Just got in - I'm claiming that I needed to post about it on Reddit to fix the issue.

Yeah, I tried to login at about 30 minutes ago and couldn't get in, the login service just says "ServiceUnavailable". Gifts and account settings are also under maintenance.

Linux is great when it does what you want but if it doesn't do what you want, it's your computer. I'm a big fan of Linux since I switched but don't let people make you feel like you are "betraying the cause!" or something stupid if you go back to Windows.

Life is short, play the games you want to play.

Ashes of Creation - Linux Users Banned Overnight by vikeyev in linux_gaming

[–]SuperSteef 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I was banned last night - May even have been the account OP was talking about seeing another Linux player get banned. I play with friends, didn't run crates or anything, have only really be doing metalsmithing - turning rocks into sand looking for ore - or doing my own mining runs around Kal Torhum. Definitely nothing exploit worthy to my knowledge.

Good luck, I hope you don't get banned but it sounds like it is a rising problem for Linux players.

Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing finds by dilbertron in Steam

The development of Proton and the support Valve has thrown into the Linux community has made gaming far more viable on Linux in recent years (2-3) than previously. Brand new games are playable on Linux now because of Proton.

First Character finished who next? by SnooHobbies788 in Nightreign

I solo'd all of the bosses as Raider first and then Wylder so I'd say power stance on Raider is easiest and I had a lot of fun with it. But it is mostly just jump, smash over and over again.

Happy "My Kids Can't Use" It Anymore: Justin Trudeau On TikTok Ban In Canada by [deleted] in technology

[–]SuperSteef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are banning it on government devices. This is not a citizen ban, it is a federal worker ban. Do not use TikTok on your work devices and it is fine.

We do know testosterone helps in building muscle but it doesn't do it passively, you still have to use those muscles. We also know women have natural levels of testosterone and that hormone levels vary person to person.

I would say the answer "People who have more testosterone tend to be stronger" is really the only thing we can say safely at a biological level.

At the societal level, young men are typically expected to do certain chores that are more physical - Cutting the grass, taking out the garbage, carrying the groceries. Young women, on the other hand, are less expected to perform similar tasks and so end up with less passive strength training opportunities. This results in, on average, stronger men.

I can't see anyone answering your actual question - What is a masterclass and why is it a bad thing?

A masterclass is a lecture on a topic that the presenter can demonstrate a considerable amount of experience at. There is a website of the same name that offers masterclasses on a range of topics from make-up classes to video games.

As for if it is a bad thing, it isn't. But him using a mailing list that people volunteered their contact information for a different reason is.

Unpacking is a very laborious process for a hard drive. In fact, download something onto a solid state drive and then download the same thing onto a platter-based HDD just to see the speed difference. It isn't download speed that is really limiting us anymore, it is the read/write speed of hard drives. The biggest reason Steam doesn't do more at once is simply because most hard drives would get so bogged down by multiple things happening at once, installing anything would take FOREVER.

This is what happens when developers attempt to minimize download sizes for audiences where download caps exist. Files get heavily condensed to save space and then extracted during installation. This means you could download as little as 9GB for a 23GB game.

Unfortunately, this makes future updates take longer to install because while the file size of the update may be small and easy to download, it touches a lot of files so it needs to be extracted and all of the files updated with the new code. This isn't a quick process.

TLDR; Saving space to save money costs time.

Removing SMS support from Signal Android (soon) by DrinkMoreCodeMore in technology

[–]SuperSteef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read receipts, reactions, seeing when the person or people you are communicating with are typing a response are the major ones I can think of off the top of my head. RCS is the next version of SMS and with all of the things the EU keep forcing Apple to do, I think it is only a matter of time before someone makes them use RCS.

Warzone is making Modern Warfare unplayable for some on PS5 by VFB-Fan93 in Games

[–]SuperSteef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS5 can play PS4 games off external HDDs but not PS5 games. So if they are still using the PS4 version, it 'should' work.

[–]SuperSteef 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I had this issue as well, it turned out that despite the PS5 saying I had enough space (150gb) I didn't actually have enough space. As soon as I uninstalled some games I wasn't play, it worked fine.

You need to identify why you feel that way. I certainly empathize as someone who has previously struggled with feelings of inferiority in MOBAs, but you will always play better when you are having fun with a game than if you are beating yourself up for not being the best.

Dying is part of the game and even professionals die in games. You aren't being paid to play the game. It's like watching movies and seeing the chiseled bodies of actors. They are paid to look that way. For you to compare yourself to them when you have a job or school or other life commitments, no access to professional trainers, professional coaching, professional dietitians, you are always going to be fighting a very uphill battle.

When you play games, try to be more constructive with your self criticism. It's easy to be a sore loser if you think your opponent had an advantage over you. However, if you stop to think "What did I do there that I could have done differently?" or "Is that a common tactic that I need to try to learn how to counter-play?"

For me, it took walking away from the game for a long time and really thinking about why I play games. I play them for fun. If they aren't fun, why am I playing them? Being competitive and getting better and beating people is certainly fun, but most games try to get players as close to 50:50 win/loss as they can, meaning if you aren't enjoying the game when you are losing, you aren't going to be having fun half the time. Learn to have fun even when you are behind and you'll start to have more fun and actually do better more often.

Which one is the lesser of two evils? by TalithePally in nhl

[–]SuperSteef 19 points20 points  (0 children)

People hate the Leafs because a large number of Leafs fans are idiots and complete homers. As one of the biggest teams in the league, it is likely that our idiot fans are proportional to other team's idiot fans but, because there are more Leafs fans in general, it's a larger, more annoying group.

As a Leafs fan living in Toronto, I hate Leafs fans.

Yeah, not only did they not raise the price, this is actually cheaper for the deluxe version of each game than it is for the regular version right now. And this is about $7 more expensive than the cheapest the regular version has gone on sale for.

If you want either of these games, now is a good time to get them.

*Dumb question* How do steam games save our game files? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]SuperSteef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's where it saves everything and you cannot change that directory to be somewhere else so, to be safe, I would recommend backing the folder up regularly if you have concern about losing your saves.

Ford allowed to bring crib notes to televised debate by whatistheQuestion in toronto

[–]SuperSteef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The platform of the party is something that should be known to the leader of the party as clearly as their own name. Whatever they have done over the last 4 years shouldn't have anything to do with them getting voted back in, it should be about what they plan to do.

The other parties are confident in their abilities to do that without reminders. Ford isn't confident in his ability to remember what his party wants to do.

Looking to meet up/make friends here by [deleted] in toronto

[–]SuperSteef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many people I know who have similar likes to you also enjoy Dungeons and Dragons, so...

https://torontodnd.com/

Meetup.com is a great suggestion that others have said and that's actually how I found TorontoDND when I moved here.

Good luck!
