I’m generally pretty much in agreement with the idea that online services are crap because you don’t really own the things you buy, but honestly I’ve been buying physical media since the 80s and pirating since the 90s, and the oldest games I currently have easy access to are ones I bought on Steam. I’m not a collector or an archivist or anything. Those just aren’t hobbies that interest me, and I move a lot, and don’t always take care of my stuff, and freely lend things to unreliable friends, and frequently wipe my drives to try out new Linux distros, so at this point even if Valve probably won’t be around forever I still expect my Steam games to last longer than anything else I could get. Steam is really the only reason I ever buy games at all anymore.
You can move your home directory to a different drive so that you don’t lose everything when you switch distros.
Yeah, I know, but I like starting with fresh dotfiles. It gets rid of all the weird settings changes I’ve made and makes the install really feel clean and fresh. I do have important stuff backed up. I’m just overly aggressive about removing unimportant stuff.
I’m actually about to do this this weekend. I use Arch on my laptop and Pop on my gaming desktop. I’m going to switch my gaming desktop over to Arch. The only thing I’m going to keep is my docs folder. Everything else is getting nuked.
A lot of newer games are also big enough that backing them up reliably actually is a meaningful burden. My Steam library is like 900 games. Even though a lot of them are 500MB, a lot of them aren’t.
I can’t store that shit.
Piracy is supposed to be a way for everyone to have access to culture, not a way to never pay for what you play, watch & support the creators lmao
Linux users always so desperate to get windows users to switch over.
Until the user experience is not “spend hours on forums to find hacky fixes for things that just work on windows” its gonna be a tough sell.
I switched over to Linux about a year ago and personally do not care if you do. But I do agree that some seemingly simple stuff on Linux can be fucking annoying. And that would be fine if you could post on forums without at the very least one douche nozzle implying that you are an idiot.
Yeah, my big issue is the most common suggestion anytime i have an issue is to switch distros instead of an actual solution.
1 doesnt make sense for linux or piracy. neither of which involve “buying”, but simply downloading.
Some Linux distros needs to be purchased. But that piracy forum should obviously be replaced with gog.com if we’re talking about buying stuff
What’s the last thing?
Big(gest?) piracy forum
Mostly steam stuff, each game has its specific forum post with info on who cracked the latest versions of a game and whatnot, links to download methods and there’s also plenty of piracy related projects (like creamapi, goldberg, etc)
I’m not sure if you’re familiar with fitgirl-repacks, but most of her repack pages actually points to the cs.rin website for game updates
I own every d&d item I’ve ever purchased. But I never buy their digital crap. OG books & dice for me, man.
If you’re playing homebrew adventures, I’d say Pathfinder 2E Remastered is superior in every way nowadays.
It’s almost incredible that everything listed as tick in Linux is wrong.
Eh pathfinder 2e is definetaly better than D&D but 1e is honestly really harsh in terms of character builds.
Yeah but 2e is the newer one, and is default now. Assuming 1e is like assuming 4e for DND, it just doesn’t make that much sense.
If the chart was gonna include 1e, it would need to say so explicitly.
Also, I know it’s subtle, but they did use the 2e logo in the original post.
