GOG is owned by CD Projekt Red who included DRM into their own DLC for Cyberpunk, including on GOG. That’s not “strong” in any sense of the word.

The DRM:

Get a fucking grip man 😅

There is also no reason they can’t dismiss front plate pictures as unreliable.

Are there any privacy communities remaining where you can say you’re using tor browser without getting attacked for being an “extremist” and paranoid just because you use tor browser or leaving phone at home?

I say this half jokingly, but after reading the rest of your post and a couple samples from your post history, I can tell you that “using the tor browser” and “leaving phone at home” is probably not why people call you paranoid.

for some reason

it’s probably because the limit for the category of microplastics is “now widely defined as pieces ≤5 mm in size”.

Yes, at least their attempts at destroying privacy comes directly from the government.

all that happened to yuzu is a slight name change so i don’t expect much more here.

All of the commits for Suyu, the most active yuzu “fork” this year is like 20 different readme/URL changes, lol. Nintendo 100% succeeded in killing it.

But they do not take up the idea, because they do not take it seriously. That is what it means to have a joke, no?

GOG, because I don’t care about badges and achievements and other trinkets, but I do care about DRM

It’s an exploit path to a UEFI bootkit, so at the very least you’d have to throw your motherboard away or find someone that can physically overwrite it through an external flash programmer or something. And the patch should be delivered through a UEFI firmware update, so if your motherboard is no longer supported you would have to buy a new one. And for laptops and embedded devices having everything soldered in, the motherboard is basically the whole computer, so I don’t think it’s that much of an exaggeration.

I guess it’s true that if you have ring 0 access you’re boned, bug if your ring 0 access gets upgraded into ring -2 access you are even more boned. They put those security boundaries in place for a reason after all.

You probably discussed it because you were aware and interested in it, and your awareness and interest showed through in your other trackable habits outside of your chatroom. You only notice when they guess your interests correctly.

Sure, if they were designed that way, I would not call them defects either.

Just because all defect stock are routed to the US inventory, doesn’t mean that US inventory is made up of all defect stock.

Proton/wine makes no security assurances, so it will be able to do anything that any other program you run is able to do. If a trojan or rat recognizes that it is running under wine, it can bring in some native Linux malware as well and it will execute just fine. https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=34573

Yes, I understand. I am claiming that colossal weapon users simply have less gaps to exploit and aren’t provided with enough advantages to compensate for the lack of attack opportunities for most bosses. And after playing the other souls games, this lack of opportunity is made even more readily apparent in comparison.

My time with bloodborne (saw cleaver) and sekiro (there is only one playstyle) gave me a taste of From Software’s design when they decide to treat your playstyle as a first class citizen, and I had a wonderful time. I just didn’t get that same feeling at any point in Elden Ring is all.

Yeah, after thinking it through, I can see where my confusion came from. Elden Ring might be significantly easier or significantly harder than the other Souls games depending on how you played the other Souls games.

I guess I wish that they had provided more scaling variety within the various build types instead of across them.

It’s honestly one of the easiest From games, once you engage with the particulars.

I see this being said from time to time and I thought it was just me not “Gitting Gud”, so after being filtered by Captain Niall even with my mimic summon, I went through and cleared Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls 1 and 3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro all for the first time, and they were a fucking breeze compared to Elden Ring. I used a strength scaled zweihander in the Demon/Souls games to have the closest comparison possible (and also because I think it looks good). I guess it depends on which weapons you enjoy using, but the fact that there’s such a big skill discrepancy between entire weapon categories is in itself a pretty big stain on Elden Ring’s claim to be an RPG.

edit: I shouldn’t say they were all a breeze. Bloodborne and Sekiro were difficult for sure. Not even close to comparable to my experience with Elden Ring though.

From Software aren’t generally shitty like that.

Dark Souls 1 and 2 had notoriously horrible PC ports, and Elden Ring was one of the only games that Valve stepped in to fix themselves through Proton due to its horrible stuttering. Regardless of their intentions, their familiarity with PC hardware is still definitely a “work in progress”.

Definitely not to have android apps on a Linux tablet, because in-waydroid rotation doesn’t work, and rotating the tablet itself breaks the windowing system until you reboot the container. Issue first reported in 2021.

The compile process was modified to decrypt and unpack the “corrupted” test zip file, which was actually a code patch, and apply said code patch before assembly of the final binaries.
