    I'd much rather praise them when they do something well, but this is so hard to spot when just reading over committed code. All the obstacles they cleared are not visible in there.

    This is SO true and exactly why code reviews always feel like a beat down (even when they're not). There's no visibility into the truly good work that's already been done.

    I'd argue this is a wash. Linux is more convenient in many ways but Windows is in others.

    The more options and configuration the more to support by the developers and more likely for problems to arise due to odd side effects of various options combinations.

    Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter
  • PHLAK PHLAK 5mo ago 87%

    Valve releasing a competitive game doesn't prevent you from doing this. I for one am excited by the potential of this game. Then again, I've been playing Dota for 10 years so maybe I'm just a masochist.

    Helldivers 2 went from one of the most beloved Steam games to one of the most hated pretty quickly
  • PHLAK PHLAK 6mo ago 100%

    I bought the game on release week. I don't play often but when I do it's with friends. After hearing about this incident my plan was to wait a few days or a week to see how it resolves before deciding if I want to refund the game. However, enough of my friends have already refunded the game that, if they don't come back, I likely won't be playing much if at all anyway so I'll probably refund the game this week as well, especially if nothing changes.

    Sunshine/Moonlight should perform better than Gamestream at the default settings.Try turning down your bitrate. 4K will work fine at 100Mbps.

  • PHLAK PHLAK 8mo ago 87%

    "all your vscode extensions still work fine" is definitely not true. Sure a vast majority of them probably do, but certainly not all of them.

    I still prefer it over full VS Code though.

  • Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating
  • PHLAK PHLAK 8mo ago 100%

    Companies having a geographic monopoly over access to the internet doesn't change the fact that the Internet as a whole is decentralized.

    That being said, yes, something should be done about ISPs.
