I would personally love to use GOG for their buy-to-own model, but I’m incredibly tied into the Steam ecosystem. I just can’t live without Remote Play Together for playing with distant friends, the Workshop is incredibly convenient for modding, and free no-setup cloud sync of all my saves is a no-brainer. Gabe Newell was right when he talked about piracy being a service issue. If you provide the best service, people will keep coming back.

In that same vein, I’ll never buy another Ubisoft title as long as I live. Their crappy launcher makes it impossible to play their games on Linux.

I use an alternative side-loaded Instagram app called Instander which blocks ads and comes with other nice features. I don’t use the platform much anyhow, but when I do it makes the experience actually tolerable.

I was just watching a couple friends of mine stream Remnant 2 earlier and it does look pretty slick. It seems there is at least one puzzle that requires co-op to fully solve, and there may be more further in just so you and others are aware.

Hey, folks! I’m yet another Reddit leaver looking for a new home on the Internet. I initially wasn’t aware of SDF until I was browsing possible Lemmy instances to join and saw that this one had lots of tech-related communities. I thought it was a good vibe since that’s what I’m interested in as a photographer and gamer, but I had to know what SDF was, so down the rabbit hole I went.

I’m not a programmer or coder and don’t think I could have the patience for it, but this whole thing is fascinating and makes me want to SSH in to SDF! I’ve already ditched Windows for Linux on my home machine, so luckily I won’t be starting from scratch with a terminal. If anyone wants to provide tips or a resource, I’m all ears.

Three cheers for the fediverse!
