LoL sucks, it’s like a shallow copy of DotA. I’ve played around 300 hours, it’s very silly in comparison.

Stellaris is kinda easy once you figure out that expanding is the No1 priority for the entire game. Expand, build ships - nobody will be able to stop you.

There was always a need for a ‘tall’ empire - so you don’t expand, but focus on your small part of the galaxy - but so far it’s always crushed by the expanding ones.

Once you get stargate tech, it’s 24/7 war. For even more territory.

Right now I remembered a game that never was really finished, Stardrive, where you could design your own ships down to the electrical wiring. It had layouts with sections, and you could fill it up to your liking. It was a shame that ground troops could finish the game in minutes.

Sometimes I feel like 4X games are usually more suited for roleplaying than actual challenge of micromanagement.

Anyway, I have a huge jam on my main line in OpenTTD, gotta fix my intersection again.

Dota 2.

I’ve played Dwarf Fortress, Stellaris, yet I still find Dota to be the most complex game ever.

It sucks that it’s a multiplayer game, and you need people to play it well with you, but when it works, it’s amazing.

Everything in it has layers of usability, usually componded by the everything else in the game - hero abilities, items, map, neutrals, even the stupid trees play a large role in the game.

I’ve spent hundreds of hours studying the mechanics, and I still don’t grasp everything.

I played a lot of DotA too, but that doesn’t have a playtime counter. But I have over 3000 hours in Dota 2.

My second favourite game is OpenTTD. It’s just so satisfying to optimize the train network and add another 100 trains to it. I’ve tried Factorio, but for some reason that did not scratch that itch.

Or some roguelites, like Slay the Spire (or the Touhou: Lost Branch of Legend), Synthetik (haven’t tried second one yet), they are always fun.

Non-voters are excused, abstained are fully complicit.

Artifact? Both of them?

Very unpopular

No, there are DRM games on GOG (or have been anyway).

And Steam also has DRM-free games.

/b/ was never good.

except for MLP, that was peak

Oh my

Beatings will continue

Palestine obviously

Not really a language-specific problem, but why should that stop us from this goal?

Gentoo OpenRC gang rise up!

Boo freaking hoo.

It’s not like there are so many other ways to cheat, actually used in many games with anticheats.

We should all stop pretending it’s necessary to put malware into your computer just so some company can claim they have no cheaters, which is never even true.

The number one reason not to switch is “I don’t want to”. And I dislike that Windows users keep repeating decades old solved issues as excuses instead of being honest.

‘But muh games’ only very few don’t work OOB or at all.

‘I need this software’ most works flawlessly under Wine.

‘It crashes’ exactly as often as Windows with faulty hardware or bug in a driver.

‘Hardware isn’t plug&play’ more hardware works with Linux without installing drivers.

Jusy say “I dont want to give it a shot” or “I’m in the minority that can’t switch”, but don’t bullshit people about Linux requiring cmd to work. And those people then suggest editing registry to remove ads… It’s dishonest and in bad faith.

FOSS is the only way forward to stop complete enshittification of the digital space, like it or not.

Also I hate Microsoft and Apple with all my soul.

I get that most don’t care, but that doesn’t mean supporting those companies is good.

So theres BSD, truth.

Thats… what Robinhood doesn’t advertise, and (at least used to) always buys options by default.

So fuck Robinhood.

Where is the app that has only one button ‘Buy ESG’?

Or what?
