Nilz , to games in Bethesda Is Charging $7 For A New Starfield Mission, And Players Are Upset

Also remember Horse Armor DLC for Oblivion, released by Bethesda? Considered by many to be the catalyst of this kind of BS.

Nilz , to games in $843 million lawsuit against Valve already has its own website: "The Steam Claim" accuses the biggest store in PC gaming of "overcharging" players

Yes, the profit is excessive, but it’s because they have a good product where the competition has not really been putting in much effort and letting Valve get away with it for so long.

Valve’s goal isn’t to maximize profit because they don’t have shareholders that demand it. If they really wanted to maximize profits then there’s a whole lot more to squeeze out of Steam and the games they made. And yes I agree Valve can lower their cut and still make bucket loads of money, but I highly doubt that if they did reduce their cut it would actually lead to cheaper games except for a maybe a few. Because just like Valve, the devs and publishers are profit driven and why would they turn down a potentially bigger profit?

Steam didn’t get to where it is because of market abuse but because of providing a good service, or at least a service that was better than anything else at the time by far. Valve are reaping the rewards now, but are also still providing an arguably better service than it’s competitors. It’s a bit odd that you want to punish a company just for being successful.

Valve isn’t perfect and they’re profit driven, but they’re privately owned and the goals isn’t maximizing profit, which isn’t something you can say about most of their competitors.

Nilz , to linux in How can I fix this rotation issue?

I suppose xrandr can help you here: See the Arch wiki about xrandr

Nilz , to selfhosted in Should I use a rolling distro?

Which kernel do you use on Debian? IIRC support for Intel Arc was added in 6.0 or higher. I am using Proxmox (based on Debian) and I had to upgrade from 5.15 to 6.2 kernel to get hardware decoding to work. Have you checked the Jellyfin manual? It’s pretty elaborate on how to get Intel QSV working.

Nilz , to retrogaming in Anyone notice the PS1 and Dreamcast are designed similarly in a way?

It was never officially named PSX, but it was called that way by people for some reason. I guess to differentiate the fat and slim versions.

Nilz , to linux_gaming in Linux user share on Steam breaks 2% thanks to Steam Deck

Oops. Thanks autocorrect

Nilz , (edited ) to linux_gaming in Linux user share on Steam breaks 2% thanks to Steam Deck

That’s interesting. When you look at the steam survey results under OS Version, with Windows Mac and Linux combined it shows under Linux that Arch is in first followed by Ubuntu 22, but when you switch the view to Linux only, the OS Version shows SteamOS Holo in first, followed by Arch, then Flatpack runtime and Ubuntu. So yes you’re right.https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/af8117a8-99e9-4948-810b-9c0cf5c35419.webpThis shows why I thought SteamOS counted as Arch. My bad.

Steam Deck runs on Arch so it’s no surprise it’s up so high.

Edit: it doesn’t count as Arch. The Steam Survey results page has a bug where it doesn’t show SteamOS as top listing for Linux OS when combined Windows, Mac and Linux view is selected.

Nilz , to technology in Small modular nuclear reactors get a reality check in new report

To add to this: A certain type of Soviet submarine used a lead-bismuth alloy as coolant for their reactor. The coolant solidifies at ambient temperature so it had to be heated indefinitely by some way or another or else it solidified and trashed the reactor. I don’t think any of them exist anymore since Russia wasn’t able to afford sustaining the giant navy after the Soviet collapse.

Just goes to show how insane nuclear submarine engineering is, or was at some point.

Nilz , to technology in Windows 10 is EOL in October 2025

“Finally freed of those pesky Windows updates!”

Nilz , to selfhosted in EPYC for Desktop: It's finally here! (and cheap too)

Not officially. Only Ryzen Pro have official (unregistered) ECC support and not many motherboards support it either. AFAIK Threadripper doesn’t officially support it either but I could be wrong.

Nilz , to games in Trackmania 20th Anniversary: Desert Update Trailer

I guess that the devs needed to strike a balance between the old style and making sure it fits with the current style since I think you can combine tiles from all themes in a single map.
