YouTubers really are the way to go. For me, there’s no better way to see if I want to play a game than watching someone play it.

And for story games best played blind, I go by word of mouth.

Yep. There are people who can vote who were born after Portal came out XD

OpenDesk seems more aimed at municipalities and larger orgs, whereas cryptpad is better for smaller orgs - the 1000 user “large” edition may be too small for ICC. I’m assuming they aren’t selfhosting the community edition of open desk and wanted the support.

Or maybe open desk just gave them a better deal. Who knows

As soon as I got a steamdeck this year, I started kicking myself for every game I had bought on console T_T. I’ve got plenty of steam games, too, but I never had a particularly “good” gaming PC until the deck, just laptops

Oh yeah, that’s definitely around the time when games started getting “big”, especially with Halo.

We are living in great times for small studio and indie games!

It has a little more gameplay than past telltale games with its dispatch sections (a bit of strategy, deciding which heroes go on what calls), but otherwise you are right, it’s a fancy choose your own adventure game. They have done some interesting things with superhero tropes so far (e.g., superheroes working out of a corporate call center), but it’s a bit early to tell if they’ll subvert some of my expectations for the “final boss”.

Has anyone used OpenDesk? Looks like they have a community edition

Hey man, the playing-pinball-while-a-cat-interferes peertube community is very close-knit (https://video.apz.fi/).

I kid, but it’s true that peertube lacks the dopamine hooks and variety that youtube does. It’s much harder to sink hours into watching a bunch of videos that you’ll only half remember by the next day.

No, what you say makes sense, and I think it’s part of the reason why linux usage (as a daily driver) is starting to increase now versus 20 years ago. It’s just easier to install and use linux distros nowadays.

And most folks who want office for free are going to go with google docs, for the convenience factor.

The assumption that you’ll lose a lawsuit against a large corporation probably stops a lot of viable lawsuits from ever happening - good for him for giving it a go.

The newer zelda games are interesting since you can see how the world has changed between botw and totk, but on the macro scale you’re definitely right. Most zelda games have formula of “all is well, bad guy appears to threaten realm, link saves the day, back to normal”. BOTW was an interesting way to change that formula - hyrule isn’t restored after you beat ganon, but things change with new settlements being formed and so on in totk
