Slay the Spire devs followed through on abandoning Unity
Reply in thread
StS2 was being developed in Unity iirc, and they moved to Godot for that new game (and possibly also future games?).

There is none in the way of a transfer. Neither Steam nor GOG will give you a copy of the game in exchange for another platform's copy, nor give you a copy on a competing platform in exchange for theirs.
provided the technical protections measures used by the Game support such transfer
This boils down to if your method of ownership supports it, you can do it. Neither Steam nor GOG support it. A physical disk copy would support it, for instance, so you'd be entirely allowed to transfer ownership of your physical disk copy of the game.

Phones should have FM radio again (as an emergency safety feature)

All phones I've ever owned did that. The radio app would tell you to plug your earphones.

Steam has a new hit game, and it’s Pokémon with guns
Reply in thread
That's exactly what this is. It's ARK meets BotW plus pokemon, but the pokemon actively help around your base, you don't lose them permanently when they die, and you carry them in their pokeballs. And it doesn't run as dogshit as ARK proper, so that's something?

Im still undecided about if it looks fun though

The Syndicate isn't against the mistreatment of pals. It's the team rocket here. They keep pals in metal cages, which you release.
The pal liberation front is what you're describing instead.

Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?
EndeavourOS.
I'm naturally a tinkerer and an avid gamer, with very recent hardware so an Arch based distro fits really nice.
It has just the right amount of pre-installed stuff. Not quite as bloaty as Manjaro or most ubuntu-based distros, but not quite as DIY as vanilla Arch. I know I can install and uninstall anything on Linux but when a distro already comes with just the right baseline for me, work smarter, not harder.
Ubuntu/Debian based distros didn't quite suit me, I love the AUR to death, I love the Arch wiki (even if a lot of it can be used just fine on other distros), I love rolling release and having the latest everything. I do use PopOS on my laptop since I use it a lot less and therefore I want to update it less often.
Only issue is when they ship dumb defaults sometimes that break my workflow but I can diagnose and undo them I guess.

Far-right populist Javier Milei fails to win first round of Argentina’s presidential election
Reply in thread
That's exactly the why. Whenever a peronist presidency fails (which is... all of them for the most part), people will vote for the "whatever's not peronism". It's akin to people in the US voting "not rep". You can't think of this as right/left, it's "populists you know that never fix things, vs someone else that might be a nuclear bomb on the economy and everything else but current status quo is already a guaranteed death sentence albeit slower so might as well try something new". That's the pendulum swinging hard in the opposite direction, people don't vote for the status quo when in desperation and crisis. This time it's just more extreme than usual. It doesn't help that there's not a single actually good option that you'd say "yeah, I can live with this" available.

Temporary mental block

Same. Been wanting to learn some new frameworks and stuff, but I'm incapable of learning without using it on a real use-case project I actually need.
And I've been all out of ideas on that front for a while.

TIL. And thanks for the Windows analogues. I like learning about stuff like this.

Palworld server costs near $500K per month as network engineer is ordered to 'never let the service go down no matter what'
Reply in thread
Also missing Steams regional pricing, which would be very hard to guesstimate but for reference in the LATAM/MENA regions, it's like $13.
They still made a shitton of money mind you but yeah, a bit lower than estimated here.
EDIT: Also in some countries, the Xbox/MS price was like $1 so again, numbers could be lower.

Microsoft already has a webview software that deals with that, which afaik already also comes with Windows, and is independent of Edge.
Edge, the browser proper, is in no way a dependency of anything else.

A question about secure chats
Reply in thread
To "link" other devices you have to scan a qr from your phone, so it's certainly possible that during that process the devices connect and share the key, and the servers don't have it.
Or the servers could have it. Idk, it's closed source, that's the problem at hand.

Some things just aren't good enough yet.
Like VR compatibility and performance, particularly with nvidia and quest headsets.
Otherwise yeah, 99% of my games would run perfectly fine.

Immutable distros recommindation?
Reply in thread
Except the installer requires one specific repo mirror to be up, which can't be customized, which has been down for weeks and the dev isn't very interested in providing any fix or workaround so a lot of people literally can't install it.
It's a bad suggestion, it's a beta product not fit for end user consumption yet.

Yeah I sure hope they've learned from NMS and specifically underpromise and overdeliver, but most nervousness can be explained by him just being an introverted dork. I can relate.

Top 20 games played on Steam Deck in the past month, sorted by playtime.
Reply in thread
What you find acceptable is entirely based on your personal preference, how much you've already been exposed to higher specs, and how privileged you are in hardware, so some people are memeing and others are serious based on these. If console and mid-range pc gaming is all you know, the Steam Deck provides similar performance, and it's a full on pc (with all the customization potential and non-gaming software availability you'd expect from a pc) in a handheld form factor, and a fairly console-like stock OS, if that's appealing to you. But if you want 120-240 fps on latest AAA games, no, you won't find the Steam Deck's performance acceptable, but then also you wouldn't be the target audience.

Pokémon With Guns Game So Popular The Servers Can’t Handle It
Reply in thread
Yeah if you're going for a game that's mostly Pokemon-based, this ain't it.
It's just ARK but pokemon instead of dinosaurs, and you don't lose them when they're killed, and it has some of that botw/genshin exploration/collectability sprinkled in. It's fun, but it's a survival first, mons are one of the gimmicks.
