Thanks for the reminder to update

The trick is to not consider meta products to be a viable option. What you are left with is the actual playing field.

Sure, but, what does that have to do with the AI answer? Wait… Are you an AI?

I see. That’s not what “security by obscurity” means in my world, but the expression certainly sounds like it could. It’s not like I own the meaning of words, so it’s interesting to hear what it means to others. Could also have been meant figuratively, I suppose.

In what way does “security by obscurity” apply here?

I was.

Maybe this was an intentional leak. Now the Nintendo lawyers can claim they’ve used stolen proprietary code?

I suppose. If you are doing things against TOS and you suspect just might happen, by all means.

The license is with regards to “GOG Service”, not “GOG Contents”. You need the former to get access to the latter, sure. But what isn’t clear about this?

You still own the contents (though, as mentioned, individual titles may have additional blablabla). If you don’t think this distinction makes sense when it comes to GoG vs Steam, then maybe you’re just discussing something entirely different?

That’s for the gog service itself.

What do you mean? Native Linux isn’t that relevant these days. Most games run well through Proton, and some even better than on Windows. Judging by the protondb entry, you wouldn’t notice on Linux that this was a windows game: https://www.protondb.com/app/2142790

Which is why I buy games on GoG whenever it’s an option.

There are so many good games being made these days. I don’t understand why people still reward bad practices.

Isn’t it called “rogue-like” because that last part of metaprogress was not in rogue? Maybe I’m confusing it with roguelite.

Last I checked, Linux users also use phones.

I’ve used both PS4 and Ps5 controllers. You don’t need to do anything except to plug it in.

I’ve only had issues in one game (Minishoot Adventures), where the solution was to disable controller support layer that steam comes with.

I haven’t tried Bluetooth, as I don’t mind the cable.

objectively a worse approach in every single way

Subjectively, you mean

Nope. Better UX design by every single metric. I hope you don’t have a say in anything related to UX design. Cheers dude.

What’s the spr - key?

You mention:

• spr + shift + s, click and drag, release

And say its annoying compared to

• Shift + PRTSCR, click and drag, release, Enter

Which seem to me like the same number of keypresses. In my case, it’s one less. The only main difference is the order of that one enter-key being afterwards. And, by using that key as a confirmation-step, you get a whole bunch of extra functionality that you say you don’t use. Which, if you don’t use it, will still give you the exact same functionality, and doesn’t affect you.

Consider if you ever need to repeat the screen grab 10x times, the difference is:

• Your preferred approach: 10 x (3 key press + click drag release). In total 30 keys, 10 mouse selections.
• On my system: 1 key + click drag release + 1 key, 9 x 2 keypress. In total 20 keys, 1 mouse selection.

I find it fascinating to care so strongly for something that is objectively a worse approach in every single way, with the only difference being the ordering of one keypress. And to care so strongly about that one keypress, that the optional versatility that gives (toggle video recording, adjust rectangle, reuse rectangle, move rectangle with same dimensions) is all in all considered a worse alternative. To each their own, and UX design is arguably not yours.

There’s no perfect replacement for the Snip tool. I want to just spr+shift+s, click/drag a box, and done. So far the closest I’ve gotten is shift+prntscrn, click/drag, enter, which is more annoying by far.

It’s the same number of keypresses (or in my case, one less), and you have additional functionality that doesn’t get in the way. I’m curious how “more annoying by far” to click-drag-enter vs click-drag.

You can readjust the selection, you can record video instead… Etc. Only difference is one keypress.

Fascinating.
