I'd argue that the problem with non-physical releases is mainly conservation, and software pirates seem to have that covered for PC releases.

Now if you wanna buy a game, DRM free is of course preferable. I buy as much as I can from gog, because I don't want to blindly trust any corporation, regardless of their past record. After all, valve is set up in a way that gives them all the leverage.

That's just normal fan design to make sure the motor has maximum torque on startup.

When have you last used a mid range phone? It used to make a huge difference, but over the years, as phones matured, I feel it's shrunken down more and more. I used to always use flagships, but these days, I don't see what value they provide over 400-600€ phones in daily usage.

As long as there is a shortage of their main product, it'll probably keep going up. Their main competition also still seems to have difficulties catching up for gpu compute. Not saying that that can't change, but it doesn't look like it yet.

Also, that's a bad graph.

Darlings, why don't we just all fly the design we prefer, as long as it doesn't include any hate symbols, or explicitly tries to exclude someone.

As a bi person, I find an extra bi flag kinda superfluous, but if someone likes to have it on there, go for it.

Playtesting ttrpg campaigns, mostly. Can be more helpful than just playing it through solo, but LLMs tend to be really fucking uncreative.

Funnily (well, not really, but what can we do but laugh), the other cited source, businesses insider, is also an Axel Springer publication. As is Politico, Morning Brew, and some other stuff.

So they aren't just a German problem anymore, they're now everyone's problem.

For my PC and laptop I use this one. It's big and square, so it works pretty well for all my screens.

It's apparently a composite of lots of shots of the moon. Found it when the person who created it posted it on reddit.

Found it on tumblr, actually. Back when Android first introduced adaptive colours all through the OS, I was looking for something that gave me nice ones, and this one stuck.

I don't have any frame of reference for how much content delivery on Valve's level costs, and whether a lower cut would be sustainable. I assume that a lower cut for the first $X of revenue a game makes on Steam would be doable without cutting into profits too much, and would probably help smaller indie devs. In the end, since Valve is private, we can kinda only speculate about what would be fair, or even just feasible.

Of course, Valve isn't obligated to do any of this, but if they would in response to pressure from Epic, I'd consider that a good thing. Considering the article above, that seems unlikely, needless to say.

I also do agree that Epic's store isn't all that great.

Groups in Signal and Threema. For my grandmother, WhatsApp (she doesn't want to use more than one app and her friends are on that one) or calling (because her grasp of that app isn't quite complete.)
