They have dropped OS support and raised DirectX and hardware requirements over time. 15 years ago is 2010, EVE came out around 2003 and at the time would have run on older hardware than just it’s release year.

Don’t live service games do this all the time? Try running an early 2000s MMO like EVE on 20 year old hardware now.

Are you able to buy a game on an xbox without paying a cut to microsoft? Because you can buy a game on steamdeck without giving valve a cut. Though I suspect the vast majority don’t because valve actually work for their cut given the tools they have made to help games run on the hardware even if the game wasn’t built for it.

As long as nothing dominates I am ok with it

Of those steam is the only one that doesn’t force you to buy software through them on their own hardware. Obviously they would like you to, but you are free to buy elsewhere.

I like games where bullets are lethal, played Verdun, Tannenberg and Isonzo quite a bit

Bought it ages ago but didn’t really play much. Might give it a play tomorrow and try join multiplayer as I haven’t touched that yet.

I use QOwnNotes. It is open source and works with nextcloud/owncloud, files are stored in plain text so if you wanted to switch to something else it should be pretty simple.

You are focusing on negative news. Stop doing that. There are also plenty of good things as well but they rarely get talked about. For example, we now produce more new solar power production in a day than we did in a year a couple of decades ago. Production is increasing. The average person in the UK (where I live so I would focus on that a bit more) produces less than half the CO² than they did in 2000, which is its self a bit less than was produced decades before. We actually produce less than the global average now.

There is an increasing push on heat pumps now, its likely still in its early phases. I got one a bit over a year ago and its great. So much misinformation about them online though. Which I wouldn’t be surprised if its pushed by the gas industry.

You might have depression

Every time I have been banned the “content shared” link doesn’t work, just links to an empty section. I mentioned this in the appeal and it was ignored. What a shit platform.

How? There are no electronics in the first place.

You know I only ever get more glad that I didn’t learn to drive and went with cycling instead. It started due to not being able to afford it, now I won’t own their shit and I will be happy.

I thought it was ok, but not even close to the other two.

Please stop sending my girlfriend dick pics. She is coming to see me soon, just need to help pay for her flight.

And no one talks about the 3rd film

Ads have become bad enough I have decided to be actively malicious towards them with AdNauseam, which clicks them all in the background for me. Advertisers pay as if someone clicked on the advert. Every. Single. Advert.

The only one that loses out is the advertiser. If anything the website profits from it.

If no one is liable then it’s tempting to deliberately confuse them to crash

Yeah, got banned on one of my accounts for supporting the killing of a nazi. Some people were pointing out someone having kids and I pretty much said so fucking what? Nazis can have kids, they still need to die.

At least a protest outside their HQ you can hold up pro Luigi content.
