Gordon invents time travel by crowbarring a combine thing.

Sorted that plot hole out pronto.

Also befriending a drugged up DARPA dolphin will be a massive boon too.

BOTTOM TEXT

When I was a kid, I was really into driving games, started off with Mario Kart and Stunt Race FX on the SNES, later moved onto F1 World Grand Prix on the N64, for which I had one of these bad boys.

You put your legs either side of the wheel to hold it in place. It wasn’t very good at all if I’m being honest. Even at the time, 9 year old me thought it wasn’t great.

So during covid, I saw that V3 pictured above being sold on facebook marketplace for 20chf (swissbux), and thought I could do better. Started off with a Logitech G29 and ended up with this:

Yes, cable management is not great, but I’m in a relatively small apartment, so gotta wedge it in a corner, but it’s my corner, the Corner of Speed

That is fair, Dota 2 is cosmetic only. TF2 on the other hand, is selling items with stats, mostly sidegrades rather than upgrades, but they do play into a certain kind of play, which does make it a de facto upgrade if your style of play matches the items use case.

Epic Games Store, Gog, UPlay (or whatever ubisoft’s is called), Origin/EA Downloader have all not done this and yet they’re not controlled by Gabe Newell.

Fact is that steam, no one else, started the road down the licensing and not ownership of games path we are firmly on with regards to PC.

Most PC’s don’t even have a disc drive any more, it’s all downloads.

And Gog is the only one that still allows ownership and not licensing of software.

So yeah, you do know nothing at all.

You’re still playing proprietary games on your FOSS OS. Furthermore, the vast majority of people don’t care.

If it matters to you personally, I get that. But linux gaming is personally DOA for me as it still doesn’t support my simracing hardware.

You’re simping for a shop. The PC Shop wars have managed to be even more pathetic than the console wars.

I have Steam, Epic Games Store, GoG Galaxy, Battle.net, XBox, Ubisoft and EA’s thing installed and they all miraculously work since I’m on PC and it’s not a locked down consoles. I get to play games that aren’t on steam!

Stop locking your PC down, it’s not a console.

shareholders…owners… who cares about the vernacular.

Turns out, quite a few people when those words are describing very different things.

I just hope to christ Gabe Newell’s successor(s) are in line with his actions.

This is how I know that you don’t know much at all. GabeN has changed valve from being a game developer making amazing things like Half Life and Team Fortress 2, to microtransactions and no games. A continuation of what Gabe is doing is pretty much in line with the rest of the industry, except NBA 2k4 would be the last one and it would have microtransaction DLC for the next 15 years.

No they don’t, and you can totally set up a company without shareholders. LLCs have no shareholders for instance.

Sorry.

I’d like to interject. What you’re calling your GNU mug is actually GNU/Mug, or as I prefer; GNU + Mug… [insert rest of copypasta]

Counter-counterpoint: He did eat something off his foot in front of an audience.

This is all well and good, but what of all those MMORPGs that got shut down?

The Crew is a bizarre game to do this kinda treatment for, since the sequel is very similar to the first, less terrible crime syndicate story, more planes and other nonsense. It’s also pretty middling, car handling is really weird, and the lack of rear view mirrors looks pretty weird nowadays.

I’m guessing it’s car licensing that’s causing the shutdown. It’s what happened to Forza Horizon 1 and 2. If that is the case, this game isn’t going to get open sourced ever. Also: why didn’t this guy go after Microsoft to make them playable again?

Dragons have 4 legs and 2 separate wings, none of this wyvern shit.

Weird thing to say, but this game has the best muddy paths in games.
