This is an incredible article! I very much relate to the disillusionment of doing something for the sake of sales, and also find myself on a winding journey to do something that has meaning without really knowing what that is or should be. Best of luck to him!

Is HotS included?

This looks like something someone would make in Rollercoaster Tycoon

Honestly I think this is probably one of the many secrets to long-term happiness. Ignorance is bliss, as they say

I remember being 13-15 and not caring at all what the news was. Better times, I think

Most of my friends jumped off Reddit and onto Kbin/Lemmy for the week of the blackout. I think most of them are using some hybrid of Lemmy/Reddit now. I’m the only person I know that moved exclusively to Kbin, but that’s okay. It fills the same hole that reddit did, I don’t much care if other people I know do or do not join tbh

I’ve been playing Endless Sky, which is a free space sim (lite). Been really enjoying it.

I got stuck overnight at the airport with my Deck and this game saved me from falling in to insanity. Hard recommend keeping it installed in case of emergency

I recently gave up my 6t for a Pixel7 and it was the worst decision I’d made in awhile. I miss it so much, but the newer OP phones just aren’t any good from what I’ve been reading.

Ah man that’s a huge bummer. Thanks for checking in on that. Hopefully it’ll get there!

I’ve done some other xemu emulation for Deck and over all it’s pretty solid. Minor stuttering in Ninja Gaiden Black, but it’s completely playable

It doesn’t work for everything though. Having a self hosted account that wasn’t tied to any specific platform or instance would ideally allow you to have access to PeerTube and BookWyrm as well as Mastodon and Kbin, without having to worry about your instance shuttering and all of your posts and comments disappearing. I’ve also been really stewing on this idea, I think it’s a probable future state of the Fediverse

This is my first time playing Freelancer, but I’ve dabbled heavily in Star Citizen over the last many years, and I love how you can see the roots of Star Citizen in Freelancer. It’s got that great atmosphere and aesthetic that you can see he’s trying to expand in his newer work. Too bad it’ll never release 😅

If a screen name is an identifier doesn’t that make literally every social website or forum a potential breach? That seems a bit harsh
