So which is it? Can they confirm or deny?

Until the AI generating the content starts hallucinating.

Exactly. This isn’t explicitly piracy. Just because it can be used as such, doesn’t mean it perpetrates piracy. Some prefer to have a backup for their game installers. That’s all this is.

It would be nice if there was a link to the game somewhere, unless I’m overlooking it…

Have you ever purchased a game from GoG? If so, chances are it comes DRM-free in which case you could legally keep a copy in your “Game Vault.”

This allows you to have your own local copy to download and install. No GoG launcher required.

I played the Beta. It had somewhat of an interesting gimmick, but the rest didn’t feel very polished. Granted, that was the Beta.

Comparing it to FragPunk which shortly followed, Fragpunk just felt better. I’ve been enjoying it since its release.

Phind.com is a great alternative that provides sources.

Perhaps a model like itch.io offers. Each product can set a price or have a “pay what you want” model. I feel some would be more likely to give money if it’s right up front.

But the biggest part that I think we need, is a centralized location, store or not. Sometimes it’s hard to find if an open source alternative even exists because it could be on Github, Gitlab, Codeberg, etc.

This site seems way outdated, not just in terms of style. It suggests Chrome as an open source alternative to Firefox, but also that Firefox is an open source alternative to Internet Explorer 7.

Just a PSA, never ever EVER request deletion of an Oracle free tier if there is any possibility you might want one in the future.

You can delete/remove instances or whatever as you desire, but you won’t be able to get a second free tier account even if the first is completely deleted.

To be honest, Wizard is the best way to play Avowed.

I have really being enjoying it, granted, I didn’t actually buy it. Just playing through Game Pass. I was definitely watching for it and started checking it out Day 1.

Is it GotY? Nah, but there haven’t been many recent games that I’ve enjoyedn as much.

Ah well I’m glad to see the devs sticking to their passions. I’m sure they’re proud of this move.

With that said, I’m still surprised EA didn’t try to capitalize on it somehow.

Yeah fuck the 2+ million people working for big tech. They don’t deserve work unless it’s for a genuine, good-hearted startup.

Just in general. EA has a lot to around for.

Perhaps why this feels like them trying to save face.

I know her from several things (I didn’t watch Buffy), but Harriet the Spy is also my first thought. I will always think of that movie when I see those damn black and white journals too.

Oh man, I thought the same. I never saw the movie but I read the trilogy. I stumbled across them in a used book fair and something made me want to get them. I thoroughly enjoyed them.

Sorry, I was stating that “much like their laptops, I like the idea of these desktops.” I was not trying to insinuate that they themselves are alike.

Much like their laptops, I’m all for the idea, but what makes this desirable by those of us with no interest in AI?

I’m out of that loop though I get that AI is typically graphics processing heavy, can this be taken advantage of with other things like video rendering?

I just don’t know exactly what an AI CPU such as the Ryzen AI Max offers over a non-AI equivalent processor.
