insane platforms like Telegram

Is telegram considered insane? It's basically just a messaging app that people can form group chats in.

WB doubled down, after Suicide Squad failed horribly and Hogwarts Legacy sold fantastically they decided they needed to stop making games like Hogwarts to focus on more live service games.

Huh, that's super weird. I never realized the Steam flatpak wasn't official.

That was just the Yuzu/Citra team. Main reason they got in trouble (from what I understand) is that they were making money off of it, specifically people had to subscribe to their patreon to get Tears of the Kingdom optimized builds, when the only copy of TotK available was an illegal pre-release one.

There were some more things like messages they sent that were incriminating, but that was the biggest thing afaik.

Yeah, not saying it's not scummy business. It probably can be a decent treatment for non-serious conditions if the placebo effect gives the patient relief, but any serious condition will need real treatment.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

People know that they can get a placebo treatment, but they don't know if they actually got a placebo or the real treatment. They're also generally hoping both that they got the real treatment, and that the real treatment will make things better.

Maybe calling it deception isn't fully accurate, but the the point is that they're given something they hope is medicine, but in reality it's the placebo treatment.

Placebos only work if the people think they'll work. Funnily enough, it is possible to be aware something is a placebo and still expect it to work, but generally placebos involve some deception where the person thinks they're receiving real treatment.

So yes, people selling homeopathic remedies are going to claim they're real treatments, both to convince people to buy them, and because they'll be most effective if people think they're real. And the people buying them will also be the people who believe they're actually effective, causing them to actually have an effect.

Usually these laws have somewhat neutered benefits though. Even though employees may have a right to ignore calls/texts/etc, the company can still decide to let you go (for "unrelated reasons") or promote other people instead. If they don't explicitly say they're doing it as retaliation for refusing to communicate after hours, you can't really hold them accountable.

Right, I would just assume bringing it to other handhelds is the first step in it having universal hardware support.

Found it, see this reddit post here.

it's basically setting up a virtual menu where button 1 is: A -> wait 60ms S -> wait 60ms S -> wait 60ms SPACE etc etc.

Here's a link straight to the controller config: steam://controllerconfig/1966720/3142322044 You can easily open this by sending this link in a steam message, and then clicking on the link from inside game mode.

A steam deck beta update from the past week or two that they were working on adding support for the ROG Ally. The verge asked valve about it, and they confirmed they're actively working on making it support other handheld PCs.
