Many of the games listed here have old or dead links, and you can't sort by rating either. I had a very bad time finding games using this site.
People have already engaged. There's nothing left to say to this other than I wholeheartedly disagree and this is a bigger deal than you're making it out to be.
This is non-news, like all tech companies, they are bound by law to do this. It happens more than 6000 times per year for Proton. However, this user just had bad opsec. Proton emails are all encrypted and cannot be read unless law enforcement gets your password, which Proton does not have access to. Even if Proton hands over all data.
My job didn't even require a video interview, this unpaid role has more strict requirements than half the jobs in the US haha.
Thank you for this post. I was reading by and wouldn't have understood those comments unless I saw your post.

Host your own. Plex wasn't designed to be a mass distribution. It is designed for home theater/personal use in or out of network.
I have a Litter Robot (that's the actual brand name) and it's worth the money. Completely eliminates smell other than right when they do the deed. Incredibly easy and clean to empty, but that's all besides the point. They ha e the BEST customer service ever. I've had parts replaced for free, experts on the phone guide me step by step on how to fix it if it malfunctions, and once they even replaced the entire dome for free (plus shipping). I've had this for several years and it's amazing. Truly.
I've had other automatic litter boxes too but none of them have been as durable, clean smelling, or easy to use as this. Plus I get phone notifications when it's full and it won't cycle anymore so I can change it.
My cats took a week to get used to it but now they love it. They offer their own litter but you can buy your own as well. There are certain restrictions on litter type though, check that out before you buy litter.
It separates the waste well, and there is hardly any wasted clean litter in the waste bag when I take it out.
And it actually stinks LESS than a regular box because of how it stores the waste and the fact that it seals it away a few minutes after cats go, using a weight sensor to tell when a cat has left the box.
Edit: reading this sounds like an advertisement, but I swear I'm just a dude who loves my litter box a whole lot.
Yes.
Personally I don't trust companies who aggressively advertise like they do, but that's not a real reason grounded in evidence. It just tends to be correct. I recommend Mullvad.
Yeah. Even if they couldn't hand over recovery emails, having a personal email as a backup to a "private and sensitive" email account is bad practice.
And it still looks and plays like a game from 10 years ago. (Still very fun, but damn.)
What is everyone's opinions on the sound quality of vinyl?
I understand the collectibility of physical media, and the novelty of owning a vinyl and the machine that plays them. The large art piece that is the case (and often the disc itself). Showing support for your favorite artists by owning physical media from them.
Those are great reasons to collect vinyl.
But a lot of my friends claim vinly is of higher audio quality than anything else, period. This is provably false, but it seems to be a common opinion.
How often have you seen this and what are your thoughts on it?
They had problems selling it on gear.playstation.com, I had to contact like 3 support people and they eventually submitted a manual order directly to the warehouse (?). They said they had an order to remove certain items from the site but it hadn't gone through yet. They didn't specify which items, but I'm sure you can make a good guess.
Edit: The title is just a meme, but I did legitimately buy one of these just to have a memento of the biggest flop in gaming history.
Sell it on ebay for cheap and I'm sure some poor sap who lost or broke theirs will be very thankful for a cheap replacement.
It's not trying to be impressive, just historical. All knowyourmeme pages are like that.
That tends to happen when you get hit by an explosive.
Fun story. I had a flip phone years ago and you could have multiple recipients to a single text. And if the text was multiple pages, it would split into several texts. And you could resend already sent texts.
So one time I put in my girlfriend's phone number in all 20 recipient slots. I then filled the text to the max size, though I don't remember how many it split into. I then resent it over and over. This all took like 2 or 3 minutes.
Her phone was sending notifications over and over for the entire rest of the day. I'd guess at least 8 hours, probably more.
How far they've fallen since halo. It's very sad.
Then so is the question. The answer is yes. The specifics and timeline are what people disagree on.
My job is also an IT job with big responsibility. I wouldn't have compared the 2 jobs otherwise. Not sure where you got filling grocery store shelves from.
There is! I play it all the time with my friends and its some of the most fun I've ever had in a video game. The other day we hijacked some guy's space yacht and flew it to deep space, I left the ship with my friend while we brought our huge salvage ship over and scraped off all the metal from the ship, then chewed it up with the mounted claw/grinder. The whole process took 3 people 2 hours and it was so much fun.
It's not for everyone and may very well never release. But I've been waiting for a game like this for years and I can't get enough of it. The immersion is insane.
Yeah honestly society to them might be some terrible psychological horror. The small things you can do to get you arrested like walking into a forest (trespassing), removing restrictive garments (public nudity), sleeping in a comfy field of grass in the one area without monolithic grey cliffs (sleeping in a park where it's not allowed), picking up and using a tool (theft) etc etc. It's a nightmare realm with black magic machines, eternal sun indoors, unclean air, no natural food sources in cities, loud sounds everywhere and uncooperative people.
You see, what they are trying to say is that the 1's and 0's are nice and crispety crunchety but unreal engine is soft and mushy.
I'm about to buy a home, but it's taking 4 employed adults combined to afford a 3 bedroom house. It's insane.
It's disingenuous to say there's no point in striving for privacy if you're not going to go completely off grid. There are always better and worse options.
I use Proton vpn and love it. I actually like mullvad more as a standalone vpn, but Proton vpn is still great and I use it because of the whole bundle. It's a great deal and VERY convenient. The unlimited email aliases built in seamlessly to the password manager is a game changer for easy to use privacy.
I completely agree. And I've thought about this before. I can't know what is going on in people's heads but a lot of people just... don't care. They have fun watching TV and playing popular video games. I think a large portion of people just don't like learning things. Like it just annoys them. That's what I've been led to believe. Which also makes it hard to get people into something I'm into. They'll see I'm massively excited about something and the thing I'm into looks cool, so they'll ask about it. Then whatever it is, be it some tech thing, a niche game, enthusiast grade flashlights, literally anything, turns out to require learning something, they just get turned off of it immediately. If someone wants to get into something I'm doing, I've started prefacing it with "this is not straight forward, are you okay with a bit of learning?" to avoid the disappointment and wasting their time. Usually the answer is no.
You have Monday and Tuesday as your regular days off. I'm enjoying my honorary Friday night haha.
Well at this point the old "taxi" model is (from the consumers perspective) basically the same as Uber. Use an app to get a ride, pay for the ride, (maybe) tip the driver. Call them whatever you want, but it just needs to be another Uber, but better.
Oh a post with a comment! Let's see what people are sayi- oh. It's a bot contributing nothing to the conversation.
It's the other things that come with it that make the price worth it. Like the VPN, password manager, easy built in email aliases (key word easy built in), and drive storage. I paid for several of those solutions separately until combining them into a cheaper and more secure platform.
By your metrics, possiblylinix127, Linux is also a system that is used for piracy. I can do piracy on Linux. That makes it illegal!
I buy ships sometimes. AMA. I have fun with it too :)
Yeah google maps is still the GOAT as much as I wish it wasn't.
Yeah this title is out there.
Get Google fi if it's available. Very consumer friendly. Actually let me rephrase that. More consumer friendly than most other cell providers. But it's still Google.
At least all the pricing and features are straight forward and they don't lock any features (like Hotspot) behind paywalls.
Real question. Is gaming (not game dev) significantly better than it was 5 years ago on Linux? I really want to switch, but I also really don't want to give up everything "just working" and doing it smoothly when gaming on windows.
I've even considered having 2 PC's for my 4 monitors, and having the middle monitor run windows and the other 3 on a Linux box. I used to use a program that could simulate my mouse moving from one pc to an entirely different one even across windows and Linux, and also share the clipboard. I could try that again.
But if the gaming experience is sufficient and convenient on Linux I might switch entirely.
Thanks for asking a question and not immediately bashing my opinion! It's not a common response I get with this game.
For me, SC as a space sim offers more of the "sim" than any other game. For example, my recent favorite gameplay loop is being a rescue medic. I have a cutlass red, which is red, has ambulance-like lights, and a med bay. I get kitted up with red armor, healing supplies and tools, and lots of extra food and water. Plus a few guns because whatever injured people is likely going to try to get me too.
Once all the shopping is done, I load up my cutlass red and wait for someone to submit a rescue beacon. (they can do this when rendered unconscious with a single key press) Once I get one, I speed over (I have equipped a very inefficient but very fast warp drive) and extract them or heal them on the spot if possible, and clear out any enemies in the mean time.
This is some of the most satisfying and rewarding gameplay I've ever experienced. Because it's not a level someone designed, it's pure emergent gameplay with extremely heavy simulation roots. There is no teleporting in and out of ships. Every door in the ship has a little button I have to press to open it. I have to stay hydrated. The little things add to it. It all comes together to make some of the best content I've ever experienced.
And the people I save are genuinely grateful. It takes time and effort to buy a whole new set of armor and weapons and such, so I'm saving them all that time and money, and while obviously not as impactful as actually saving a life, it makes it much much more gratifying than, say, resurrecting someone in planetside or squad or something.
That's just one type of gameplay. But the principle is the same with other gameplay loops. It's the most in-depth space simulation I can get right now. Sure, some other games are more polished, have better ship combat, run better (okay ALL of them run better), etc. But none of them have everything that SC does, with the level of realism that SC does, with the in-instance ship interiors that SC does.
As far as buying ships goes, honestly I just like big ships. I used to climb on tractors when I was a little kid. They were so much bigger than me and just looking at them filled me with a sense of awe. This game does the same. I have spent quite a bit on it over the years, but only $10 or $30 here and there, to upgrade existing ships to others. You can trade in ships for other ships, melt them down for store credit, use that to get different ships. I've had so many ships just from swapping them around and every time I spend money it's just the price of ordering out, for a lot more enjoyment than I'd get from a pizza. It eventually added up to several hundred dollars and it was personally worth it for me to feel that amazing feeling of exploring what is essentially a mobile skyscraper or a hot rod or an ambulance or a fortress of destruction. You can earn most of these in game as well. But it's easier to get that dopamine hit immediately for the price of an unhealthy meal haha. Now that I have that much money invested, it's still "liquid" in that I can melt down my ships at any time and basically buy any currently purchasable ship immediately with no additional money spent.
Edit: since you mentioned community, the SC community is pretty like-minded. The people I save often go on to be my friends and play with me sometimes. Everyone is very nice. The most toxicity I ever see are people who join the game and shit on it, while insulting everyone else who plays it, then most likely leave and uninstall. These are people who think the game is a scam, maybe they're original kickstart backers who are just mad about the game or even just bought it to ride on the hate train. (being mad after backing the kickstarter is a valid stance, but I'm not going to get into that here. The only invalid stance is believing other people shouldn't enjoy the game.) The people who ACTUALLY play it regularly already know what they're getting into. They have no illusions about what this game is, and because of that they end up being one of the most welcoming communities of any game I've played. Everyone's just here to have fun with cool space ships and each other.
Disclaimer: I agree that SC is a burning pile of spaghetti code that will likely never be finished. I agree that they made promises in the kickstarter that they did not fulfill. I know you can buy thousands of dollars worth of in-game ships for an incomplete game. It will likely never finish. Yet I still play the game. And it's really fun! Come play with me some time :)
