I started and finished Stray today. It's a bit short (5.5 hours) and imo not really replayable, but I had a really nice time with it. I found it akin to Outer Wilds in the sense that you get to discover the lore as you progress in the world. I recommend picking it up if you get it on sale (the full price is a bit much for the duration).

So do I. During lockdown a french hosting company set up bbb instances on their infrastructure, and the experience was really good (they even activated the "join with your phone" feature).
Zoom and Gmeet are usable (usually calls are stable and quality is ok) but closed-source shit, and I had a lot of stability issues on public jitsi instances (though I never self-hosted).

I've tried opentalk for the first time a few weeks ago (it's included in my email provider plan) and it worked fine.

In a capitalistic world where your right to stay alive is determined by the money you make, replacing himan jobs by machine ones is a real problem.

If what was happening was "ok so the machines are gonna do that so you're gonna have a lot more free time but you still get your wages", I for one would be happy.

But what's happening is more along the lines of "well I hope you didn't just get a mortgage because here's the door hahaha don't be sad think lf the extra money the shareholders are going to make" and it's a real problem.

Just because it's logical that shitty bosses take shitty decisions which impact negatively other person's lives doesn't mean we can't be upset and vocal about it.

I've been playing a bit of CS2 for the past weeks. It takes me way back (I played with high-school friends 20 years ago till 1.6) and I definitely suck, but I'm having fun. It still lacks fun community servers imo, but I hope to see more of them soon.

My favorite game of 2023 was Outer Wilds. I got completely immersed inside and spent a lot of quality time uncovering the storyline. I tried playing the DLC but I did not enjoy it very much, text made more sense than images for me.

The game I spent most hours on in 2023 was probably DOS2, doing both solo and coop playthroughs. Will probably be replaced by BG3 in 2024 :)

I'm a big fan of women kicking ass, and videogames are usually designed to make my character kick a lot af asses. So female-looking character is great for me !

Yes I agree, I just wanted to point out that IMO Starcraft 2 was not the first pc game with a good matchmaking system.

I remember good matchmaking in Warcraft 3 for srandard matches.

And I also remember having lots of fun on custom servers for CS, Half-Life, D2 etc. and not at all feeling like matchmaking was a required feature.

I ran a quick search in this community and couldn't find anything on this topic.

I'm gaming on linux, with a mix of official and alternatively-sourced games. I've recently noticed that GOG has an OS: Linux filter and I found some titles that I could like in that list.

I tried the sites listed in the megathread, and I did not find a place where I could get these linux versions.

Has any of you looked for the native linux versions of GOG games [edit: pirated versions] and found a good place for them ?

Clarification edit (some responses helped me realize my post is ambiguous) :

  • I'm not looking for linux-native game lists, I've got that already
  • I'm not looking for legitimate platforms on which to buy linux-native games, I've got that already
  • Playing games using proton is playing with a compatibility layer, not playing native
  • I'm looking for unofficial ways to acquire linux-native games, and I'm aware these are quite rare for resons well stated in some comments

Resources already outlined :

  • 1337x with the linux keyword -thanks to @Aram1s
  • rutracker.org thanks to @beetroid
  • johncena141's torrents thanks to @kaya
 

Hi everyone !

I discovered Hannah Gadsby in Nanette last week and it was an absolute blast. Do you have other less-oppressive / more woke than average stand-up and/or comedy shows to recommend ?

I'd prefer if the comedian is not a cisgender male ;)

Current watchlist (will try to update based on your answers)

  • Hannah Gadsby : Douglas
  • Michelle Wolf : Joke show
  • Ali Wong : Hard knock wife
  • Wanda Skye : Nor normal
