We use paper ballots in Germany as well. It’s a good method to keep elections transparent - paper ballots can theoretically be counted and evaluated by anyone.

Voting machines are a black box that you have to trust the manufacturer presents accurate results.

Thanks. I mean, its not your fault, you just used the original title.

With happened to putting the game’s title, “The Day Before”, in quotes?

I wouldnt know

I remember an email I sent to Randall Munroe once, asking where I can buy his ebook “What if” without DRM.

He emailed me back that unfortunately there is no place to buy it without DRM, because of the publisher, but he also linked this comic in his email:

Too coherent. It needs more rambling off in random directions, maybe think about electrocuting a sinking shark or smth

Even if you are a EU citizen, apple will remove your ability to sideload if you leave the EU for an extended period (I dont recall if it is 30 or 90 days)

Probably just a troll farming for clown awards.

Make that “Gaming on Linux”. I’ve barely come accross a game that wouldnt work at all, ocassionally (usually with older titles) setting up a decent controll scheme can be some work. To be fair, though, I mostly play single player games or casual multiplayer games - I don’t play any esports titles or competitive multiplayer games, so unsupported anti-cheat hasn’t been an issue for me.

All the effort Valve has put into proton for the steam deck has paid off for regular Linux gaming as well. So much so, that Linux has been my main OS for about a month.

Tbh, I haven’t been paying attention to the compatibility marker, at all. The day the game released, I played it on steam deck, unlocked all achievements a few weeks ago - entirely on the steam deck.

Thanks. I didn’t realize that was the case, I installed the plugin at some point but eventually uninstalled it, because I always fell back to Heroic Games Launcher, because GOG has my third largest library of games (after steam and the free epic giveaways).

Having to join their patreon to get early access to a beta plugin (essentially paying money to become a tester) does sound like embracing the current state of game development and not something I am willing to encourage/participate in.

I’ll stick with HGL for the time being, I can just add that to steams gamescope.

What aspect of it is paid?

If you have access to a 3d printer (owning one, having a friend that owns one, or a makerspace near you), this is a really handy print:

oh, wait. seat 1 is not behind but in front of trump? then I’ll pick seat 1, I don’t know who the guy next to me is and it seems like I could just ignore him while I play video games.

When I got my steam deck in 2022, I prepared an SD specifically for booting windows, because I figured I might need to boot it at some point for playing a game. 1 year later, I have not once had to boot windows to play a game. Incidentally, it often was easier to get older games working on proton in Linux than it was on a modern windows system.

I am not personally playing many multiplayer games, though, but I can see how being locked out of playing a current multiplayer game with your friends would be an issue. We can only hope that kernel level anti cheat is going the way of the dodo. But from what i understand, that would in a lot of cases mean for Tim Sweeney to get off his high horse, because of EOS, no?

I know you are kidding, but after the failed Steam Machines, the Steam deck has made people realize that gaming on Linux is mostly viable. Microsoft has pissed me off enough with windows 11, that I have decided to switch to Linux as my main OS on desktop as well.

Game is on sale for $5, 75% off on steam right now.

I just use an IKEA Len pregnancy/breastfeeding pillow. Does the job very well.

“My interview with Elon was the biggest interview ever. Many people were watching, so many people that X, it was to be called twitter, but not anymore, its now called X, couldn’t even handle all the viewers.
A lot of people still call it Twitter nowadays, have you ever noticed? But they should call it X, as it is now called X, but they still call it twitter which is not accurate.
My good friend Elton Music, who is the owner of X, which was called twitter in the past, and he has tremendous infrastructure. Such great infrastructure over there, genius mind my friend Ellen Must has, but it still couldn’t handle all the viewers wanting to watch Eileen interview me.”

Most people are saying it, because steam simply doesn’t sync offline played playing time.

When playing offline, it temporarily tracks the offline playtime locals in your library. Butnomce you connect to the servers, it will sync up the playtime with what has been stored on valves servers, erasing any locally played game time.
