Yeah “Costs more than you think” no I think it costs about what I expected for a lossless player. DACs are a feature these days.

Launchers are a solution to DRM, not the solution. The way today’s modern market is, it’s understandable that some gamers have forgotten that there used to be games you bought directly from the publisher’s website. DRM was done by asking you to sign into your account before launching the game, a lot of games still make you do this today. There’s also the tried and true method of phoning home with a product key for DRM as well. There’s no shortage of ways to be independent, very few companies are interested in doing so because Steam is convenient.

Yeah but like, launcher isn’t a market. Game Store is the market they’re in. I’ll happily buy a game from a different store if thats the only place it’s offered or even if it’s just cheaper there. The annoyance is when they want to be Steam. I don’t want to be forced to download another launcher to play a game. If you want what Steam has, create a launcher that offers better services than Steam.

But like, why does it have to be Google? (Or this extension specifically?)

If you’re super attached to the google search results then try startpage. If you’re willing to branch out a bit try Duckduckgo, it’s based on Bing instead and lately seems like more folks prefer Bing’s engine to Google’s.

And as others have mentioned you could use any old useragent switcher to pretend to be Chrome

Yeah I’ve been trying to figure what’s up with that. There used to be really nice guides written on the github but it looks like they’re gone now for some reason.

It’s a bug, especially around alters of lilith. Sometimes enemies just spawn in the terrain for some unknown reason. And because D4 is truly 3D, them being clipped into the floor prevents them from moving, or from being pathed to. Additionally you can’t attack them if your line of sight is broken from them. Sometimes you can get them to respawn and fix themselves, but unless you absolutely need to kill them for some reason it’s faster to just leave.

IIRC Isn’t the Armv7 support limitation just for Revanced Manager? Just build the version you need on your computer using revanced-cli.

It’s totally fine! Public exposure essentially blasts any project with just about every combination of variables. Something is bound to slip by. I was just commenting to make sure you guys knew it was happening.

EDIT: Just got the update, everything works beautifully now. Great work!

Love the concept, though it looks like Firefox ViolentMonkey comment collapsing doesn’t work quite right. The comments end up stacked on top of each other like cards.

This one’s short and sweet. At level 4 PCs get the Score Improvement AND to pick a Feat. This has propagated throughout my whole group, but the original DM that started it reasoned "I think a lot of Feats are really cool, but a lot of people aren’t comfortable passing on their first Score Improvement to pick up something situational. So they get a freebie, because I want to see what uses they come up with.

Isn’t trading down actions RAW? A Full Action can be used to perform an extra Bonus Action, a Reaction (out of turn action with triggering condition expressed to the DM), or a movement action.

Technically speaking, Steam handles that part automatically. You wouldn’t need to futz around with it in any distro so long as steam is up and running. That said my original idea that you could just launch steam from an Xserver login script is, well I’ve since learned that Steam Decks are running a less than simple setup behind the scenes. BUT from an end user experience, booting any old distro straight into steam big picture should be at least a passable Steam OS experience, barring any performance issues that would result from the difference in back end implementation.

It is in fact, a US vs Europe thing. Stateside “SMS” is ubiquitous. I put quotes because it’s not really SMS anymore. It’s either RCS between Android users or iMessage between iPhone users. The only time SMS actually gets used is between Androids and iPhones, because as other commenters in this thread mention. Apple refuses to implement RCS on their devices in a way that is compatible with non-Apple devices.

I had no idea they switched distros. Or ran Wayland for that matter! Truly it’s the future. But that’s a good point, being able to say on the “box” that is specifically runs SteamOS certainly brings about a level of consumer and investor assurance.

As far as the nvidia drivers go. Only advice I can offer is that I’ve never had any sort of auto install, package based install, or any sidestepping of the default installation of the driver work for me. It’s always borked. The only reliable method I’ve found is the old school drop into the line terminal, shutdown all GUI, and running the nvidia provided install script (which sucks, I know).

Is there some specific feature that SteamOS brings to the table that people are looking for? So far as I know, a stripped down installation Debian or Ubuntu (Valve likes to base their packages off of Ubuntu) with an Xserver script that directly launches steam in big picture mode ought to create roundabout the same experience I would think.

How much you wanna bet that running the file through ffmpeg in a Linux subsystem scrambles whatever signature it’s checking

Not something I should have known, but if you want to continue using phone features on Windows Windows+H opens up the speech2text feature.

This is by far my fave feature so far. There is no question, if it’s available on PC I get it on PC

Would be real interesting to see it run at GDQ, you know, to really make the whole speedrunning thing come full circle.
