not my own comments, but i noticed more and more comments being downvoted for daring to say something controversial. i remember back before we had to have the "this is not a disagree button" hover text on reddit, now we don't even have that

sexy, isn't she

thank tywele not me!

but if you like this, i feel duty bound to promote the entire f.n.i.c. but particularly !imaginaryfairies@lemmings.world and !imaginarymerfolk@lemmy.dbzer0.com

::: spoiler now tywele i'm really taking the piss with what counts as merfolk at this point; so if you remove this for being off-topic i won't be [too] offended

(although please reply to this comment so i get pinged)

I wonder if they could use firefox sync

i imagine it'd be more work as it's not pre-built, but samsung internet does it so maybe mozilla are a little more lax with who uses their services

if you want to make your posts more convenient to us lemmings, don't mention/tag until the second paragraph

the first paragraph gets converted into a title with the ugly formatting, but as long as the first paragraph is plaintext (or uses lemmy formatting) it looks fine

oh this is just dripping with atmosphere, i love it

this is gorgeous

i love the fallout artstyle all round, and this piece in particular is great - particularly the sand swept up around the rear

i guess so actually, i didn't consider that it might be deliberate

maybe i've just got a phobia of fishhooks

tywele, i've marked this one as nsfw because of the, y'know, fishhooks. but there's no blood, so tell me if you didn't want me to do that

the ! is the prefix to make an autolink on lemmy

think r/ on reddit, or # on mastodon (sort of)

honestly? i kind of agree. but gog spent a lot of dev time revamping their client into "gog galaxy 2.0" just to make it less controller accessible; and the epic client is just unusable

i would have more sympathy if they were little indie companies. but the itch.io client is better than either. these companies are pouring money into breaking into a market, but not bothering to develop features

that comment was more an example of why the egs isn't yet a real competitor than a criticism of any as yet nonexistent competitors

It uses CEF not Electron,

fine. i was simplifying. that wasn't the main point of my comment. forgive me.

which it has used for over 13 years. This isn't something they just added.

no...?

you mean that the store has been an embedded browser? in that case yes

but the whole steam client? has always been vgui, not electron cef. did you even read the link you sent? just because there is reference to chromium in the commit log doesn't mean the whole thing's built in chromium, and just because a programme can render web content also doesn't mean it's built in chromium. when firefox switched from xul to html did you go "akshyually, it was always able to render html content so it hasn't switched at all"

If it's running slow for you you probably have an issue with hardware acceleration.

it's not just me who has performance issues. at one point it was everyone on linux with an nvidia gpu. which is supposedly fixed (and it's definitely better) but it's still unusably slow on both linux and windows. also, so what. "it works on my machine" isn't a great excuse to ignore the biggest gaming gpu brand, and electron is notoriously non-performant (if my pc can handle playing a video in ffx whilst playing recent 3d games, i think it should also be able to display my list of owned games without stuttering). my point was that i never had issues with vgui, and now i do.

edit: ah, i've just looked through your comment history. i don't believe anyone who's not a troll has -10 karma and no negative comments (especially with some comments with >100 points), and i also suspect vote manipulation. i should never have engaged. sorry. i won't engage any more.

i would love for steam to have some competition. i will gladly switch over to the first competitor that has

• a big picture / controller-friendly interface
• controller configurator that
  • is more powerful than rewasd
  • is editable in the overlay
  • has import/exportable configs (incl. with the community)
  • supports the best controller i've ever used, the steam controller
• cross-platform client
• cross-platform cloud saves
• workshop/modding support
• proper reviews system
• community page for each game
• etc.

and doesn't

• buy exclusivity rights to games
  • i don't mind revenue deals for exclusivity, but buying existing games takes the biscuit
• actively worsen existing games
  • e.g. removing the impeccable siapi support in rocket league, and making it run on the shitty epic servers so it disconnects all the time

particularly now that steam has switched over to electron, so the client runs like shit

i do sometimes use gog because i like their ideology, but they're missing quite a few from this list. any gog or itch.io games i buy, i inevitably add to steam as a non-steam game. which adds a lot of these handy features, but not all

unfortunately, until a competitor brings along something new to the table, i'm quite happy to wait and pay more for a game on steam. it just has too many features i can't give up

i'm firmly of the belief that it's designed to be on the left

if you use a calculator with your left hand, A) your thumb (strongest digit) rests on = (most used button), and B) you can write with your right hand

then some wacko put it on the right of the keyboard, so enter is on your little finger and the mouse is miles away[^1] and now we have to live with the consequences

[^1]: yes i realise mouses weren't around when this layout was designed

in about:config, try removing the pertinent domains from extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains

i've never done this though, so caveat executor

holy hell this is massive

thank you for your work db0

yeah i guess i can't argue with that…

the same way that removing a headphone jack is courageous, i guess

jerboa supports it! press the little exclamation mark in a diamond (it's a triangle on desktop for anyone wondering)
