The federated decentralized nature of Lemmy and it being open-source means that when this happens the users laugh at whoever paid for an instance and celebrate whoever got the bag and all migrate to a new instance.
See AdBlock -> AdBlock + -> Ublock -> Unlock Origin for a story of idiot capitalists donating massive sums of money only to buy a product that is quite literally drop-in replaceable by design… and Lemmy makes this process even easier than that.
Do you have access to a computer that could either play ports of those games or is strong enough to emulate those games?
This would be my answer to that question
In fact I’d come up with a list of all the exclusives that you’re interested in playing and use that in your reasoning as well.
Portal: Reloaded
I think it’s the single best puzzle game ever created and the fact that it’s a free Portal 2 mod is astounding.
AV1 when available for everything other than 3d content which is ideally x265.
Honestly it blows my mind that x264 is still as popular as it is.
Strictly because the tooling doesn’t exist in an easy enough way to go from blu-ray -> full-sbs encode at this point.
I’m constrained by knowledge to only use tools like BD3D2MK3D to create full-sbs encode in x265 which I watch in VR.
If AV1 were an option in this tool I’d consider it, but the additional encoding time might not be worth it to me as the person actually encoding the files.
If anyone has knowledge of F-SBS or F-OU AV1 content or tooling please let me know as I’d be glad to learn.
Yes- the court is an illegitimate anti-democratic institution and the long-term goal should be its abolishment.
It is the final tool of the American oligarchs to prevent needed structural change in the country.
Anything to highlight this is a good thing. Playing ping-pong with court expansion would be great to accelerate its necessary demise.
