I’m retired and have basically unlimited time. I still don’t like most games.

Denuvo at launch

The horse archers in civ 6 are so pathetically lame that the only reason to build even one is to get 3 points toward a golden age. The computer builds swarms of them, of course, but anything can kill them, even a recon unit.

The story is good, the gameplay very good, and the visuals absolutely stunningly wonderful. I recommend it without reservations

Option 2

I never use wifi outside of my home. I have unlimited cellular data, so why would I bother?

Firefox with uBlock Origin should always be your starting point. It’s not an either/or thing. I use ff+ubo and NextDNS for two layer ad filtering. There’s literally no need to choose.

It’s a neat idea but it looks like the company doesn’t have the resources to create decent hardware to carry it out

They’ll “go bankrupt” then come back as a purely business to business company, licensing their shitty ad tech to other companies.

All games are pirate games if you do it right

The enshittification will continue until morale improves. After that, it will intensify.

Yup, I played with literally dozens of mods under linux and steam. I’m having trouble finding it again, but I used a guide to install steamtinker and mod organizer, then everything was pretty easy after that.

In memory of Matthew Perry, I played through Fallout New Vegas, with the Viva New Vegas mod pack. I sided with Benny (the character voiced by Perry) for the first time ever. Even played a female character with the black widow perk, so Benny could get lucky one last time.

Shame to hear it doesn’t run on the steam deck. I use Linux on my gaming desktop and if it won’t work on the deck it usually won’t work on my desktop either

Oh wow… they have The Saboteur for $5. I didn’t know it was available on the PC. I loved that game, warts and all. IIRC it was the first game I ever worked to get 100% achievements on.
