  How about no?

  At this point, a preowned Steam Deck is so much cheaper than any next gen console might ever be. So the barrier to entry for PC gaming is even lower and from a customer perspective, we know what platform players should go for

  This will allow you to browse & contribute to projects hosted on other instances without having an account there. Imagine using the GitHub search to find a project on Gitlab, then opening an issue there without ever even leaving GitHub. The protocol is called ForgeFed.

  Well, the studio that brought us TS had been closed down in 2009 already. Deep Silver had opened a new studio under that name in 2021 (admittedly employing parts of the “old gang”), which is the one we’re now seeing getting shut down.

  This was a fun read! Bear in mind that this game has been 100 % multiplayer-focused, I have great memories of playing this online without ever even touching the campaign.

  Big +1 for Forgejo, also they are actively working on implementing Federation, i.e. in the future Forgejo servers will be able to exchange information as a federated network, just like good old Lemmy 😊 If you want to try the Toolchain (Forgejo+Woodpecker CI), it’s what Codeberg.org (run by the German nonprofit organization of the same name) offers freely.

  This is not a great comparison tbh. Unity are not distributing a resource, you could rather compare them to a company building the motor for the car you use. Even as the end customer, their product is clearly perceivable and distinguishable from competitors’ products. You don’t need to build cars to have an opinion on Unity motors and the ethics of their business. And if they fuck every contractor over and abuse their power in the market to retroactively charge additional fees for every time someone starts a car with their motor in it, of course you would be directly hit with the consequences as a customer. Therefore, it is justified to not leave this discussion to car manufacturers, but to 1. let unity motors know that they can go fuck themselves and 2. to support more ethical motor manufacturers in the future by buying cars built with them.

  Honestly, I’ve been playing quite a lot of SuperTuxKart recently and it is by any standards a great game! The amount of mods and skins is just the cherry on top.
