Mint, because Ubuntu Cinnamon sucks

California? You need to tell me your dealer, because I'd like to have an ounce of what you're smoking. At least we give our citizens healthcare.

Consoles are a walled garden - the only reason they can do what they do is because of the lack of options for the customer to use their hardware.

PCs are the only gaming platform (apart from perhaps smartphones) that have an open framework untouchable by publishers or game platforms. You don't have to publish with Sony and Microsoft, and the majority don't.

Unless your console has homebrew, you will always be screwed by the platform holder.

I never really trusted any sort of MMORPG that wasnt able to be community hosted with my time. It always ends up being a rugpull.

Edit: For that matter, add survival games/Open world multi-player games without community servers to that statement.

I knew that book was solid when my father said it was too radical lol

Can you rephrase the question? I'm not sure if you're referring to the sanitized version we are taught, or the other side of history that is withheld.

There's nuance that you're not including. VAC and game bans are dependent on a per game basis, and don't apply to ALL multi-player servers, just "VAC secured servers" (which makes sense if you got banned by Valve Anti-Cheat), with the sole exception being Valve games that utilize the same underlying engine for their multi-player (CS:Source and TF2, GoldSrc games, so on...) with the same restrictions.

You can still play VAC and other anti-cheat supported multi-player with games not related to your ban, but you will still have VAC bans on record on your profile, which people may cite to kick you.

All of this (apart from the social stigma) is plainly documented on Steam Support:
