It'd be nice if more people would use the Redot engine so it's very easy to port!

Quoting: Viesta2015The GTAV nonsense kind of points once again to the 'Proton is not the full solution, and is really only a bandage, and we really still should be asking for native builds and 1st class citizenship as far as developers are concerned.Quoting: Mountain ManIf you want to play Nintendo games, then buy a Nintendo console. It's as simple as that.with that logic lets stop playing windows games on linux.

Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks

Crazy things from the far-left? Identity politics. Denying biological science, etc. I'm sure I could come up with more, but I need coffee. Denying DNA is basically the equivalent of flat-earth in my mind.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyMostly, they just talk about stuff that you can see confirmed in mainstream media . . . they just talk about (whatever it is) a whole lot and the mainsteam media talk about (whatever it is) only a very little bit, because both are talking about the facts that fit their narrative and analysis. This difference is largely because the far left has no money (which in turn is because they're by definition the enemy of the people who have all the money). The far right has the dough to amplify false messages enough to get traction, but the far left don't have what it takes to get away with that.Uhm, what? The richest companies on the planet are ALL on the Left. Microsoft, Google, Apple.

This is why video games are off my list of things I'll back on kickstarter. The last one I did was Abomination Vaults... which still isn't out...

Ha, to change up the "both sides have very fine people." I will say both sides have very terrible people. Fuuu, I saw earlier a post by some woman who was happy that towns of Republicans were washed away frome Helene... like wtf?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyBut you have to admit, this happens with both the far-right and far-left. They are sucked so far down their particular rabbit holes due to whatever modern algorithm there is, that the only real way to dig yourself out is try and find multiple fact checking sources. Bith sides are full of crap, and usually the truth is somewhere closer to the middle.Quoting: Cato-the-youngerThe problem is that pretty much everything else you wrote, all this stuff you think, is also based on weird propaganda that is not actually true about the real world.Quoting: Purple Library GuyQuoting: Cato-the-youngerWhat is false exactly? That the rhetoric of say BLM if used by whites would get them labelled as "white supremacists"?The rhetoric of BLM is that blacks in the US would really prefer it if cops would stop killing them. It would be weird coming from whites because the cops don't kill them nearly as much.
Really, what are you on?
Lol. If it was just about cops, I would agree. But its not.
And nice job addressing everything else I wrote.
There was a time when argument between the left and the right wing, even the fairly far right wing, was more or less possible, since everyone was working with pretty much the same set of facts, maybe emphasizing different ones, but the main dispute was about interpretation and ethical values, models of how it all fit together. I am not young, I remember when it was like that. Since that time, the hard right has gone and invented themselves a different set of "facts" which are just not true . . . there's still some stuff which is "true" if weirdly cherry-picked, like finding some "feminist" nobody has ever heard of doing a rant and then saying "look, this is how feminists think!!1!", but increasingly it's all just made up from nothing, having no relationship to reality in any way. Just simple lies.
It's clever, in the sense that if you want fundamentally decent people to support horrible ideas, probably the most effective way is to give them fake facts that support the horrible ideas instead of the real facts, which don't. But I don't have time or energy to debunk every goddamn weird social media echo-chamber nonsense you've unfortunately absorbed, and you wouldn't believe me if I did. It's a pity, and I'm sorry.

XR glasses on Linux / Steam Deck get vastly better with the XR Gaming Plugin

I played Helldivers 2 for a few hours on my Steam Deck with the Viture Pro XR. They are awesome. I'll have to update the plugin and play around some more. For me, even with the adjustments, there are a few blurry points in the corners, but some of that might just be because my eyes suck (got lasik 8 years ago).

Nintendo sucks, I've always been more of an Atari / Sega fan anyhow.

Quoting: Mountain ManIf you want to play Nintendo games, then buy a Nintendo console. It's as simple as that.And yet they don't make that much money on the consoles, they make it on the game sales. If I (who also has a Switch), want to play the game I bought legally wish to play a game on my desktop, or on my steam deck, or hell, on my advanced Toaster, who is Nintendo to say where it gets played? Maybe if they made an adult sized Switch, I wouldn't be looking for other places to play the games I bought for mine...

Dome Keeper hits 1 million players - multiplayer and modding support to come

Quoting: CatKillerHa, yeah, I was suggesting that was the norm back then, vs the norm these days being giant budgets with large teams. There definitely are still examples of a single individual making amazing games. I think Kenshi was another game that people say is amazing, and it was done by a single developer.Quoting: slaapliedjeThis just makes me think back to the early days of video games where a single dude in his basement, or the back of some store writes up a game that everyone wants.Not just the early days, though.

Quoting: GamingTFMIt's beyond me how Ubisoft still stays in business.Ha, with the expenditure on these two new games, and the likelihood they're not going to sell all that well... they may not stay in business for much longer. I can't imagine getting the Star Wars license from EA was cheap...

Ha, Dome Keeper hits 1 million... and yet Concord hit like 700 players, and was murdered by Sony two weeks after release. This just makes me think back to the early days of video games where a single dude in his basement, or the back of some store writes up a game that everyone wants. It has never made sense to me that it takes massive funding and the amounts of money that hollywood movies take to make games.
Outside of something insane like Star Citizen, I don't see why the budgets need to be so large for video games... then again, part of the budget these days is to higher voice actors. Using good ol' text I bet saves a whole heap of money.

But nah, I don't think it was great when he was a Samurai either.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyHa, I swore of any Tom Cruise or Steven Spielberg movies after that atrocity they called War of the Worlds. Though I did give in and see Top Gun: Maverick, which was surprisingly good.Quoting: slaapliedjeThe two I've seen is the 'we're making a game taking place in Japan be about a black guy, that historically may or may not have been trained in the ways of the samurai'Ah, I understand . . . because after all, only Tom Cruise is allowed to do that.
