All this MGS talk is making me want to revisit MGS4 through RPCS3 as part of my franchise playthrough. Haven't played the game since the PS3 days, it'll be the first one in the series I'll have actual nostalgia for. Exciting :smile:

Alright I'll go do the Radiance bosses in HK, as promised. Damn I thought I could shield myself with Silksong never getting a release date, but here we are. :tongue:

I don't see cryptocurrencies as the solution. They're too unstable, for one thing. If they ever become big enough to be a serious concern, the governments will find a way to take control of them.

The value fluctuation is a problem. But I don't believe the governments will manage to find a way to take control of some of the actually useful cryptocurrencies.

They're actually a pretty valid alternative to the shitstorm that is payment processors when it comes to control and sovereignty.

In the long run a single build is easier for developers to test and support, and Proton can keep games running on Linux practically forever after developers move on or shut down. A layer to continue supporting games like Proton just makes more and more sense as time goes on.

In addition to this, and I keep seeing the following thrown around, but the concept of "targetting Proton" instead of plain Windows can be a thing apparently. It's a long shot but I can see this becoming a reality, where the single build devs would support would in fact be a "Proton" build, that works on Windows of course, but also Linux, MacOS and even different computers archetictures like how we've been seeing Valve working on ARM translation stuff behind the scenes.

This is all highly ambitious of course, but unless all the users who have been bringing it up are talking out of their ass, wouldn't it be a desired goal ?

I've grown tired of being under the mercy of these networks. I'd like to actually own my money instead of being either allowed or not allowed to use it in xyz. Luckily there are alternatives, just hope they grow one day to become more common among people :smile: .

Considering Guerrilla outsourced a lot of their work on Horizon, including the design for the iconic Thunderjaw monster to Chinese sweatshops, I say this is fair :whistle:.

Wow... i did not know all this existed on steam, living in my TF2-Pyroesque vision of Germanylands Great Filter.

Like most people worldwide, you wouldn't have been able to view these games anyways, until you manually allow them in the 'show Adult games' filter on Steam. I didn't know they were that bad either and I'm not in Europe.

Time for some European payment provider alternatives to those close-minded murricans.

The solution isn't moving the goalposts and choosing to be ruled by a different region in place of another (see user Iod's comment above about similar game censorship in Germany). This only delays the problem.

The proper solution, no matter how improbable, is for Valve to take a page of their own book of embracing open source solutions, that - by design - cannot be under the influence of any asshat authority, and apply that in their payment methods.

And I don't think stablecoins is the answer here either, those can be controlled and regulated too as far as I'm aware (do correct me if I'm wrong here). I don't want to sound like those cryptobros plugging some shitcoins so I'm choosing to end this here.

The idea that "payment processors" get to tell people what is okay and not okay to spend their "own" money on.... I'm just glad I researched about future alternatives for when SHTF and now I feel prepared for whenever this evolves further (namely CBDCs) :unsure:.

Only the Windows version though. Linux build is clean.

Didn't even realise there's a Native build ! That's awesome.

A quick look over at ProtonDB, and it looks like everyone is using Proton sadly, and the few who use Native report mixed impressions.
