  • (not super important but overlooked here) The “horse” is a woman

    I'm sorry for accidentally misgendering a grown adult who's still naked with a young girl riding on top. I guess that triggers a different fetish then.

    (definitely important) The scene was only an unfinished scene still being worked out

    True but they still thought it was a great idea to depict this scene and then only change their minds not because they realized their mistake but because it works better with an adult doing the riding story-wise.

    I definitely think Valve should have handled this more fairly.

    The reviewer asked for a playable copy after being unsure from screenshots and text alone. I think that's pretty fair.

  • Never heard of them, nothing of value lost

    Me neither but popular doesn't necessarily good or unknown doesn't mean bad but to first come up with a scene of a young girl riding a naked man, then to model this, and in al that time not thinking that this depiction is seriously fucked up (they only changed this scene later because the scene “works much better when delivered by an older character.”

  • moralists see nudity and think it can only represent sex - meanwhile, by the screenshots, it represents dehumanization.

    Except in the review build submitted to Valve there was a young child riding that naked man.

  • Feels like some key piece of information is omitted here tbh

    You mean the key information im the middle of the article that I quoted in a comment 15 minutes before yours?

  • In the early build reviewed by Valve, day six featured a scene in which a man and his young daughter visit the farm. The daughter wants to ride one of the horses, resulting in an interactive dialogue sequence where the girl rides on the shoulders of a naked "horse" while it's led by the player.

    Young girl interacts with naked man and you saw no problem with it...

    "The scene is not sexual in any way,"

    Maybe not to you but that doesn't change the content of what you submitted to Valve.

    the young character was changed into a twenty-something woman. "Both to avoid the juxtaposition," it explains, "and more importantly because the dialogue delivered in that scene, which deals with the societal structure in the world of Horses, works much better when delivered by an older character."

    Cool, the review build still featured a young girl riding a naked man and you thought that was a great idea...

  • Ordentliches Brot ist geil, aber kann der als Kanzler keine Backmischung zubereiten lassen?

  • Maybe I'm missing something but what's the connection to SteamOS? Did I accidentally skip a paragraph that explains how to use it on Steam Deck?

  • How is that an SoC feature?

  • It's not really enshittification when "Google reads your mail" has been the entire point since the launch of GMail. Relevant ads, grouping mails into topics, find spam, etc. has always been the selling point of GMail.

  • Proton runs on SLR.

  • Can anyone eli5 what the steam runtime actually does?

    It's the thing that actually runs your games.

  • Sounds like they’re leaving the option open for Android developers to make their APK distributions compatible with Steam to play on Frame.

    It was first reported months ago that Valve is involved with Waydroid (Android app compatibility for Linux with Wayland) and then at the Frame announcement confirmed to ship on Frame.

    This could also potentially mean that Steam itself comes to Android (at least in the EU) to allow cross-buy and cross-progression.

  • Kann mir jemand erklären wieso ein Brief geheim sein darf, Chatnachrichten aber nicht?

    Das eine wird von Kinderschändern und Terroristen benutzt, das andere nicht. IST DOCH LOGISCH!

  • Does it not come to you that someone might have never even heard of DF?

    These few people can just watch a few minutes of the video and get the gist of it.

  • Google is developing a Linux runtime for Android, Valve are making an ARM version of Steam, so it could be usable but I don't think it'll light the world on fire.

  • Sure, you get an A for answering the question, but my point was that the hate they get today on Linux is misguided because people only have vague or non-specific complaints.

    Not learning from the past means repeating the same mistakes. I see little evidence that NVidia's overall approach changed. It's always that everyone has to adapt to their way of doing things and rarely that NVidia seek collaboration first. That's why it has taken years and three entirely different memory management technologies.

    With NVidia it's always "This is the last piece of technology and then everything will be perfect." ExplicitSync is only the latest episode. Now that ExplicitSync is there, compatibility on Linux is still a crapshoot with NVidia.

    When Nvidia announced that they were going to move the proprietary parts of their driver into the GPU firmware, and open source the kernel module, there was a lot of hate about how they’re being assholes for not releasing the whole thing as open source, relying on proprietary blobs, etc. Yet that’s stupid, because it’s literally the exact same thing AMD and Intel do for their much beloved drivers.

    Where is the closed source user space of Intel and AMD drivers? It doesn't exist because they use Mesa for the best possible compatibility. NVidia don't. I've read comments by people bashing the recent Baldur's Gate 3 Linux release and being full of graphics glitches. Then they list their hardware as proof how great it is and they all have NVidia GPUs.

  • Yes, but as the sidebar says, it's only a non-binding recommendation.

  • as long as people remember to use flairs.

    Lemmy doesn't have flairs.
