Operating system based on LibreELEC 9.2 build system
I had no idea what this means so I looked it up:

"LibreELEC is a minimalistic 'Just enough OS' Linux distribution for running Kodi on modern digital (HTPC) devices. Our documentation can help you install, configure, and use LibreELEC to run Kodi, or develop and build installation images using our buildsystem."

Talking Point: how about a monthly Steam Game Pass from Valve

Quoting: libgradevThe main issue I have with these services is content vanishing from the sub as my playtime is so erratic these days due to other commitments...

With the current model at least I can come back in 6 months and be, for the most part, sure the game will still be there.
Good point. My family watches Netflix, but I don't watch much passive TV. I might notice a movie I want to watch but I don't get around to sitting down at the TV for 3 months, but by then it is gone off the service.

Games would be much much worse. I have a session of New Vegas I need to get back to from about 2 years ago.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPMy biggest fear with subscription services is that I'm not sure if it is actually viable for smaller developers.
Exactly. Ask smaller-name musicians how much money they make on spotify or other streaming services.

Streaming only benefits the platforms and the big names. Everyone else loses.

Lost Ruins is a little quirky but it's an absolutely gorgeous metroidvania and lots of fun

Artwork looks impressive. I look forward to reviews of the new combat improvements. I don't mind difficult games, I do mind things that seem purposely frustrating.

Sell stocks and get rich, The Invisible Hand has a Linux build on Steam ready for testing

I already know how to win:

1) Live below your means
2) Save
3) Invest in a total world index ETF (such as Vanguard)
4) Keep saving

That is about it, other than understanding your taxes.

Thanks! I didn't know about this one. Any well-made Portal expansion is worth a look.

Metro Exodus and Hellpoint in May's Humble Choice, along with a new subscriber discount
30 Apr 2021 at 4:45 pm UTC

Quoting: Ehvisb) You can get it for the entire month. The blind thing was while it was "Humble Monthly". Now you can just see if it is something you want.

c) You get charged for the number of months that you get. However, if you purchase multiple, you can "pause" to skip a month and it won't be deducted. My year subscription lasted for 2.5 years :D
Thanks very much!

Metro Exodus and Hellpoint in May's Humble Choice, along with a new subscriber discount

Could I get some advice? I have never done the humble choice thing (I have so many games).

a) How do we know these games will be in next month's choice? (see below)

b) If I join after May 4th, do I miss those games or do they remain part of the sign up month?

c) If I join and then quit, how many months do I get charged for?

Thanks!

Edit: I found the answer to (a) in this blog post:

How did they know exactly what I was looking for right now...?

:-)

Looks fun. I hope it turns out great when they are finished.
