I’ll second Dragon Age since it’s less action oriented than Mass Effect (which is great but OP seems more interested in strategy/management than shooting)
Mass Effect has a “tactical pause” feature though, but it feels less Baldur-like :)
That’s word for word what some friends and I always say when we go kayaking
Except it’s about cormorans instead of dolphins, they’re legion where we are and come and go inside and outside of the water
Well, no offense but getting away from Apple should be a great first step to fossify your digital life :)
I just use emails with my friends who are on Whatsapp
One of them migrated from Gmail to Protonmail so maybe he could help move to a “non GAFAM” environment
The SpamBlocker I was refering to is on Android (f-droid), I’m not sure about iOS
I only used Discord with a bunch of friends I play with, no “official game servers” so it was pretty easy
The hard task will be to have some other non-gaming friends to join, because they use Whatsapp (which me and my gaming friends refuse to touch)
AntennaPod is a pretty great podcast player, far better than the one Google did (and abandonned)
Newsblur is the only RSS reader that I’ve found that can apply filters to feeds
I’ve switched from Discord to Element with some friends for daily text chat and vocal chat (video games) and it’s less cluttered than Discord, and the voice even sounds better
SpamBlocker is a better phone/SMS spam filter than the proprietary ones I’ve tried
Firefox (and forks) has been my browser for more than 20 years, I can’t go back to proprietary ones
I just blocked lemmynsfw instance and my feed is clean
Prey 2 : https://youtu.be/BPkHZfjK5z4
Some friends and I were so hooked on the gameplay demo (we’re big fans of the Mass Effect trilogy), then it was cancelled and replaced by Prey, which was very different (more horror centric and less space opera)
Less than 1000€ for dozens of games I’ve played, I think the average price I payed is 15€, so I don’t feel robbed
I mostly buy on GOG whenever possible though, even if it means I have to wait a year or two
Woops, typo
Odyssey is more recent but Black Flag definitely has better storms
I played stealth games like Hitman like a mass murderer.
I also play the “infiltrator” class in Mass Effect without tactical cloak. I mean it’s a mix of soldier and engineer, why should it be focused on stealth ?
We also have idiots with guns (and bombs)
Not sure if it’s reassuring yet
The greatest swordsman that ever lived
“sound” is a big word, for a justice system that perpetuates state violence and mistreats immigrants.
The justice system doesn’t, the police does
Maybe with a gamepad it’s fine, but with keyboard and mouse, moving on foot in GTA IV and V feels really bad, as if you’re pulling a trailer
That’s a bit unfair to the people who are in just for the homophobia
The first Witcher game is quite old but you could like the gameplay (it’s not action oriented, unlike the 2 following Witcher games)
It’s honestly not great looking but the story is great, and who knows, you might fall in love with a great franchise :)
