Cool idea, but would appreciate a notice that it is subscription-required in the play store description.

Even in the very off chance he wasn’t the architect, he is such an incompetent leader that the dems broke ranks including his party whip Durbin without him knowing. Absolutely awful politician and a disgrace

Hey, apologies to necro a thread but I also tried out winboat recently which works great as well! In case you were feeling starved for options haha

For me, voices of the void. It had a new alpha update, v0.9.0, so I’ve been going through that. If you are going to try the game, keep in mind that it has a lot of easter eggs and random events that you might want to experience yourself for the first time. Keep external research limited to how to do the daily tasks (it is confusing, make sure to look it up for your version cause it has changed a lot), and also keep in mind that events start really slow.

For my wife, we are going through the Outer Wilds DLC. If you are going to try it or the base game, look up nothing, and you will appreciate the game fully.

Sleepy princess in the demon castle is mine!

I personally had some trouble wrapping my head around distrobox while using bazzite and trying to install coding dependencies, but I’ve been having a great time gaming and programming on Nobara! The nice thing with Bazzite is the integrated distrobox which lets you run something under any linux OS (and even windows, I think?), and should theoretically be good for coding, so if you spend more time than me you should be able to program just fine. Maybe VSCode with remote ssh addon or something.

It isn’t quite the same, but marking viewed posts as read and automatically hiding viewed posts seems to do the trick for me

Also if it isn’t sold anymore, my go-to website for games is myabandonware.com It tends to have descriptions of the compatibility with modern systems, and for hit and run it has the modding tools linked. For other stuff it has the patches you need to run it, usually

It is really rough starting without any pointers, since the game does kind of expect you to have a wiki open (imo). You can talk to the guide repeatedly (granted he isn’t dead) and he gives you some of the picture, but not the full picture.

Usually I build houses (check wiki page for details on this since the guide does not explain it well)

-> go caving to get a few heart crystals and silver/gold armor (usually caves are accessible from the surface, break the pots too for money)

-> visit corruption/crimson to bomb 2 demon orbs/heart thingies, then gtfo

-> visit jungle for some better gear (including an ivy whip) (you may die, so put your money in a piggy bank!)

-> build boss arena (just a line or 2 of platforms with a few campfires and sunflowers works wonders) and summon him (or wait for a “you feel an evil presence” night)

-> after that, you have a pretty good basis to explore the different weapon/armor build options, go deeper in the ground, try some different events, find new accessories, etc.

Terraria is all about exploring and the main progression is tied to bosses that may need a specific place to be spawned, or are tied to some other condition. The guide does update his dialogue as time goes on, so you can keep talking to him to figure out what is next slowly. The wiki can point you in the direction of the next armor set to build, or the next accessory/weapon to try to get for your chosen archetype (which is pretty flexible, you are totally free to mix and match your weapons-- like using a summoner weapon on a melee character). And the wiki can tell you about what boss or event you should prompt next. Enjoy!

I’ll dm you the link! Not sure if there are any rules against sharing links in this comm.

Have y’all taken any trips there? Honestly just living out of an airbnb, taking the chance to go to the grocery store and cook at home a few times, (like you are “living that life” in the smallest sense) and taking day trips with the trains is what eased my family’s fears.

Arriving in a beautiful airport, walking downstairs to the train station, learning that the paper train tickets can be tapped to let you in (and later just the credit card), then being at our bnb in like half an hour without stepping foot in a car was so magical to us. Then we stopped by the grocery store (surprised at there being 2 within a 5 min walk), and we noticed that the prices of everything was a fraction of what we normally pay, but also tastier and healthier. Then compounded over the next few days with day trips to other cities, seeing actual historic places (unlike the US, at least the west), and seeing that everywhere just has… a better quality of life-- Strictly speaking from locality to parks, grocers, cafes, and the very low risk freedom of movement without a car.

It also helps that their english literacy rate is equal or better than the US… I’m learning dutch so I can assimilate better when I move, and you’d probably need to know it for many jobs, but luckily it isn’t too difficult to learn. Hardest part is finding resources imo, but the discord for learning dutch has weekly practice sessions.

Just saw this today! https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps. It runs a full vm but integrates it natively as far as I understand, but it can run w/e with a bit of performance loss.

I had a little bit of success using steamtinkerlaunch to set up MO2 or vortex through steam!

Looking at it with the perspective that low effort gacha games and gambling drivel makes for tens of billions sales, it makes sense why investors see this as disappointing. I agree with you wholeheartedly, though. Be it 10 million or 10 billion in profits, it is crazy to see either of those as a “failure.” This whole era of business suits driving game development is insane
