Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Who remembers when you needed a separate "Download Manager" to handle concurrent downloads?English

Games@lemmy.world•‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefrontEnglish
174·11 days ago‘Steam Store Front’ should be shortened to ‘Stormfront’. At least then no one would be shocked when they discover it’s teeming with illiterate bigots.
All I can suggest is that you report and block as much as you can. If there’s a game, like Relooted, that’s a bug light for scumbags, go to its forums when you have 10 minutes free and just report the shitstains you come across. Steam does take action sometimes.

Games@lemmy.world•Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster gamesEnglish
10·12 days agoMy parents paid about that much for a SNES copy of Earthworm Jim back in the mid-90s. It was disgusting then and it’s disgusting now, despite the fact that, adjusted for inflation, that would be £140 today. I mean I don’t feel like we’re getting a 50% discount when a game costs 70 fuckin’ quid nowadays.
There’s really no reason to spend that anyway, not on PC at least. IsThereAnyDeal.com and the slightly questionable loaded.com (formerly cdkeys.com) give decent discounts even on day one (and Steam itself will eventually have it on sale, of course). Loaded isn’t like G2A, which is a credit card thief’s wonderland. It’s more like when your uncle Jim crosses the border with 40 cartons of cigarettes secreted in the wheel wells of his truck because they cost 400% less over there. I can live with that level of mischief when it comes to AAA games that take the absolute piss with their prices and their hostage DLCs. EA, Ubisoft and Rockstar have not caused me a millisecond of lost sleep when I get their games for £3 six months after release from a code that was originally bundled with a new GPU. With how extremely easy it is to pirate games (something I haven’t done in nearly 20 years), I don’t feel like those larger AAA companies are meeting us half way, to say the fucking least.

They could cover ‘Killing in the Name’ and not change a single lyric. They just need an aura of “and that’s fine, actually” which will be provided by their TRUMP 2024 flags.

17·19 days agoA genuinely, thoroughly reprehensible piece of human effluent. If she has kids they almost certainly hate her. Her lonely aged years will probably be the only consequence she faces for her despicable behaviour, but I guess it’s better than nothing.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is ironing clothes significantly less common now?English
6·9 days agoMany newer fabrics don’t require ironing, or not as much of it at least. Newer washing machines and driers, as well as newer fabric softeners and detergents, seem to play a role in the non-wrinkliness of clothing, too.
I rarely own anything that would require regular ironing these days. I tend to avoid buying clothing that looks like it would be a pain in the ass to keep wrinkle-free. I guess in our parents’ era there were no such choices available.
Plastic in clothing might have circumvented the need for ironing, but of course it has brought its own issues. Plastic might be an apocalyptic death substance, or it might actually be fine to have 5% of our bodyweight to be nylon. Not sure which yet.

There are tens of thousands of not millions of medications - both for humans and animals - but they always zero in on this fucking dewormer.

This is the sound of deep, deep, profound, deep insecurity chasing a man down a never-ending alleyway peppered with neon signs that say “Unattractive to Women?”, “Easily Bullied By Other Men?”, “GAY???”
I hope he does serious prison time for his crimes, because it will be extra enjoyable knowing that it’s literally the worst place he could ever find himself. No escaping one’s own mind in that place.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam MachineEnglish
20·26 days agoWe expected it to be more than that, actually. If it’s $700, that’s pretty good. It’s not a Switch. It’s a prebuilt gaming PC in a tiny form factor. Building a gaming PC today with the same horsepower would probably set you back a lot more than that, and you’ll also have a giant tower taking up space.
It’s not for me, but I can think of at least 3 people in my family who would get a lot of value out of it at that price point. No PC-building headaches, no researching every bit of hardware and comparing prices and performance, no tedious planning of the cooling layout, no thermal paste, no separate warranties and RMA headaches for every individual component, no Windows bullshit, not needing an entire corner of the room just for the tower, perfect for the living room, driver and software updates that apply to and work for every customer, I could go on. I don’t see any downside for the average gamer. Sure, if you’re an FPS penny pincher who simply has to OC and have the best of the best and latest hardware, it’ll not appeal to you. But that’s a minority of gamers.
$700 is a dream. $1,000 is reasonable in the current climate I guess, but pushing it a little. $1,500 would be unfortunate, but it really depends on what extra value the system comes with from Valve. I wanna know their RMA and warranty plans. If they’re anything north of “Kafkaesque”, which is how it is with virtually every other hardware manufacturer/reseller, the extra money might actually be worth it, for one’s mental health. If they send out a replacement unit before you have to return a defective one, for example, that would be enough to justify a little more cost, but that’s coming from someone with a long and storied history of nightmarish, abusive RMA practices. I’d suck a dog’s dirty dick to not have to go through that shit again.

How a PTSD-tormented vet hasn’t plugged this cunt yet is beyond me. He’s said at least a dozen things in the last 10 years that would justify it. I mean he let the fact that there were Russian bounties on US service members go completely unanswered. Nevermind the repugnant things he says about them, he lets them be the target of headhunting sociopaths because he’s too much of a fucking pussy to say a single word against Putin.
Signing up for military service under Trump is insane in the membrane.
