We've now also released the transpiler as open source. The original Hoi Amiga Assembly files are included to prove it's working.

#Steam became the #iTunes of #Gaming because #Valve already back then knew how to make the whole experience as frictionless as possible.

- With their #Prepaid #Vouchers being globally available, buying games even in cash-centric societies is convenient and fast.

Every other #GameStore / #Platform felt like a #NetNegative by comparison...

#Advertising in #Gaming just doesn't work...

- Already we see now #Streaming makes itself #unattractive and make #Piracy the better option because of #Greedflation...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcoq6I-nhuk&t=741s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcoq6I-nhuk&t=810s

#Amazon fails at #Gaming not because of #Money, but because of #Greed and their unwillingness to accept why people choose #Stream and that this is not even a matter of #Pricing but #ServiceCulture.

- And #Service is something Amazon hates because they hate #WageWorkers or having to take #responsibility!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcoq6I-nhuk&t=990s

At which level of #incompetence and #SelfSabotage of one's competitior's is a #monopoly justified?

- Cuz #Microsoft demanding 30% profit from #Xbox [when #Valve at best has 30% revenue split from sales] is just absurd...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcoq6I-nhuk&t=487s

Espechally when the upcoming #Xbox is rumored to be just a #PC [similar to the #SteamMachine] but literally shipping with #Steam preinstalled.

- Okay, that sounds absurd but then again the absurd idiocy at the helm of Microsoft makes this sadly realistic. See the cancellation of the #MicrosoftOffice brand in favour of #MicrosoftCopilot which is only topped by renaming #Twitter into #X because #Musk is #StillMad that #PayPal's main investor, #PeterThiel didn't choose it to be named #Xcom!

All #GabeN needs to do for #Valve to dominate is continue *NOT* abusing the paying customers on Steam and do what people love the platform for...

- Obviously being against #NFTs isn't due to moral objections but because Valve doesn't like being bypassed for anything...

And that is what all the other publishers and platforms ignore, with #Nintendo having fully left any understanding behind when #Iwata and #Reggie left...

#Economy #Gaming #Industry #Entertainment #GamingIndustry #EntertainmentIndustry #Enshittification #Greedflation #Greed #Xbox #PlayStation #PCgaming

Of course #Gaming is competing with #AntisocialMedia in terms of #Attention and #Time...

- But as with any #Entertainment, we can be very shure that "yet another #subscription / #LiveService #Game" isn't the solution.

Whereas making #good #Games (or any good Entertainment for that matter) is.

As someone who is 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 with hardware design, this one basically won me right from the start. There's a beautifully designed hinge which rotates the touch screen from the default cube shape, into revealing controls underneath

My laptop is getting fresh install of an atomic distro because the constant Arch rolling release hose of updates is bothersome.

I don't need that for the laptop, my desktop benefits from that the most. I can already potentially see myself getting out of sync with updates...If I forget. Installing an Atomic Distro is best in the end and leaving one on there because the damn thing could run it like a champ for its lifetime!

After I get the laptop set up, I can get back into Vintage Story and do the base floor plan before more material grinding.

As I need a little more copper before I can get an anvil online (got so much charcoal from my first charcoal pit, so I'll be set for a long time). Once I can make some shears, my stick problem will be solved. I can also gather more seeds to replant. All the other materials are going to be a breeze to gather, as I will get soil via digging the base footprint.

Also from redoing my entire rude hovel area because it needs some TLC since I got a copper pickax and other tools. Can't wait to smith the scythe for faster grass harvesting. 🤩
