Firipu@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Valve's DRM was inspired by an exec's nephew, who 'used a $500 check I'd sent him for school expenses and bought himself a CD-ROM replicator… he sent me a lovely thank you note'English7·3 months agoTo be honest, selling copied games also paid for my games, my CD writer and then some when I was 14-15. Took ages to copy a single CD, and it would regularly fail, but friends happily paid me 10 euro for a working copy of the latest fifa.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Nearly half of Steam's users are still using Windows 10, with end of life fast approachingEnglish111·4 months agoI 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.

GN turned around and just continued slinging dirt. Just feels weird to me.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition Review & Benchmarks: Gaming, Thermals, & Power [ch: Gamers Nexus, t: 40:02]4·5 months agoA whole lot of shit slinging at LTT for no real reason. At when LTT rebuked the claims and suggested to stop doing so and work together in the future, GN just decided to double down and continue.
A bunch of childish stupid drama tbh, but very one-sided.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition Review & Benchmarks: Gaming, Thermals, & Power [ch: Gamers Nexus, t: 40:02]9·5 months agoTo be honest, GN is not worth your viewing time anymore. He’s just trying to stir drama on tech YouTube for the sake of starting drama…
He got multiple olive branches offered to stop the drama and he just threw them on top of the fire. He’s being a manchild for no reason.
Cheers. Rom hacks are like indie gaming lite. Some of them are great fun.

Firipu@startrek.websiteto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•How to get a refund for Planescape Torment on Steam?81·8 months agoSeveral 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?
Firipu@startrek.websiteto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•How to get a refund for Planescape Torment on Steam?101·8 months agoWhy 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.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•The most promising Disco Elysium successor studio says workers must unite to topple Valve's 'digital fiefdom' of Steam142·8 months agoGog 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
Is there a single good article on Forbes? It’s always fucking clickbait without actual content.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•Vivaldi polishes its browser, adds a dashboard • The Register3·8 months agoYeah, as long as Firefox (or a fork) doesn’t have native gestures, I can’t fulltime swap to it. Gestures addons are not the same. Anyone that used vivaldi (or opera) for any serious length of time knows what I mean.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•Why EU leaders should get off Musk's X4·10 months agoI work for a large eu government agency. Why the hell they still insist that we promote our workings on Twitter completely eludes me. It does not make any sense whatsoever. They should get off and stop promoting that cesspool. Go to any of the myriad of competitors or just go back to Facebook and Instagram…
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.4·1 year agoHaven’t seen a queue in ages tbh. Weak argument, not to mention that it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.5·1 year agoPay 2 win? Where? Genuine question. Played it for 40h after launch, never once felt like paying money?
Firipu@startrek.websiteto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•What game do you find so addicting that you can't even have it installed without neglecting life's responsibilities?1·1 year agoFuck… New rimworld expansion about to drop…
Firipu@startrek.websiteto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•What game do you find so addicting that you can't even have it installed without neglecting life's responsibilities?6·1 year agoWorld of warcraft and rimworld.
Rimworld fortunately can be paused, so causes less family stress.
Not sure why I keep playing wow, have played it on and off since launch and have enjoyed it, even with all it’s flaws. Get sucked in for a few really intensive weeks after every major patch… My wife hates the game with an absolute passion.
Can you give me an example of an actual modern and good FOSS game?
