I’m in the same spot. Even made a Lemmy account just so I can block communities. Then I go to technology/linux/memes communities and guess what? It’s american politics all over. And don’t even get me started on Reddit, at that point subreddits don’t even matter anymore. Even on the subreddit related to my own country in eastern Europe, every day I see a ton of pointless “Trump news”. And mods justification is always “it’s TOTALLY related to our country because US politics impacts the entire world”. Like, what’s the point anymore? We might as well talk about Trump and Musk in the plants or lego community.

Monster Hunter Rise, Code Vein, State of Decay 2, there were some others but that’s all I can remember right now.

It makes me so mad when I see game on steam feature “online co-op” and in reality the co-op in game is “join your friend and help him sometimes as a guest” Dark Souls style. I swear me and my friend had to refund like 5 games recently just because it turned out all of them had that. Now we just play Valheim while waiting for something good to drop.

I think there’s a good chance that a lot of the knowledge we have today could be lost entirely if civilization collapses to a certain degree just due to how we store it.

We do have some backups.

I got amazon prime mostly for the free games, it’s pretty much a steal in my country (if you pay for one year it’s about $1 a month) and I still have to pirate things that are available in the prime video. Why? Because I use Linux and amazon won’t allow me to play videos in 1080p. Only 480p is available.

do a bad thing

get caught

oops, it was just an error

repeat

It’s fine when we do it!

Valve should use it’s position on the market for something good and straight up not allow single player games to use external launchers. I’m buying the game on Steam so I just want to play, not make yet another 3rd party account and then pray the 3rd party launcher will work fine on Linux.
