You can get a licence from Nintendo if you like.

Shouldn’t take them long to patent the concept of “game”.

edit: that transit app website is the worst marketer crap I have ever stepped in, scrolled so many fucking pages of artistic empty-words and vision speak and still have NO FUCKING CLUE what the app does.

I have to concur. They probably hired some kind of marketing guy that convinced them it had to be done that way.

At least it’s from Canada and not the US…

That being said, I’m not going to use it. I’ll just rely on my local public transportation’s app. The whole thing is financed by the region (transport ticket sales only account for a small part of the cost of the whole thing, as is the case in most places), so I’m ok with it…

Just that that quoting convention has been used forever.

It’s been standard since the early days of email and Usenet.

Kde has mostly small padding and alignment issues instead of having a completely random design.
I can live with that.

Walking is even slower, but there’s no lack of walking games.

They’ve been busy doing that for the past 20+ years. It’s been an annoyance, but not really a deterrent.

That works on their version of linux.

And you can pay with Diner’s Club! Haven’t seen that one in the wild for ages.

I think of those as BSD thoughtful and pondered, and Linux as fairly fast and maybe thoughtless (in the jouyful sense that things have to go forward). In the end BSD is definitely cleaner, but behind, and Linux is much messier but is at the front of what’s going on.

And I’m sayin this as someone who’s worked with both systems for decades and even though I prefer Linux on the desktop or on servers, on embedded systems, where you’d need some really clean code to poke at, BSD really shines.

Of course BSD works fine (mostly) everywhere. It’s almost as good today as it was in 2000.

Silly Google, we don’t run Chrome.

The problem is that the purpose of Anubis was to make crawling more computationally expensive and that crawlers are apparently increasingly prepared to accept that additional cost. One option would be to pile some required cycles on top of what’s currently asked, but it’s a balancing act before it starts to really be an annoyance for the meat popsicle users.

Slackware, to get away from the pink boys! Also there were only two or three distributions at the time.
Too many to remember since then.

(Hail Eris!)

I run Linux in English (because translated Unix looks weird) even though I’m not in or from an English speaking country. Sorry for skewing the stats.

I liked the comment going “Steam doesn’t have data on PC gamers, only Steam gamers.”, hinting at the seven gamers that stubbornly refuse to use Steam and still hunt for CDs, or old archives of shareware. They are people too dammit!

Yes, obviously, and you don’t typically have trouble with display drivers either nowadays, I suppose we were both jesting.

The right way to do it would probably be either to spin a dedicated partition, or to add a boot entry that sets up a dedicated environment for the game (I haven’t really thought about it but it’s probably doable). In both cases it’s a bit silly, when the whole anti-cheat thing is apparently mostly useless anyway.

In Linux you could prob just run a pass-through in a couple of VMs.

So instead of having trouble with drivers for your one GPU, you can have it with two. Awesome.

Oh, ok. That makes sense.

It’s strange that console exploits wouldn’t work consistently on identical hardware with identical firmware. What is it that makes it fail so often?
