Same energy as an American going to the UK and throwing around the v-sign then trying to say “It’s not offensive in America! You should learn my culture better.”
It’s pretty simple logic: if you’re publishing for a specific culture, you need to publish for that culture. And clearly, The Guardian agrees, because they changed the title of the article.
That response doesn’t make any sense. You do know this game received a major update just last week and has native Vulkan support, right?
I’ve been running Pop OS strictly for a few months now, but in terms of gaming, it just doesn’t quite feel like it’s quite there for me.
Take Half-Life 2 for instance. Valve is one of the few devs/publishers actually making an effort with Linux, and it shows, but it still manages to be inferior.
By default, it uses OpenGL, which is… a mess. Just plain a mess. It’s bad. Busted lighting, models look off, effects don’t draw right. This has no business being the default.
So, command line options, turn on Vulkan. 1 billion times better. Looks right, feels right… crashes on boot occasionally… and the workshop uploader crashes too…
Well, there’s always Proton, except… yeah, performance is decreased a bit. That’s nothing major here, but since I don’t have the best hardware, it becomes more of an issue with newer games. In regards to HL2, though, it also introduces microstuttering, which is absolutely a big deal.
Oh, this would be funny if people en masse were smart enough to understand the problems with generative ai. But, because there are people out there like that one dude threatening to sue Mutahar (quoted as saying “ChatGPT understands the law”), this has to be a problem.
Even if they’re abandoned, they can still have value in what already exists. Removing them entirely would be foolish. Perhaps making them free would be a good move, but I doubt Valve actually has the authority to decide the value of someone else’s product, even if it is their storefront. A warning is the best solution IMO.
