Been a few days of it yeah. Still one of the faster instances I’ve tried so far.

Thank you for bringing back full height, for some reason on Android if a post was cut you’d be scrolling and hit a roadblock if an image decided to scroll in it’s preview window. Should be much nicer on windows now too.

I held out on getting a steam account for ages, till 2005, and even then only used it for valve games. It wasn’t until 2012 that I got anything that wasn’t part of a half life collection.

At this point I’ve more or less made peace with the concept of digital only gaming, and generally prefer the convenience, even on consoles, but I also don’t bother owning consoles I can’t modify, and have no hangups about pirating things to try or to have a copy I can control. For instance I’ve had to pirate red dead 2 despite owning a copy because the Rockstar launcher refused to work offline at the time.

As far as changes to what I buy and play, that’s a whole other thing. I almost exclusively play single player titles. I keep one live service game at any point, just as a matter of having something to play communally when friends want to jump into something, used to be destiny, now it’s fortnite, but the overwhelming majority of my gaming is in stuff like 7d2d, raft, cyberpunk, fallout, skyrim, that sort of thing. There’s not exactly a wealth of microtransaction going on in those (barring fortnite).

And it’s not like we didn’t have “dlc” in the 90s, we just called em expansion packs. Starcraft had brood war, warcraft 3 had frozen throne, half life got blue shift and opfor. Are all games dlc that big? No, but most of the games I play do get sizable chunks of content. And we definitely got updates to all those.

Hell, even Pokémon games got patched back in the day via link cable, although with regard to console gaming by and large such things didn’t start happening till consoles started going online.

(I’m sure my answers would probably be a little different if I hadn’t grown up on pc gaming tbh)

Might give ASA a look while you’re at it.

Having skimmed through the video the 96tb version is a multi drive enclosure full of 16tb disks

I forgot I have that game. Half decent nuketown clone in a god awful package

Because we all know inbev only makes two beers

I think you’d let a polar bear into your house to see how it goes, given the chance.

Tell her she’s excellent

Ye is on the github

I just feed the installer to steam as a non steam game, run it, then point the library item at its own compat data folder (will generally be the most recent one) and boom. Off to the races with minimal effort

Agreed I’d rather see an entirely too long post occasionally than have to click/tap every other one just to see the punchline to a meme I already read half of while scrolling

liftoff is pretty solid already, and it runs on ios and windows also. feels a lot like RiF, visually.

a 100tb ssd costs $40k, and the largest hdd’s you can buy come in at 22tb.

no, but i did spend the last five-ish hours unable to access midwest.social

same, but more north-central. obligatory fuck spez

protip for anyone running liftoff on windows, image cache will be hiding in appdata/local/Temp/cacheimage
