  Article littered with affiliate links.

  And it also doesn’t make sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they’re trying to get potential players of Elder Scrolls VI so hyped that they’ll still play the new game even if it’s sold ‘games as a service’ style

  in which case, fuck that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d love to see a user-friendly, easily-implemented FOSS alternative to the entire Android system.

  The options that exist now often can’t get past all the defenses that Android and phone manufacturers put into systems to secure their own data collection/revenue. I have an older Motorola phone that I literally can’t install another operating system on.

  We desperately need a stable, user-friendly, and hardware-adaptive replacement for Android. I don’t want that shit on my phones any longer.

  Shit, I remember degaussing monitors. I also remember picking up a power supply I was working on before lunch, not remembering that I had powered it on earlier to test it, and the shock throwing me against the wall.

  Ah, the good old days.

  Yep. A Linux build + Firefox (with Privacy Badger and ublock origin plugins)

  Yes. But, we are conscious beings and we can choose our spoonness.

  Are you trying to accomplish something? Some work you need to do? Be like spoon. You have one purpose—to accomplish that objective.

  Choose to be like spoon, and have a blessed day.

  Now I’m imagining this too.

  This game is so good. I hope Larian builds something even better for their next go.

  Fuck no.

  Fuck all these motherfuckers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exclusive: Google will develop the Android OS fully in private, and here's why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck, looks like it’s time to start looking at more alternatives to Android phones.

  Already got an old one rooted. We need a solid Linux alternative or potentially a European company to start development.

  If any of y’all know of a good, usable platform, I’d love to know about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good to exercise at home instead of gym?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Kettlebells! Kettlebells are a great tool to have for home workouts. You might want to start with a lighter one–even if you’ve worked out some, you can still wear yourself out with even a 35 lb. kettlebell.

  The story is really what makes it so good–you start to feel invested in the character, in the world, and that helps with getting deeply immersed in the gameplay. It’s an incredibly well written game.

  Beyond that, the screenshots show a lot–it’s a world that feels very lived-in.

  Also the gameplay is a ton of fun. Open world, lots of places to explore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 236 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree.

  I also just can’t really play games that force me to think about my bank account while I’m playing, charging fees or subscription rates just to fully participate in the game, like seeing a bounty hunting mission that requires me to send money before I can start it. Totally breaks the immersion–I play games so I don’t have to think about the real world for a bit. Making me enter bank details wrecks that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 236 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved playing this game.

  The online version of it fucking sucks though.

  Is this a free trial followed by a monthly subscription?
