I think you should be able to do a USB drive boot of the distro you are interested in and check whether you can get all these things working? It’ll run slow though so don’t be scared of performance is less than you were hoping for. It’ll be much better in the install.

They could. That takes a lot more employees than they have and would mean that they were the place with all the shitty free games.

I don’t think it’s cynical. Their review model would make it very hard to make payment fair (we can always argue about whether Steam overcharges for its services) since it would be a pain in the butt to track income from advertisement.

But the advertisement business model makes for worse games. I think it makes great sense for Steam to ban them. And if games on Steam are better then that’s good for game developers that use their platform.

How would Steam get paid for their services if all your income was from ads?

Both are full so it reduces the amount of cold air that can escape when you open them.

This is a very good joke

Instead just buy something he wants to play so you can play it together. Or at least talk about it.

The Last of Us is still selling.

Thank God actual cops haven’t watched those TV shows and movies.

Perpetual licenses are dumb though. Software is a living breathing thing. Without developers it starts to die.

Ray tracing. It makes good looking human skin. But if course it only matters for 3D games that aren’t cel shaded.

Some of the promotion animation videos are amazing. I wish they would link to them in-game so no one misses them (like me because I don’t care about YouTube).
