A 10usd Chinese knockoff Bluetooth controller works well enough for multi-player. The true little brother experience is to play with the shitty controller.

For the steam deck, you’d have to buy 2 controllers (potentially both shitty), so the benefit for the switch is still there.

From my 12y old kids perspective:

The switch 2 plays fortnite and Mario kart. The steamdeck doesn’t.

There is no difficult choice for him.

He doesn’t give a fuck about anything else. Neither do his friends.

Can you give me an example of an actual modern and good FOSS game?

Tesla has a ceo that is arguably evil, his companies flaunt labour laws and he is actively trying to make the world a worse place through multiple means.

The HP writer makes mean tweets and complains women use her bathroom.

Both are bad people, but not even remotely at the same level.

If it’s a one time payment and it works well enough, chances are big I’ll get it.

If it’s a subscription, I wish you the very best, but it won’t be for me.

Unfortunately the explanation seems to point towards the latter :(

Fair enough :)

I’ll give you the csgo gambling. That is fucked up.

But their refund policy is best in class. I don’t care how they got there, it’s better than shops give me for actual physical games…

I’d love to see what you consider an alternative better storefront.

Elaborate?

It’s easy to just spout generic steam hate, but I’d love to hear what steam does worse than other pc storefronts.

To be honest, books are the only form of media I don’t pirate. They deserve my money. Sucks that I have to use big shops to get them digital, but it’s so easy…

After some more thinking, I guess the original piracy has to come from somewhere :)

Genuine question : why not just download a pirated version of the book then? Seems like a huge hassle for the same end result

Being overly Paranoia? Can’t think of another valid reason.

I use Linux and windows. Windows is so much simpler for 99% of ppl that grew up with it.

I love your optimism. But if even a single digit percentage of them migrates to Linux, that would be mind boggling.

I use a seedbox abroad and secure ssh to transfer stuff to my own server. Don’t see what additional security a vpn would give me.

Ah, true. My bad.

You do you mate.

Several months and the 8 minutes probably lead to confusion. You haven’t my answer yet. Why do you speak like an orc in third person?

Why do you write like an orc? Is there an rpg reason for this? Or is this something personal I am totally missing?

“I” is gender neutral no?

As for your actual question, steam is insanely flexible with refunds, but you’re pushing it with a request 7.5months after the generous 14days.

Gog support sucks tbh. Steam refunds everything no questions asked. Bought elden ring on gog, wrong region, couldn’t activate it back home. They told me to suck it. Fuck gog
