2016 US elections was a ridiculously sobering moment for realizing that we had not progressed nearly to the extent that I nievely thought.

Probably an old man yelling at cloud sentiment, but I hated them from the very beginning.
+1 on the "don't engage him or this" gang.
So I have YouTube premium but also have ad-blocker, for the first time yesterday I was noticing absolutely abysmal speeds on YouTube and I suspect this is why. I thought my computer was starting to shit the bed initially it was so brutal.
+1 for the third party Reddit app ban.
Smh my head
Yeah this is never a good sign.
That being said, perhaps because I got into a couple.of their podcasts, but I like a bunch of people at IGN. How come you're not a fan?
Play whatever you want, I doubt you're getting weird looks for playing anything in public.
I personally despise the mobile gaming industry as a whole for its propensity for going live service or shovelware in the vast majority of instances. Of course I can think of gems in the rough but in many cases it went for a business model I ended being disappointed in.
At the end of the day, the switch and steam deck are far preferable on the go gaming platforms that suit me much better.
Agreed, Covid ties or is a close runner up for me as well in terms of people showing their true colors.
Not that I have progressed enough financially yet to be in a position to buy a Tesla Model S, it's gone from a dream car to something I'd be ashamed to own because of being disillusioned by who Elon Musk is over the past few years.
I can't remember what video I watched that talked about the unsustainabilty and likely the late stages of an ad revenue driven internet content model, and this situation reeks of that.
I don't know what new paradigm might replace it if this is the case, but the current model feels like it's absolutely failing.
Yikes
Either 2 and 3 or 3 and 7.
Free gravel is fantastic, a ton of practical things to be done with it and is otherwise expensive.
Teleporting 7 inches away is enough to get you past many barriers and walls, that's not insignificant. This seems the coolest to me.
Being able to determine if a container is empty or not seems pretty cool as well although I can't think of a good example of how this would be useful.
The rest are hilarious.
Trials and Children of Mana makes me dubious that this is going to be any good.
Hollow Knight for me fits this scenario to a t. I got it as part of a humble bundle, but couldn't get into it for at least a year as the initial part felt really depressing, and didn't at all grab me.
But once I managed to tough it through to greenpath, and started to get some power ups, it finally sunk it's claws into me. I proceeded to nearly 100% the game.
Oh man, Hot Rod! Probably among the times I've laughed the hardest.
Stardew Valley or Terraria.
I know, right? But I suppose their reasoning is that my ads are also blocked across the rest of their ecosystem, my subscription isn't covering those losses.
Still though, a model that requires that customers look at something they don't want to nor will engage with smells like failure.
I love the idea of it, but it hasn't clicked yet. It never occurs to me to even tag things in order to leverage my notes as a mind map/second brain.
The absence of a clean means of using it from multiple devices and syncing between them without their cloud service is kind of disappointing. The git community plugin is godawful to set up on mobile/tablet, something native that handles git behind the scenes would be excellent.
Ultimately, what I'd like is obsidian but with the interface of confluence.
Super Mario Wonder. I got it at release as I came down with Covid and beat it 100% that weekend. Excellent experience, I just wish it was longer.
Step Brothers, Talladega Nights and Burn After Reading are three that consistently do it for me.
Yes, myself included.
I'm looking for a terminal like warp that's Linux compatible and this initially looked promising but the comments on how bloated it is is discouraging.
Super Mario RPG and Civ 6 still getting tons of mileage
This is good information.
Yeah I imagine the struggles I had with Debian had something to do with enabling proprietary drivers and firmware and leveraging those. Before getting those drivers, the default nouveau drivers were awful, the performance was comically bad.
I'm also not a Linux power user though, so for sure any or all of the above could be meatware issues.
Tossed this in watch later, this has been one of my favourite band discoveries of the past few years. They won me over on tiny desk concert, and it turns out I had a couple of their songs liked on Spotify without connecting the dots!
Yeah beyond tower defence games I agree.
I'm about ready to hop back in and daily drive Linux again after the nightmare that was attempting debian w/KDE plasma and Wayland. I have a Nvidia GPU on my laptop and for some reason I did not have luck at all after moderate success daily driving opensuse tumbleweed and kubuntu for a while.
I'm admittedly looking to onboard myself to the gnome workflow and leave the comfort of the windows style desktop environment experience. Gnome seems a bit more polished and stable than KDE plasma but it's interface isn't intuitive to me yet.
Ideally I'll be using Debian or Arch when the time comes for me to dive back into desktop Linux.
That number is way too low, we ought to be at more than that right now.
Tagged this to watch later as well. Thank you for the recommendation
I hummed hawed on this over the past few years to finally end up in the pixel watch 2, being sold on getting workout, sleep and general heartrate metrics.
As someone who LOVES warp (despite not being crazy about requiring login), this is fantastic news.
Both of those were game changers for me too. I had a PlayStation 1 memory card with just Squaresoft games. Absolute golden age.
For these though, I would alter the original question to be if I could relive playing this game for the first time at the time that I did. If I tried them for the first time now I'm certain I'd find both to be antiquated.
One can dream.
Haha, no kidding!
If only I wasn't such a moron with trying to navigate around Nvidia drivers and Optimus, this sounds fantastic.
I have yet to figure all of this out and get to a smooth and stable state.
