Thats interesting, see, I wasn't aware of this at all. I'm so glad I joined the Fediverse. I'm basically getting a 20 year massive brain update overhaul in weeks.
Personally i think people are throwing away money and freedom for convenience. but thats just my opinion so please don't shoot me. I've never used any of those services, never used any streaming service either, i never game online (always offline against the cpu) and i don't use music streaming services either. but that isn't to say i'm trying to tell anyone here to stop using steam (although i did make a remark like that once), use whatever you like, its just me personally i never used it and never will. and i'm pretty surprised to see any steam users in a piracy lemmy, thats all. i wasn't expecting that.
Kinda wondering if people here would be interested in my "Simpulator" game I made about 4 years ago. Its a sorta sandbox type game where you gotta work odd jobs to simp a camgirl its a whole thing. I've been thinking of posting it here but I'm new to the Fediverse so I'm trying to learn the ropes
Yeah see, theres a ton of stuff like that, that I don't know. So its good that I asked here. I'm basically a fossile. (52)
There was no steam on the Atari 2600 or Commodore 64.
What would work for what I'm doing? I like gaming pirated games, I'll personally never use steam (no offense) and I do a lot of artsy stuff and coding, specially these days with AI.
Thank you thats very helpful. I just wish I had a machine to test Linux on some time. I'll figure it out though, but thank you.
Let me put it this way: I'm Linux-curious now.
I can relate here, i've never had Steam or any such service ever. Same with TV, I don't watch / need TV, don't use netflix, itunes, or any of that junk. Then again I'm 52 years old, and i've always pirated everything. And so the concept of steam is literally alien to me.
Thats what I don't understand this very board is piracy, and no I'm not trying to shill anything. I don't use any service, let alone DRM service. I'm a pirate, i leech shit and the cracks have steam emulators. I have never ever even ran steam, or any other such service.
So far I haven't tried Linux yet. But the way its been going with Windows them even wanting to make it some sort of SaaS OS (?) I guess? Then i'm willing to take the plunge. Kinda wondering if its worth it, in example regular games like GTA, L.A. Noire, all that stuff will that still work under Linux? Sorry if thats a dumb question, its just I know next to nothing about Linux other than that its an other OS.
My bad, it was 35 days before the official launch. Windows Longhorn was what we called AIDS Vista back in the day, it came after XP. I never used Vista myself, I went from C64 to Amiga to Win 95, to Win 98 SE, to XP, to 7 and now 10.
You have a point there.
