That wasn’t really clear to me from your comments, so I wasn’t sure if you’ve actually tried.

Eh, you haven’t met me then. The only difference is that I have a pretty good guess on how each particular bug happened.

That doesn’t really matter, it’s optimised to run everything. Sure, it might not work and in that case you’re not likely to get help if it’s not on Steam, but chances it will run are pretty high.

You can run non-Steam games through Proton as well. Or was it a game that doesn’t work with Proton?

Last time I tried it I failed, so I decided Proton is more than enough.

TIL, thanks for the info!

Where should they learn this if everyone was like you?

You can use virtual machine if you manage to set up direct GPU passthrough.

That’s the best part: You don’t! That’s pretty much the reason I stopped pirating PC games.

Why gatekeep? If it helps a single user, it’s a worthy post.

Well, if it’s not something I really want to see, I just close it. If I do want to see it, then:

• if I’m on my laptop, I open dev tools and remove the element blocking other interaction
• if I’m on my phone or the above doesn’t work on laptop, I open an anonymous window, disable adblock, read/watch/whatever the content, enable adblock, close anonymous window

I do and same for other kinds of annoyances, like the recent trend of “pay us or give us consent to mine your data”.

Yeah, I remember that Black Mirror episode.

Fucking finally.

Any chance you could me know if you do?

Kingdom: Two Crowns, the Call of Olympus DLC. Also the first game of 2025 we played, we only took a small break at midnight.

I was really looking forward to Surface Duo 2 when they announced it, it looked so well. Then they released and I read the specs of that phone and decided that I’d pass. It was an overpriced phone with shitty specs.

Hell yeah, 2025 it is.

Depends on your definition of scale, because in absolute numbers I think Y2K38 wins, even though it might be a lower percentage.

I think the main issue is not the services that are updated at least once a year, but those that run forgotten somewhere with a sticker “here be dragons” on the case.

Regardless of how many are affected, it’s gonna be fun for sure! Can’t wait for some public government and ad company screens to inevitably show certificate errors.

I don’t know how many people have used an int to store time, but I can guarantee you it’s more than you’d expect. And then there are various interpreted languages which often depend on the build environment. For example php’s int is based on the architecture, meaning it’s 2147483647 on 32bits.

And let me remind you how Gangnam style broke YouTube’s view count by having more than 2147483647 views. Even if it might have been reasonable back than to use a 32 bit int, it should have been unsigned.

Shit will go wild in 2038. Nothing apocalypse level, but a lot of things will break. Much more than during Y2K because there’s simply many more computers now.

Who needs the commoners when AI and algorithms can simulate them.

Being rich doesn’t exist in a vacuum but only in relation to other people, meaning if only billionaires survive, they’re not rich anymore. They need the poor majority.
