If I hold onto it it's just in the vain hope that sega will remove EAC from the game but I have zero hope of that happening because the public is massively uneducated about how bad kernel-level anti-cheats really are.

As long as product works for them it's "fuck you got mine" all day long sadly

I'd seen people get refunded for shit like psn accounts getting roofied into helldivers 2 after tons of people bought it so that's what I was going for.

Anyway, it's SUPER not okay for companies to change the terms of the sale AFTER purchase. I kinda want to delete it from my account but Idk

I love valve and I love steam, and it's not the worst loss ($17) but I am nonetheless disappointed that I was not refunded for a product that straight up no longer works on my os. I did my best to explain that I bought the game to play on the steam deck but it is what it is there.

I literally just found out yesterday that vf5 on steam got fucking roofied (back in november) with EAC that ALSO fucking requires TPM 2.0 which ruins the linux compatibility.

So I went and requested a refund and steam denied me unfortunately. One thing's for sure, I am NOT buying vf6 on pc.

Job hunting be like, no one ever calls you back or you interview a couple times with no follow-ups after, and then finally once you ARE working is when you get a ton of job offers in your inbox.

Valve suggests possible further delay to Steam Machine and Steam Frame:

"We hope to ship in 2026, but as we shared recently, memory and storage shortages have created challenges for us. We'll share updates publicly when we finalize our plans!"

Point is, don't take ranked seriously and FFS to the FT1 bitches out there, no one gives the tiniest iota of a fuck about your rank!

You think I showed up to evo going around telling people "Btw I'm a master jamie player" and expecting to get cheers? No I'm expecting to drown in pools actually lmao

Of course that is my subjective experience, even if it does happen pretty consistently.

Reaching fujin or whatever it was on tekken 7 years ago, being a top 10 poison on ps3 sf4, hitting vip smash with ryu/terry, none of it means anything to me. But those status' all marked the end of my fun

Typically I find that as soon as I rank up high enough, rank stops being fun because I run into some fucken hoes where if I:

-Win: Quit match 1 to preserve points
-Lose: Quit match 1 because I'm not worth their time

Doesn't seem to matter but GETTING FT2 is sadly not normal at higher ranks.

Moreover, your rank points DON'T MATTER, they never have and never will.

If I remember this right, there was a point in time when arturo sanchez (barf I know) was really high ranked on sf5 and it gave him an ego trip so bizarre he traveled to Japan thinking he'd blow them up, got owned instead.

THANK YOU, I've been shouting for a while that ranked isn't a good way to gauge where you really are in your game's competitive world.

It's still good competition if the other player gives you the FT2 win or lose (aka not being a lil bitch) & MU exp, but it doesn't prepare you for the actual scene.

My pet peeve is management that holds that kind of time against the agents as if anyone can control how fast the customer does anything
