Quoting: PublicNuisanceManjaro has been irking me of late and I used to enjoy Solus when I used it years back, may have to give it another go.
I've been cutting Manjaro out as well....

RimWorld 1.3 and the Ideology DLC are officially out now
28 Jul 2021 at 1:37 pm UTC

Quoting: PhiladelphusHaven't played RimWorld in a while now, and the first expansion didn't really catch my interest, but this one seems a bit more interesting. Might get back into it soon…
Similar to me, although I have a recent game going. I'm not really interested in the Royal expansion, but I do want this one.

Ryan Gordon and Ethan Lee on Proton and the Steam Deck
28 Jul 2021 at 1:27 pm UTC

Ethan Lee sounds a bit whiny to me. As a business owner, it's his job to study the market and decide if he has something to offer. Markets and industries change, which results in job change too. His is somewhat specialized, which can be highly valuable until it's no longer needed and customers can cut the expense as soon as possible. He shouldn't take it personally.

Space station building and management sim Starmancer confirmed for GOG
20 Jul 2021 at 7:26 pm UTC

I feel like I've been waiting a long time. Space Haven looks cool, but Starmancer has always been the one I wanted first. I'm even a bit tempted to get the EA version as long as they release that to GOG.

It's a pretty sweet controller!

American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 get an online Convoy mode
17 Jul 2021 at 6:23 am UTC

This is a pretty cool option. I'm down for it. I only played the game a little bit. This co-op mode feels like something low-key to do while chatting with a buddy, which means I have more draw to it now.

Klei address some long-term concerns in Oxygen Not Included in the latest update

Between this and RimWorld, I think they're both different enough to warrant having both, but I ultimately prefer RimWorld. In ONI, your main threats are lack of water and managing gasses. You are very cramped, yet expansion kinda hurts you because of travel time. Threats in RimWorld are easier for me to manage. The structure you build in RimWorld doesn't really corner you and kill your options like it does in ONI.
