It’s long because you have to copy and paste your password from the manager (and click “remember me”) every time.
All these shitty knock offs of Steam do this and I don’t understand why it is this way. Why Steam never has this issue but every other piece of shit knock off does.
I think Epic is even worse than EA and Ubisoft’s because it also re-requires 2FA nearly every single time despite me using it in the same location it’s always being used and me checking the box to remember me.
Honestly?
Steam probably puts more into security or something and has more confidence in themselves, and the others don’t and they know it and so they have half-assed approaches that put the burden on YOU to reduce their risk.
And more importantly, valve understands that convenience is the biggest reason anyone would buy games from them.

I hate that. I have to look up my password every single time.
Change your password to ‘Skirt’, then you’ll love looking up your password.
Lol, I wasn’t fully awake when I read this, and it took me a second. Well done.
Wow Ubisoft game launcher opens in… Never? Wtf I paid money for this game and then I need to buy it again because they didn’t actually give me the account and now the launcher is just dead and I can’t even open it.
Fuck that. I bought one of the assassins creed games legitimately, then had it refuse to launch after a few weeks because they updated their launcher and borked it. I then pirated that same game to bypass the launcher issue and pirated every other ubisoft game since then.
If I have to pirate games to get around a deliberate flaw you worked into your program, I’m not paying for that game.
Yeah I paid $30 for rainbow 6 siege I expect to be able to play it for more than 2 weeks. Like honestly it would be so much cheaper and easier to just use the steam launcher, since the game is already sold there, but no they have to be special.
Every other time I play Chivalry 2 I get an ad pop-up (or 2) mid duel. Maybe I should just re-buy on Steam…
use legendary
Well, now opens to a black screen in two minutes.
Might take a restart if you want some content in it.

Steam can’t be run in minimal anymore, internal browser always eats a GB of RAM if you want to play a steam game.

I decided about 10 years ago that I just can’t afford to keep updating my computer every couple of years just so I can play new titles. So now I just play old titles. And if you play old enough titles, you don’t even have to go to a torrent site. You can go directly to the Internet Archive.
I keep rediscovering games I loved when I was younger. I’ve been playing Skyroads lately. I still love the music. You know how long it takes to load Skyroads on a computer from 2015? I have no idea either because it loads faster than I can measure time.
This has been your lecture from a crotchety old man.

OS Bottleneck
I find the video from LTT kinda hilarious with the 96 core threadripper. Breaking records in cinebench but Cities Skylines 2 still runs like shit (in a 1mio pop city).
Because chances are the 7800X3D will be faster due to the cache.
Real-world applications often can only be parallelized so and so much, before you start hitting diminishing returns for many reasons. A lot of it is about the actual technical design as much as it is the technical execution (you can’t parallelize two operations if one depends on the result of the other).
Also cache optimization has been a huge trend in games programming in recent years
I’m not sure the 7800X3D would even run a mil pop city. They were using 64 of the 96 cores running Skylines 2.
That’s the point I think. I haven’t delved into the specifics too much but the 7800X3D favors big cache sizes (at all layers iirc) over cores/threads quantity. So, it should fare better with games that aren’t very optimized for multi threading (ie, most games)
Teeth don’t render themselves, buddy.
The Epic Games store is so fucking behind I actually can’t understand it. Is there a single intern they rotate between semesters to build their client? It feels like yesterday they actually introduced a favoriting system to the library.
heroic games launcher is a foss epic and gog launcher, works very well and very fast for me on linux. it has a windows version, too.
Can recommend. Have it on my steam deck and PC. Runs great.
Oh this is very cool. Thanks for pointing me in this direction
I didn’t know it had a Windows version. Thanks for the heads up 👍
