What, you don't like installing programs the good old Windows way? /s

I'm not gonna try and tell you it's perfect. But as someone from Québec who needed an emergency surgery mid-lockdown, I was able to see multiple doctors, spend a night at the hospital, got examined in every way necessary and received said surgery, along with morphine for the following days... And basically didn't see a damn bill. I had to wait a long time in the ER at first. Until it got worse they just told me to be patient. But from the quick estimates I did, this would've cost me maybe 10-15k$ in the US. Best case scenario. Scenario in which I then have to deal with an insurance company that bitches and moans about having to fulfill its part of the deal. And then of course they'd increase my premiums.

I'm sorry, what game? This just looks like a 5$ bin indie™ (They got 30M$ in funding through investments) Unreal Engine 4 shooter. The fact that there's no controller support or console ports planned says more than enough. What's newsworthy about their use of a crappy anti-cheat? Not like most in here were ever going to even think about it. It's a freemium GAAS shooter with an almost inevitably a small player base which will be all but dead a few months after coming out. I know I'm being mean and their people have been working on this game for years now, but come on.

I hate that they're basically Windows-style free-for-all executable installers brought over to Linux as if that's a pleasant or safe user experience in any way. I've also had a few annoying experiences with programs packaged that way and I'd much rather just get a zipped version of the game executable and asset files. Works just fine for basically every Linux game I've downloaded from Itch.

Man, an AppImage? If I ever get it it'll be on Steam for sure.

No, this one is on life support and it's the one which injects extra controls for image links, Twitter links and whatnot. The one you are thinking of is old Reddit redirect. And yeah, couldn't use Reddit without it

Where did the duckduck go?

Not only is this a really interesting idea, this has to be one of the most beautifully written and structured bash scripts I've ever seen. I'll give it a try later!
