So the thing that you want is something that is available on Epic.

Yay monopoly!

And Hillary is a Clinton through marriage so technically it shouldn’t count.

Not all black people think that using the n-word is ok and many will tell you that no matter who is using it, the word has a racist undertone.

When you work for an employer that makes it a point to embrace multiculturalism it’s not the kind of language you can use while you’re working.

The government hired so many employees in the last few years including tons of positions where they didn’t care about distance from an office until December 2022 (and that are now exempted from RTO)… I don’t think that argument has too much weight to it, people complain without trying to leave their current job, that’s why office workers don’t see as much gains but I can guarantee you, gains at the federal level has make impacts in the private sector in the Ottawa-Gatineau region because employers need to compete (a receptionist position for a small town paying 30$/h???). Make the public service as open to WFH as possible and now it’s employers from all over Canada that will need to compete with it for office jobs and those in the private sector should realize that!

I was happy to see the recent coverage by Radio-Canada/CBC about the TBS communications regarding the RTO options!

Passport applications that were processed by people that were working from the office and by teams that has been cut to the minimum number of employees possible by shipping people to other departments that were actually necessary during the peak of the pandemic!

All unions keep saying it, a gain for union jobs puts pressure on non union employers.

Also it’s the population’s money and time that’s being wasted by pushing for RTO, traffic in the Ottawa-Gatineau region increased so much since September 9th that public servants with other obligations aren’t able to work their regular schedule when they go to the office.

I’ve realized I get some pretty bad cramps in my right hand if I play games that requires the track pad to replace a mouse, I wish the Deck’s side would be more angled (see Xbox controller)

Have you seen the summer of discontent from the federal government over RTO?

Yeah, me neither

They’re not making enough profit on Epic because people prefer feeding Steam’s monopoly and would rather wait for the game to come to that platform than purchase it on a platform where the devs would get a bigger share of the sale. It’s not that they don’t make enough profit per copy on Epic, it’s that the number of customers isn’t high enough to compensate.

The social stuff is bloat, you need the platform to purchase and launch your games, that’s it, they already have all essentials like being able to automatically join friends in multiplayer games, why do they need crap like cards or forums (which are better as a third party administered by people who don’t have a financial incentive to hide complaints).

No matter how much they make their platform similar to Steam, you’ll find another reason not to buy on it, people are still complaining about shit they fixed years ago like not having a cart or achievements.

It’s very funny to see people on Lemmy (of all places) pushing for centralization.

Maybe if you appreciate the studio and their work you should buy the game where they will make the most profit from the sale.

On a virtual meeting a guy unknowingly had his mic on and shouted to his kid “N…r sit your ass down!”

Let’s compare notes then!

It’s too clarify that in their case the games you buy on their platform don’t require anything in particular to install (just the install file that you can download from their website directly and back up for later use), contrary to all other major stores.

I mean… Oh no, someone is being mean “behind my back”?

As for the personal info stuff… Why would they know personal stuff about you in the first place? Don’t let people you know know your username on these kinds of websites and don’t share personal info you don’t want people to know about without a throwaway account?

At the same time, both need to be done, your solution doesn’t solve the fact that it’s only a license you’re purchasing and you depend on a third party service to download the game in most cases.

Funny how you’re only using positive examples and not the reality for the majority of games…

Sure, because they don’t have any budget themselves…

Maybe NASA would have bothered if its funding hadn’t been cut again and again and again…
