And without the context that these devs just added Denuvo to their game, you might have a point. They shouldn't be supported for fucking consumers, time can be tracked by adding as a non-Steam game, and by the point they remove Denuvo, the patches probably won't be rolling in anymore.

Personally, I don't pirate, so this is where I'd buy grey market or used on console. They wanna be dicks, I'm gonna be a dick right back.

Yes, but also no.

I didn't play the Halo franchise until late 2015-early 2016, but I thought 3 and ODST were disappointing, and I stopped one mission into Reach. These days, Reach and 3 are my two favorite Halo games and ODST gets an honorable mention for its campaign. So what changed? In retrospect, it's because they were running on a 360 with an ass framerate, ass resolution, and ass FOV with a weird crosshair that made me subconsciously raise my head and controller-based controls that I was bad at. They were uncomfortable for me to play on the hardware I had to run them on, and as soon as I had them with all that QOL improved, the experience was completely different.

This experience, along with plenty others, has shown me that it's often not the game itself and could be several other factors, from the port and the platform to my expectations and my attitude. So while I've had a bunch of "disappointing" patient experiences, a good amount of them stopped being disappointing when I gave them another shot

I don't keep an ATM in my bedroom, unfortunately.

Only time I have cash for tipping is when I get tipped.

People complain about them supposedly having DRM now or whatever but, to be frank, the fact that I can just click "print" and it actually prints makes it miles ahead by default. My printer actually functions now so I can't say I have any regrets.

The people who develop lemmy get paid to do so, as stated by iirc Dessalines themselves.

I would put donating to those running instances at the highest priority, because without servers, we have nothing.

Probably Duke Nukem Forever. I told myself that if it were ever $1, I'd buy it.

Then it was in the $1 tier of a Humble Bundle. Gonna be honest, still not really worth it, I don't think. Never finished it, didn't really think it was that fun.

This is the 50s, I think it'd be pretty easy to draw a line from casual racism to white supremacists. A key difference this time is that it's not just Germans led by one insane man, it's instead a bunch of redneck prices and conspiracy theorists.

Maybe if Valve could work out shipping them to other regions officially we'd see more growth. I still see people lamenting that they can't buy a Deck without going to some sketchy third-party and overpaying.

No, federation means we all see the same content regardless of which site we sign up on with the exception of sites that yours may block.

But be wary that lemmy.ml is a tankie instance and the ".ml" stands for Marxism-Leninism. I generally avoid lemmy.ml communities so I don't get banned for saying "the uyghur genocide is a real thing" or anything.
