It seems they consider themselves complimentary with OpenStreetMap, as stated on their FAQ https://overturemaps.org/resources/faq/#

Overture is a data-centric map project, not a community of individual map editors. Therefore, Overture is intended to be complementary to OSM. We combine OSM with other sources to produce new open map data sets. Overture data will be available for use by the OpenStreetMap community under compatible open data licenses. Overture members are encouraged to contribute to OSM directly.

I don't know a lot about any of both projects, but it seems fair.

Heroic is a client for GOG and Epic Launcher, so if I install a game from there, I use Heroic.

Lutris is more generic, and has specific script installers per game, so I use Lutris as a fallback if the game is from somewhere else, or the game does not correctly work with Heroic.

Then, as a third fallback, I try to install the game with Wine directly, then add it a shortcut on Steam to benefit from Proton through Steam. In the above cases (Heroic and Lutris), they would be using their own packaged version of Wine/Proton, so it's worth to try it before giving up.

Curiosity. It began while trying to play around with programming, and finding a lot of talk and resources about Linux, and then trying it. 3 broken Debian installations just for messing around, then Ubuntu as a more permanent install, all of this alongside Windows.

Then I began using less and less Windows until I just deleted the Windows partition because I needed more space.

I've bought a bunch of Wadjet Eye games; Unavowed, Gemini Rue, Primordia, Strangeland, Shardlight, Technobabylon and The Excavation of Hob's Barrow.

And aside from that, Return of the Obra Dinn.

I've already played Gemini Rue, and I'm finishing Unavowed.

I usually sort by new on my subscribed communities if I see that happens, because normally there are some new posts when I came back to check Lemmy. It seems that if I let it sort by Active or Popular, there are a lot of posts that I've already seen that they still have activity.

It's me, or there's an Evercade VS on top of the table? Curious if it's on all versions of the game, or just in this physical edition for Evercade.

I think that hiding readed posts on the front page is a nice idea.

I'm playing a lot of Helldivers 2 and The Talos Principle 2, and I'm having a great time from both games.

What I like about it is that I don't need to delve into second hand shopping to get some old classic games.

I've always wanted to get into getting retro games, and I would get different consoles, but as a matter of money and space I've found it difficult unless I get into only one system, and I find the evercade as a compromise for getting a variety of collections from different systems.

Of course, emulating ROMs would give almost the same experience, but the physical releases with their little manual got me.

And managed democracy!

Screencheat if you want a game to "pick up and play". It's a shooter with different modes where everyone is invisible and you must look at the other players split screen to deduce where they are and shoot them. It's really fun to play!

I use it, and combining it with autocorrect and suggestions I find it really easy and fast to use.

Mascarade, a board game. It's a game of hidden indentities, where everyone can lie to try to get all the money and win the game. I've had A LOT of fun playing with as much as 10 people. The game can be played between 2 and 13 players, but less than 4 I think it's not that worth.
