Or: people who play new games in this style :) two examples I’ve enjoyed very much are Lorn’s Lure and ULTRAKILL.

Once, my Slack account was deleted due to an error in an automated system, along with everything else, while I was at lunch. That was fun. But not as fun as the 6 months it took until all access was mostly restored.

You are conflating having a bug in the launcher with the launcher being the problem.

The second launcher is my problem, because I don’t get any choice whether I use it, and EA obviously doesn’t care whether it works.

You get my point, you’re fixating on this to make a fanboyish argument for Steam, I get it. No need to keep going around this loop.

Keep licking those boots, surely it will pay off one day :)

Yes, a bug is a bug is a bug. EA doesn’t care about this bug and hasn’t fixed it in years. I would not be encountering this bug if they didn’t insist on a second launcher.

If the broken part was the main menu you’d be just as boned.

Yet the main menu works fine, and it’s only the second launcher that’s boning me. It’s well known that the more code you have, the higher the chances of a bug.

And yes, they should fix it. And if they don’t you should get a refund.

Which would leave me the option to buy the DLC for a higher price from EA, or not play at all. Amazing, this second launcher is really helping me!

Because you’re not blocked by having a launcher, you’re blocked by having a broken one.

But I haven’t encountered such issues with Steam. It’s the opposite, Steam is actively helping me to make games more playable. Other launchers are making them less playable, because the companies don’t care.

My issue is the second launcher, not any random bug.

No, the bug is not in Titanfall 2, it’s in the EA app. Titanfall 2 doesn’t start, the EA app blocks it before that. It’s only the second launcher that’s problematic.

You’re just wrong here, because the problem is the second authentication flow which apparently isn’t implemented correctly.

Not that it would be any better if you’re correct, as it’s still EA selling a game that’s broken due to their second launcher, but that’s not the case here.

Yes, it’s a bug. You can find many reports on the internet, it’s existed for years and EA doesn’t care.

Oh, awesome, so I just have to accept that the second launcher prevents me from playing the game? I have to buy the DLC for a higher price in the EA store if I want to play them?

Awesome, who doesn’t want such a great second launcher! Please give me one in front of all my games, I’d hate being able to use Steam as my primary launcher!

The other launcher prevents me from playing games.

I bought Titanfall 2 on Origin shortly after release. A couple years later, it was very cheap on Steam with DLC included, so I bought it again.

I can’t start the Steam version, because the EA App tells me I didn’t buy the DLC.

I can’t be the first person with this issue, but EA doesn’t care. Their launcher prevents me from playing the games I bought because they don’t care.

And that’s why scoped styles are a godsend!

Global styles were simply always a terrible idea.

but now this is affecting the functionality of the app

This shit irks me so much, because it keeps happening!

There’s this feature that makes your address bar randomly auto complete sponsored URLs instead of your actual history. Pretty fucking annoying to type n and have Netflix pop up, even though I don’t use it.

When you disable this “feature”, it still breaks your autocomplete! Now instead of suggesting Netflix, it just sometimes doesn’t suggest anything before I continue typing.

If you must add these anti-features to pay for your CEO, at least don’t break the app when it’s disabled!

And, worst of all, it has a bug that slightly mangles output - except if running on Windows Vista.

The Docker container has 10 million weekly downloads.

try {
    operation();
} catch {
    // nice weather, eh?
}

Really makes ya think what obvious things we might be missing. Maybe all you need to make FTL travel possible is to dinglepop all your schleem using a household plumbus?

Hence monocles

I’ve been told by multiple facility administrators that the main reason is to prevent toilet paper from being stolen. The shittier the paper, the less likely it’s taken

Veeery unlikely to happen, considering Valve is adding (has added?) support for the Ally to SteamOS.

Have you ever seen Superman compliment someones hair?

Me neither.

Python has Interfaces in the form of protocols, but those are explicitly duck-typed

Please kindly fuck off. I don’t want Sonys bullshit touching these games.

Yes, I’m a Fedora user.

And yes, I own the Fedora type coffee thingy.

But I only use Fedora because of the great atomic variants, and I only own that thingy because I don’t drink coffee, and it’s a cheap way to still offer some to guests.
