Give them easy access to .exe games??? They should have to put in the effort to slack off during class.

Back when I was in high school I remember hearing about other students that would store games on certain teachers shared folders on the network. I can’t remember if the school ever caught on to that.

For a phone app, I use boost. There are ads, but they are FAR less intrusive than most mainstream apps.

DOGE is an official part of the government, so unfortunately he is.

Several individuals on that sub were making death threats towards individuals in government. The mods either supported or ignored them, so a temp ban needed to be put in place.

At least Capcom eventually removes denuvo from their games. I’ll probably wait until that happens to play Wilds.

Same for me. Denvo killed me enjoyment of monster hunter world. Locked me out of the game when I tried playing it after a long break from the game. Being told I have to wait 24 hours before attempting to play a game I paid for was a quick way to get me to not want to buy any denuvo game.

Thank you for reminding me why I stopped using the reddit app. Almost considered re-downloading it.

Join the free side. We have penguins.

I’m fine with content being vaulted to make room for new content. What I have an issue with is when the new content isn’t even half of the quality of what they removed. I quit playing shortly after menagerie was removed for exactly that reason.

Steam does have a monopoly though. They don’t do anything anti-competitive with it, so there is not much Epic can do about it (other than make their platform better for the people using it).

Google decided that the entirety of reddit is perfect for training data in their AI LLM. People’s shitposts from 10 years ago have now been given the spotlight at the top of google searches.

I saw a Ocarina of Time one a while back. There is also some tool that can link randomizers of different games togther.

I wasn’t referring to games being shut down. I was referring to how denuvo stops you from playing the game if it has issues phoning home for whatever reason. My hatred for denuvo began when it locked me out of monster hunter for 24 hours the one time I wanted to come back to playing it.

I wonder if they would still hold that opinion if they were locked out of a game they paid $70 for, while the ones that got it for “free” can play it without any restrictions. Piracy is just as much a service issue as it is a money issue.

Same here. I have yet to experience any issues on firefox+ublock, newpipe, or revanced.

No, it does not access your account at all and stores subscribed channels locally within the app. But there might be a way to transfer your subscriptions over if you can find a way to export them from your youtube account.

HotS is the only MOBA I actually enjoyed playing.

There is a whole list of drm-free games that will work without the launcher or with instructions on how to make them run without the launcher. If a game makes use of Steam’s APIs, it won’t run without proper authentication when opened with the launcher even if it is drm-free. You would need to launch it directly from the game’s files in that case.

There are examples of subtle difficulty shifts too, such as RE4. The game will spawn more/less enemies and change drop rates based on player performance.
