Talking point - what have you been playing lately?

I've been playing the new Tokyo Xtreme Racer, and am enjoying it immensely. Straight up the best cars game since Midnight Club 3 and Gran Turismo 4.

I also just finished the first Mass Effect. I wrote a lengthy piece on it elsewhere, but the bottom line is I have mixed feelings. Ultimately, I was more disappointed than impressed. I felt that the game did not fill out the outline it has drawn for itself at the start.

GTK feels like 2005 but that the corners are rounded :unsure:

Embark Studios confirm rollout of Denuvo Anti-Cheat for THE FINALS

That is Denuvo anti-tamper. This is about Denuvo anti-cheat.

What makes you think Denuvo won't behave the same towards Wine across their anti-cheat as well ? Is there another game using Denuvo that don't do that ?

Denuvo means Linux players will be locked out of their game cycling through Proton versions whenever a new update comes out and momentarily borkes the game.

Around 70,000 users affected in Discord related breach which includes some government ID images

Highly disagree with the comment above mine. Every bit towards claiming one's privacy helps. It's not an all or nothing deal, where you should just give up and 'why bother'.

Additionally, Discord fucking sucks even without the privacy concerns, and is an actual hazard with them. The sooner we get a proper alternative that can be convincing for peers to jump ship, the better.
