If I tell you I’m your god and you should give me all your money or you won’t go to heaven, you will rightly call me a liar, even though you can’t really prove that I’m not.
You won’t say “oh I guess there’s no way to prove he’s not god, so I’d better give him my money”.
In science, the default stance on something existing is that it doesn’t, unless there’s solid proof, or at least a compelling scientific theory suggesting that it does.
Which did you use to prove there is? What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
He’s only not evil because he can’t understand his actions.
A god would have to be dumb for this logic to apply.
Steam is a ticking time bomb but mostly for the reason that you don’t own the games you purchase there and you can’t back them up (mostly) so when Steam decides to ban your account or just closes down, you lose all of your games forever.
More people should push for DRM-free games with offline installers, like GOG and Itch offer.
How does this compare to Joplin?
Is there, or will there be a self-hostable server to sync notes between devices?
And does it support Markdown?
Physical media FTW. I wish it was easier to obtain movies and shows physically. I like to own my stuff.
But now no one has all the new major releases, so in that regard it’s a worse experience.
You first start spreading, then you start feeling ill - about 2-3 days later. If you left your home within 2 days before noticing symptoms, you’ve been spreading covid.
Well then let me actually download the movie like it was a game, then! And how exactly does it take less bandwidth? It’s still tens or hundreds of gigabytes to download every time someone wants to install a game, most people only use the offline installers as backups.
What do you use for automating the backups?
And yet, somehow, GOG and Itch still exist, allowing you to download games completely DRM-free, as often as you like. If they ever go out of business, you can still use your local copies forever.
How do they do it? A mystery…
Isn’t he only a CEO? What exactly did he himself create?
You’re not “supposed to” upgrade every year, that’s the point. You should be able to use a 5 year old phone if you want to.
So something like a Synology NAS, I guess.
Solid engine costs extra. That’s the entire point.
… And then spend twice or thrice the buying price fixing random things that break in a car that spends most of its time parked at the mechanic.
I’ll be the first to say that I only begrudgingly accept Steam exists. However, I avoid using it and vastly prefer GOG due to the DRM-free nature of their store and the offline installers.
Just because the hate on Epic is vocal does not mean that everyone likes the Steam status quo.
Fair enough. Still, games used to be vastly cheaper in my country and the asking price for the basic version of Starfield is 80 USD. There is no way any game is worth this much of my income.
When will it release on GOG?
Jesus, that sounds like hell.
