How do you play helldiver's 2 with my friends?

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean, yeah, you can find exceptions to any rule if you look for them

Dismissing major releases with drm isn't the victory you think it is. Linux is getting better it's almost there.

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

I dont know what the hell you are talking about dude. If the game has shitty drm but a pirated version doesnt, you can buy the game (or dont if you dont care about giving developers money) and then pirate it to get around that. If the game doesnt have a pirated version that skips the DRM, which is pretty much the ENTIRETY of online only games due to their nature, then yeah, you have to either accept the drm or not play it. I was merely countering your point that you can't pirate AND support devs. I have no idea why you are bringing up games that you straight up cannot pirate. Lastly, being a slave to major releases is a choice. Personally I only touch about 1 every 5 years, because the vast majority of new video game experiences come from indie games nowadays, so if drm is someones line in the sand, avoiding a new release because it has it isnt the loss you think it is to the person who drew that line

Helldivers 2 works almost perfectly on Linux. I had to nest it in a gamescope session to fix some weird mouse issues, but that was it. I dual-boot Windows and I've never even launched it there.

I just press a green button in steam

[–] frozen@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Cool, me too.

Not on Linux though, you had to do a bunch of fucking about to almost make it flawless.

[–] frozen@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, I literally had to add one change to the game launch properties one time. It took me probably 3 minutes of googling and following instructions. I wouldn't call that "a bunch of fucking shit".

[–] foo@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I did nothing more than pushing a button.

[–] frozen@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Cool, you're lazy, gotcha.

[–] foo@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean that's a stupid and childish retort. Congratulations on being the problem. I'm sure I have a fedora to tio in your direction

[–] frozen@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

I disagree, it's a statement of fact. There's nothing inherently wrong with that fact that you're lazy about fiddling with computers. I'm lazy about certain things in my own life.

But it's pointless trying to convert lazy people to Linux when it requires an effort level above 0 and they don't want to put in anymore than that.
