It’s all just one big ass blast.

would you let me go with “it was a joke”? 😂

It’s not him having money, it’s him spending on one of the most destructive vehicles (environment-wise) as you can buy. Multiple times. I do like that he has kept Valve private, and that he seems to understand what we gamers actually value. But that doesn’t make him a good person or Valve a good company.

Nothing, I guess.

Toooooo bad he also owns multiple yachts and people just kinda give him a pass for it.

That’s fine and perfectly valid, Tim Sweeney is a dick, I just get perturbed if people call a fairly innocuous piece of software malware. Like if nothing else at least the devs are making a chunk of cash for these freebie giveaways. I even saw something the other day where a dev said they saw Steam sales double because of a free giveaway on Epic.

malware? bro you can redeem the games on their website and use an alternate launcher to install them.

so… they arent allowing admins to uninstall it. they’re letting admins ask their users very nicely to not reinstall it.

Yeah this is a really out of touch answer. Not a surprise really.

I just read the other day that at least one motheboard manufacturer is bringing back AM4 since DDR4 is getting cheaper than DDR5, even with the “this isn’t even manufactured anymore” price markup. That’s only even possible because of how much long-term support AMD gave that socket.

Fuck that, host it yourself. Sunshine and Moonlight.

also look on the bright side… at least they haven’t given Clippy sentience yet!

granted, but now your username is “gouthaver87”

frfr. bill gates must be rolling over in his grave.

I “early adopted” Win 11 when the Ryzen 5600X came out (late 2020 i think?) and it was objectively better at release. All MS had to do was fix the start button and then not fuck with it and I’m sure there would have been way less hatorade flowing.

Daaaamn. The closest thing I could think of was my friend’s 96 (98? Whenever the EK body started) Honda civic that had the factory alarm and remote locks in the radio. He ended up splicing some wires and shoving the factory radio into his glove box or something to get around it.

How long until they start putting some kind of DRM in cars that prevents you from just installing an aftermarket android auto head unit?

Don’t forget eating almost exclusively fast food so that nobody can poison your meals.

I’m talking more like the Windows ME/XP days to be honest. But too many to count. It’s more that actually useful features that used to be fairly standard (like 7-segment status displays and speakers) are effectively being gated behind $500+ motherboards to make them more attractive. A board that would have come with alphanumeric status codes now is lucky to ship with a couple LEDs that just indicate where a problem is at, not what the specific problem is.
