I considered it, but am now avoiding it because they're going to add a Linux-incompatible anticheat.

Steam has some competition, its just that said competition never took off because Steam is so much better.

There's a reason I mostly play singleplayer games.

Most are scams, but there are reputable ones, like Humble Bundle and Fanatical.

From what I've heard he gets attacked by harpies if he tries to stop.

I'll pick the Mug root beer, Mumbo Jumbo is from England and im subscribed to his channel

Constantine is never born. That would prevent the Holy Roman Empire and the hundreds of years of regression that it caused.

According to leaks, there's going to be a new 2D Mario game (It will not have "New" in the title, thankfully) and a "remake of a SNES Classic" (I believe it'll be a Chrono Trigger HD-2D remake).

If GOG had native Linux support I'd be more interested, but their refusal to support it (despite it being their most requested feature, I may add) means I exclusively use Steam for buying my games.

Meta are performing what is called an EEE attack (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish). Basically, it involves a larger corporation creating a thing that hooks into an open standard, artificially inflating it, slowly adding new, proprietary closed-source features that other members of the open standard cannot use, and eventually removing support for the open standard entirely, forcing other users to enter their walled garden because that's where all the people are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,\_extend,\_and\_extinguish

I'm not sure if its open source, so technically not FOSS, but Connect is by far my favorite UI and UX wise.

I use it on mobile for the fast action button (basically fancy gesture controls). I know its ownership is pretty sketchy, and I'd prefer to be using Firefox or some other browser, but I haven't found any other browser with similar gesture controls.

With open-world games, I usually end up overwhelmed or lost on where to go next pretty quickly, and inevitably move on to something else after messing around a little.

However, Metroidvanias, a very similar genre, don't overwhelm or confuse me nearly as much, even with some of the larger ones like Hollow Knight. I think something like that is the ideal progression for an open world game - a world that starts out limited and somewhat linear, and eventually grows in scale and nonlinearity as you collect movement options and paths to new areas.

I do think copyright is essential for protecting smaller artists. However, it has been corrupted by big corporations into something to gain complete control over their creations, which is essentially the exact opposite of its purpose. With this in mind, I would propose two changes:

1: Change copyright to only apply for 10 years. Most smaller creators would have a chance to build up a community by that time, and it lessens the amount of time a corporation can maintain a stranglehold on their IPs.

2: Make a clause that allows for derivative works, as long as the source material is credited clearly and at the beginning of the work. This means works like fangames, fanarts, and fanfictions are all fully legal, and don't have to worry about corporate stranglehold, and also benefits smaller creators, as these works can essentially serve as free advertising.

This obviously isn't a perfect solution, but its almost certainly far better than what we have now, and restores copyright back to its original intended purpose.

Yes, but it isn't on f-droid or google play.

And he is EAGER to make them remember

This is a great idea for patents, but probably doesn't work as well for copyright, as the cost of a creator's time and effort is subjective and hard to prove. Additionally, this gets a little wonky with free or open source products, which are unlikely to be making much (if any) money.

Turn it off, REMOVE THE BATTERY (important step, batteries are dangerous and do not like liquids), then disassemble it. Remove the keycaps and rubber membrane and wash them with soapy water, and wipe down the gold contacts with isopropyl alchahol. Wait for it to dry completely before reassembling it.

I'll occasionally play an AAA game if it's on sale, but usually I stick with indies. Indie games have the best stories, most unique art styles, and know how to make things challenging but fair.

Intimidate, explosion, and bite. Intimidate drops the opponent's defense, explosion weakens them significantly, and bite can finish them off.

Ultrakill. Sometimes guys will talk to you, but its rare (only before bossfights), can mostly be ignored, and can be skipped after listening to it the first time.

I have blocked exactly 10 magazines, all non-English.

I haven't played many games that have came out this year, so Pizza Tower wins by default. I may pick up TotK sometime in the future if I can get it used or on sale, but for now I don't really intend on playing it, especially not at full price.

However, my favorite game that I've discovered this year has definitely been Ultrakill. Its the most fun FPS game I've played (not saying much, since most FPS games are pretty terrible nowadays, but still its a really good game).

Mario Galaxy was one of the first games I played, and Pokemon Black was the first I beat. IMO both still hold up today.

Literally the plot of The Owl House

Omori is a great RPG with forgettable gameplay but an unforgettable story.

Ultrakill is an excellent shooter with fast pacing, unique mechanics, and difficulty that is hard but rarely unfair.

Satisfactory is a factory building simulator which is pretty similar to Factorio, but a bit more chill and in 3D.

There are plenty of indie games which offer new and unique experiences which aren't just "shooter" or "online shooter". My recommendations would be Celeste, a platformer about a girl who climbs a mountain, and Hollow Knight, a metroidvania set in a dying kingdom, but there are plenty of other great ones as well.
