Quoting: GustyGhostDiscord effectively stole all of my gaming buddies away from me. We had a good thing going with Mumble too.

I fucking hate Discord.

Literal spyware and all the brainless gamers just gobble it right up.

Yeah, every time somebody sets up a mumble server they're like "can you all join my Discord Server?". I'd be like "It's not 'your' Discord Server because it's hosted on a Computer that's not yours. I know the exact specs of My Mumble Server and the street address of where the server is located because it's in my basement."

The internet culture has devolved outside of self-reliance. You see it in social media, I'm thinking of closing my Facebook and Twitter and going back to forums.

Discord is Spyware trash. The company that Discord used to be called was sued for privacy violations. They only got big by bribing Youtubers.

Installing Discord is like installing Windows 10.

You picked the wrong engine, fool!

Unity=Proprietary garbage
MIT=GPL Compatible
GPL=You can sell non-libre games as long as all of the code is libre.

License conflict. OpenMW isn't dependent on proprietary middleware. So if somebody makes a game using OpenMW with no Morrowind assets, they can sell it. Not the case with unity.

It's mostly privileged white people that live in expensive cities offended on the the behalf of the "pour unfortunate souls" that they worship.

Those people need to grow the fuck up. In the Discord I go to, it's full of gays and they say F****t all the time and I heard my sister call a guy a P***y. The review bombs is the free market speaking.

Quoting: codingHahnDoes anybody know how HAWKEN is running with this wine version. The last one was unplayable:

This was with a GTX 750 Ti.

I wouldn't call dipping down to 5FPS "playable".

Quoting: fagnerlnI miss Open arena...

The project isn't dead, they just have higher standards now and are a lot more ambitious. They're having more quality control instead of throwing everything libre at it.

When I had my 4870 before it died and about a year after it was declared legacy, I noticed I had better performance in Wine with Oblivion on the open source drivers than on Windows.

That alone I thought was fantastic, so yay for more performance!

Quoting: qptain NemoWine increases the viability and appeal of moving to Linux and decreases those for staying on Windows.

What happens in the times that Windows becomes more of a black box and the windows compatibility is out of date?

Back on OS/2, OS/2 and Windows NT 3.51 were equal OSes. You could run DOS apps on NT, you could run DOS apps on NT, you could run Windows Apps on OS/2 and you could run OS/2 Apps on NT. (and of course you could run OS/2 Apps on OS/2 and Windows Apps on NT) But something happened, NT 4.0 and Windows 95 happened and they added newer Win32 APIs that were a black box and you couldn't run Windows Apps on OS/2. People would be like "Well, if I get NT 4.0, I can run Windows and OS/2 Apps, so I don't need OS/2".

Kinda like what's happening with Wine. Wine hasn't been at feature parity with Direct3d for the past 10 years wit the release of DX10, we just haven't noticed it because until the past 4 years, all Windows games had a DX9 mode to fallback on and hey look, Windows 10 has an Ubuntu Subsystem. So if you want to run Linux Software, Windows 10 is your one-stop shop. Does that remind you of the days when you could run both Windows and OS/2 Apps on NT, but you couldn't run newer Windows Apps on OS/2?

Windows having the ability to run new windows apps and new OS/2 Apps, (if any) but OS/2 was only compatible with legacy Windows ruined the viability of OS/2 just like the ability to only run legacy Windows on Linux is ruining the viability of Linux.
