I’m speculating but I bet they didn’t expect so many people to care about it. With the current state of cs2 and it being so tied to them milking the skin market for money, I’ll bet someone high up said pull the plug just in case.

Nay. Too many distractions or boring tropes of open world games.

I am on a mission to go from a to b. I pick up all items or resources I can along the way. I encounter enemy x often and enemy y not so often. It’s ok for certain types of games but can become tedious after repetition.

It must be.

Kingdom come deliverance 2 is not even a bad game but how can it be number 7? It’s been out for two months… it’s hardly influenced anything. The first one would make more sense but only because of the dedication the team put into making it. Bizarre entry, and while I don’t agree with shenmue being more influential than doom, super Mario bros or even sonic for that matter, I guess I never played it that much when it came out.

Even Celeste dev did it

Company of heroes, the original version. Still a very good game and unlike the two sequels, is not so dlc heavy and is more about tactics than just spamming tanks and landmines, though I still sometimes do that.

3700 hours. You must have committed a lot of crimes against humanity.

That’s fair. Personally I should have called it quits when they started including pocket in the browser, but better late than never.

It may be overblown but I am seriously tired of the way Mozilla is being run. The CEO has a $7 million salary. Big red flags always appear each time they increase the salary also. May be a bit hyperbolic but that’s why I’m just using another fork after 20 years

Developers want to cash out. Company going public. Will most likely have to do some things to keep investors happy, involving what is now known as enshittification.

I was basing what I said on the http.py file:

while True:
                try:
                    # Download and write
                    data_block = ctx.data.read(block_size if not is_test else min(block_size, data_len - byte_counter))
                except TransportError as err:
                    retry(err)

                byte_counter += len(data_block)

I might still be wrong but that’s how I thought it downloaded any video file over http

Edit. After reading the code a bit more I see that you were correct.

yt-dlp streams those chunks into the final file tbh so it should be fine.

I was wrong about this part. I doubt the isp would do anything about it though, just for different reasons

I believe the request to the server is the same as if you were watching it. It just runs the file from their server to your browser, with yt-dlp it sends a request to the server file the same way a browser does. You can view the source code which is well commented if you are able to understand python. The function is in yt-dlp/downloader/http.py

After rereading the code, it’s not quite the same but I wouldn’t worry about the isp

This is what I would suggest. Very unique art style and still memorable all these years later.

I know it’s their legal defense and all, but it’s not like any of us thought they would seed in the first place. Their business is only about taking for profit, not sharing or giving anything back.

I used to use opensuse and it was always a solid distro. I switched to manjaro after because I wanted to try an arch based system, that was not arch btw, it was also solid. I have settled on fedora though for many years now and I doubt I’ll ever switch again. At least for me, it does give better performance in games like csgo/2, not as good as windows but I also didn’t have any issues with the last of us, after a few patches anyway. Red dead redemption 2 runs better than on windows with fedora (for me).

I use fedora btw.

Quick review:

‘tis shite

Try fedora. More stability than any other os I’ve ever tried. Have had it running on all my machines for maybe 6 years now and not one issue, including with gaming (csgo/cs2 for 5k+ hours).
