I mostly play single player indie games, but still. The amount of games that I can't play on Linux can be counted on one hand (sadly on of them EFT). Older games generally work great, very old games can be a bit cranky. I would roughly compare the compatability to windows 7 regarding old games.

I have two great parents

My best friend has one, with the other one being an violent alcoholic

My SO has a brain damaged (literally) father and a hyper conspirational spiritual mother.

The more I learn about everyone else's parents the more thankful I get

Are you sure that's how it works? Seems like a huge loophole to avoid the tariffs

It works until you zoom in. Ai still can't handle grass and such

I'll never understand why people downvote unpopular opinions on unpopular opinions. While being bonkers it's written well

Finnish media (can't find a source in English, soz) claim a correlation with Stubbs visit and Trupms aggressive posturing to Putin

Stubb has through out his entire precidency been very pro Ukraine and being an experienced diplomat he should be very familiar with realpolitik and handling populists.

He's the first European to convince Trump that Putin is unreliable and untrustworthy. Having to golf with the devil is sadly a part of realpolitik

People think the poster is agreeing with the image

Holy shit that was a lot of "Source: my ass" and anecdotes. Ffs Musk payed to have his own government agency. "Democrats are the oligarchs party" my ass

The personal attacks on Goldberg, who published a detailed account on the 'war plans' group chat, took a cue from President Trump, who called him a 'scumbag'.

Is... Is this supposed to paint her in positive light? Making fun of journalists?

Tariffs are a tax on consumers, when will they learn?

We saw it in 2020, when hordes of masked criminals took to the streets to “protest” the death of George Floyd (and the subject of racism more broadly) by looting stores, destroying cities, and assaulting law enforcement.

Wow what a nuanced and neutral article

 
 
 

How come there are so few racing games coming out lately? Feels like it's just codemasters doing their thing, some struggling indie games and a truckload of shovelware. I'm not saying it's dead but wasn't racing games one of the primary genres?

Another thing that bugs me with the few games that come out is the lack of progression and immersion. NFS Unbound impressed me slightly with actually starting you out with a low spec car and having slow (by modern standards) progression. However halfway through when you have fast and "cool" cars you really felt the games mediocrity.

Dirt rally 1 and 2 has economy systems, but after a single championship you can basically buy whatever car you want. The rallies are immersive but everything between is just boring menues.

Why do you think the state of racing games is so poor? The industry being shit? Audiences not playing them anymore?

 

Incase anyone tells you that lemmy.ml is not a tankie instance.

 

It feels like new games are just more of the same, with no real meaning. However I recently started playing "Return of the Obra Dihn" and love open ended deduction in it. It feels like I'm actually figuring things out by myself without being handheld through it. Are there any other games that don't coddle the player that you guys recommend?

The games they release are complete in them selves, and with 15-20€ dlces every ~6 months they keep the games fresh with new content.

People rarely complain that features are missing from their games until it gets added in a DLC. Then suddenly it's a mandatory feature.

 
 
 

I thought horseshoe theory was disproven but most posts on there could just as well be from far right extremists. It's just contrarianism for the sake of being contrarian.
