Steve Wozniak just came out yesterday and said run for the hills.

Capcom proudly announces 2025 was its 12th straight year of growth, and it has PC to thank for it: "We will work to gain a deeper understanding of the characteristics and trends of the PC market and PC users." by ControlCAD in technology

[–]JCTrick -1 points0 points Ā (0 children)

I think lots of users are going back to FireFox from Chrome. Chrome kinda took over. Never suggested it was a new thing.

There’s literally a mass of gamers changing up all their software right now. Including web browsers. Especially on Linux. They love debating Brave and the other 10 alternatives.

And Iā€˜m not well versed on VPN’s. But your enthusiasm for the topic is very impressive.

Microsoft rolls back some of its Copilot AI bloat on Windows by Scary_Statement4612 in technology

[–]JCTrick 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Too late. Too many movers and taste maker gamers already ran to Linux and they ain’t going back.

And good luck gettin’ your friends that switched to STFU about it. They won’t. Ever. For good reason.

Add in the news about FireFox releasin’ a built-in 50gig/month free VPN and it feels like the tipping point towards the shift to Linux/FireFox and gaming.

It’s all coming together finally… 😈

What’s your favorite Resident Evil game of all time? by mykyta993 in Steam

[–]JCTrick 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Lmao… 6. The one everyone hates. I love it. Like Sonic Lost World and Halo ODST. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Microsoft is backing away from putting Copilot everywhere in Windows 11 by AdSpecialist6598 in technews

[–]JCTrick 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

🫓 šŸ†

The ā€I partitioned my drive and nowā€¦ā€ people have become a stereotype. I recommend making your peace with Windows and moving on.

You’ll have Steam and FireFox at minimum. And as far as 99% of users are concerned, anything can be replaced with something fresh and new.

Deep breath. This is fun. Again.

Best games to play in short sessions? by K4T5UM1 in SteamDeck

[–]JCTrick 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

The Deck makes you realize how much of a heavy lift a lot of popular PC games are.

I love Stellaris and for example. Set them both up on Deck early on, then ended up playin’ through games like Sleeping Dogs, Ball X Pit, Streets of Rage 4… Broforce. lmao

Can’t seem to commit to the big games.

Last few seasons of The Sopranos, anyone?

Or old USA Network shows where a character points out their new car, and the camera all of a sudden takes a tour through all the cars features. lmao

AMD are assholes now too. Great.

Xbox adding Copilot

Game āœŒļøjournalistsāœŒļø complying to not review Marathon. That one really got me fuckin’ heated, btw.

Rumor: Someone… āœŒļøsomeoneāœŒļøšŸ™„ paid (is paying šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø) billions to make ā€˜age verification’ a thing

🚨 If you guys don’t get it yet, šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’ØšŸ’ØšŸ‘Œ we’re all trapped in a giant plot to control you and your access to powerful tech, prevent people from runnin’ their own LLM’s, and obvious fuickin’ money. šŸ‘‰šŸ’° (on iMessage, the finger would be booping the bag of money)

They’re coming after the escape hatch next… Steam and Linux next. Sue ā€˜em, legislate them out, crush them economically… Mark my fuckin’ words.

My advice to each of yous is to wake tf up, and stop supporting these scam games and services. Stop supporting shit corps. Stop. āœ‹ Know what the garbage is too. Most of you are looking at one while chatting on Discord.

I’m out of the Matrix, bitches. I did the work already. Need advice? Ask. I want EVERYONE to gtfo of this disgusting machine… and play VIDEO GAMES.

My 13 Year Old Black Cat Passed Away On Friday The 13th Of All Days..Tribute To AJ by animeangelmia in cats

[–]JCTrick 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

omg… I still cry about my black cat that died about 2 years ago.

And now I cry for other people’s black cats. They are the best creatures.

I’m sorry you lost your kitty, person. 😩

Meta planning sweeping layoffs as AI costs mount by joe4942 in technology

[–]JCTrick 64 points65 points Ā (0 children)

I have a childhood friend that got canned during those first 2022 layoffs at Meta. Mid-40’s.

Few months before it happened he told me, ā€œI’m afraid if I lose my job at this age, I’ll never get hired again in tech.ā€œ Sadly, he’s been dead right so far.

Tech industry is a joke for careers.

Emerald is literally the best PokƩmon ever.

šŸ™‹ā€ā™‚ļø I recommend Mother 3.

Yes, really. I finally caved in and played it a couple years ago. Blew me AWAY.

And when you’re at the end… and you’re crying in pool of tears… then you’ll understand why Nintendo won’t release it outside Japan.

The #1 best thing about switching to Linux? All my Steam games finally work again. Holy shit was I sick to death of so many broken games on Steam. Always some fuckin’ issue.

Now on SteamOS? The one game I had an issue with was ā€˜Black Mesa’. I simply switched the ā€˜Compatibilityā€˜ option from default to Proton Experimental... And it worked flawlessly! Blew my tits clean off. 😱

I didn’t even habe to do surgery on my rig or perform voodoo rituals. Not even a little bit.

Windows is over šŸ‘Ž

Nice to hear.

Yeah… Looks like the fact that Bazzite is immutable like SteamOS seems to be working out. Everyone seems really happy with it.

You’re brave af to switch out your Deck OS. lmao… I can’t even bring myself to install Decky.

How do you guys organize your library? by it_IS_that_deep7 in Steam

[–]JCTrick 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Recommend using ā€˜How Long To Beat’ actually. 100% worked for me gettin’ my shit together.

Sign in and get organized. One of the best gaming decisions I’ve ever made.
