This is absolutely my jam for a Deck game! Sounds wonderful, thanks for the rec!

Nobody from the Bungie glory days are still around. The suits are running the show, and when this doesn't get instahit status, which it won't, they'll shut it down.

Nothing to see here, just a shambling corpse. Safe to move on.

^ Exactly. I'm just glad the whole crypto bubble has popped and nft's died a horrible death, so at least we won't get that nonsense. But with AI ... oof. Has he stated if he's using it either way?

Love this improvement! I'm going to do an Avowed replay after they release all the dlc / expansions / patches / etc... so probably at the end of the year maybe? Or next year? By then mesa should have a TON of raytracing improvements and my 9070xt can run with it all turned up. Should be gorgeous. It was already gorgeous when I played it on my 6800xt with no RT.

Man those numbers are so insane. Good! Love it!

Also the top games are just so funny. CS & Dota. LOL

Quoting: tfkOpen source mobile phones,
Open source desktops,
From there,
EU based payment systems for easy EU based online transactions,
EU based and open source security layers for said payment providers.
Educational programs to show people how to be the owner of their own system again, and how to do critical thinking again.
Ban on American cloud services like Google, Microsoft, Amazon. I mean firewall block. Boom!

Edit: gave my feedback.

This all sounds amazing as an American. Especially the payment thing. Here we are so screwed with horrible options for sending money around in friend / family groups. Most people in my social circle still use venmo for everything which is just paypal, a horrifying company.

Microsoft is so screwed in the corporate sector. I don't think they care though, right now Satya's brain has turned completely to mush with ai garbage so he can't even think properly. The entire corporate world over the next decade is going to dump office (or copilot 365 app LOLOL) and windows, so that's a TON of revenue lost. Again I don't think microsoft cares, but it'll be interesting to see what happens with windows.

^ I hate game devs using twitter as well. Especially as you said it's now a pay-for-child-porn landscape. How hard is it to setup a mastadon or bluesky account? Oh well.

And this game I'm not familiar with, I guess it looks like a more modern minecraft maybe?

Quoting: Jarmer^ Interesting! Unfortunately I'm on Verizon in the US and it's unsupported. I could do tmobile and it'd work though. I wager that's not specifically this phone though, I bet all the linux options are this way. Verizon is horrible for stuff like this. But they're the best network. Oh well.

Some US carriers do seem to be the most problematic. This could also be down to a whitelist, where if your phone make is not on the list, then you're barred. Personally I'd boycott any such carriers and vote with my wallet.

That's exactly right. Verizon is the worst with this stuff too. BUT they have by far the best tower coverage, and my wife travels for work ... soooooo ... she would be frustrated if I switched us to tmobile. In a few years when she travels less, I'll most likely do it then though.
