It’s been some months. I usually just game on Steam installed with flatpak on Arch Linux.

I’ll look into Heroic. There are quite a few such solutions. Lutris or whatever, and similar. It’s a jungle to me.

why people are so irked by a steam alternative

I’m not irked by a Steam alternative. I’m irked by Epic Launcher. It’s so incredibly slow to start up.

Also not available on much more than Windows.

Makes sense.

By the way, I like your punny username. 😄👌

So they make boring games on purpose, and charge you (extra!) money to activate the fun in the game. That’s fucking insanity. Boycott that model, right now.

Oh ffs 🤦‍♂️ If I bought the game and want to cheat myself out of the experience, just let me do so…!

If I’m understanding you correctly, level boosters are things you can activate to… skip levels? Reach character levels quicker?

It’s honestly very odd that it needs to do this for a single-player game.

Is there maybe an online multiplayer component to the game which might otherwise experience cheating? I dunno. 🤷‍♂️

Ah, it’s in the article.

To top it all off, Shadows’ EULA also includes a provision that allows the game to monitor your PC’s RAM to ensure you’re not running any unauthorized programs like macros, cheats, or hacks, a well-intentioned clause that nonetheless feels a touch out of place in a single-player game and could potentially scare off some of the more suspicious players who aren’t comfortable with their hardware being monitored.

Honestly also curious why this is necessary.

Arrr! 🏴‍☠️🫡

Interesting idea regarding how it works. I’ve never seen it before now.

How do you measure your WPM on a phone? I’d like to try myself. 😅

And who has been suffering great losses from attacks by drones? 🇷🇺

✊🇺🇦✊

I knew this would take off. It’s very refreshing. 🤗

Yarr!

Beautiful scene! 🌞

Ah, cool. That makes the first times easy, then. 😁

I like this idea. I hope you have fun with it. 🙂

You forgot the “too share” → “to share”. 👍

That would be a pretty cool option. Then you could buy a PC that you know will play coming PS5-to-PC games really well, or whatever console’s games you’re looking to play.

Nice! I love watching downloads run in parallel. Addicted to pacman -Syu with parallel downloads enabled. Especially when it’s been a while and there are tonnes of updates.

I tried it now. It’s actually pretty sick. I’m gonna main it for a while and see how it fairs. Also found a few other free weather apps but none were as slick as Breezy.

I wish it were called Breezy as its app title though. Right now it’s just “Weather” which is annoying when every weather app wants to be just the “Weather” app…

Otherwise very pleased with Breezy for now! 🙏🤝

I did have to do that, yes! Found it. Thanks!

I can’t find Breezy Weather on f-droid when searching. 😕

Have you tried Overdrop? I fell in love with it, bought the pro version. It wasn’t a subscription thing which was also nice.

I’m down voting every repost except the first, which I up voted.

Can’t wait until an Elite that comes with Hall Effect sticks. Surely that is the next step for the next gen controller. Certainly at that premium price point.

Definitely l4d boomers. I still play it once a year with the buddies. Install, play 1-2 hrs, goodnight, uninstall, repeat next year.

I really need to play this.

You are entitled to your opinion, no matter how dumb it might seem (I have no opinion on your opinion btw, I haven’t played this game yet). People seem to forget that.

I’ll play the game first, then come back and talk shit later. 😆

The game looks dope, after all is said and done.

On the latest update and haven’t noticed anything strange at all 🤷‍♂️ Pixel 6

They want to bring it to the Deck? Is that it?

Enhancements, you say…

Shit. Missed it.

Same. Every Thursday I check the website for the released game that week and if it’s good I claim. Playnite ftw.

No sneaking… That’s the fun part of a game to me. Outmaneuvering the opponents. 😊

• slow charging
• wireless charging to reduce wear on the cable port, so it’s fresh if I want to sell the phone
• turn off Bluetooth when not in use
• charge only overnight with adaptive charging
• not use it too much, which I don’t need or want to
• reduce screen brightness to be only as bright as I need it to be to be able to see what I need to see
• keep an eye on applications that are open that drain battery, make sure to close them if not using them

Maybe more, can’t think of any at the moment.

Thanks, you’ve saved me $80.

I wasn’t, so thanks for the clarification!

Oh wow, they check every app’s upgrades manually? That’s dedication.
