Wait, is that a "wine road/route" joke? Well done, if so.

The headline is a bit oddly (heh) worded, suggesting it wasn't available DRM-free before it came to GOG, even though it was already DRM-free on Itch for a while now. And well, depending on your definition of DRM in Steam's case.

I'm not so much "oh no, Imposter Factory is delayed" as "oh boy, Imposter Factory will be out in the spring!" Kind of a glass half full...of tentacles!

Looks like the variants are lagging behind? The Ubuntu MATE release hasn't happened yet in any case.

Instead of manually importing games, it now attempts to sync up with your library across other stores like GOG, Humble and Steam.

So...still no Itch integration, then?

Dunno about the game, but I already want the soundtrack.

As I understand it, there will be more interactions available with your spouse and child, a random option for the jukebox, and new content in general throughout the game. Plus various quality of life stuff.

I've seen this trend of bland games coming a long way off, and I'm hardly unusual in that. As the budgets for AAA games go up and up, the tendency to innovate and take risks goes down in equal fashion. You need to have as broad a consumer base as possible to hit those profit targets after all, to fund the "visionary" upper management's bonuses. It's the little studios and one-dev shops that are going to burst out of the mold and give you a Dicey Dungeons or Caves of Qud or Spiritfarer, not the household names.

As to blockchain, it remains a solution looking for a problem, or I guess a technology looking for an application. It's interesting on paper, but for everything they've tried to use it for, there's already something else which does it better. I guess it's good at making a fantasy token for currency speculators, and that's gaming of a sort I guess.

And I drank a homemade apple wine last weekend. It was tasty and easy to make.

Quoting: LungDragoIn my mind, the only reason you wouldn't use KDE is if
a) you're a newbie user and/or can't be bothered to tinker with your desktop to suit your needs and tastes
b) you're a fancy enlightened i3 user - although it's worth noting that again surprisingly KDE is very useable keyboard only if you wish.

I keep reading that list and I can't seem to find "you're happy with your current DE and have no pressing need to change it."

Probably there somewhere. I'll keep looking.

As an aside, whoever made that video needs to know that a borderless white font in front of a white window, even with the light gray bar, is almost unreadable. I gave up partway through the video because I was squinting so much.
