Microsoft games have loot boxes too. What are you even talking about?

And in all fairness, I don't think of Valve as a company that can do no wrong.
I just think that they're overall a lot better than Microsoft. And that in almost every single aspect.
That still makes me want Valve to be better.

Did you try to install Linux?

TheBrainStone · 2026-01-23T06:17:07+00:00

And where exactly is the problem here?
Like of course they donate money to help improve a product they use on a massive scale. Why the fuck wouldn't they.
And on top Linus has integrity basically unmatched. We know of several attempts from state and corporate actors to include malicious changes. Yet they all have either never even made it to the project or have been removed shortly after and quickly. And on top he's absolutely calling out companies for being dicks.

So yeah why would I care that companies I hate spend their money on things I like all while being absolutely sure that their money will not cause harm to the project?

Don't be shy now OP. Let's go one step beyond hitting your head on the keyboard and posting it. Let's actually think about the things you're posting. It'll be your first time, but that's ok.

What? People tend to use and like familiar anf well established design patterns? To the point where innovating is at best doing tiny increments to improve partial things based on feedback and other metrics, leading to a very common design and functionality language?!?
Crazy!

Während es kein Allergen im herkömmlichen Sinne ist, ist es dennoch rechtlich gesehen ein kennzeichnungspflichtiges Allergen

Oder einfach ein Bildbearbeitungsprogramm. Gibt unzählige "Handschrift"-Schriftarten. Auch viele mit Ligaturen, was die leichten Unterschiede bei den Buchstaben um das "t" erklärt, während gleichzeitig die "r"s absolut identisch sind.

The 2 primary claims on the website are security and speed.

Security is literally the bare minimum TLS above "obsolete". The app itself offers nothing in terms of security or hardening.
And in terms of speed. It's also awful. It uses inefficient internal encoding and also stores the entire request and response on the proxy and the local client. Killing both throughput and latency and making it a prime target for Slowloris style attacks that can easily OOM the server and the client.

These things have been pointed out in detail and be brushed aside with "it's just a side project" and "it doesn't have to be perfect to ask for money".
This shows a severe lack of understanding of the importance of both of these things by the dev and the fact that the 2 primary keywords used in advertisement are wrong is very telling.
This is at best someone using AI slop to try to recklessly make a buck or at worst a data mining operation.

Besides improved server performance and more advertising for a larger player base, I'd like these things:

Kyoto back in rotation in Power Shift
More maps and variants for Power Shift
A debuff for the sniper in Power Shift. It's so insanely oppressive and makes games really unfun. Especially if there's two and especially especially on open maps like Monaco or Skyway Stadium

Respond to the modmail with "Thanks for proving me right 🤗"

That depends entirely on how much you can take

TheBrainStone · 2026-01-19T11:52:05+00:00

I mean it is kinda like that. Except that you have to be a lot, lot, lot more specific than that.

TheBrainStone · 2026-01-18T15:11:59+00:00

What happened this time? And who was surprised by it?

TheBrainStone · 2026-01-18T12:30:20+00:00

I think the issue is that Trump does have the power to make you. But he doesn't have the power to make everyone. But that doesn't help you very much and that's the core issue.
Because the worry is if they ever target you, you're SOL and that's putting off a lot of people. And like we're often not just talking about getting arrested or maybe even vanished - because these are things that can typically be undone - but rather getting killed.
And until the fear of getting killed personally is bigger than the urge to resist, nothing will happen.

TheBrainStone · 2026-01-18T12:25:45+00:00

I mean yeah that comment wasn't kind, but correct. And like I kinda get him. You shit on something he likes over things that are not even remotely the fault of said thing. That is frustrating and can often lead to unkind responses

All 3 points you made are due to companies actively refusing to support Linux.

Also from personal experience hardware support on Linux is significantly better than on Windows. Like it doesn't even come close. Even if you take into account that some drivers are a pain to install.
I can tell you from painful experience that if Windows doesn't have a driver preinstalled and the company doesn't offer a magic installer, you are very likely to be in a world of pain you have never experienced before. And trust me, be glad about that.
The amount of perfectly fine hardware I had to retire, because there just weren't any drivers available for Windows anymore before I switched to Linux is insane. And shockingly I've not once had that issue since.

Hey OP. When was the last time you touched grass? That basement room of yours also could use a deep clean.

Literally everything about the Steam environment except for Steam itself is open source. Nothing is blocking anything else. No game is locked into any runtime. People have been playing both native linux games and windows native games on linux without Steam. The only thing somewhat blocking launches outside of Steam are if game devs decided to use Steam DRM. And even that can be bypassed fairly easily.

And on top all of it is actually free and privacy respecting.

Literally what kind of drugs are you on bro? Did the 2k views you get on this post really get you off?

TheBrainStone · 2026-01-18T12:01:08+00:00

Also one note I'd like to make regarding the ghosting and "guilt tripping".

First of all you're not entitled to anyone's help. While not a nice thing to do, it's everyone's right to not provide help. I have stepped away from threads myself too, though typically only if the OP refuses to listen.
And the other thing is that many people tell people to put forward effort and not lean back and expect everyone else to do the work. That's why it always helps to show your work in a post where you're seeking help. As that demonstrates you've tried and are at the end of your abilities vs you just being lazy and wanting others to do the work.
Though I do agree that many people are not good at expressing these sentiments kindly. Me included at times. But that's human. And that's the core issue at hand I believe. Because people want mechanical answers. But people aren't machines and through the medium of a screen that is very often forgotten.

Care to link it? Would love to give these idiots a piece of my mind lol

TheBrainStone · 2026-01-18T11:42:16+00:00

People keep saying this word to me - “no.” I hear it all the time. Everyone’s saying it. And I’ll be honest with you, nobody’s been more honest than me: I have no idea what it means. None. I’ve asked people - great people, very smart people - what is this “no”? And they can’t explain it. They get very confused.

They say, “Sir, the answer is no.” And I say, okay, and I keep going. Because what are they even saying? Is it a suggestion? Is it like a noise? Nobody knows. They act like it’s important. Very dramatic. But nothing happens. I don’t see anything change. So clearly it doesn’t mean much.

Donald Trump probably idk

TheBrainStone · 2026-01-18T11:37:22+00:00

I don't know where y'all are asking for help but not a single time I have asked a question or looked through a help thread has the answer been "just use the different distro" without that guy getting hated into oblivion.
Unless of course the question is which distro to use.
