The live music industry would be so happy about such an abundance of competition

Endless legend is undoubtedly a great game but I never liked the hero thing they have going on unfortunately.

I've played humankind quite a bit actually. I had fun for a while but although I liked the idea at first I don't love the leader switching system as it is implemented in humankind.

Sometimes I wonder why companies make decisions like this. But then I remember just how many completely braindead executives are out there.

At least it's not denuvo anti cheat but their anti tamper is bad enough. Civ 6 is my most played game and I guess I'll have more time to play it now after all... It's really too bad I was very excited to try out the new features they've added.

I'm guessing mods won't be using the steam workshop but the launcher so that consoles can have mods...

Civ 7 won't be using the 2k launcher. They announced that when they removed it from civ 6.

That's a different story. This one is about that time Russia/USSR paid pepsi with old military equipment to get around sanctions. I think they couldn't actually receive it because they're not allowed to have that but it's a funny story regardless. I think someone already posted the link

Board game the Chinese players the option to download their account data before shutting down the servers. Whoever did that will (presumably) have the option to upload that data once the services are restored.

Afaik neither blizzard or netease saved any of the data. Blizzard didn't because Chinese players' data can't be stored on servers outside of china and netease didn't because...fuck 'em?

I looked into it and tried it myself just today. For the most part it's fine but you'll have to be prepared to do some tinkering here and there. Most of the games I wanted to play are listed on proton as works but with some issues.

I set up popOS yesterday and tried to install satisfactory today via steam but it wouldn't let me and when I filtered my games lost for Linux it shrank down to a very small list. Iirc it was listed on proton as gold or even platinum so there must be a way to get satisfactory to run but I honestly couldn't be asked today so I set up dual boot and went back to windows for now.

I think that's the way to got for a newbie. Set up dual boot and whenever you have the time & patience to try to get something to work on Linux go for it but when you just want to relax and play some games (or multiplayer) boot up windows.

I think Linux for everyday use is just fine even though popOS could use some UX designers.

Even just going off the article you posted "helped" is a strong word in regards to distributing malware through their framework. It appears that their framework had simply been hijacked by hackers to distribute malware and they had no involvement in that.

I'm not saying they're trustworthy but the situation isn't nearly as bad as this biased summary suggests.

The same website has rated express VPN as one of the most trustworthy vpns in their most recent review. Based on the high amount of independent audits the company is performing.

Definitely do more research. I'm going to look into it myself but I'm paying until June anyways and I don't think an immediate switch is necessary.

Again? Hasn't changed for me since they started doing that in November. YouTube is quite annoying to use for me these days, the site takes forever to load and only starts loading when I switch to the tab. Best thing to do is adding everything to a queue, videos load normally then for some reason. As a result I'm using YouTube less though, so not necessarily a bad thing.

Right, because murderers share their kills on social media? You can sort out some creeps but those can't hide it if you text with them for a few days either. I don't think you'd spot most murderers or rapists by looking through their social media.

I read this morning that return dislike no longer works, apparently YouTube changed something in the backend. Might want to verify that and potentially remove it from the list for now
