I’ll hold out on praise until they open source Red Alert 3.

Because then the game itself will have escaped to the one place that isn’t corrupted by capitalism.

I’m on a 2080 on Mint and have been for the past year, haven’t had any major issues so far.

I’ve played Helldivers 2 for over 400 hours now, and all of that has been on linux.

Look it up on protondb, there’s some launch options you could try.

Two can play at that.

You are now breathing manually, you notice you can always see your nose in your field of view, and you are aware of where your tongue is sitting in your mouth. Enjoy.

I air gap my shit

that’s an interesting claim, how do you use online multiplayer games and discord while “air gapped”?

and again, your “tangible benefit” is rendered largely moot by the fact that you can absolutely get around kernel anticheat. All it really does is keep the skids releasing free cheats on UnknownCheats and MPGH out.

“I’m OK with companies using incredibly shitty, intrusive software practices because I don’t think they’ll affect me personally” is such a shit take for so many reasons, to name a few:

1. giving software kernel access, especially when it does not or should not need kernel access, is a security risk, and does open the door for malicious actors to take advantage of vulnerabilities even if the software is not malicious in and of itself

2. occasionally, intensively intrusive programs like this do break things unintentionally, which can lead to all sorts of fun issues. StarForce DRM is a good example from years past.

3. just because you do not have anything on your PC that you consider sensitive, does not mean that applies to everyone.

4. Kernel level anticheat can be bypassed. It’s usually not cheap/easy, but it can and has been done. Meaning, for all of the above concessions you make, there is no real benefit.

these are just the few I can think of immediately.

literally have not had to skip a youtube ad in years, because I use ReVanced and AdNauseam like a sane person.

I’m going to be sad when YouTube dies, and all that collective knowledge and content either goes poof or is haphazardly, incompletely transferred to some “new thing”, whenever that is – but I won’t be that sad.

it’s nice to see I’ve never had an original thought in my life

yes, but I would rather they die the hero than live long enough to become dogshit

Fuck.

me too, little guy, me too.

Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found

It is if you do not possess a large stick inserted into your rectum.

So much room for activities!

If you look really hard and read carefully, you’ll see I also said “the second amendment”, which is popularly known worldwide as part of, specifically, the United States Constitution. If you squint, you can also see I mentioned “MAGA chuds” – I don’t think Donald Trump is running a presidential campaign outside of the US. Thereby indicating I was, in fact, specifically talking about everybody in the US, at least if you have two brain cells to rub together. It’s okay, I won’t hold it against you if you don’t.

It’s not like they’ve got guns either.

yes I’m sure the fascists will abide by the legal system they’re… simultaneously working to dismantle or otherwise work around in order to destroy democracy. Yes. Definitely.

Even if we did, what would people do? Start randomly shooting at people who we think are fascists?

all that is needed for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing.

I don’t think I said everybody in the world, but that’s okay, I forgive your stupidity

I guess if you’re in one of the countries that banned guns for civilians you could write the fascists a strongly worded letter. I’m sure that will help.

but I was moreso referring to the state of things in the US where the left is seemingly paralyzed between “we have to get rid of all the guns! think of the children! won’t somebody think of the children!” and “fascists are taking over, what the fuck do we do!?”

Remember, the second amendment is for everybody, not just MAGA chuds. :)

I don’t have enough lube for that.

upon doing the bare minimum of googling, it seems to be a private torrent tracker.
