yeah the headline is pretty bad clickbait but the interview (@11mins) was amusing and pretty high praise for the deck.

If you just adjust your justice you might just make it just.

Which is why it's so awesome that most of Steam Deck is actually fairly open, or at least as open as running steam on desktop Linux anyway.

Not FOSS but free2play and native with vulkan:

Palia is fun for awhile but not a lot of lasting content there yet.
An oldschool style Linux native MMO I still recommend is Project Gorgon. It's a very social game, while you can do a lot solo eventually you'll run into the game's only real punishment which is dying from a boss fight. You'll get a permanent curse that can only be lifted by defeating that boss and the best way to do that is to find other players in game to help you do it.

It's just a source release, not even a Linux port done yet. It should be possible to build it for DOS and run it in dosbox but I don't know the tools required for that.

I find tildes.net fills the role of in-depth discussions pretty well, they don't tolerate memes and other fluff which I do still find entertaining but lemmy has plenty of that. Only thing neither do very well is lots of content for niche hobbies or topics that just require a lot more users to work well.

Yeah that makes sense for how it works now, but I imagine if they plan to monetize installs they'd also make the telemetry required for all game functionality. That assumes they actually cared about the data and didn't plan to just make it all up and charge whatever they want.

Wouldn't unity just block the games from running if they don't connect? I guess you could crack the games, then maybe we'll have some weird future where devs encourage players to crack their games..

Some of the best family friendly co-op games I've played:
Stardew Valley
Valheim
Don't Starve Together

Looks like there is a bug that makes this game unstable on some kernels (like in default Ubuntu):

Yeah the bar link works fine. I'm no fan of Blizzard these days but this doesn't really sound like anything intentional, they probably just screwed up their mobile browser detection.
