Defending them from what? You haven’t brought up any real arguments for why Steam is relevant in this scenario. You’re just lashing out for no reason.

I didn’t know valve sells you hardware that locks you to steam

It’s part of the banner on the community, just from a different angle

First segment: https://youtube.com/watch?v=tWlnVVbtNwc

Digital foundry did a segment on it, certain issues will occur regardless of hardware. You might be lucky and not as sensitive to stutter and frame time fluctuations, but I refuse to believe you got the game running perfectly without showing a frame time graph to back it up.

I’ve seen someone playing games at a highly inconsistent 20fps without really noticing the issued, so please excuse my skepticism when you say you got it running perfectly. I’m glad you’re happy with it though.

apparently everyone has decided to hate on this game because of “reasons”?

It’s performance is atrocious, it clearly needed more months to get out of alpha stage.

/ isn’t a valid char in filenames, yyyy-mm-dd is better

Probably the right choice

Votes will be vetted

Here’s a post count. Rose, Sabre and Amsterdam have been more consistent throughout the year. 62 out of 83 posts from blaze have been in the last ~20 days, I’m actually surprised that he is consistently posting on [email protected] again.

I am saying that whenever he revealed his preference or had a chance to exercise any influence in the outcome, he clearly pointed (a) away from LW and (b) away from topic-instance that I was offering.

That’s accurate.

As an admin of a topic based instance, I do believe topic based instances are more sustainable for an admin team to handle. It seems to be the news/political communities that attracts the worst behaviour in people. Having instances that avoid those communities would lessen the moderation load put on a team.

I just want to chime in and say that blaze isn’t the most prolific poster on [email protected], by a long shot, and I could a name a few people that have been more consistently posting.

He also didn’t make the decision to migrate to lemm.ee. The decision to migrate was a community vote, and the instance chosen was decided by me.

Just singular “mod” I’m afraid, and personally it’s not that big of a deal. I’m more sad/surprised that lemm.ee is shutting down than anything else really.

The community voted for it, each for their own reasons. A lot of people is concerned that it has grown too big, others don’t like some of noise that has surrounded the admin team/instance policies.

Barcelona did the first sale in July 2022, and was fined in October 2024. The second sale was also in summer 2022. A bit weird that the two cases are dealt with separately, but this isn’t really something new.

Neither options will solve the problem though

Unlikely, busy days at the moment. Wasn’t even aware nations league was going on now.

The headline speaks of 2 deaths, one of which is clearly and accident, the second that is mentioned we still don’t know what happened.

Before the post was seemingly taken down on r/soccer (again, likely due to the misleading title), the top comment mentioned it’s a small French town that mainly focuses on rugby, not football. Implying that it’s related to PSG shouldn’t be done unless more information comes out.

It’s obvious that the news headline tries to paint a picture that’s clearly inaccurate and written to agitate.

I didn’t read anything new in the article, what part of it did you want to point out?

What’s an American not interested in football doing on here, and maybe read the article before commenting trash.

people were arrested across the country. Officers reported also two deaths, a man hit by a car while riding a scooter in Paris and a 17-year-old stabbed during the celebrations in the southwestern town of Dax, although the prosecutor’s office has declared it’s not clear yet if the episode of violence was related to Champions League celebrations.

The title is tethering on misinformation, it’s most likely “just” incidents that happened in France on that day, not the PSG fans turning violent.
