Exactly, he’s made so much money off the American public and when stuff gets bad he leaves. Normally lemmy doesn’t defend the rich but here we are.

You know he won’t lmfao

He could use his money to fund opposition

Oh good centralized under github instead of Nexus, that’ll solve all the problems!

I’m not sure how long you’ve been modding games, but nexus is a treasure despite its problems and the way it has scaled was to suit the need of the userbase.

Don’t get me wrong, flathub is great, but there’s an insane amount of other variables in the mix with modding games that makes it much more complex then just downloading a package. Not to mention the entire ecosystem built out (thinking things like wabbajack, mod organizer, etc)

It does if you’re launching through something else so steam doesn’t realize you’re launching it, like don’t directly hit play on the actual game.

Sadly it usually does result in a stock price increase, because less expenses

Disable updates in steam and launch with a different icon to bypass the update on launch, classic Bethesda game workarounds

And who’s hosting that git repo?

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

Basically twin stick shooters

To point out they already tried this for gamers specifically with GeForce now, stadia, etc and its not exactly a cash cow. Not sure why they think a whole pc is preferable.

I’m not sure if this is a dig or true, so I’ll assume it’s true and say that’s honestly super cute. I love when old folks use fun slang :p

My wife surprisingly loved Divinity Original Sin 1/2 can be played on controller splitscreen or M/kb

I’m not sure how you’ve come to the conclusion I think America is good in any way lmao. Are you arguing with someone else?

And yeah I’m a Millenial and use lol and lmao, don’t care what you think about that.

Used swappa many times, can confirm it was good at least a few years ago.

If you think the US isn’t backdooring Chinese tech too you’d be mistaken lmao.

Its not that Chinese tech is any more secure fundamentally, they just don’t literally build in backdoors for the CIA/FBI/Etc… They’re still hackable especially if they’re just running android or similar.

I mean, do you really think it’s better idea to let them build their own water and power system separate?

They should be forced to upgrade the existing infrastructure so everyone benefits.

Are you truly implying it’d be more secure to buy Chinese tech then US specifically if you’re not wanting to be spied on by the CCP?

That’s quite the take lmao.

I think the more balanced take would be both sides are doing it lmao.

And? Do you understand the rationale behind the existing bans?
