Why not use an ad blocker and not rely on a single search engine this way?

This title is a bit funny. :D You had me in the first halve, not gonna lie.

Nice list. I’ve added it too, can’t hurt. Although with these third party blocking lists we get dependent on what we can see and not based on others “taste”. But I guess this is the price we pay.

This is a search tool that will only return content created before ChatGPT’s first public release on November 30, 2022.

https://tegabrain.com/Slop-Evader , the linked source code on Firefox extension page seems to no longer exist: https://github.com/tegacodes/slop-evader

So it literally cuts off everything after that date. Why the need for an extension in the browser? One can add max date to any search engine search terms and limit the results too. At least this works with Google, in example before:2022-11-30. This could be a bookmark in example: https://www.google.com/search?q=before%3A2022-11-30 Note I do not use Google myself. You have to try this with your favorite search engine yourself.

While I think the idea is good to search everything before, I am not certain we need a closed source extension for if we could just add a search term to it manually. And this does not really solve searching the web with content after that date. Still need a better solution to this, especially if time goes on.

I don’t trust this company, as they hate Linux. Wouldn’t use their engine if I target Linux, as we don’t know how they will support it in the future. I am not against open sourcing it, that’s not my issue. In fact I applaud it. But can’t trust them. Anyone supporting this project will help making their games better, who do not give a shit about Linux support.

Is there any technical reason to use s&box engine over any other Open Source engine? I ask that from a gamer perspective and don’t know all the differences.

lol I just found my 7 year old post on Reddit (when Reddit was cool) of a Epig Games logo creation: https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/bvw5ru/epig_games/

I’m glad that Tim Sweeny and its Epig Games Store is not the market leader.

It was inevitable.

You can also open up random porn websites and see stuff that shouldn’t be on Steam. Also having it randomly in nature is one thing, appearing in a shocker / horror videogame with the context of children want to ride naked horses (which are human with mask) riding is another. It’s all about context.

I can judge a style and the art without playing the game. I just said how it looks to me. My earlier point was, if you make a game like that, you shouldn’t be surprised getting banned. And the creator does the best out of it and makes a scene of it. I would probably too, because it generates a lot of buzz and is free marketing. People who never had this in radar will either purchase or talk and make more marketing. So, I am not blaming him doing what he does right now.

I mean at one point in the trailer you see two real horses fucking (f*cked up literally). From what I see it’s not just horror, its about shocking. And I believe not every game should be on Steam. Where the line is, I don’t know.

I do not agree this being great horror.

The game looks extremely f*cked up too…

Ah crap. Since months I was thinking of adding more RAM. My current 32gb is sufficient and not low at all. But those stuck with 16gb need to wait longer now. The prices will come down, right? Right?

BTW there is also the package (Bash script) downgrade to do this job. It is in official EndevourOS repositories, but also in the AUR. And if you want do it manually, head over to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Downgrading_packages .

Instead installing older version that is either unsecure, or can cause dependency problems, I rather install Flatpak: https://flathub.org/en/apps/one.ablaze.floorp

It’s still not something most people are comfortable with. I am not a stranger to building PCs, so not talking for myself here. It would be much easier to replace controllers like on Switch or a regular game controller. Also being able to have a different buttons and layout configuration would be really cool for a PC handheld, as the system itself is very flexible.

As a secondary device to play games besides my big PC, yes. But lot of people have no other PC and the Steam Deck is the only device. Given that some games come at 100gb install size, and people want to install multiple games, 256gb can be low. I use internal space for Steam games and all stuff, and have an 512gb external card just for emulators and Roms.

It would make it more expensive and less durable. However being able to replace the controllers would definitely by nice, or even buy alternative builds with different buttons. But then, Valve couldn’t possibly hit the price with such an expensive luxurious feature.
