Yeah, a friend was in the Aug-Sep bracket and he got his e-mail yesterday. He said he ordered his SD in October. Good times!

Quoting: finaldestValve should implement such a feature to allow at least 4 steam deck users to link their decks to play co-op.

There’s nothing stopping you from sitting in the same room as other deck users and playing online together except not having any deck-owning friends.

I like how they write their team has reviewed the content where it's obvious no human has looked at it at that point.

Quoting: TermyI tend to agree with the criticism about unstable APIs for many cases - but in this case, i really blame Epic for using a function deprecated for almost two decades in a recent piece of software.

Well, the function wasn't marked as deprecated as far as I can tell, it was just removed in a minor update without warning. The Epic engineer probably didn't know about it, they just used a function that was there and had the rug suddenly pulled out from under them.

And since Epic doesn't care about Linux because no users and it was Valve who probably pressured/paid them to support us, this is basically Linux people shooting Linux in the foot... almost as if they didn't want more people using it. Imagine that.

Good job telling people "my way or the highway" and watching in bemused surprise as they choose the highway. And we wonder why we have no users.

As has been mentioned above, this is the dominant position in the mobile space, with Apple recently starting to remove "unmaintained apps" from their app store. They also do this on the desktop, to a lesser degree. If anyone ever wondered why everything is subscription-based there, this is the answer. Software requires constant work, you can't just publish something and expect it to work months, much less years down the line.

I put up with this on my phone because privacy (though I've given up on paying for anything), but not on the desktop. Here, the standard Microsoft has created is the correct one and Linux people should be following them and not the Apple way. Unupdated software should continue working for decades. This is how you build trust and reliability.

RE3 is fully playable without a hitch on the SD, I have no idea why it’s marked unsupported.

Some excellent games there. I thought the final season was a bit of a let down, but Clementine's journey is definitely worth making.

I don't have an Apple Silicon machine, but I do have a 2019 Intel MBP. It's barely useable with Linux and I've given up on it. I guess all the dev attention is on those ARM machines now and the Intel Macs will not get much support from the Linux community. It's a shame, but undeerstandable.

How much VAT is there in France? The US price includes no tax, some 7-8% will be added on purchase. The € price includes the 15-20% of tax.

That's what you get for being stuck in a library all the time.
