  • When the software isn’t efficient that’s bad coding(not in this case), it has absolutely everything to do with optimization. No one is going to say a game is well-optimized if it drains your battery in 5 minutes. You need to have nuance and admit when your favorite thing doesn’t win every in every metric. Lemmy has a steam deck circlejerk refusing to acknowledge that other handhelds may be better in some ways this is coming from someone would gladly to pick the SD over everything else.











  • PirateSoftware’s video was the one that had the most views on the topic. Of course it’s going to make Ross’s job harder having to fight through all that misinformation people were given.

    He did “just not blame one guy” but a multitude of factors. Like that government official wasting Ross’s energy canceling the meeting with him 3 times or the fact that the UK labour government wrote a laughably bad corporate response to it.

    First off that’s a strawman It’s not just one guy. It was thousands of advocates putting in various actions like writing letters, recording explanation videos and creating posters to name a few in bringing attention to this issue. The video is anything but cope if you had actually watched it you would know that. Second that’s disrespectful to all the efforts he has put into this. He never claimed to be the guy to “save gaming”. He has made it abundantly clear that it was always a team effort. The campaign had issues with exposure and misinformation.

    Ross trying to save our games from being forever destroyed deserves a lot more than Thor hamstringing the campaign with slurs, insults and red herrings while completely missing the point of SKG.

    Piratesoftware’s tomfoolery may have costed the real exposure the campaign could’ve had thus leaving us with jack results in failing to pass the initiative. All that volunteer effort made by Ross and everyone diminished because of one jerk with a large following.
