2·1 month agoStill bet someone will create a new set of assets that fit like a glove for preservation purposes. But kinda sucks that it’s not quite as useful as I was naïvely thinking.
(currently scrolling from the throne) Fixed that for you
Honestly? They’re probably going to continue to offer the game on Steam and it will probably continue to trickle in revenue. Most people who are interested in the game have already bought it, so it’s never going to draw in millions again.
The game is currently listed at $15, but goes on sale frequently for $3. I bet many new players would be happy to pay steam $3 for the cloud save and steam’s easy game management, as opposed to compiling from source for every new PC install.
Finally, the gameplay loop between Rogue Legacy and Rogue Legacy 2 are pretty similar. This means the the original is a good extended demo for the sequel which is .$25, but up to 50% off. Frankly, it’s a great marketing move at this stage in the game’s lifetime.
Yes. Since Halloween is the last day of October, the 31st, it’s kinda never on the 13th. So yeah, it’s a shitpost.

Or just agree with what your betters want you to think, obviously. </s>

Yay. This is excellent news and hopefully the beginning of a trend.
No source code is perfect, and the xz utils vulnerability highlights how having everything fall to enthusiasts alone isn’t perfect. Adding some state level actors into the soup will hopefully add some additional validation to many key tool chains. (I wouldn’t trust state actors alone, as some governments clearly don’t have their citizens best interests at heart, but as another set of eyes to a public source, I think is good)
I thought her insights were practical and grounded. Do you disagree about the factual nature of their anecdote about engagement with cameras off? Or that the anecdote isn’t indicative of general audiences? Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by “what actual people are actually like”?
It’s worse then that. They’re actively profiting from that discount rate, meaning they’re ludicrously profiting from everyone who doesn’t spend half their life getting discount codes (the cost of convenience)
Yep yep. Was hoping someone would call me out on that. 😝
Nah. I’ve been advocating for Linux for decades. For decades I’ve been trying to convince people to switch on its own merits, but none of that has been effective.
It took Microsoft sabotaging their product for me to see the needle shift. So I’m done trying to convince people with carrots, it’s time for Microsoft to convince the masses with sticks.
What’s next Microsoft? Replace the windows os loading windows page with a 30s ad? Or have defender uninstall apps if a competitor pays enough? Maybe capture a screenshot of my screen every 3 seconds for AI analysis?
If your goal is to play “Robin Morningwood Adventure - A Gay RPG” from the comfort of your closet without your aunt getting a notification, then you want to mark the game private.

Obviously, this is insufficient if you don’t want the watchful eye of Valve themselves to be upon your gaming session.
I’ll accept that maybe I’m giving Google a pass because of misplaced nostalgia, and while I personally have never used or liked
MetaFacebook, I’ll concede that for a while it provided a service some people valued.It’s still my opinion that Google and Facebook have a large percentage of engineers that personally try to make them a genuinely good service, at least moreso than compared to TikTok and Temu. But I’m willing to concede it’s not as much a practical difference as I would like.
Emphasis on by comparison, as in “molten hot metal is cooler than the surface of the sun, by comparison”.
TikTok and Temu actively have code in them that would be considered a virus in other contexts. They exploit your system to gain more access than they should, violating the point of sandboxed access.
By comparison Meta and Google merely take advantage of user ignorance and apathy by making opting out frustrating - but still technically doable.
Both practices are terrible, but that’s not the same as saying they’re equally bad.
Them too, but lukewarm by comparison.
I could be mistaken, but since it’s a Mozilla base code and F-Droid distribution chain, I’m not sure where Google can stick it’s thumb in the pie.
