Get fucked🖕 💩Denuvo💩

The title needs work from The Register but the rest of the article seems fine

Friends don’t let friends install snap packages.

I’ve heard rumors that non-Xbox gamers will often refund games if they’re required to log into a Microsoft account.

This move seems careless as people can’t afford to buy a next-gen Xbox if it were to come out because Microsoft themselves are helping to drive up component costs due to AI.

There is no manufacturer in the world (that I’m currently aware of) that has been able to avoid increasing the costs of their electronic devices especially if it contains a hint of DRAM.

Closing off a market like Steam to themselves is so short-sighted in my opinion.

Edit:
Also saw this just a moment ago:

• Xbox console price increases in Europe and UK fully revealed, with Series X now costing €200 more

I’m personally gonna call it,
2026 is legitimately the year of desktop Linux

Microsoft’s fucked around with their users to a considerable degree that 10% happened this soon.

Fuck Microslop, Long Live Linux

Kind of a pointless comparison as we all know that x11 is EOL and Valve is hightailing it with significant improvements with Proton + Wayland.

A no-brainer comparison seeing the Wayland performance in the lead tbh.

Canonical seriously needs to reconsider their plans of attack if they want Snap adoption to be real.

Most consider snaps to be a joke because of how unstable and slow they are.

Flatpaks, AppImgs, .debs are still far better than snaps.

Nvidia’s strategy sounds like:
You will own nothing and you will rent forever.

Fuck both Nvidia and Windows for the same ass decisions to exploit their customers🖕

They sure took their sweet time didn’t they.

For real. AMD really needs to get their shit together if they still want to compete against NVIDIA.

Previously it used to be about 2-3 years or so (mostly CPU, GPU, motherboard).

• I don’t drink or smoke so most of my money goes into hobbies.

Previous/most recent upgrade was a Nvidia GTX 1080 to an AMD 7900 XTX

Now it’s currently looking like once every 10+ years unless prices come down before then.

No Sony, YOU pick up that can.

Thanks!🙌

Hey @KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com I’d personally like to request this post be stickied/pinned for a month as this hearing by the European Parliment is likely to have cascading effects for gamers both in Canada and worldwide.

As such I personally believe that this post should be pinned so that gamers here on the fediverse have a fair chance to be informed and learn about what impacts this may have when it comes to the ownership of their games and digital goods.

• I’m tired of this, grandpa!
• Why are we still here?
• Not like this

Well…just in case here are some alternatives cause I certainly can’t predict what will come of this decision.

Alternatives

• Itch.io
• GOG
• GameJolt

I’m genuinely really tired of AI being shoved into everything.

At this point if anyone wants whatever AI/LLMs provide, you do you; I’m not gonna stop you.

I’m just gonna move on and continue to adapt cause it really seems like it’ll be shoved into anything, (especially things closest to proprietary products/services); without rhyme or reason until morale improves or the bubble collapses.

No worries but to be real honestly this was all thanks to Gil Lawson and the team at Noclip!💪

The main thing I’d say I did was fixing the links and text formatting when transferring their video description🤗

From your own link

NVIDIA ACE is a suite of AI technologies—spanning models, developers tools, and on-device inference—that’s designed to help middleware and game developers build knowledgeable, actionable, and conversational in-game characters. The NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 9B V2 model is now available through NVIDIA ACE as an In-game Inferencing (IGI) SDK plugin. It simplifies the integration within your gaming pipeline and optimizes simultaneous AI inference and graphics processing for accelerated game performance

and on NVIDIA’s own DLSS 5 announcement page:

“Twenty-five years after NVIDIA invented the programmable shader, we are reinventing computer graphics once again,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “DLSS 5 is the GPT moment for graphics — blending handcrafted rendering with generative AI to deliver a dramatic leap in visual realism while preserving the control artists need for creative expression.”

NVIDIA’s entire page is AI summaries and AI xyz tool, sdk, etc. Clearly they’re marketing this and are not hiding it.

Again, please take some time to reconsider before making condescending trollish posts. This kind of behavior is not tollerated on our instance.

Final warning. If you consider continuing to act in bad faith you will be banned.

Please refrain from spreading misinformation and toxic trolling. We do not condone this kind of behaviour on our instance.

If this was:

“under our artists’ control, and totally optional for players.” - Bethesda

Then Nvidia and Bethesda and whoever involved should’ve said so from the beginning of the release.

Just like Jordan Gerblick from gamesradar says this is obvious damage control as people are justifyably pissed with onslaught of AI slop

Seriously shut the fuck up and give people what we really want:

• affordable reasonably priced GPUs
• stable drivers
• and keep your AI filth out of our stuff and games🖕

Do you happen to have a source as this is honestly the first time I’m hearing about this
