Modder behind the 'Swiss army knife of PC gaming' deletes their 20 year-old Steam account with anti-Valve manifesto: 'By the end of my bitter dealings with Valve… there was zero hope'
  • I don't entirely disagree with all of this persons points, but then they praise EGS and M$ as somehow better? Valve has plenty of issues, but they are definitely a shining beacon of light in contrast to the void that is pretty much any other storefront (GOG being an exception that they also recognize). Like, I agree that their promises of contingency plans regarding Steam DRM seem like a lie at this point, but every other store (except GOG) does this and Valve has done plenty of good for PC gaming otherwise. Steaminput works fine for me and I love that SteamOS is a viable alternative to M$, and all the good stuff is free.

  • Standalone Grimdark recommendations
  • I know it's a trilogy, which is not what you're looking for, but since there is not much here I thought I'd throw it in anyway. Prince of Thorns is great grimdark. Sadly I think a lot of fantasy fiction is trilogies, so might be hard to find. Somehow a different Mark Lawrence book is on that article you linked, but not this one? That's insanity. Lawrence is one of my favorite authors.

  • Steve Bannon accused of making "Nazi salute" during CPAC speech
  • You're right, it was more ambiguous, but only in context. Hard to do a more fervent nazi salute than Musk without being Hitler himself. I have a fear that conservatives are just going to start doing half-assed salutes everywhere and going "Musk isn't a nazi, you'll just call anything a nazi salute"

  • Deep Rock Galactic - The official Abyss Bar mug Kickstarter is live NOW! - Steam News
  • They look cool, but I am kind of disappointed about how expensive they are for plastic mugs. I also have a bit of a pet peeve about established companies using Kickstarter. But I like Ghost Ship so not too much shade.

  • User Clip: Trump admits they rigged the election - C-Span
  • I hate dictator Trump as much as the next guy, but what he's saying here is 'they rigged the election in 2020, but now that means I get to host the Olympics during this term'. He's just keeping up the lie about how he lost to Biden

  • Pricing probably held them back
  • Pricing is definitely GPD's issue, but yes hardware issues as well. I have a Win Max 2, and it was neat at the time, but it costs way more than a Steamdeck and really isn't as powerful. When you play a game on it it runs so hot and the fans are like a jet engine. I pretty much use it as tiny laptop these days and use the Steamdeck for any real handheld gaming.

  • How to export 2FA from Authy into another service such as Bitwarden?
  • Sadly this is probably impossible at this point. Before their whole fiasco discontinuing the desktop app there was a procedure I did where I was able to download a super old version of the desktop app and use Chrome to get into the dev interface (or something like that) of the app, then use a script someone made to export everything. Maybe if you search around you can find some way to do this with the mobile app, but I am not optimistic.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? December 10
  • One of my favorite things about the long Sanderson books is that even though they are SO LONG, they are paced so well that I never felt like it was too long. All the building up in the middle is important and enjoyable (at least to me), and it all wraps up so quickly and nicely at the end of every book.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? December 10
  • My re-read for Stormlight Archive has been taking longer than I figured it would, so I just started Rhythm of War this morning. I even got Wind and Truth delivered a day early, but didn't get to start it lol.

  • As Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Steam Reviews Collapse to ‘Overwhelmingly Negative,’ Dev Admits It ‘Completely Underestimated’ Excitement for the Game - IGN
  • A completely ridiculous lie on their part. What sane person would give /Microsoft/ any benefit of the doubt whatsoever? (nobody here so far, just saying in general) Microsoft owns insane cloud infrastructure and are also the publishers of the game. If there's a problem, it's one they chose not to address, not one that was simply "underestimated".

  • It was actually super easy
  • I actually agree, that could be pretty fun. That said this puts a lot of work / pressure on the DM so it is definitely something to be discussed rather than used to be lazy. (To be clear, I am not reading this into what you said. Just saying it out loud is all)
