    The new Call of Duty games do some SCP level containment for everyone sane in this hobby. Let Windows have that!

    So happy that I’m blessed to not like 95% of online multiplayer games, or mostly the competitive ones. People cry about not having CoD and Overwatch, and I just sleep easy knowing that none of the games my mom and I play are affected 😌

    More people need to like RPGs and single player games man

      Overwatch can be run on Linux no problem. The shitty matchmaker though has buried the game for me anyways

    My problem with Windows is the kernel level anticheat that comes with online games. On linux these anticheats only have user privileges, and still allow you to play online. That alone is just such a massive advantage that the ~10 games that don‘t run on Linux are negligible to me. Also it‘s the publisher‘s choice they only work on Windows so fuck ’em!

      Sure. But Window’s itself already has Kernel level access. So, I feel like if you’re running Windows the issue of some gaming company having kernel level access is much less concerning to me than a genocide supporting software weapons manufacturer.

      Like, I’m against the gaming companies having kernel access. But if you’re running Windows in 2025 you’re already sharing all of your data with one of the most malicious companies that exists. Microsoft is currently on the level of the many American companies that worked with the Nazis. I guess my point is that Riot having access to my keystrokes is the least of my concerns if I’m on Windows.

      Edit: Speaking as a former Microsoft employee.

    “I’m going to buy a new PC”

    “But you already have one with better specs?”

    “But this one has the logo for my favourite monopoly”

      The irony that some people still think that the Gabe Cube is for people that already have top-end gaming PCs… Or any PC to begin with.

    Has anybody heard any news on the HDMI issue Valve has been working on? I really want one but I use my PC connected to my TV so HDMI is pretty necessary.

      When I tried Heroic Launcher it gets you to the menu, but not into the game. The Anti-cheat software is lame and Epic has stated many times they won’t play with Linux for some petty BS.

      GeForce cloud gaming works though. I use it all the time. Not reliable enough for competition. But good enough for fun.
