You said they’re both “bad”
This is the only true thing you said. Everything else is your assumptions that you argue against as a strawman.
The arguments I’ve made here stand on their own and I’m not going to jump through hoops to try to pass your manipulative and extremely transparent purity test.
It’s not. If “That game has denuvo so I won’t buy it because I hate DRM” if a stance you have, you should also not buy it because of Steam’s DRM. Otherwise you’re not true to your own word and therefore unbelievable.
Strawman fallacy. You’re arguing against something I didn’t say. I did in fact say “They’re both DRM, they’re both bad.”.
As surprising as it may be for you, it’s possible to be against both anti-cheat and DRM, which I am. You’re the one here defending Denuvo and trying to minimise other people’s opinions on it.
I won’t be replying anymore as you’re clearly not here in good faith.
Says the guy who heads a church that has it’s own country.
You can own your games on Steam too. It is entirely up to the publisher/developer. Cyperpunk 2077 for instance has no DRM on Steam and can be played without it.

I get that people don’t like the thought of “I’m not fully owning my game” which is reasonable, but in that case, your reason for not playing pargmata shouldn’t be denuvo, but steam itself.
This is whataboutism. They’re both DRM, they’re both bad. I should point out though that it is up to the developer/publisher whether they use Steam DRM. There are games on Steam that you can play the game without Steam (Cyberpunk 2077 for example).
As far as your comments about anti-cheats… at least those are actually trying to do something for the gameplay experience. Where people disagree with them is how it is going about it or whether different multiplayer models might negate the need for it.
DRM though exists solely for the publishers/developers, is very debatable whether it has much real benefits for them and is always a negative for customers. IMO DRM is the far more important issue in gaming.
If you are in favour of any kind of DRM then you are arguing against your own interests as a purchaser of games.

Nah, you suck for being a bigot.
FYI you just replace the destination with username@IP:filelocation like this that I use to backup my laptop to my server
rsync -av --delete /home/me me@192.168.1.2:/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/Backups/PCs/Laptop/home
You can transfer files using rsync over SSH without needing to mount the drive which should give you better speeds.

It’s just thinly veiled ageism.
Now now, don’t be getting all reasonable. This is the internet after all!
Ahh yeah, looking it up I see what you mean. I assumed it was a trilogy of Estelle games and was gonna wait for them all to be released before I started (I started the original chapter 1 but then the remake was announced). Now I see it’s 2 Estelle + 1 other protagonist chapters.
The guy from Falcom did say though that he thought they’d remake it, it just might not be next after chapter 2.
I guess I can start the Sky chapters this year then :D
Nice! Trilogy should be complete by Sept next year then.
FYI I reduced my power draw on my server by setting connection limits in qBittorrent so that may help to reduce it further (even at idle). I need to investigate my bios too, just keep forgetting.
More importantly for the future success of Linux was that the X11 system was ported to it, making 1992 the year of the Linux desktop.
lmao
Good read, thanks!
I think i’ll leave it.
yts.bz has it. There’s only 1 slow seed but it’s there.
Benno Rice always has interesting talks, good recommendation!
Yes, uncharitable guesses that were unwarranted and amounted to a strawman.
I’ll spell it out real simple for you since you seem to need that…
I never said I was boycotting either Denuvo or Steam. You’re trying to imply here that I have a contradiction in my argument but I don’t. The only thing I said was they’re both bad.
Trying to reinforce your own strawman with more assumptions in a transparent attempt to make me seem a hypocrite.
This wasn’t mentioned in my comment thread at all until you brought it up and even then it’s only in the context of your strawman.
As I said before numerous times, I think Steam DRM is bad. Whether or not it affects performance wouldn’t change my opinion. This isn’t the gotcha you seem to think it is.
Here, educate yourself about informal fallacies.
Make me.
