So how did these leaks come about? Well, according to the insider, there are various mentions of Half-Life in the files of other Valve games, including Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Deadlock. For example, a mention of HLX is included in Deadlock’s bug-reporter config files, which is similar to how Counter-Strike 2 was included in Dota 2’s bug-reporter files three years prior to its official unveiling. Likewise, Deadlock also includes references to the iconic HEV suit, gravity gun, and Xen creatures, the first of which has been renamed to the Burbank suit in the game’s files.

Uh huh. So this article is just a pile of bullshit.

So what? Movies like Pearl Harbor are also compared to other worldwide hits even though only the US (and probably Japan) have deep feelings about it.

Cyberpunk and Elden Ring were also hits in China, so I’m not sure this is relevant when comparing worldwide sales.

Did you start with Fallout 1 or 3?

Linux via Proton is effectively an emulation or translation layer,

Akshually, wine is not an emulator!

I’ll see myself out.

Nah, it has 100% - of the first season and until the shop refreshes.

And season passes. And a monthly subscription even for the base game.

I actually liked the movie better than the book. One of those rare examples.

In the long term it works quite a bit better as a valuation tool. Bubbles tend to not last very long.

We still have some Billy (wooden) shelves that are well into their second decade without anything more than some tiny scratches even after two moves.

You sound like you don’t have first hand experience with their products. They sure have lots of trash but there are some good products in their huge catalog.

At that price I believe the report doesn’t even exist and they plan on writing it once some idiot buys it.

MMORPGs for an example, attract them

According to the article: not really, the vast majority of them prefer single player.

What bugs me the most right now (and doesn’t quite get addressed in this article) is low performance standards.

I’d add low control standards. Since everything is a console port now, everything needs to be dumbed down to be playable by controller. That’s why we don’t see certain genres much any more (sims or RTS) and get shooters with included aim “aids” or cross-play wouldn’t be possible.

If that is your whole point, you didn’t approach it right as you can see with all the downvotes.

You seemingly argued against RAID which was invented for data availability and performance. While it’s true, that RAID alone is no backup solution, having just a single drive is more hassle when it fails, so running multiple drives in a RAID allows for better handling despite the higher probability of having to swap a drive.

Another point you did not consider: larger drives have more sectors that can fail. While I have no data for this, a 32 TB drive is unlikely to have the same rate of failure as a 16 TB one - the larger drive will be more likely to fail (not as likely as one of two drives failing though).

I’m claiming that these 32TB drives will reduce your risk of losing data than by raiding 2 16TB drives, given the same failure rate.

Assuming the probability of failure is the same, you’re right, running two drives doubles the risk of a drive failing.

However, if your single 32 TB drive fails, all data is gone and you have to rely on backup. If one of the 16 TB drives fails, you replace it and the RAID restores the data with much less hassle.

Both 16 TB drives failing at once is negligible (however, the RAID controller might).

It seems you never had a HDD die on you.

What’s “boomer shooter” supposed to mean? According to Wikipedia definitions, baby boomers were 29-47 years old when Doom was released - hardly the target audience.

Based on this article and the linked one it looks like the ex Nouveau maintainer Ben Skeggs (single-handedly?) fixes Nvidia Linux support?! A truly heroic deed of true.

Of course there is another choice: you can continue to not buy their crap regardless of what they do.
