Hi-Fi Rush

Pure joy and happiness from start to finish.

…are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony…

They absolutely should. Closed ecosystems should be illegal. They are literally an intentional form of unethical, predatory trust.

Oh, did GM just step in it this time. Being stupid and removing important features is one thing, but straight-up defamation like this is another.

Google and Apple’s lawyers must be salivating a river right now.

Are you implying that there is anything else that matters?

Capitalist.

The word you are looking for is “capitalist”.

Jetbrains IDEs have “Live Templates” that I use extensively.

For little notes and snippets (especially CLI snippets) I use an app called Stashpad, which I LOVE.

I really like Orion, which is based on WebKit… but it’s Mac only. 😢

Remember, Firefox is great and has no dependency on upstream Google code.

Use Firefox.

Persona 5 Royal

You are thinking of beef. The Rich are full of bacteria and parasites and should be thoroughly cooked before consuming.

Wow, that was fast… but I am IN!

This. This. This.

100% this.

This kind of thing is the reason I’ve started moving completely away from Microsoft platforms, including Windows. Microsoft is getting more and more invasive and aggressive pushing advertising onto people in their own private spaces, and that is unacceptable.

Since I’m a PC gamer first and foremost, I don’t use XBox… and after this, I won’t. Ever. This was just MS dipping their toes in to see if they could get away with it.

Thankfully, with Valve continuing to rapidly improve Proton, just about any Windows game runs on Linux now with very little elbow grease. No Microsoft necessary.

I hope to the gaming gods that Squadron 42 can recapture the feelings that the old Freespace games did. The desperation, the feeling like you are part of something… nobody else has even TRIED to do anything like that since.

Hello, fellow person of fine taste!

I don’t think I can rank things that way any more. I think of my “best games of all time” category as “absolute masterpieces”.

So here are my “absolute masterpieces” in the order in which they come to mind, which is as good an indicator as any, I suppose.

• Daggerfall
• Fallout 1 & 2
• Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
• Sekiro
• Bloodborne
• Alpha Centauri
• Disco Elysium
• The Longest Journey
• The Journeyman Project 2
• Asheron’s Call (the original)
• The Witcher 3
• Horizon: Zero Dawn
• Close Combat series
• The Outer Wilds
• Crysis (ONLY the original)
• Far Cry (ONLY the original)
• Planescape: Torment
• Ghost of Tsushima
• Alien: Isolation
• Shadow of the Colossus
• Baldur’s Gate (the entire OG saga)
• Planetside (ONLY the original)
• Arx Fatalis

Never was.

If only I could get wifi to work on a linux partition, it would be the perfect linux machine.

I really wish Nightdive was a little more ambitious with these.

The System Shock remake looks exactly how my rose-tinted memory remembers it.

This, however, looks awful. This is not how I remember SS2, even if it’s literally how it originally looked. :-(

To be fair, it is a BIG demo. 2-3h worth depending how you play. And the graphics are GREAT.
