Have played about an hour and a half today, matchmaking not working but very fun so far.

My linux issue is that it doesn't work in fullscreen, you can set full screen in the settings but if you try to reload the game afterwards it gets stuck at a black screen. Deleting the compat folder fixes it for me.

Technically, yes they could. Legally, probably not, but when has that ever stopped them before. If you look at what they've done with things like the Edge browser in the past, then you can see a pattern of anti-competitive actions designed to monopolize the market. Imagine if you bought a new pc, googled pc games or even a specific game and clicked on the link for steam, and instead you got redirected (or a pop up/notification) to say "Try GamePass instead - free for 3 months". I think most people would take up that offer.

They know they can't compete hardware wise with Playstation, so instead they'll attempt to monopolize where to get the games from.

I just wish there was no such thing as a platform/store exclusive game.

I totally agree with what you've put, Xbox game pass has been so successful on Xbox and PC I can see why they'd move away from Xbox exclusives to game pass exclusives instead. It doesn't really matter what the console is anymore, it matters where you can get the games.

I don't think they'd ever completely pull out of the hardware market, but I can see them moving towards streaming units that require less hardware in them. The sale of physical media has been dying for a long time but game pass will be the nail in the coffin for it.

The impact this has on the PC market though is a different story. Valve already making a push away from Windows with their investment into Linux before Microsoft attempts to lock their OS down to game pass games only.

Looks like its saved correctly :) should redirect to lemmy.zip after completion, did it try to do something else?

I've decided to try and clear some of my Christmas backlog, have just finished far cry 5 and new dawn, moving on to finishing cyberpunk with the dlc and then try to finish off BG3. Then I need to finish RDR2!

Storage on backblaze is really cheap - as long as that remains the case, I dont want to prune anything. On-server storage (posts, comments) is just text and takes up very little space. No worries with storage in the long term right now.

So at the moment we're doing some compression on the images by turning them into webp format, but some communities don't benefit from that. Would be nice to have tools to be able to set different uploads limits in different places but at the moment its just one setting.
