    platformed

    That’s cutesy newspeak for they should be censored. And wanting to censor them is bigotry, as in “the fact of having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life”. The chuds should have been more loved by their mothers, they should have been exposed to culture so they don’t become racist assholes, sure. But really, I feel using mealymouthed therapyspeak to remove bigots from sight and pretend they don’t exist has been thoroughly attempted and the result is grifters ascend on a ladder of their frustrations to rearrange the society into a chaotic dystopia. Sorry, video games?

    bigoted reviews posted on games’ Steam pages, which can hugely affect sales for their developers; and Steam curators (self-appointed taste-makers on the platform) directing campaigns against games they perceive to lean left or pursue inclusion.

    This fucking shit again. Reviews affect sales? Well, good. You don’t get to carefully select a few most-read outlets who’ll give you the thumb up. Also, chud curators are “directing” only those who follow them. This argument is about a failing industry that’d like to control what can be said about their products. Make no mistake, Steam’s openness in this regard is, for me as a customer at least, added value.

    but everyone does seem to rave about it.

    It’s Arch, CachyOS’ added value is just the installer you use to jump into its rolling release. I use CachyOS with Plasma desktop, it’s rock solid and intuitive and powerful, UI seems like a careful improvement of Windows tropes, very intuitive shortcuts for tiling and such, powerful ancillary tools like screenshotter and clipboard, excellent and fast file explorer that respects your choices and time… On a Thinkpad with Ryzen, everything works, down to reasonable touchpad default settings, fingerprint reader, bluetooth, sleep and hibernation.
