I had to read the article, since it initially sounded like the groups were doing the vigilantism only within the game. Once things go into real life, it’s a different matter and I fully agree with you there, especially if the groups are looking for views on youtube and social media

Similar to viral pedophile hunting groups, players are attempting to track down and apprehend predators themselves.

Oh, that is a different matter, the vigilantism might be happening IRL

They aren’t, but that they had to form up at all within roblox shows that the company heads don’t give a single flying fuck to their game being a predator haven.

If that works with silly mobile games as well, maybe I can get my mom on Linux

Damn, I didn’t even notice that. Guess I’m not going to give this game a go, despite being f2p

Until games decide to fuck people with older drivers (looking at you, No Man’s Sky), people will rightfully keep their cards chugging along

(Founder’s pack) Includes one Vanguard Hero, the Vanguard Chapter 1 campaign content, an Army accent cosmetic, and Founder’s Discord role.
(Ultimate pack) Deluxe Founder’s Pack PLUS Vanguard Campaign chapters 2 and 3,

Sounds like they only promised the first 3 levels (chapters) of the Vanguard campaign and nothing else, unless they changed the text and images sometime during or after the KS

No one is paying for anything.

No one in your family, hopefully. But kids will beg and annoy parents for robux, so they can buy skins and clothing items to use in the games.

I can’t imagine anyone playing Roblox solo or putting money into it.

Depends on the roblox game, there are some that have MMORPG style grinding, so you can find people playing solo there. As for money, besides the above, there are casino games where players spend robux, too.

Even South Park gave them a jab back then. S07E09

Not a problem exclusive to linux. There are many games that don’t receive an update on gog after some time, or lack the linux build, or several other things.

Slaanesh is proud

High Tail Hall?

Only their Galaxy client, because any games with native linux support has the proper installer files. They don’t go out of their way to ensure windows only games also work on linux

Sounds like you’re spoiling them. I also don’t see what kind of security you can only get in new-ish high end phone that didn’t exist in high end phones of, say, 2018-2021

I suspect they don’t have the means to produce higher volumes, or aren’t willing to take that risk

WELL, I’ll let you know that my GOG collection is larger than my Steam collection!

For some reason, I’m reminded of using mineral oil for computer cooling. As in, you just leave the entire thing submerged in mineral oil

Speaking of terminal emulators! - https://arcan-fe.com/2025/01/27/sunsetting-cursed-terminal-emulation/

I have a OrangePi 5 and, if that’s any sign of what kind of driver support to expect, the answer is “none”

Any influencer that relies on YouTube ad money won’t make the full jump.

Other than that, they’ll very quickly find out that keeping a video focused service running and serving 10k views daily (300k/mon) is very expensive both in storage and bandwidth.
