in sales. This means a company is missing out on money it would have made otherwise, we can't have that.

TRIGGER WARNING: Dark sarkasm ahead. Do not read further if you are sensitive. You have been warned.

Spoiler, click me
In regards to children being killed in school shootings: new human beings are born every day. The human population naturally grows back - try this with money.

I apologize for this blackest of black humor. I will voluntarily quarantine myself now. Be safe and hug your loved ones.

Quoting: EhvisAnd maybe it's just me, but seeing upscaling mentioned as a feature is a big negative in my eyes.
That sentiment might have merit, but it could also be true that the marketing division felt like those are the current buzzwords for PC gaming. I’m just speculating, though.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualHalo: MCC (supposedly has EAC support, I've never gotten it to work on Arch or Fedora)
I managed to play co-op with a friend who is on Windows. You need to be sent 2 DLLs from someone's Windows installation (preferably someone you trust, of course.)

The game is looking for these DLLs to establish a co-op session, but in the game's prefix these are only softlinked.

Quoting: Xpanderedit: it was more aimed at the comments like

"Yeah, they intentionally removed the file"
In that case I agree. This reeks more of incompetency than intention.

In this context: If at work my incompetence would shine above all else, the last thing my boss would do is to hang a badge on me that validates my work ethic. No matter if the badge has a green check mark on it or not.
