where do you buy the pc version to play any of them
unfortunately, the game is no longer being sold, you might find a copy on the second hand market, or maybe an internet archive.

- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 3 weeks ago:
Back when Randall Munroe released his “What if” in eBook format, it essentially was only available with DRM.
When I emailed him about it, asking for a place to buybit without DRM, he responded with DRM being mandatory by his publisher, and finished his email with a link to this comic of his:
xkcd.com/488/ - Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 3 weeks ago:
I bought a kindle when amazon sold them for a special price of 25 Euro. It’s a cool device for reading books, but I found their UI horrendously cluttered and filled with “suggestions” instead of focusing on the content I already have. I have since jailbroken the device and am using koreader on the device to read my ebooks transfered as epubs via calibre.
That has the advantage that when I buy DRM-free books in epub format, I am not relying on amazon to properly convert the file to a kindle proprietary format.

Borderlands 4 is better than Borderlands 4, but not even half as good as Borderlands 4.
Looking forward to the sequel, Borderlands 4.

- Comment on What are you guys using to sort and name music? 5 weeks ago:
My workflow is:
-Musicbrainz Picard to get all the information from an online database
-clean up the tags with kid3 (Linux), rename files and folders
-use mp3gain to “normalize” all songs to the same level, so I don’t have to constantly adjust the volume. - Comment on In a week dominated by Silksong and Borderlands, co-op roguelike Shape of Dreams still managed to launch on Steam as an instant top-seller 5 weeks ago:
I can’t find any info about a blanket ban on idle/clicker games, and quite frankly, I don’t see why valve would ban them.
For them, it’s free money:
- the developer has to pay a flat fee for the game to appear on the storefront
- the developer has to pay an additional fee to enable community items
- both the developer as well as valve receive a percentage cut of the sale price in the community marketplace
- Comment on In a week dominated by Silksong and Borderlands, co-op roguelike Shape of Dreams still managed to launch on Steam as an instant top-seller 5 weeks ago:
my guess is that a lot of people let the game idle in the background to farm items, that’s why it’s so “popular”. It’s not “active players”, it’s just a large number of people farming items in the hopes to get one they can sell for a larger sum.
Afaik it has been in the top charts for over a year. - Comment on In a week dominated by Silksong and Borderlands, co-op roguelike Shape of Dreams still managed to launch on Steam as an instant top-seller 5 weeks ago:
Banana (which I’ve never even heard of and I have no clue why it’s that popular).
It’s an idle/clicker game that drops steam items that can, theoretically, be sold for money. I can’t recommend it.

Not just the price, but a worthy price. I find it ironic that he himself has now been victim of a school shooting.
- Comment on It's Not Just You: Music Streaming Is Broken Now 5 weeks ago:
The Bitrate part was a joke, yes. 96k is low, although I just remembered a special mp3 codec from NERO that allowed for such low bitrate, at the same perceived sound quality as 128kbps.
But obviously, all my CDs have been ripped as either V2, V0 or 320kbps - I personally have not noticed any difference to FLAC files with either of those qualities.
- Comment on It's Not Just You: Music Streaming Is Broken Now 5 weeks ago:
honestly, most of my CDs have been used once: Put in a PC and ripped (to 96kbps MP3s, of course!)

- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 2 months ago:
I don’t think we can count the AUR repository as the “default package” because:
- AUR is a community driven project, for users, by users.
- Arch user needs to explicitely get out of their way to access and use AUR
- AUR repos are not even packages (usually). They are build-instructions. There are specific -bin repos that provide packaged binaries, but that was not the case here, because the emulators license doesn’t allow that.

First of all:
I hope your health improves. While I tend to not read the entirety of your writeups, I always skim them and then read the details on topics that are interesting. It would be a shame to not find your posts on lemmy anymore, as I prefer the interaction over a microblogging service like mastodon.as for your question
…have you picked up any games? What have you bought,
I have picked up:
- Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for 3,99€
- Supermoves for 0,77€
- Mirage Feathers for 2,99€
- a bunch of DLC for Vampire Survivors.
Crash Bandicoot is at an all-time-low price, if you haven’t picked it up in a humblebundle years ago, now might be your chance.
Another game I can recommend is “Beyond: Two Souls”, which is available for 1,99€ on Steam. It’s a great story driven game, with multiple endings and great acting. You might also want to get “Detroit: Become Human”, a very similar title in terms of gameplay.

maybe we should find another sollution than having women store money in their bras?
As a conservative, I propose women should no longer be allowed to handle money, when they go outside they need to be accompanied by their husband or father, who will handle their money for them. That way, women are also unable to spend money on useless shit like birth control, pads etc. and can use it to buy proper stuff, like beer and meat!
