Assetto Corsa is pretty cheap right now. I saw it and it seems interesting. Would you recommend it to someone who wants something more casual? (I don’t mean arcade, but not something I need equipment and a lot of time for.) I’d probably play with a controller, but I do have a wheel with force-feedback and pedals, but I’m not sure they work on Linux (and I don’t use Windows anymore), and I’d prefer not setting it up.

3 - Satisfactory (sorry, Factorio fans)

Everything is are good choices. It’s surprising you made the wrong one here. Even if you like the base game of Satisfactory better, for some crazy reason, keep in mind we get mods. Factorio has a modding scene as good as Skyrim, or maybe better. There are essentially totally new games available as mods for Factorio. Also, let’s say you’re a total expert after decades of playing it. There are mods that crank up the difficulty/complexity to the point where it takes thousands of hours to complete. It’s clearly the superior choice.

There’s also the NSA PRISM, which is older than the current LLM garbage. It’s just a basic ass name that makes for a good pun on something that changes how you see things.

Thanks for running the best instance!

That doesn’t hurt BG3, and Larian has been adding free content to BG3 over time, so really the longer you wait the better it’ll be. Still, it’s definitely worth the price. It’s a pretty long game, and good for the entire duration. Its also pretty replayable.

Discord has quite a few good features that IRC doesn’t. I will agree that it being used as a replacement for a forum, while also being unsearchable, is amazingly stupid. However, it’s used by almost everyone for a reason, and to ignore that (if you were to develop and alternative) ensures you won’t succeed. Yeah, we don’t need every feature from Discord, but easy voice/text channels, image/file sharing, and all the other useful things are required. Yeah, we can probably lose the emotes and crap and be fine.
