Thoughts on the jc141 crack scene? They attempt to bring pirated Windows games to Loonix in an easy way to use.

>The motivation behind the project is based on the communist and anti-capitalist ideology. We re-distribute games on the GNU/Linux operating system which is not directly controlled by a corporation such as Microsoft and provide blocking internet access from prying eyes in an environment where the user is viewed as a target for marketing schemes.

>TBF tar archives and appimages are not truly distro-agnostic because of the glibc dependency.
lmao ok bro, if you're counting the fucking C library implementation then that would also be a problem with those .DwarFS archives since the games still have their own binaries/wine to run
the difference here is that i can do 'tar' on literally any distribution, the same can't be said about this meme format

As i said the format is basically a highly improved squashfs. It wouldn't be a meme and could easily backported if the dev had actually bothered to use stable dependencies.
>if you're counting the fucking C library implementation then that would also be a problem with those .DwarFS archives since the games still have their own binaries/wine to run
I thought they would use chroots, but i see no mention of what 'start.sh' is exactly supposed to do.

Using semi-obscure formats isn't necessarily a bad thing if the necessary tools are high-quality and portable. I loathe lutris and similar software not because they're not using muh heckin tarballs, but because they require an unnecessarily opaque setup for the simple act of installing software and applying a few patches to your wineprefix. Flatpak is a hack executed badly, but at least it's nothing more than a fancy chroot manager and works most of the time.

I used lutris because after updating wine in my arch chroot, Tsukihime suddenly refused to start and gave a cryptic error message (rechecking: there isn't even an error, now it just dies). Searching for the error lead to a winehq thread that gave lutris as a solution. (Now using an alpine chroot btw).
I don't like the way lutris is a huge pile of python with a mandatory gamified looking gui (just gtk issues). What is far more infuriating to me is the way it is used as a catch-all distributor of fixes, when the effort going into it could just as well go towards improving wine, winetricks, or just writing a fucking entry on winehq's appdb.
The automatic dependency download and injection for linux games might be neat (if i had any faith in modern linux compatibility), yet the way playonlinux and lutris distribute their fixes is ultimately proprietary, not in license but in the ability of users not to opt into their can-of-worms ecosystems.

Shay already talked about this but this is just that but way more comprehensive. I found the story enjoyable, I found the gameplay enjoyable, the way the gameplay was mixed with the story just fucking wasn’t. It’s the same problem as interactive TWD games, and part of the same problems seen in undertake. Ludonarrative dissonance, it’s such a fucking strong as shit aspect of the game it’s hard to ignore or focus when you can go from shooting slavers mercilessly to seeing Ellie contemplate Abby. Granted there’s lore specific reasons for this that actually do make sense in context, but gameplay to story transition wise the way the game overall progresses is bizarre as shit and fucks with my mind due to the complete lack of choice the player has.

Worse this still happens if you decide not to be a piece of shit with Ellie and run past everything. Literally beratting the player for being evil even if they haven’t done shit just because the game is that linear with its story.

There's tons of sci-fi from the cold war which has the USSR still in it though. Other than ones in the far future what examples are there where the USSR has collapsed?

I'm feeling legit depressed
made a wrong choice and my girlfriend died, and that stupid black kid who betrayed me before would died instead if I made it right. This is ruining the happy ending for me, clem should be there with her GF having a perfect happy live raising a kid and finally having someone who loves her and wont live, and now she will be a lonely virgin cripple until the day she dies. I feel like I wasted 10 hour playing this fucking game, I wish she just died so I would now I couldn't give her a happier ending.

I used to buy a lot of games, but it came to a point that is unsustainable for me, idk how's the situation in NA and EU, but here in south america is pure hell, games usually cost 30% of the minimum wage + most games come with paid dlc, no localization and are released in a total broken stage, and lets not forget, we dont actually own any of these games, we just have a license for them.
why do people accept this kinda of shit that would never fly 10-20 years ago? better yet, why do some people even DEFEND IT?

I have 100s of games from Epic I got for free. I assume every time I get one they must give some kind of cut to the developer. TBH I usually try to only buy games if they're MP because that's really the only limitations of pirated games(usually.) Steam workshop is another reason.

I mean that's not inherently a nerative. I consider my own childhood paranoia on the matter to have been a great motivator in developing my own tech literacy.
Hell even on stuff like PlanetMinecraft, kids don't trust the companies making these closed systems and are at least aware of stuff like linux, with some adoption. I think they'll turn out alright as long as the rent-seeking remains blatant.

Remember to buy indies directly from the developers whenever possible so a cut of the game isn't going to Steam or whomstever.
