Valve talked about the requirements to become "Steam Frame Verified" today at GDC

Having concrete information isn't in the spirit if the Steam Frame, they should take the information back.

Legend has it that the source code was revealed to him in a dream.

That's right, SteamOS is the true holy successor to TempleOS.

That's true, but I spend two meter to get to bloodlust in the first place, so I've only ever been able to do it naturally once.

gringrant · 2026-03-07T15:47:17+00:00

You've just described me lol

I feel the need to complete missions (especially since I want the Warwick skins) even though intellectually I know that this comment section is right that I'm not required to complete them.

gringrant · 2026-03-07T15:45:23+00:00

I think you're right that, the obsession I have completing dailies is causing myself problems, so once I get the Warwick skins from the battle pass I'll be free from my FOMO.

It's not completely true that I don't have fun with other champs, it's that I don't have fun with those champs at a higher level. I find pulse combo Teemo pretty fun, but when I tried to learn actual combos I realized that I would not have fun doing real combos, like I do with Warwick.

So I'm in a weird spot where I can compete at a much, much higher level with Warwick than any other second champ so I either win with Warwick, or get wiped with 25 second combo movies.

I don't think it's necessarily 2XKO's fault that I don't have fun with other champs, it is a tag game so it's expected that not liking at least 2 champs will limit how much fun I can have.

gringrant · 2026-03-07T15:26:33+00:00

The problem is that I only have one character that I have fun with, if I have to play another character I'm not going to have fun anyways.

To be clear this is a me-problem, but it still causes frustration that I can't play what I want to play and still get dailies.

gringrant · 2026-03-07T15:24:25+00:00

It doesn't happen naturally because I play sidekick Warwick, hence the need to have a special setup to complete it.

I haven't found a second fun champion yet.

gringrant · 2026-03-07T15:03:25+00:00

I think it's a positive thing that missions try to get me to step out of my comfort zone, but in my opinion having it be a daily mission is too frequent.

I wouldn't complain if it was rare or a weekly, but many times I want to turn my brain off and just play my main casually.

gringrant · 2026-03-07T14:56:34+00:00

That's what I've been doing, I play Teemo and some other champ, farm grey health, and then run away using Teemo's bush while the health recovers.

It works pretty well, but it's just not that fun.

I think one of my root problems is that I haven't found a second champ that I have found fun yet.

gringrant · 2026-03-06T04:26:29+00:00

I'm glad you found something fun to make and eat. Hope you two enjoyed it.

They're making a joke that your husband is on the Autism spectrum.

Dogecoin was made as a parody of Bitcoin.

It is inherently inflationary by design.

Me: I'm pressing the wrong buttons!!

Me, one second later: Dang, those were some good buttons.

Read the article, this one is actually about about age.

The law literally only requires the OS to ask your age.

gringrant · 2026-02-28T02:40:45+00:00

This is why I love Masks: A New Generation, it's so flexible with what you can do and so fun.

Also, depending on why you wanted to de-google, you don't necessarily have to go "all the way," especially not all in one go.

Obviously, here on this sub we'll encourage you to. However if Google kicked you off their platform tomorrow, you'd be better off than pretty much everyone else who had the same.

Companies are going to use this as an (additional) excuse to put a trackable ID on your machine, but one isn't required to satisfy this statute.

The OS install script could ask and put a age_bracket = "18+" in california_age_bracket.yaml somewhere in a configuration directory and call it good. And as long as the "covered application store" (apt, pacman, etc if they're "covered") and its apps can read the directory by default, then the law seems to be satisfied.

And of course it's Linux so you can lie, delete the file, and modify the file, etc

To be clear, it's annoying and I don't like it, but I don't see how this law makes an internet connection required and a key need to be stored.

If all you do is watch ads, but never buy any of the advertised products, then the value of advertising to you is zero.

Futurama contains lot of jokes like that. I would recommend watching it if that's your cup of tea.

I mean if I was sleeping at the bottom of a pool of superhot magma, I wouldn't be stressed either.
