It’s still $45 to access the game if you don’t have it yet(and that counts as a pledge, and therefore part of the game’s funding), but yea as a player and a backer I essentially agree. You’re basically spending money to skip game progression after the final wipe before release(whenever that happens).

IMO it takes some of the enjoyment out of the game even in its current buggy alpha form. You can earn basically everything except for the most recently(ish) released ships(and some cosmetic items) entirely within the game.

You do get a game to play for $45 though. A game with a zillion bugs and issues but a game nonetheless. I personally feel like it was worth $45 for the entertainment value I’ve gotten out of it. Not worth the amount I spent(like a decade ago), but the first $45 feels worth it now.

That being said, don’t buy the game if you expect a polished experience.

Only one? Do all if the bootlickers in the house and the senate, as well as JD vance not count?

My hopes and my expectations could not be more at odds with each other, and the only thing I know for sure is that one of them will be smashed.

Pangolin is great, I can expose things like game servers on it and have my entry point in a geographically close data center to keep the ping time lower than other options would let me.

I’m currently trying out the managed self hosted version, it seems a bit slower, but you also get ha with it which is pretty cool.

So glad I installed jellyfin years ago and never bothered to set up Plex.

I don’t want a new steam deck. I want a new steam controller and for valve to announce steam machines 2.0

Then we can finally watch windows die a (probably fairly slow, but steady) death.

Kick their ass Japan! Don’t go easy on them, make them stop their bullshit INTERNATIONALLY if they want their sanctions removed!

Couldn’t you get around this by making the “apps” in bigscreen be browser shortcuts to their respective streaming website?

if you self host, or if you can find an instance your trust, searxng is great imho.

Thanks for posting this. I was able to get my obtanium source changed. Really annoying though. Fuck Microsoft!

This man is a hero, everyone spewing hate at him needs to take a long hard look at their life.

Couldn’t you use immich for this?

Well they certainly won’t win, but I feel like they will try at some point.

So they’ve already embraced and now they’re extending. Give it a bit more time and they will start to eliminate.

It’s not private if it requires a Google account to use the feature. Edit: apparently you do not need a google account to use the feature, if so then I just hope it makes it into AOSP so we can use it on custom roms.

I love my steam deck, but I’m also glad to see more competition in the handheld gaming pc market.
