@ElfSlice STOP MAKING ME WANT THAT GAME. I don't want to buy on Desura, because that would mean that I would have more of those DRM things. And I'm too lazy to properly setup paypal to buy from the official site.

Q: What are the benefits to taking a concubine as a pagan in CK2?

When playing as a Pagan ruler with the Old Gods expansion in Crusader Kings 2, one of the options for female prisoners is to take them as a concubine. As far as I can tell, the only likely effect of this is to have more heirs, which is more often than not a disadvantage where Gavelkind is, and as...

Except for the odd game which says 'requires steam to run' everything you buy on Desura also comes with a DRM-Free download.

@ElfSlice Oh wow! I'm really surprised.

IT's more like the GOG downloader

ElfSlice

@Arperum Kind of, except if you install stuff through Desura you can take the game files and put them on other PCs. They don't have DRM.

Macha

You can uninstall Desura afterwards and still run the game, afaik

Ullallulloo

@ElfSlice How do you download those?

ElfSlice

The Desura client actually sucks balls. The website is excellent though, and it lets you download direct.

@Ullallulloo I guess you just get a Steam key.

I haven't bought any of those.

@Macha Yeah. You don't even need the client to download them.

The Desura client is broken and shitty, but if you just use the website for everything it's fantastic.

Ullallulloo

Oh I see them.

The client's pretty nice, but that's good to know.

ElfSlice

I much prefer the community features to those of Steam.

@Ullallulloo Are you kidding me, the client is horrible

Heh, that's true.

And things can be judged objectively good and still not be enjoyable for someone for whatever reason.

@and What is the difference between returning one thing with many components and returning many individually? None at all. The part where you can only return one element from Y is easily sidestepped by having f from X to P(Y), set of all possible subsets of Y. You may be thinking about non-functions like, say, y = ±√(1 - x²) (the circle), but it's trivial to turn that into a function: f(x) = (+ √(1 - x²), - √(1 - x²)). I'm sure you can come up with all kinds of degenerate cases, but the principle remains true in all practical cases. — badp 2 mins ago

I'm basically a hero, because now we don't need to listen to people saying "maybe it's not piracy!"

I'm also now wearing clothes.

Q: How can I fix stuttering and lag issues in Deus Ex HR Director's Cut?

Just got this game of the sale, looking forward to playing it. Unfortunately, I've received massive stutering and lag issues. I have a pretty amazing gaming rig, as I can run BL2, AC4 at max to high settings with no stutter. So this shouldn't be an issue for me. From what I can tell online, t...

I'm not fully clothed too!

No gloves, scarf, shoes, hat, handkerchief, tie, bow, earwarmers or skirt.

user15026

No skirt? Oh my.

badp

I do have trousers though.

FAE

Steam to allow publishers to disable cross region gifting. Well... this sucks.

eh

I mean, Steam already allows publishers to attach their EULAs to their game, technically arbitrarily restricting your rights and Valve features

for example, Final Fantasy 7's EULA is incompatible with Family Sharing

I don't think this incompatibility is enforced, but you're still technically breaching in an easy-to-check-for/enforce (custom "log in to Square Enix" wrapper?) fashion.

@FAE To be fair, it makes sense. It'll be exploited, no doubt, but it makes sense. I mean, the separate regions exist for a reason.

Wandang

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

how are we germans supposed to get censorfree software

badp

@FEichinger Most of those reasons suck.

e.g. staggered release dates.

e.g. enforcing 1 € = 1 $

Wandang

but you guys get the full software
