As in abandonware? Or delisted due to cultists? Either way, the answer is yes.

6.4L of air produces 1 cm^3^ of iron. I guess that's not that bad. It's like three people filling their lungs with air.

We don't disagree. Our approach is just different. Neither of us are throwing much money at these companies.

Just the other day I've bought the FO4 GOTY edition for (checks email) C$13.37 (lol), which included all DLCs, and I thought it was a fair price for the quality of the game and content it provides. With the 30% cut that steam takes, I hope Bobby or Todd or whoever is in charge now is happy.

I'm a Linux user as well (arch btw) and I just look at protondb and https://areweanticheatyet.com/ as a reference. If something comes up as less than stellar, I'll just skip purchasing it.

Longest I had to tinker with were Project Zomboid (due to ancient gfx before I bought a new one) and Jedi Fallen Order (just to fine tune for performance/fidelity, took about 15 minutes).

I understand if you regularly go for games that require a lot of tinkering you might need more time though, but the Steam return is 2hrs of played time, not 2hrs of owning the game.

Right. But again, that's on the individual for buying it for loads of cash upon release. The writing was on the wall for all these shitty AAA producing companies for years, yet the preorder FOMO train never stopped.

I agree about piracy/cracks for stuff that you already bought, but the publisher broke it in some way. But these are the exception, not the norm.

I didn't say all games. I'm a patient gamer. I buy when they go on sale, years later. Unless it's a really well received indie game. I try to pay full price for those.

Steam (and I assume other platforms as well) change prices depending on region. So what may seem unaffordable in Canadian Dollars, is likely well priced in Hungarian Forint or Czech Korunas.

Nvidia is already in Israel too. This would be a new campus.

Works for me, and I'm not even in NL.

That just means that the idiot writing the article got the link provided to them by chatgpt during their research. All it does is tell the website that you visited that you followed a link from the given source. They can aggregate the data from all visitors for metrics, to see where they lag behind in exposure. But they can't associate users to each other with this method.

Unlike the "igsh" tag in instagram post/reel urls, which when opened, will immediately create a popup stating "join on Instagram today!"
