They’ve updated it to be worded better https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/update-on-terms-of-use/

Usually purebreds have more issues due to inbreeding.

Don’t get me started on ds9. A black captain? A trans lesbian officer? A gay interspecies couple? The federation using fear from war as an excuse to become a police state? Can’t believe they made my colorful space communism show woke.

People are right about flatpak - it will generally keep stuff out of your actual root/home directory. But like you implied, the steam flatpak is unofficial so you may run into issues. With that said, I’ve used it and know many people who use it without any problems.

And depending on the game, you might be able to run it directly with steam offline, or even straight from the executable without steam open at all.

Of course this isn’t airtight, but there are ways to check the permissions granted to flatpak applications. And IMO it works well enough for games. Ofc this depends on how paranoid you are and your reasons for wanting this (fear of a game being a virus, not wanting clutter in home, wanting protection from a bug that would delete data, etc.).

X11 has multi pointer but I have no idea how usable it is https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Multi-pointer_X

If the entire list isn’t outer wilds its bs.

Man I wish. Those puzzles are ingrained in my skull forever.

It should - I don’t have one myself but I had someone test it and there weren’t any issues. It has full steam input support too.

thanks!

Wanted to update that I’m almost through the first book, mixed feelings at certain parts, but I’m enjoying the end on Schar’s world. Felt like the beginning had a lot of unnecessary sidetracks and random deaths. But I do definitely love the ideas, especially all the culture technology, so I’ll probably check out the second book.

Csgo and 2 have a “trust” system to keep track of player behavior and put you in games with others of similar trust value. So if you get reported often or have a history of bad behavior, you’re more likely to be put in games with other bad actors, and vice versa. Idk how effective it is though.

Honestly there isn’t a great solution, which is kind of why I avoid competitive multiplayer games. Even kernel level anticheats can be circumvented.

The nice thing about vac is that theres pretty much no false positives. And valve will occasionally update it, catching a ton of cheaters off guard and getting them banned.

Dont forget cs2, plus the short (but very fun) Aperture Desk Job)

Wow it evolved from an Empoisoned game to a Swumbles Big Jumble game.

I feel like this isn’t exclusive to indie games.
Empoisoned games: Forespoken, Bloodborne, Metal Gear Rising Revengance

Swumbles Big Jumble games: Assassin’s Creed (plus subtitle), John Madden Football (and other similarly titled sports games), any legend of zelda game.

Yeah I agree with you there. If you’re gonna just give two or three body type options and no other customization, there should be an androgenous option or at least they should all be generally androgenous. I think the issue with runescape probably stems from how the game was before.

I agree with what others said that more customization is generally good, but not all games really need that level of customization. For something like animal crossing, I think the body type thing is fine, since the designs are more neutral unlike what you’re describing. I think what could help is a third option that’s a more neutral body type. Or maybe if it’s not relevant, just don’t have a body type option.

I also don’t know much about runescape, but I assume this was an update that just changed the names from genders to body types, so adding other options might have increased the scope of the update. I think at least uncoupling that from gender is at least an improvement over before. Plus, I kinda disagree that people would only pick the corresponding pronouns. Plenty of people have a gender expression that doesn’t necessarily match their gender identity.

I mean, that’s not cruelty free. Someone’s still gotta animate that. And most good animators either act scenes out beforehand and/or use reference footage.

So many games focus mainly on competitive play. Tf2 is the only multiplayer fps where I feel free to relax and goof off.
