Vanguard was announced and was supposed to be added to League imminently a while ago. I stopped playing months ago as a result. I can hardly imagine that I am the only one, so the number seems cherry picked for convenience.
I’d like to know what the average daily player count on Linux was prior to 2024, I suspect it’s higher than 800.
That said, I get the trade-off. I won’t support that trade-off though because I will never agree with an anticheat implemented like Vanguard is.
The number would be higher too, I doubt I was the only one who stopped playing months ago when Vanguard was supposedly going to be implemented imminently.
It sounds about as out of touch as their neurons.
Sucks that the idiots forcing these stupid ideas get buckets of money though.
I missed that part in the article, I should have just searched for the word flood, woops
So if the tip is sticking out for airflow, how does it handle a flash flood?
Spacewar is the app ID for testing Steamworks integration without having an app ID yet.
Why is a Canadian actor and citizen in one of the photos for a US countdown…?
(Yes I’m referring to Keanu.)
Google still controls the source, and so they have influence over the rest.
It’s like Ungoogled Chromium. Sure, it’s open source. Sure, if might have Google crap removed. Google still calls the shots on the direction of the browser.
Same still meaningfully applies to Chromium-based browsers.
Unless it’s a Java Minecraft server which I believe exclusively uses TCP still.
As much as I would like to believe that, these politicians have more than demonstrated their intentions and modus operandi. They need to be voted out and replaced with someone who will actually try to do the right thing even if it’s not such an easy talking point come reelection time.
Yes.
A bunch of states including NC are just blocking porn to protect the children but it’s literally the laziest solution with some of the smallest impact.
Twitch, Discord, and Roblox are far more accessible and arguably more dangerous in terms of short term consequences than porn because they are primarily social interaction platforms.
I’ve never seen Rotten or Liveleaks (at first I thought you meant Rotten Tomatoes that’s how unaware I am), but they could probably use similar regulation.
It’s not even that I think porn regulation is inherently bad, but the implementation is garbage and the claim to protect the children is extremely weak.
Social content sites are dangerous because of the opportunity for predators to easily encounter minors (especially age restriction breaking ones under 13), and violent content sites are, well, violent? They should be a higher priority but they evidently aren’t.
I mean I honestly think if they really wanted to “protect the children” they’d actually make COPPA enforcement a lot more strict (and also add in under 18 limitations), though I suspect that would be significantly harder.
There are a lot of places where you can get exposure to “bad” stuff as a child that are arguably more dangerous long term.
Well in this case the companies that should be regulated are the Internet companies in SK. 😂 Good counterpoint (not /s)
Where is the linked article? The only link I’m seeing in the post is to the homepage. Not sure if my mobile client is not showing me something.
There’s only one company I’ve found that makes headphone shapes that don’t hurt my ears and they stopped making wired variants years ago. Last time I got an actually authentic pair was ~2017.
The void they left behind got flooded by knockoff junk that isn’t worth buying (bought 2 pairs in 2018 trying to find a replacement, they were tinny garbage).
If I could find a wired version that sounded good for under $50 I’d get them immediately so I can stop dealing with Bluetooth connection issues when I’m on my computer.
I don’t have a headphone jack.
Even if I had one, I haven’t been able to buy wired headphones that aren’t crap quality that don’t hurt my ears. Last time I bought wired headphones (more accurately earbuds) they were tinny knock off garbage being sold on Amazon as a legitimate product, and that was years ago.
If it works it’s likely not supported officially by any carrier (this probably also applies to Canada and possibly Mexico), but it’s at least not for sale in the US. Not sure if it’s sold to all of Europe or just the EU/EEZ however.
Can the Portal really be called decent quality if it’s on a short tether and is beat for quality by nerds on the internet who made Chiaki?
To me it felt like the Portal was a limited-usage first-party cash grab, and as a Wii U owner that’s saying something (the extra screen was honestly not worth the space it took up, the money and materials would have been better spent elsewhere).
Most of my experiences with my first-party PlayStation related hardware and software has been mediocre at best, and that includes the operating system on something like the PS4.
Perhaps I am just jaded after my collective Sony experienced, but I think that Sony could have created an actually decent product, but instead they saw a nice handheld gaming device and wanted to try to muscle their way into the market without putting in the effort or money to make it even as good as the Wii U controller.
There’s a difference between calling Gabe Newell pro-consumer (not what I said), and saying he and his company make pro-consumer choices (moreso recently than in the past).
I can’t really come up with anything Epic has done that is actually pro-consumer, and no “trying to create a competitor to Steam” isn’t pro-consumer when the way they did it was very anti-consumer (just look at all the Kickstarters they swept up and made exclusives even after they had publicly promised Steam keys — it’s not like Epic couldn’t have added clauses to exempt Kickstarter backers from the exclusivity restrictions) or very intentionally locking people to one platform by force. Their support of anything non-Windows for anything besides Unreal is terrible.
I mean I’m not really picking to not play anymore because I don’t want to. They said they were going to turn it on like two months ago and I believed them. I wasn’t about to risk my account on the odd chance my crapple device is good enough to play it.
