untrue. some people may have assumed the talk has always been about drm free games, but the thread’s contents do not support that. besides, some games have drm on steam but not on gog. factorio is a prime example.

their eula does not state that you do not own the games.

points two and three are for different things.

where

??? ??? ???

yeah those files were encrypted in some way that required the steam client to unlock, if i recall.

we are not. you are. the starter of this comment chain noted that gog guarantees, as part of their offer, that the games you download are drm-free. steam does not. your reply to that said nothing about drm, leading us all to the conclusion that you were saying “you can download files for games on steam just like you can on gog”, rather than what you were apparently saying, which was that “for the games on steam that do not have drm you can download files just like you can with all games on gog”.

steam. note that i said “a game”, not “a drm-free game”.

yes there are drm-free games on steam. this does not disprove their point. steam’s first role was as drm for half life 2. steam stops working if you don’t log in periodically.

huh? that’s not even what gog sells itself on. gog offers offline installers. steam takes care of installation itself. you can’t download a game from steam, put it on a usb drive, give it to someone else, and have confidence that they will be able to run it.

oh? how?

i mean the dlc easily quadruples the length of the game, soooooo

yeah the rules are in the article. they are all phrased very oppressively, basically boiling down to “you are not to think that you are better than us”. that is, you will be judged for even attempting to stand out or better yourself above those around you. it’s basically the opposite side of “a rising tide lifts all ships”: “no ship rises by itself”. note that there is nothing in “a fugitive crosses his tracks” about actually making things better. it’s all about accepting the misery of the status quo, as exemplified by the unwritten eleventh rule: “do you not think we know things about you?”

in short, be humble and content or we’ll come for you.

it’s a crystallisation of the… platzgeist? of small nordic towns and the reason why so few people move away. on some level it’s pride in your home, on another it’s the shame of knowing you abandoned it.

this rubs me the wrong way. the janteloven is too deeply ingrained for me to take any pleasure in these stats when they are presented like this.

the whole printer has only been used since january, and all the nozzles are hardened steel. so i don’t think anything has gone wonky with the hardware yet.

but switching to another head is a good idea. i’ll try doing that.

that’s… just most movie theaters. the us is a very weird exception, not the rule.

this disproves flat earth because the sea is up

yeah i figured that out. i ran some intermediates without and i thought the bumps were small enough that the ironing would smooth them out completely, but no.

i did that for my latest test and i don’t know if it helped, but the default flow for this filament is insanely high compared to the default pla settings.

good tip!
