Yes and no.

You now can install SteamOS on other handhelds, and Valve has started issuing fixes for those other devices.

That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ready for use. Look up your device and see what’s working.

And it’s not like you lose out on anything by sticking with Bazzite.

To an extent. Maximum calm would just be unconsciousness, I don’t think you’d be doing a lot of thinking at that point.

Like for real.

Were the people who actually do nothing really the ones to get axe for once?

Shit.

Is this how I find out I’m old?

I always found it impossible to imagine ever owning anything as ornate as the furnishings my grandaprents have.

Now I see the appeal.

You are being stopped from stopping people playing their games.

That’s a double negative bruh, as in, it reduces overrall limitations in the world for what people are allowed to do.

Environmental DNA, apparently.

I like your Heather Mason. You’ve found a perfect level of detail to make these work.

Like they’re just barely “too detailed”, making them just a little unsettling, the way horror game art should be.

Have you done other characters?

You say “your style”, so my first thought is to wonder what else you’ve done since must’ve done enough to land on a style.

Edit: ah, found your other posts! Feel free to cross-post to gameart, we want to see and celebrate all the art that games both contain and inspire.

Allowing corporations to greenwash themselves is already too much. Let’s not allow countries to do it.

He’s gone full FOSS.

He switched to linux a while ago, and went down the rabbit hole from there. His most recent video is about self hosting Nextcloud and Vaultwarden in order to ditch google services.

He’s legitimately transitioned into a fosstuber.

Yesterday we saw the biggest increase in signatures in a single day, even compared to the start of the initiative.

This isn’t change.org or a twitter poll.

It’s an official EU citizens initiative, hosted on the EU web portal. The one maintained by the EU for the very purpose of digitally facilitating any and all citizens initiatives.

No, I’m not.

Ok

I’m saying this is a waste of time.

I… What? Is that not a mutual exclusivity argument? For you to have a point, this time and effort would need to be better spent elsewhere. I not only disagree with that, but I have the time and energy to do the other things you are claiming will make a difference.

Oh shit forreal?

Does that mean I can pay for shit online with made-up credit cards?

Citizens iniatives may be a form of petition, but the difference is they come with actual legal requirements.

This isn’t some change.org bs, a list of names totaling some arbitrary number. That’s why it has a hard deadline. And requirements for how signatures have to come from more than one country.

This is a pre-existing system for the people of the EU to force it to tackle an issue. Most EU countries have equivalent systems locally, as well. This isn’t new or unusual for us.

Legal precedent is how the US works. Where lawsuits catalyzing the setting of new standards for what is legal, is the most common way the law changes. If you thought that’s how EU legislation got done, then you have no fucking idea what you’re talking about. Almost everything the EU does, is based on proposals. Not legal cases.

Those can happen in the EU, too, but we have additional ways to propose law as citizens, and legal cases are more common on the national level, rather than the continental level.

If you can gather proof (signatures) of concern on a given issue, you can force a proposal through the door that normally has to come from elected representatives.

Right. Because caring about A means you can’t care about B. If you support legislation, you must be boycoting nothing, because no-one in the history of existence has ever done both.

You’re claiming mutual exclusivity where none exists.

You sound more like you’re scared of the implications of this passing, because you’d have us voting with out wallets rather than… actually voting. Nevermind that even games not worth buying should still also be preserved.

Pre-orders, micro-transactions and battle-passes are still a thing, no matter how much we’ve shouted about “big company bad”. This type of crap isn’t something we solve by any one method alone.

And you don’t need to engage with youtube or any other social media, to accept that the phenomenon they enable, occur. To dismiss that reality would be idiotic delusion.

Millions of views is a lot, when all you need to get started, is one of those millions to sign a petition.

I… What?

Botting something like a citizens initiative, where every signature WILL get scrutinized by government would be seriously stupid. Or are you saying commenters like me are bots?

Is it really that hard for you to imagine the possibility… that people care?

Or are just not aware of the chain of youtubers doing a call to arms on this, getting millions of views, completely explaining the signature spike?

Unless they were looking, they wont have seen it. And as far as I know, just the cursor being active sends the “typing” indicator in some apps. When I see it for just a second I just assume someone hovered over the chatbox for a bit.

No-one thinks it’s weird for it to pop up for a second and then go away. Or for it to appear for a good while and still not get you a message. Sometimes I’ll write a first draft of a response right away, then leave it there for hours while I think about it some more, before finalizing it.

It would be smart if chat apps implemented a minimum, where “typing” won’t apper until you’re three words into writing a response or something.

That way it wont go off over nothing. It’s still useful, it lets you/them know whether you’re getting/giving an immediate response, so you/they know whether the conversion is continuing right away, or later.

In case you’re wondering, the graph looks like this. There have currently been 16k new signatures today. The required pace to make it would be 10k a day. Yesterday the count increased by about 30k signatures.

TL;DR Keep spreading this to people you know, and keep signing. It’s working.

I don’t actually think you can call it that.

I’m pretty sure they’ve spent every cent, considering how much they have in fact produced.

The part that boggles me to this day, is that they spend the money on making a litany of insanely high quality assets and features, with seemingly no plan for how they’ll fit together.

And then they proceed to spend even more money, and time, on trying to fit it all together into something that functions like a complete system.

And that’s before you discuss their obsession with “realism”. What there is to play, is marred with balancing issues. Better ships are just… Better. Because they insist on weapons and ships functioning “logically” within the game universe, rather than in whatever way is the most fun.

Fighters beat bigger ships because equipping the same weapons, a fighter can hit every shot it takes at a slow moving giant. Meanwhile the travel-time of weapons make the fighter completely unkillable for the big ship, because the fighter can land shots from a range where its own speed allows it to dodge literally everything the big ship might send its way.

They’ve been buffing the shields and ammo counts on bigger ships, but all that does is make the fight last longer.

The project is real, but it’s a mismanaged catastrophe.
