Here the doc for the record: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#Set_module_parameters_in_kernel_command_line

Note, they forgot to add to also blacklist the radeon module.

A friend of mine has a old Radeon HD 7850 that was not working with Vulkan out of the box. Since he didn’t want to tinker with it, he gave it to me and I will have a look. I’ve read you can force the new Vulkan Driver on it with some kernel flags.

I have read your link but they didn’t say the EGS is at loss specifically because of the 12% cut nor that the Fortnite money is subsidizing the lower cut.

It could be that the EGS is at loss because creating a new store and client from scratch costs money ?

To be honest here, we don’t have the numbers to say exactly how much margin Valve is making. But my guess is the following: if EGS estimated that with a 12% cut they could be profitable if they had enough customers, it makes me think that the cut of valve is way overinflated in regards to their costs.

And yes Fortnite is awfully predatory. But the topic is Valve and Steam there 🙂

Maybe, maybe not.

Frankly I don’t even know if this clause can be enforced in Europa. I wanted to point out that we shouldn’t rely on the customer protection laws of each country to address that: this clause shouldn’t exist in the first place.

But to be frank, it most likely doesn’t come from Valve and rather from the games company themselves.

Yeah you’re of course right, they are not a charity and shouldn’t have to provide their service for free.

I expressed myself too quickly (the rage!). What I meant is the this cut of 30% is fucking predatory, mafia or middle-age money lender style. You get one third of the rewards of my efforts just for delivering my product? And don’t talk about promotion because this store is now stuffed with too many games for visibility.

You can argue “but this is it the standard rate of the industry”. Well it is predatory everywhere else and I hate Google and Apple as much for it.

A cut of 10% would be more humane. Or whatever to reach a “normal” profitability. But now the discussion becomes complex because we don’t have the concrete numbers.

What is sure, is that it is possible without pain to take way less than 30%. This is something EGS got right, even if I dislike them for many other things (Epic and Tim Sweeney).

Yes you can workaround it. But this is still a society right they forbid you. And who can say that in 2100 they won’t implement a cleanup job that lock all accounts that are over 100 years old ? 🤪

Well I am European 😂

But this is a problem right ?

Because the libertarian view of the world DOES have an impact on Steam: they have so much inertia to fight against hate speech and extreme right, they do nothing against gambling, and so on. All under the pretense “free speech” which is so convenient.

IMO this is the view of the modern libertarian: all the money, none of the accountability.

I have a mixed feeling about Gabe and Valve.

While I am insanely grateful for proton (even if it was strategically important for them, they didn’t do it out of kindness of heart), some other stuff disturb me:

• Valve being so lenient on CS2 skin gambling, hurting the young people
• A steam account being un-inheritable, making you defacto a tenant of your games
• The 30% percent cut, stealing money from devs
• Gabe spending his money on multiple mega yachts, like every asshole billionaire, instead of making the world a better place
• Gabe claiming to be a libertarian, like Elon and other pieces of shit

Plus Ludusavi afterwards to backup the saves !

Thanks :)

I had the same problem with Dead Cells: I could finish the game once, but impossible to continue with the Boss Cells activated. Thankfully, they introduced an “Assist Mode” with a later patch and I managed to continue playing.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the world. However the difficulty made me drop the game at the half of it. Since I turned 40, I play games to relax not to rage on bosses. Therefore altogether, a bit of pity I couldn’t see the end.

I don’t follow her at all so thanks for the explanation!

While the joke is funny, what is the context? Why did she post the original tweet in the first place?

Really nice.

However, on the last image, wouldn’t the second dwarf get impaled on the shield?

Shameless plug to the OSS Review Toolkit project (https://oss-review-toolkit.org/ort/) which analyze your package manager, build a dependency tree and generates a SBOM for you. It can also check for vulnerabilitiea with the help of VulnerableCode.

It is mainly aimed at OSS Compliance though.

I also had problems with Eternity and I realised it’s development is kind of slow. See the commit activity on https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Eternity.

I changed for Jerboa and now everything works.
