So can developers just ‘create’ steam keys out of thin air that can be used to activate their game on steam? Does Valve get paid when the keys are created or activated? Or not at all?
Seems fair maybe if it’s using all of Steams infrastructure, considering developers can distribute the game themselves without steam keys.
I can’t tell if I’m allowed to be excited about it because I love Sandman but Gaiman is a creep.
I unhinge my jaw like a snake and consume all the Oreos simultaneously.
Consider buying used hardware from an office. Lots of places sell used gear for dirt cheap. A used office desktop with a used GPU from the last 3 years or so would be a massive upgrade without spending much.
Steam Deck is still a good deal for what it is though, but I wouldn’t use it as a primary workstation.
Meanwhile being “the bomb” is good, but “bombing” is bad.
But if you’re “shit” that’s bad but “the shit” is good.
No amount of preparation or warning can prepare you for the sight that is JD Vance’s massive hate-filled titties.
Pet you both simultaneously.
These chodes want a bulletproof pickup but it’s easier to just drive a normal car so no one hates you enough to shoot at you.
Hey I just want a simple way to understand myself, others, and my place in the world without having to do any personal introspection.
A: “Good job Tex.”
B: “My name is Sam sir, I’m from Wisconsin.”
A: “Nah, you’re Tex now.”
(This is my vague memory of a gag in an Atomic Robo comic)
On a handheld? Probably depends how much you use it outside game mode and what you do with it.
On a desktop? No. It’s not intended to be a fully functional desktop OS.
Yup, I messed it up. I edited my post to be the correct way around.
Hemingway used to say “Write drunk, edit sober.” I’ve modernized that a bit for my own personal philosophy:
Code drunk. Debug drunk. Merge drunk.
It’s been working well enough for me. Before and after every section that I pull nutrients off the belt I filter spoilage to another belt running in the opposite direction. I’m too lazy to calculate actual ratios so I just kind of eyeball places where spoilage seems to be backing up and either filter it off again or add a few inserters to pass it off to bots.
I’m planning to scale up my Gleba base a bit soon (working on Fulgora now) and I’m going to try putting bioflux on trains, making nutrients at each city block. Feel like that’s going to be rough to figure out.
I keep my old SATA DVD-RW but I haven’t had it installed in anything for years. I finally recycled my USB floppy drive. I’d kept it to potentially help people with data recovery but decided that floppy data anyone might have lying around had already degraded.
Do you know what this is called or have any links? I’m not finding anything that seems like what you’re describing.
Yeah I should have expected a serious answer but I couldn’t resist. Glad you’re taking care of yourself though. Cancer is awful.
High risk or just like the experience?
Yeah that’s a pretty important distinction. I can buy Rimworld from the Steam store, or I can buy a Rimworld Steam key straight from the Ludeon website for the same price or I can buy a DRM copy for less I just won’t get Steam features like automatic updates, cloud saves, or the mod workshop.
Seems reasonable they don’t want you using the platform for distribution while undercutting the storefront price.
