I know that I'm one guy, and my purchasing decisions ain't gonna change nothin'. But I still try to vote with my wallet as much as I can in order to feel like I'm doing the right thing. I'm the guy old-fashioned enough to still only buy native Linux games because I don't like the idea of replacing official support with just hoping Proton happens to work, knowing full well that this replacement happened long ago and I am too late to turn back the clock. And I've got a whole list of publishers I will never buy from under any circumstances.

I will never ever ever spend money on gacha, because if I don't know what I'm buying then I'm not buying it. Even putting aside the ethical concerns, that's just a stupid purchase.

But I have a lot of nostalgia for TF2, and I don't know how to reconcile that. They kinda got away with sneaking in gacha before we realized how evil this is. I haven't touched the game in a long time anyway, but if the Heavy Update ever saw the light of day (it won't) or even if they just brought back rd_asteroid (even more not happening), I'd be very tempted and I dunno what I'd do.

There are two gacha games I still play, without spending any money on, while knowing what a hypocrite I am for playing them. Mahjong Soul and Riichi City. They're the two most populated Riichi Mahjong clients - it's either these or Tenhou, but Tenhou isn't in English, hasn't been updated in a long time, paywalls a number of features behind a subscription model, and is steadily losing players to its competitors. If a new client with an ethical business model took off I'd switch in heartbeat, but I can't imagine one would ever take off to a point where I could queue at any time of day and get high-ranking opponents at my level. So I'm kinda stuck with these.

I don’t play CounterStrike or Team Fortress 2 because I’m not a god damned masochist.

In the end, I’m technically already boycotting them.

yes, if for no other reason than that they’re tricking you into thinking they’re more fun than they are. you can have more fun playing other games with actual mechanic designs

I wonder what Steam was on with those updates

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Not really sure. The issue persisted after i played Arkham and I ended up having to go to the download cache and clear it before signing back in and that fixed it. One of the games kept throwing a “Downloaded File Missing” error, so my guess would be it had something to do with that

So now i have a few fox cubs along with the dozens of cats i have populating my base.

Do fox cubs mix with cats? :)

victorz,

Now, by “mix”, you mean…?

I honestly didn’t mean it in that way. 😆

They seem to tolerate eachother. I’ll update you once there’s no free space though that’s unpopulated by animals

The only reason you would want any less than open source is if you are a greedy fuck.

zbych, do rowerki w Podzielcie się trasami!
@zbych@szmer.info avatar

Jak coś, to służę metą w Krakowie, skąd można pyknąć w ciągu dnia trasę pociąg krk-Nowy Targ, rower wzdłuż Dunajca do Nowego Sącza, pociąg Sącz-Krk albo krk-Jędrzejów, rower z Jędrzejowa Doliną Nidy, potem do Tarnowa i pociąg Tarnów-krk. 1 trasa głównie szlak Velo Dunajec i raczej asfaltu, ale na Ponidziu to można zrobić bardziej bagienne warianty.

Jest jeszcze opcja pociąg Krk-Czwa i jazda Jurą, też przyjemna, ale można załapać piachy.

Gpxy z przejazdów powinienem mieć na komputerze, albo mogę skrobnąć na brouterze.

Velo Dunajec

O, słyszałem sporo dobrego o tym szlaku, ale nie przyglądałem się konkretnie. Muszę obadać co i jak.

Jest ok, w weekend bywa sporo ludzi, szczególnie w okolicach przełomu powyżej Szczawnicy. No i widoczki na Tatry w okolicach Czorsztyna są niezłe. Jadąc z Nowego Targu na zachód zaczynając pętle wokół Tatr można też pyknąć fajną drogę wokół zbiornika Oravskieho i wrócić na pociąg do Krakowa w Jordanowie.

I’ve been quite enjoying AC Shadows but the more I play the game the more I realise that Ghost of Tsushima just did it all better

hakunawazo, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

Seems not so many.
And if they are ending in 7 month why bother.

Been meaning to give it a try. Hopefully later this week.

Thanks for your post!

It’s fun. It could definitely use some work in some places, and if you’ve ever played Ark it shares a lot with that (both the positives and flaws), with a little bit of Satsifactory. But I’ve found it to be addicting, so much so I’ve been sneaking in small sessions using my Steam Deck

Anybody tried a steam deck with dock? Gaming and casual desktop should be doable with that.

Steam deck with dock is amazing. I picked up a dock about 6 months ago and have gotten so much use out of it.
