  • It’s still used a lot. ComfyUI is the software of choice for the people you’re thinking about, and there’s some pretty advanced workflows that blow my mind how anyone even came up with that stuff. The end results are worth it though.

    AI slop that we are used to seeing are people just throwing prompts at chatGPT or Gemini, maybe ask it to change a detail or another if they are feeling less lazy than usual, and then share it on the web






  • Same. I have a gaming PC with Windows 11 only use it for gaming. Everything else, I do it on my laptop.

    Nowadays games that don’t run are rare but they still exist. One of my favorite games, BF1, sadly stopped working on Linux after they introduced anti cheat (on the other hand, at least now there are no cheaters spamming artillery)

    I also have a meta quest and the best software to link the headset to the PC, Virtual Desktop, sadly also doesn’t work on linux





  • Long story short, there were two main issues that people had with Epic:

    • they made exclusivity a thing inside pc platform (this was the main issue for most people)
    • Tim Sweeney is generally disliked

    The first issue speaks for itself. The second needs a bit more context.

    Tim Sweeney has an history of being arbitrary. One year he says one thing, the next another. Relevant to this case, Tim was openly against PC gaming back in the day, while Valve was pushing for PC gaming. We’re talking around 2010, where console gaming was predominant, most publisher favored consoles against PC. Valve at the time was one of the few companies betting on the PC platform.

    Now, he’s suddenly pro PC gaming. People see this as him doing a 180, and trying to take the spoils from Valve’s work.

    Then there were also some comments that he made that aged like milk, but generally speaking this is why people take an issue with Epic but not Steam
