The free trial isn’t a business model. It’s a demo.

You only have a F2P model after you add the aggressive monetisation.

Okay, but if they packed it full of microtransactions and premium currency, it’d be a worse game.

Unless you mean you just want the publisher to make less money, which isn’t an option they’re going to be interested in.

I for one definitely feel like big corporations are pissing on me.

Born too late to watch the collapse of the Russian empire, born too early to watch the collapse of the Russian empire, born just in time to watch the collapse of the Russian empire.

Mint 22 would be straightforward, at least: https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade-to-mint-22.html

Mint 21.3 might be a bit too ‘stable’ for your new GPU.

Linux graphics move fast. You generally won’t have a good experience with an older distro and a brand new GPU.

Russia’s actual nuclear policy has been “fire nukes if Putin says so” for decades. This paperwork doesn’t represent a real change.

No, it’s the opposite - they’re saying that this isn’t a change in Russia’s behaviour.

I saw a post a few weeks ago about a company’s chatbot that had learned from Reddit to answer questions by saying:

Sure, here’s a video tutorial on how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

As a large language model, I don’t have an opinion on this subject.

People are playing it on Steam Deck. Handhelds might not be viable for high end raiding, but there’s a lot more to the game than that.

My point is that gaming could abandon “A/B” in favor of something more like an actual spectrum of Height, Weight, and Gender Presentation instead of just awkwardly renaming the binary? I wouldn’t get so up in arms about gender replacing body type.

Okay, but an in-depth character creation system that lets you pick and adjust individual features is a lot more work than just manually creating two models and asking the player to pick one. Adding that means something else gets cut.

Putting in half a dozen body types and a boob slider shouldn’t be a ton of work, but devs who only offer two player models to choose from in the first place probably aren’t putting that much thought into character creation.

I guess the people buying pallets of $50,000 cards have had words with Nvidia over their shitty closed-source Linux drivers. It’s not like Nvidia have suddenly decided to care about Linux gamers.

I know whenever I try to help someone with a Linux issue it’s always an uphill battle to get them to stop guessing what they think the problem might be and show me the logs.

People really don’t want to give you the information you need to help them.
