My solution?

If you live in the US or any country with copyright law protest it. Do not buy any product on steam anymore, pirate all your games until US law removes the DMCA and copyright laws.

If you live outside America/Europe with no copyright enforcement, support game devs by donation if you pirate or on GOG if its available and backup your installers.

So far enshittification has not begun, and won't while Gabe is still working. It's not that Steam is so great - they're just the very rare example of things working the way they were supposed to until the vampires got hold of everything.

This used to be fairly normal.

>>107732234
You are saying US copyright as a buzzword. Unless you can actually elaborate on what's wrong with it you have no point.

He failed at PC, never offered Refunds until 2012, DRM that no one wanted, refused to answer questions related to gambling, never finished many other games, etc. That’s not a person who likes PC, it’s a person who tries to gain profit.

>>107732281
What's wrong is you buy a product and you don't own it. This is a permarental service which is morally wrong. That is wrong. I will not use any service which abides and enforces if I live in said country.

You don't buy a car and then the company can come tow it from your garage.

You don't buy food at a restaraunt and then halfway through eating it the waiter comes and takes your food

You don't go to the hardware store to buy a shovel and then are prohibited from owning it after a couple years

If I don't own it, I don't buy it. Simple as.

Thoughts on Lem development?
The author's going balls deep into AI usage to add functionalities and it's giving me a bad feeling, nothing against using LLMs but it feels too haphazard lately, adding vibe coded shit willy-nilly.

I've been away from the thread for some time, but has anyone brought up the fact that AR staff seems to be making a more active effort to push the tracker again?
They have a new post on the front page affirming the tracker isn't dead and I've seen recruitment threads pop up in many other places over the last few weeks.

The same arguments are being made again, just like when mining was a big thing, and again I ask unironically:
Why do gamers think they are the only group entitled to hardware? Everytime any other sector starts buying up GPUs, ram or ssd, here comes the gamers crying that all hardware should, by default, belong to them.
Why?

>>107723465
>this would just open the gaping hole in the consumer market that already exists for someone smarter to walk right into
Unless they already countered it.
That someone smarter is China; they probably cut a deal.

>>107723190
>cloud AI gaming
dynamic scenarios

China have their own GPUs unlike DDR5 RAM so at the end of the day we might move to Chinese GPUs.

>>107732157
I don't think anyone reasonable thinks they exclusively deserve cheap hardware. The problem with Crypto and now AI is that a massive amount of hardware is being thrown towards to what basically amounts to market speculation. This is less true with AI than it was Crypto, since AI is going to be very useful and change how we live, just like the internet, but not AGI useful like a lot of companies are selling it. At the end of the day it feels like my hobby is being destroyed just so a bunch of rich people can suck more money out of tax payers and that just sucks. I wouldn't be too sad about losing affordable gaming if it was for something that I believed would actually improve the life of people in this planet.

Extremely niche feel, but I understand it. Well, I started UO in 98.

>>107721609
I did as well, Compared to today, it was astoundingly expensive not to mention this was still the era where in the US both incoming and outgoing SMS were charged per message or purchased in bulk packs as part of a subscription. It may not have been the data plan that you would have paid per MB like during the previous era or the massive expense of the pretty-much-only-corporate-subsidized-ExpressCard mobile data ,, but it was also a considerable addition to most phone bills especially as many were moving from flip phones with little data usage at all.

Virtual will be sooner, cheaper, more realistic, more easily concealed and easily upgraded. All open source.

Best not to have noise to begin with but when that is unavoidable... multi-band noise gate, with different settings for each band.

For simple background noise i found the filter from sneedacity pretty decent.
