There are plenty of cross platform frameworks and libraries that don’t involve web tech

I still prefer perl over either tbh

Pure evil

I don’t understand why you keep replying without even pretending to engage the points and arguments that I’ve made.

Do you think saying “the game is available elsewhere” addresses what I said about marketplace dominance at all?

Do you think anything you’ve said that only applies to this specific game addresses anything I said about systemic problems?

You aren’t even trying to have a discussion. You’re just saying “I don’t like the game anyway so it’s good it’s not on steam” and pretending it being available on other storefronts and that it happened to go viral has any bearing on any of the points I’ve made when it obviously doesn’t.

In any case, it’s pretty clear at this point that you’re not going to engage with me faithfully, so I’ll be on my way. Have a good day!

Finally. This was what was keeping me from using ntfs on Linux

They are getting loads of marketing from this

This particular game is. It won’t always apply to every game, which is why I want digital marketplaces that have so much market dominance they can make or break studios to not choose which games they allow on their platforms based on vibes.

This seems pretty straightforward and your argument is incoherent at this point.

My argument isn’t incoherent just because you refuse to engage the scenario from a systemic rather than one-off perspective.

Yeah and what I am saying is this is stupid shit to do that for.

You need to work on your reading comprehension.

So what you are arguing for really is for Steam and Epic to distribute this.

Yes, I am. There doesn’t appear to be a non-moral-panic reason for it to be barred, and being barred from steam will have a deleterious effect on the game and on the studio’s ability to keep making games. I wish company didn’t have that power, but they do.

You’re not even trying to understand what I’m saying if you think that deciding if this particular game is the hill to die on is what I care about. I don’t give a shit about this particular game. I care about maintaining the principles of not letting moralists dictate what art and media is appropriate for everyone else.

1. The person in these comments that has actually played the game said there isn’t actually a single child in the game.
2. I’m never going to decide to just accept bullshit “because it’s not surprising”. That’s completely asinine.

I literally don’t care if they had a little girl talk to a naked horseman (who is being treated by the game like a regular horse and not a man at all to make a point). My point is that banning things that aren’t child porn because of moral outrage leads to the moral crusaders escalating. Next thing you know they’re gunning for lgbt themes, then going after violence. It’s ridiculous and should be ridiculed and dismissed instead of pretending things are child porn just because you don’t like them.

Submitting to moral panic bullshit doesn’t placate them. It only emboldens them.

Yes, but also not all studies are created equal (or done with honest intent on the first place)

This is expertly crafted to piss off people either way they think lol

“To consider to be true or honest”

I don’t know what you think believe means but you’re wrong

Wow what a condescending tool

1. I like having the upstream versions of software instead of it being patched by package maintainers.
2. I like having up to date software. It means that issue trackers for software I use are relevant
3. Doing distro upgrades when they end support never works gracefully and i have to completely reinstall. I’d rather just use a rolling release which in practice works and is supported indefinitely
4. I do like bleeding edge updates. For wine for instance

Is the space pope reptilian?

In the 90s, a lot of c++ and Java code was giant trees of inheritance and everyone always talked about design like all real code fit neatly into hierarchies like the examples about animals and whatnot. There are always fashionable ways to overengineer and for a time it was OOP abuse, and the sane people that had to live through it honestly have some trauma over it and difficulty explaining just how bad it was because newer people have never seen the insanity.

Last week, a federal judge ordered an end to the deployment but also put her order on hold for 21 days to allow the Trump administration time to either remove the troops or appeal the decision.

Perhaps if these judges would make the intermediary status the historically normal one instead of the fascist dictator one, this kind of thing could be avoided.

Last week, about 160 of them volunteered to extend their deployment until the end of the year while the others returned to West Virginia just over a week ago.

Seems they were volunteers at this point in time.
