Problems with epic games store:



2. tim sweeney is a whiny little bitch crying about windoze, depsite the entire lower half of his body (40%) being owned by tencent/CPC, then thinks the best way for him to correct things is to make another walled garden. to quote the top minds of ree: "stem people are probably stupider than most liberal arts students. go read a book, like the the one about the most shocking and controversial wars by Hobbes".

And all the people crying about it not being on Steam aren't manchildren? come on now

"No steam, no sale" absolutely pathetic

It's not even like you have to buy another system LMAO

Found the person who has UPlay installed.   ;)

Hey, I have Uplay installed for Assassin's Creed and Tom Clancy's The Division/Splinter Cell!

There's dozens of us! Dozens!!!

Problems with epic games store:

Being fair: That's justified. See: Windows 10 S-mode.

However, instead of Epic helping Gabe and crew with Proton, they decide to do a shitty store-front for their Chinese masters (probably fuel'd by SteamSpy being gimped by Valve because publishers didn't like having "70% accurate sales-data", because like NPD we can't let consumers see how badly shit like Battlefield bombed/not bombed!).

If Epic and Valve actually fucking worked together to get Linux gaming to not be shit, I'd be thrilled because at least then Microsoft would have to fucking worry about their OS being shit. But right now only Valve is the one trying to make that shit possible, to where Sweeney will bitch bitch bitch but show nothing from that bitching.

Ergo: Fuck Epic's game store and fuck Epic. They've been dead since the mid-90's when they dropped "Megagames" from their fucking name.

Also 21337 find me the SteamGAF discord because fuck making an *autistic screeching* account just for that discord so I can actually have SteamGAF back.

It's perfectly reasonable for large platforms to be suspect of Microsoft and Windows. I applaud Valve's continued effort to support Steam on Linux, and promoting developers to use cross-platform compatible technologies. With the movement away from DirectX to Vulkan it will be far easier to support all relevant platforms (MacOS users are not people) at launch. Unfortunately despite Tim's anti-Microsoft stance, the Epic Game Store will not be supporting Linux. This is a step back as Metro Last Light supported GNU/Loonix, and now Metro Exodus won't even have the option of supporting Richard Stallman's GNU+Loonix.

Ultimately the inconvenience of fracturing game stores promotes piracy, which is perfectly fine from my perspective. Install Gentoo.

I try to avoid Steam as much as i can tbh, though they make it real hard sometimes.
I prefer GOG, because i don't want to have to phone the president every time i want to play offline, or share my library with family/friend.

That said, also fuck all these tiny companies thinking they need their own launcher.
I mean R* releases a game every 8 years (and on PC, double that time frame), do they really need their own fucking thing?

Here's why that Metro thing is bullshit;

imagine you have a new album from a band you like on preorder, and its been pimped on wherever you usually buy music from for a fucking year now, lets say Amazon, and you like buying your shit on amazon because you get autoplay MP3s, you got your prime membership already, you got some store credit you can use to pay it off, you use a Fire TV stick and it works well with your Amazon music library, whatever.

Now fucking Tidal show up 2 weeks before release and announce they've locked that shit down as a Tidal exclusive for a year, and the only fucking way to listen to that new album is by installing Tidal, you can't add it to your existing library or use your preferred MP3 player, because Tidal did a backroom deal to lock that shit up exclusively to try and get people using Tidal, because nobody gives a fuck about Tidal.
And its not the band who wanted that deal, or the record label who wanted that deal - it was the bands manager, because they got a personal kickback to do that deal. The Label and the band both want their shit available as widely as possible.

There's your fucking epic game store console morans

Its an album ill pick up on deep discount in a years time, and I'll say Tidal are being dicks here, but I'm not gonna cry about it.
I'm also not gonna shed any tears when a bunch of people do just torrent that album instead of buying it.

Because there's plenty of music available that doesn't need me to install Tidal

Yeah I love on how the first page alone half of the posts are shitposts giving side-eye to the person that actually does what is sensible instead of spending all their free cash on shit like Amiibos.

I especially like the guy complaining how $14/hour isn't enough to pay his bills.  My Filipino relatives whose idea of a big night out is going to Jollibee and then having bootleg sodas in plastic bags would probably get a good laugh from that.

I think a lot of it is the phrase "Living as I've become accustomed to", where if you talk to someone who regularly spunks cash up the wall and has little impulse control so will buy something immediately on credit rather than save up for something they'll freak out like you're asking them to live under house arrest at the idea of any sacrifice to 'their lifestyle'.
When the brutal truth is if your outgoing expenses equals your income, you're already living a lifestyle you can't afford.

Those are kind of iffy figures but probably a lot of the "poor" people on REEE are bitching about it while they're basically pissing away $7500+ per year.

So basically they believe that a cis straight man and a cis gay woman have identical brains, and any difference in behaviour is purely cultural.

When nazis are stalking POC, my gut tells me we should be stalking the nazis. Mercilessly. This is off-the-cuff and possibly naive, but think it should be POC leading the charge and if white folks want to be a part of it, they can be invited.

thass what I'm saying. I never heard that narrative until this article debunking it came out.
this is why we need everything actively and constantly debunked before anyone accidentally believes it

also the debunking needs to be extensively debunked

re: bundy

every serial killer is called a mastermind after they're caught because nobody likes to believe that they got away with it for so long, and after the fact it's pretty easy to put together evidence because you have the connecting piece

the Green River Killer was thought to be some brilliant scheming mastermind or riotious' dad until they realized nobody really gives a shit about druggie prostitutes so a bunch of them turning up dead doesn't actually bother anyone to investigate it too closely as long as the dude simply moves a couple miles every time he kills one of them, almost entirely randomized rather than a scheme

terrorist attacks, school shooters, etc. these always after the fact have "we should have seen the signs" because everything is now known

9/11 was a mastermind scheme until everyone realized it wasn't, it was a failure of (to pick one) the FBI HQ not caring about a bunch of Saudi's who are learning to fly planes but don't care about the landing part no matter how often agents in the field screamed about it for a year straight

the Unabomber went uncaptured for decades, and they had hundreds of false leads, until HIS BROTHER said HEY THAT CRAZY MANIFESTO LOOKS LIKE MY BROTHERS CRAZY MANIFESTO

then there's stuff like the Atlanta Olympics bombing, where it took the guy to start a separate bombing campaign against abortionists and lesbian bars before anyone figured out it was obviously him, this was despite the fact he called the police before the bombing and said "I PUT A BOMB AT THE OLYMPICS" and it still took seven more years for them to catch him because the dude camped in a forest

Why would they ban Marx when he's totally harmless? What's funny is that lots of Mao's writing is pretty much banned in China.

Chicago police say detectives have reviewed hundreds of hours of surveillance footage but haven’t found any yet that shows the alleged attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett.
Clickbait headline when they've only been investigating for a day. Not surprisingly the comments are trash.

 :confused

How is that clickbait? Its a high profile case so presumably has more than one person working it, and even when CCTV tapes were actually tapes they didn't sit down and watch them in realtime but scrubbed through at high speed because shots of completely deserted streets are unlikely to yield anything of evidentiary interest. Nowadays its all on computer and high speed scrubbing is easier than ever.

Yo.

Wtf is this latest trend of AP's twitter people being gutter trash, and carelessly pushing damaging narratives?

First it was the "it takes two to tango" bullshit about the shutdown, and now this crazy clickbait?

Oh, right, I forgot AP are Bad Hombres #fakenews now

How is "Police: no footage yet" a clickbait headline under any circumstances?

"Police: Trump not indicted yet"

"Police: no one murdered yet"

"Police: no car accidents yet"

Whatever happened to Kristoffer? He was one of the original RE mods. He got demodded and then later was scrubbed from the site. 

I remember him being rather reasonable as well.

It is hard for me to explain, but I don't understand why Ireland has not been reunited yet. There was a time where there were many movies about those countries and their fights against England in the medieval age, and I was wondering how people felt about it nowadays. Would people be happy if Ireland was dully reunited, and if Scotland was independent from United Kingdom?

If you visit a pub in Ireland and ask about uniting Ireland, how many people will support it?

 :mindblown

Ireland hasn't been "reunited" because a bunch of people living there consider themselves to be British. Ditto Scotland. And Wales.

So basically, white people shouldn't manhunter nazis if POC don't have skin(see what i did there?) in the game?

That's pretty yikes from me.

while announcing that you want to stalk nazis doesn't require you to leave your moms basement, actually stalking nazis does require it.

Something boogie2988 will be eternally grateful for i'm sure, since he seems to be their most hated nazi currently

I'm going to assume the OP is talking solely about Braveheart as these "many movies." I can't even think of a film depicting the Norman invasion of Ireland. Probably because it took like a century and a half.

Even Braveheart has to do a massive time skip and then never depict the rest of the war. :lol
