PoV actually being used correctly. I’ll have to put a dollar in the jar. I think it’s up to like $3 now!

Resistance is futile

Well, obviously. Just look at the massive success by the other major game in the genre, Baldur’s Gate 3. Fucking packed to the rafters with live service elements so that must be it.

No one gesture or action can fix race relations. Just as racism is a societal problem that manifests itself in many ways from tiny things all the way up to awful explicit actions, societal change needs to happen in both large and small ways. Things like having an ‘end racism’ banner by itself doesn’t do much, but it’s part of a collective effort to show that society is changing and to remind people that we need to and are doing the work to tackle the issue.

The only thing racism needs to thrive in society is for it to be quietly tolerated. Removing this banner can be seen as a backslide in that direction.

Those were awesome as well. I just remembered the necropolis faction as well, I think it was in 3 that you could get insane numbers of skeletons / skeleton archers. Probably 5 as well.

Do you have a favourite faction? I seem to remember really enjoying tower but it’s been a while.

Custom: -100%

Is there still nowhere to buy Freelancer legally? Who are the idiots sitting on that payday.

Edit: Oh right, of course it’s Microsoft.

Escape from butcher bay was so much fun. I didn’t get into Dark Athena as much but the fact that they included an updated version of butcher bay with it was such an awesome move.

But Kamala didn’t get in so all those kids are now safe, right?

Not sure if they are on sale or not but a few staple RTS games that are definitely worth checking out imo:

• Command and Conquer series
• Age of Empires specifically 2 and 4
• Supreme Commander (with the Forged Alliance expansion)

Probably way more, RTS isn’t a major staple of what I play but these titles are pretty diverse and will give a good taste of some of the genres best IMO. Of course Starcraft as well but I don’t think that’s on steam.

Can you just fucking not, please?

Polarize the view screen

I don’t think it follows that a product having many users means it is not hated. Just look at health insurance in the US. I’m not saying everyone is secretly itching to ditch Windows and move to Linux as soon as possible but I do think the vast majority of people simply don’t care and just use whatever the default option is provided that things work well enough. If it becomes just as easy to use Linux as Windows (including PC vendors offering Linux preinstalled and working with all appropriate drivers) I think we’d see more people switching because of the slightly cheaper cost alone.

Windows: So you’re saying there’s a chance

This is a good point. I think it’s definitely worth people trying it out if they haven’t and they might be surprised by how good it is. That said, it does still depend on the person, if there’s a particular app or workflow that needs Windows and there’s simply no good alternative then you’re kinda stuck which sucks. For me I almost never boot into Windows these days but I still wouldn’t feel comfortable totally removing it yet. Maybe one day soon.

The games are mine

Haven’t read the article just yet but it’s so insane how far this has come and all the pieces that came together over so many years. Very excited about the future of SteamOS

Yeah the prologue level they showed looked incredible. I really hope they can give the game all the polish it needs, after so long in development they absolutely need to release something with quality to match.

The pills will ease the pain
