JFC, you know, I can see some problems arising from games/companies changing hands and shit going dark here and there on a game for a bit… but bullshit like this… this is the reason we can’t have nice things.

I need OBS on this new computer!

Let’s install the flatpack!

V4l problems

Plugins Problems

Wayland Problems

I’m just going back to the .deb, thanks.

You still need a lot of third-party help to get on a console, though.

They really need to. I haven’t looked at them in quite a while now last time I looked I was hoping to move some Unity stuff over there, But it seem like anything other than Android was a significant hurdle.

I thought that was during Covid.

I’m honestly surprised that movie theaters even exist still. Motion picture groups basically starve the theaters to the point where they can only survive off of concessions. The places are almost universally dirty and understaffed. Most of the mom and pop shops died off decades ago.

1. Publishers. They always get their buck.

Studios get gobbled up, mass layoff, explode and reform month by month.

2. Game engines. Nobody is going to even try to reinvent that wheel. Unreal and Unity make a fuckton of cash whether a game does or not. Yeah I hear you, but but but they have income limits, studios release one good ish title, they’re expected to pay like it’ll always happen.

3. Stores. At least until recently there was not even a slight challenge against the stores control. Now with Apple versus Epic, everybody’s dying to funnel people into their own payment system, But honestly, stores are still making all the money, there’s still the primary method of advertising that works and they still hold all the cards for making sure you show up in their “searches”.

If you manage to bottle lightning the studio makes a fuck ton of money, assuming you haven’t already sold your soul to venture capital. (Hint, If it’s more than two guys in a garage, they’ve already all sold their sole adventure capital)

Yeah, there’s certainly are no fuckunf checks and balances. Amazing all the time they forced us to learn about all that shit in school turned out to be made out of paper mache.

All games become subscription only in 3…2…

They get too much money from it. The things you listed are visible and awful, But, money…

We really need to thank Microsoft. They’re pushing a LOT of people to try out the free stuff.

I had two big screen TVs, receiver, PS3, audio gear, Dv cam. When they forced me to choose between disabling Linux boot on the PS3 or using Netflix just literally stripping away features I paid for, I never bought another Sony product.

They used to fill living rooms and be all over personal wear. Now they make an ok showing in what, mirrorless cameras?
