That's the joke.

I'm not your son.

It souds like this is literally your first step outside of windows.

Don't listen to any of these people, stick to dual boot, especially if your quality of life (I mean your hobbies) are tied to mastery of a known ecosystem of specific softwares.

Linux can work but you will need to compromise, and you will royally fuck up and unless you are embracing troubleshooting as an hobby you won't like it.

Dual booting allows you to have a safe harbor for when things go south.

I've had a dual boot for around 6 years and only this year I have, not deleted windows but set up my boot to default to linux (it used to be last OS booted).

I had to give up the quality of some audio filters for streaming, I coud not for the life of me figure out how to run a couple of specific games, I'm unable to uncompress big .exe archives (yarrr) in certain specific disks and after a year of smooth daily sailing I had my drivers go nuts and had to dive in and fix it, doing research on old shitty reliable windows.

Ok, in my mind it went like this:

You are a game dev and want to sell my game on steam, steam allows only games with at least 4 achievements to be eligible for distribution on their platform, you think of 4 achievement that more or less make sense for your game, you ship the game with the achievements.

You wouldn't have put the achievement there in your creative vision, but you did because Steam forced you to. The code is still under your control, but not really because contract.

Yes this is hypothetical, it's already being established this is NOT how steam operates, unlike other publishing platforms. Considering MOST games ship on multiple platforms, it make sense to put achievement in there to please xbox and leave them in for steam.

The same way you pay when you buy something. The fact that you reach for your wallet does not mean the store is mind controlling you into paying, they make it mandatory and so you comply.

Edit: to clarify, other people are saying this is not the case in Steam, but that for xbox and ps it is mandatory to ship games with achievements.

I think you guys are misunderstanding what Brits mean by that... They value both very little.

The fuck is a practicing atheist? Do they actively face nord every day at 3 pm and think really hard about how much there is no God for 3.14 minutes?

Contracts.

Are you free to ship a game with no achievements?

The dude was basically engaging with an Onion article. You can't save everybody.

I always figured it was something steam shoves down devs and/or players throat, since it's a bit of a dark pattern toward buying into their ecosystem.

Otherwise I would consider many many many devs deciding achievements are not their or their game's thing.

Do Devs decide achievements? Honest question.

Wifi in apps that have no reasonable need for it, because it's basically location.

So did Pope Pius XII, in a much more exhilarating manner considering the supposed sacrality of the thing, the firing of the doctor and the doctrine held by many that the body of popes do not decompose in their graves.

I can milk it for more going "I'm saving for a Hummer, I'm not settling for anything less of course. If I only had a couple hundred bucks more each month...".

My boss did joke about giving me a raise to get me a car and I'm all for it.

Since we are on the topic of missing clues, we share the same religion.

Also, assuming Christ was indeed a man that lived, we are biologically speaking cousins, just as we both are.

Checkmate fellow ateist.

The source I found seem to confirm specifically to the heart related issues, differentiating it from all-cause and cancer.

That would mean the quality of those research sucked.
