Honestly on the bus or train it’s kinda nice to just be in a bubble. Obviously you still need to be aware to some degree but I remember my college bus trips being a nice isolated time most days.

The joys of not understanding ionising radiation

Yeah I’ve been on and off dabbling in downloads for probably a solid 20 years now and it never really “died”. I frequently download things like games to avoid dropping £40+ on something that might be completely worthless before I’ll throw money at it. And I know steam refunds are pretty good now but they’re not perfect and anything out of steam isn’t affected by them. Hell my most played steam game, rimworld, I initially pirated and dropped before trying again later on and buying. I’m happy to pay for things like streaming services if they actually provide something I want and I don’t have to navigate the bs. If they can’t sort out licensing then that’s not really a me problem, it’s a them problem. After Netflix started price hikes and screwing around with recommendations I dropped it.

One of my top games of all time tbh

Teamspeak is alright, in fact we use it along with discord for inter-channel Comms. But discord does a lot of stuff that ts doesn’t touch

I mean I’d love if things like chicken didn’t have all the icky bits

I played it for a few hours a while back, it was alright. It also took me a couple of times to get into factorio so I can understand. Still prefer factorio though, great art style, incredibly polished game.

Yeah you can even postprocess it to be pretty similar to pixel art from the render

Yeah, one nice thing is that you can remove the problem communities and you see a lot less of them

Well the way you said “we don’t need to play anything on Linux” implies that you’re against the idea, my response was asking what you’d be doing instead. I’m not lost, I was wondering what headspace you’re in that you’re against that entirely. However it looks like you meant it in a purely literal sense. Most games aren’t exploiting children though, so that’s why I’d draw a line there.

Well if you’d rather nobody plays anything on Linux then you obviously have something else in mind so it has everything to do with this. You’re the one insisting that it should only be used for some other purpose.

What would you rather do then?

Honestly a few cheaters in a game is way less of a problem than letting a company, especially one owned by tencent, have root access to my pc. Anyway in my experience with league the cheaters are either mostly nonexistent or subtle enough that it doesn’t impact the games. Also nobody in here’s going to have a rank that’s actually important and I don’t see why they can’t have the fun anticheat in tournaments and ranked but leave it out of the other things.

What’s missing? I switched to jellyfin over a year ago now and it’s just been better

I haven’t seen any anti adblock things on youtube if that’s what you mean

Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know that I’m changing the annual piracy subscription from nothing to 0 on the 31st of October. If you carry on then you’ll end up exactly where you’re headed. Thanks and have fun.

I like Ubuntu

Sometimes it’s not even ruin days, there’s stuff that I don’t appreciate popping up when I’m eating for example

That’s probably the smallest problem here
