Yeah, it’ll be bad. Already felt like a F2P

I think they came to the wrong conclusion. Yes those games were cheaper, but really they were just good, and mostly finished at launch. Didn’t feel like we were nickle and dimed for more DLC or season passes or mtxs, we got whole games that were fun.

All the big “AAA blockbuster” games anymore are reskinned, half finished versions of the last version, and the only thing they’ve put a ton of time into is analyzing how to get addicts hooked and spending the maximum amount on micro transactions.

Super broad generalization, yes.

That’s one of the biggest things valve has contributed to for the Linux community, unshitifying gaming on Linux. Proton does an amazingly good job at working on most games. And steam does a great job of making it easier to use proton.

Now there are always a few problem games, mainly ones that use some crazy kernel level anti-cheat (that doesn’t work anyways). But if you’re curious look at https://www.protondb.com/

The US Military also uses IRC, is that the future too? I’m sick of the ridiculous Signal hate with basically no good reason. Basically everything is run in AWS, or Azure, or Google cloud. All the governments have contracts with those cloud providers, because almost every organization large enough has things in the cloud.

Obfuscation is not meant to be foolproof. Without something like the Tor network (oh wait, the NSA and other organizations have already taken over that) WHO you talk to is not hard to determine. If someone is monitoring ALL network traffic in the world, they’ll know who is talking to who everywhere. But with good end to end encryption and no server side logging recording who you talk to, that’s definitely a good enough combo for me.

XMPP is certainly not a bad protocol, but I’m not seeing a reason to justify the Signal hate.

Here’s hoping!

Absolutely watched both. Enjoyed both of them a lot. Wasn’t quite the same, still, great shows

I liked the new season so far. But like anything, searching for nostalgia is never going to work. It’ll never hit like it did when you were 20 years younger and watching the show for the first time

We have to be intolerant of intolerance. The paradox of tolerance is a great read.
