When you’re starting on a foundation of knowing bugger all it’s impressive when any of the stuff you come up with is true!

What are the issues with multiple drives?

Bit of a clickbait, the full quote is:

At Ubisoft, the golden rule when developing premium games is to allow players to enjoy the game in full without having to spend more. Our monetization offer within premium games makes the player experience more fun by allowing them to personalize their avatars or progress more quickly, however this is always optional.

So still sniffing their own farts, but not quite as deluded as the out-of-context quote makes it sound.

So they can make a lightweight Windows, they just normally choose not to?

Just try it, first one’s free! And the second. And the third…

Can you even run Windows on a RPi?

I know I shouldn’t encourage your addiction, but there’s !freegames@feddit.uk if you want to pump those numbers up

Plenty of people uploaded stuff to youtube for years before it started giving them any money

What do they say if you don’t have a smartphone?

I use Cryptomator so I don’t have to trust my cloud storage providers not to read my data

If you’re comfortable with scripting CLI tools then rclone seems to support icloud, you can use it to sync everything to a local directory which you can then backup however you like

You can rip out ChromeOS and install Linux, good if you’ve already got an old EoL Chromebook but I’m not sure if it’s worth actually buying one for it

Have a read up on GrapheneOS, they seem like they take their shit very seriously and their product is pretty solid (though their communications are a bit… “opinionated”). And yes, it is an amusing irony that the most secure devices are made by Google.

Does that work? I always assumed games with DRM wouldn’t work if they couldn’t authenticate to your Steam account.

Simple explanation: if you have one console full of fond childhood memories then of course that’s the one you consider to be the best!

You can still play them on your GameCube or Wii though, or take copies of the discs and play them on anything that runs Dolphin

FYI if seems you can access older versions of Steam games, it’s just a bit hacky

OK, just making sure you’re aware that the reason everyone is talking about gatcha games is because they’re the ones that you brought up!

How many of the mobile games that you specifically mentioned aren’t gatcha games?

Fingers crossed!
