Opensource it and let users choose the levers. Otherwise fuck off. I don’t need another brain rot feed I have to figure out how to block or ignore in my life

I like a few graphic novel games. Now Steam recommends a deluge of GRAPHIC novel games that have zero interesting story or hook to them, because the tag system. It’s kind of nuts

Yeah honestly, do they have anything worse pirating right now?

Dude I had no notion that it would be AI, in fact figured they would just reuse voice lines, but I saw an actual cut scene that looked like Sgt Johnson was an animatronic stuck in a theme park ride.

The same character who’s voice acting was iconic before…

Exactly. The “made easy” part is a pretty big sell for a lot of people. Heck it’s a sell for me and I love tinkering, but I have plenty of other projects lol

AMD Fine Wine Technology ™️ is definitely a thing with their opensource drivers. Value helps a bit now too but rising tide and all. I think the creature comforts of steamos do stand out. Easy menu for system level FSR for example. Resume game from shutdown looks great too.

Those make it compete to game consoles at least. If you can tinker it’s about the same (with ups and downs) to any other distro.

Slay the Princess is an awesome game so I’m definitely excited for another game from the studio.

I do hope their new studio keeps them better supported

Good news! On the firmware side there is some serius work being done to support it!

https://www.basicinputoutput.com/2025/01/amd-opensil.html?m=1 is AMDs work to opensource hardware intialzation

https://opensourcefirmware.foundation/projects/ Has a good list of mostly BIOS/UEFI replacements.

Idk about memory, Usb, sata or PCIe controllers though. (something else?)

Anyone make a tool to auto claim free games, download, and seed games yet?

For real GOG supports actual game ownership. Steam supports game flexiabilty of OS with all their linux support (and now arm!). I Patron/Librepay indies/foss devs. EGS’s biggest proclaimed difference is that offer less to devs/customera and offer big studios better margins.

Like why the hell would this convince me?

That makes sense. They’re requiring custom signed boots that only boot to their audited OSs for esports?

oh no, its the fucking useless default keys that can boot fucking anything because shims and Wincrap are signed by it. Just alienating folks that don’t want to deal with that crap. Morons, i swear.

Betty Boop grand stratagy game when?

The opensource engine behind it is really cool. The paint by numbers art used for it is unfortunate

Honestly these devil bargins are insane. Like do i want these gimmicks, yes, i love automation and instant access to information, but not at the expe se of security and privacy of myself and everyobe around. Like wth no stay away creeps

Honestly I was excited about o3de and still follow it from time to time, but the project feels so industrial versus Godots work

This groups number is one I’ve seen circulated for calling if you see an arrest happening.

Maybe with CXL or infinityfabric that won’t matter as much.

Don’t know what they’re support looks like on the consumer side though

Of course! It’s what got me started!

I love it as a concept, and frankly a dual boot installer (create partitions) that worked from Windows would be pretty useful I think. USB/disk installs add complexity that just hurt the chances.
