Oh this is great. Thanks.

Monument Valley and Gorogoa are both excellent and free of nonsense.

Both are available on mobile and Steam. Gorogoa also on GOG currently 70% off.

All good. Maybe my reading comprehension was off.

Umm, I’m pretty sure Heinlein meant it as a system that could work. The book is definitely not the parody the movie is.

More like “We’ll do it but we feel REALLY bad doing it. We’re suffering more than you do. You should forgive us and give us money. We’re LITERALLY starving here…”

Only if you’re incompetent. Otherwise just not optimal.

Starsector, Rise to Ruins and Project Zomboid run well and are made in Java for example. It’s harder to pull off but it can be done. (still needs native libraries though)

Only bad thing really about it is Denuvo (properly implemented it doesn’t make the game run like garbage, but I still like to run my game whenever I want without online verification and excessive load times). I might buy it when it’s DRM free on GOG and discounted.

It has Denuvo, and runs like crap even on $1500 hardware.

I don’t know what kind of sales they expected when they don’t test it on lower spec PCs.

It also only has a 32bit CPU. So I think Android 10 is as high as it goes. I never updated my Android 4.4 because it runs so much better on it.

Battery is pretty shot though so I only rarely use it at home now.

M8 with Harman Kardon mod (fakes the model so the controls appear) is absolutely incredible. They really squeezed everything out of those tiny tweeters. And the IR Blaster is super handy.

According to this comment: https://www.gog.com/forum/the_outer_worlds/spacers_choice_edition_has_very_poor_performance_horrible_optimization/post4

They fixed it. Is that true?

Outer Wilds is probably older. There was a prototype in 2012 for the guy’s master’s thesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2AIOT24MWk

And I remember playing a beta version 3 years before release or so with a few less planets and much more primitive graphics.

Also key activations cost the dev zero on Steam. And the dev can generate keys for free to sell elsewhere. details here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys

I have also used Ubuntu when they sent out those free CDs. And for work when they had the Unity desktop (12.04 LTS). It was a good distro once.
I am pretty happy with the Arch (btw) I installed as a VM on Ubuntu 12.04 and then used as my main OS on the new work PC since 2017.

You could always use a distro made by sane people.
