They already did. We are the other universe.

Wouldn’t flatpak inherently be less likely to rip the system to shreds?

I do! Many of my favorites are indie games, I’d say more than not. But I guess there’s some things that you can’t do without a massive budget or many many years in development, because many nintendo core franchises just aren’t beat in quality in my opinion, at least for some entries.

I hope it has an accepter city trial mode

I’m going to try very hard not to be, but I’m definitely the type of person you’re describing. That Nintendo direct had me drooling at the new Mario kart and donkey Kong games, and nothing hits like a zelda. Super mario wonder was a delight.

I only hope I can emulate this system relatively quickly. I am not a man of strong willpower.

It’s not niche being a woman obviously. What’s niche is having a community exclude 50% of the population. Nothing wrong with it, but it is niche.

They do. The one near me has a whole menu that changes regularly, aside from a few permanent options. Some of the items can be very good.

It’s a whole cafeteria setup with trays and a line with workers dishing out different things. Then you pay at the end of the line.

Wait aren’t you in the foodporn community? Is this not the purpose, to post pictures of food that the OP finds delicious? Either you’re very lost or you misinterpreted the “porn” part of the community name and wanted the mashed potatoes to take their pants off.

Surely you don’t simply disagree that it’s delicious, because you’re blocking them. Even a downvote isn’t appropriate for a well framed and high quality photo of food that you personally don’t enjoy, but is enjoyed by many. In that case a user would simply not upvote. So that can’t be it.

Neither. Hopefully someone like wendigoon or oki’s weird stories. Someone a bit more investigative and less semsationalistic than nexpo.

I 100% agree. However, this statement is a very large blanket statement. I see it repeated all over the place. It’s great to pirate from greedy megacorps. I do it. It’s great. But it’s not a great statement to repeat ad nauseam because it doesn’t apply to

• small creators
• literally anything that’s not a “pay once license” (including leasing, renting, etc) If this sentiment gets too popular it will also discourage people from paying for unrevokable copies of content like from GOG or directly from a creator (patreon, etc). It’s more like “if buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t theft (sometimes)”

The people who argue against piracy of megacorporations’ content will bring up these points every time because this phrase makes no sense from their perspective. It prevents actual discussion from taking place. It’s not productive to our cause to use something so ambiguous and inflammatory as a catch phrase.

Yeah, I am just confused on the logic. Like what is the relation between us not owning it (which is bad) and piracy not being theft? I wholeheartedly agree that pirating things is okay if a license gets revoked, and it is 100% okay to pirate something you bought even if you still have the license and it hasn’t been revoked. It’s yours. You paid money for it. But from my understanding, this statement doesn’t just cover people who bought it, but everyone, regardless of if they bought it.

Do you feel the same way about, for example, a video rental store?

Chill with the downvotes - I’m not disagreeing. I’m just trying to understand where the line is.

I agree with the sentiment, but what exactly is the explanation for this? If you’re allowed to lease or rent or purchase a license, isn’t stealing that thing for free still theft?

Chill with the downvotes - I’m not disagreeing. I’m just trying to understand where the line is.

Or I can use Java for an active modpack development scene. Not sure it’s super active for luanti and voxelibre.

I’ve used both of those mods and they’re great. These days I use a pre-built modpack like “fabulously optimized” to update and include all the mods for me. (there are tons of similar packs like this). Those can still play on vanilla servers.

Avoid the “steam deck” modpacks, as many of them are abandoned or straight up don’t run at all. Stick to the very popular, well-tested packs if you do use a modpack at all. Even if they aren’t branded with some sort of “works on steam deck” note. They will probably still work.

And of course, +1 for prism. It’s the only recommendable option for steam deck or standard PC play these days.

He got mad at me and much of his community over concerns about decisions he was making for “block game”. We stated our concerns kindly and politely, and he got mad and deleted an entire discord channel because we didn’t agree with him and made good points that he couldn’t refute. I lost all respect for him after that.

Well I get the analogy, but also I think they didn’t use pencils because of the graphite and complications with filtering air or something.

Obsidian with self hosted live sync is what I switched to and found it’s actually better.

I’ve had the opposite experience. It all “just worked”. Try running unraid. It makes a lot of it so much easier.

Time to go to usenet.
