So you went from Chromebook to a cryptomalware infested PC?

I know you’re asking about Android, but it’s on Steam. Maybe it can be played remotely…?

I didn’t watch it so I had no idea it was about this but the thumbnail and the click bait title made me unsubscribe from him.

They wrote they got a new battery for it.

Not sure, it wasn’t very clear from the comment.

A stare and patience contest begins.

I am not a developer but don’t they have to state the engine at the beginning of the game? Really no idea, just guessing, as I’ve seen a lot of games with it.

Which ones do you recommend?

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I’m not a huge fan of the recent trend of guns and firing in mainstream video games. Besides the janky awkwardness of polygons, there’s something off-putting to me about my character engaging in deadly combat. Am I supposed to be pretending that it’s me as I watch the action happening? When I play a game (esp. an RPG) I can get really immersed in the experience and feel like the mouse/controller is an extension of my hand, shooting fireballs and whatnot. So is it also supposed to be an extension of my weapon when my character starts killing? Am I supposed to be fully engaged for maximum immersion?

In movies, it’s different because when a character in a movie engages in deadly combat, the audience understands that they’re watching someone else do it. I’ve never seen a movie where I’m supposed to pretend like I’m the main character and I’m the one doing the killing. (Hardcore Henry notwithstanding)

I have nothing against action-packed games or games with mature content as their own thing, but encountering it in a regular game always throws me out of the immersion. Coming from a mainstream studio, it also just feels like a desperate attempt to appeal to a certain audience more than anything else, even if it’s nothing more than a short murder.

I second this, Vampire survivors will kill 20 hours easily. I only got into it a month ago, purely because I have heard so much about it, and I like it as time killer, but also had a lot of fun with it.

Are you serious? I just told you that a moment ago.

I am not doubting you but could you share some sources?

Microsoft Excel - I tried a lot of the FOSS office suites but I always come back mainly due to familiarity but also compatibility (which I know is not much of an issue lately).

Google Photos - I have Immich setup and use it but my wife and people around me use Photos and so I have to conform.

“Pixel OS” - I can’t move to Graphene or similar due to banking apps.

Skype - Like Photos, due to relatives

You should give it another go now then. Gaming on Linux is very good nowadays with many games supporting the OS directly (even more now thanks to SteamDeck) and there are many ways to run even games that don’t. Also, there is a lot of Linux distributions that are extremely easy to setup and maintain.

Didn’t watch the video but is it worth to wait for the updates (and the DLC) if I tried playing the game on day one but got put off by bugs and lack of content that was promised? I know there have been multiple patches that fixed bugs and gameplay but I am still reluctant to even give it a try.

Yep. They’ll just collect as much new data as possible and then shut it down.

Got it, thank you, I’ll check it out.

How’s your experience on lobste.rs? I am on quite a few of these platforms at the moment, trying to see which one I like the most, not sure if I want to add another one to the mix, but I like the minimal layout

I have one for you too

I can
