That’s not true. Most are battle-eye or easy-anti-cheat, both of which are supported on proton. The vast majority of multiplayer games you can play without issue. There’s a handful from China that don’t work, and anything with kernel level DRM or AC obviously, but I’d rather stay away from those anyway.

I did have trouble a long time ago with Squad, where the it was using an obsolete C++ thing, but the flatpak of Steam included it. It now works. Also, The Finals didn’t work at launch because they hadn’t updated their AC, but it does now.

It’s easy to check. https://www.protondb.com/search?q=Assassin’s+creed

It looks like they did (and probably still do) just fine. Very few games don’t at this point.

Yeah, at this point Blender is ahead in a lot of areas already. It’s just that companies are slow to change and also (I assume) they think it looks less professional to use the free software, regardless of the massive advantages like new employees already being familiar with it.

As the other comment says, 1000 is often shortened to 1k, not just in America. It comes from the Greek kilo (meaning thousand), represented by kappa, which far predates the Metric system that borrowed it later.

So, ironically, all games effected by this would run better on Linux through WINE with Proton. Funny how the tables have turned. Linux is absolutely the best platform for gaming now, not Windows.

Although they recommend WhatsApp, which is owned and controlled by Meta. I’d be surprised if they don’t have access to that.

Ah, that explains why their custom emojis don’t render correctly anywhere else. I wish that piece of code would get merged into the main version so it’d be less annoying.

Others may not be explicitly exclusionary, but they are implicitly. You can’t really take the Greek pantheon and mythos and also the Hindu one. Almost every religion has an origin myth about how the world was created, which you really can’t have two versions of that. Religions typically don’t mesh together well.

With that said, religions tend to evolve and engulf neighbor’s beliefs into their own. This doesn’t mean they weren’t exclusive, rather that religion is malleable because it’s made up and not based on fact.

So I mostly agree with you, except the understanding that most gods must not be real is axiomatically true, based on the beliefs of those religions. Almost every religion claims they believe in the one true god(s), so either all the other aren’t real or theirs is wrong and not real. That leaves mostly only one pantheon remaining at most, with maybe a few other that aren’t exclusive.

Its not a belief that most religions most be wrong, and odds are whatever religion any particular person believes is wrong based on how many competing religions have existed.

This is separate to a statement on a god though, only religions. There is no way to make a reasonable argument on the existence (or lack thereof) of a god. You can rule out particular beliefs, but never the concept itself.

I know there are ways to have torrents automatically download when they appear, so you could set it up to have your episodes download as soon as they’re ready and you can watch them at your convenience. I don’t recall how, but I know I’ve read about that, but never needed it myself. I’m sure it’s easy to find the resources online.

No, they wanted to pretend like they were combating them while leaving them fully intact. There are pretty easy ways to combat it, but that also requires they destroy the market they profit so much off of. The trade window system (purposefully) did very little to stop this. It’s was purely PR, which some gullible people actually believed.

People like Valve, so they believe everything they do is honest and good. It isn’t. It may be better than some other companies, but it doesn’t make them good. You can recognize when they do the right thing while also recognizing when they’re doing the wrong things, and enabling gambling (underage or not) is bad. At a minimum, they control CS esports, so they could ban advertising from gambling sites if they don’t want to block it in its entirety.

The problem is all the AAA publishers just keep increasing budgets to keep up. This creates a situation where games are so expensive they can’t take risks, so they just follow a formula and are boring and generic. That’s how we’ve gotten to where we are now. AAA games are failing because their budgets are too large. They need to make more smaller, interesting and unique games rather than one massive budget game.

I have essentially fully turned away from AAA personally. Thinking about it, I can’t actually tell you the last one I played. Indie games are where all the good stuff is.

The first-person shooter genre used to be called Doom Clones because they were all viewed as rip offs of Doom (which, to be fair, many were). Genre conventions are created by copying what others have done. Souls is a game series, which has been so influential that it became a genre.

I case you didn’t see the other comments, this is a backronym to give people an excuse to say it isn’t actually racist. It comes from modding Japanese cars, referring to them as rice because they’re Asian. It’s pretty racist.

I can guess a few reasons. First is he’s getting something out of it. He’s probably getting technology and weapons, but also probably money and potentially officers are getting experience in a real modern war.

Also, it’s fewer mouths to feed in NK if they’re dead. That alone probably makes it nearly neutral. It’s not like those back home are going to be hearing about how these soldiers are just being thrown away to die.

I think this headline is likely wrong. Political podcasts, for example, seem to be doing fairly well. It’s just the shit the large news groups are putting out that people are running from. You can only fear monger and have 24/7 outrage for so long before people tune it out for their own sanity.

No one needs to “offer” Proton. It’s available freely for anyone. I think some people think Proton is a Steam thing. It isn’t. Yeah, Valve did a lot of work on it, which is great, but it isn’t limited to them. Vlave has essentially unlimited resources, and I’m happy they spent some making improvements for WINE, but GOG does not have nearly the same resources. I wouldn’t expect them to put their effort into that. Valve only did because they were building hardware that they wanted to run Linux.

Both are good. Usually scale gives better efficiency, though nuclear is already so efficient that it isn’t strictly required. I’m in favor of moving forward with both, and we should be getting the government to support the development, at least by removing unnecessary barriers that are there just to prop up dirty energy a little longer.

Also, fuck solar and wind because the waste they require right? Fuck batteries because they cause a lot of pollution to create!

I can say fuck all kinds of things. At least I pretend to have a reason. You can’t even be bothered to do that.

You’re pretending I said something I didn’t. It’s perfectly safe because of all the safeguards in place. Some regulations are needed, but it’s over-regulated. Anyone who doesn’t have their head in their ass can see this. Nuclear power generators have to contain all of their fuel (and pay in advance for the privilege), meanwhile coal spews radioactive material everyone at no cost to themselves. Does that seem reasonable?

Nuclear has caused very few deaths and little damage relative to most other power sources. It is safer than ever and only getting safer. It’s a fantastic base-load power source. If you factor in storage to green energy (which I approve of too) it becomes even more expensive than nuclear. Nuclear doesn’t need storage as it can ramp up at any time. Green energy is great for peak-demand during the day, but when it’s not available or not sufficient, nuclear is an ideal option to make up for it.
