Still is.

I use Jitsi for my voip / screen share

If you control the main server, breaking federation is not a problem.

Yeah, but it still popped into my mind sooner than other games, dunno why,

Nee study confirms.

Specially with little boys!

You are not paying for breathable air right now, what do you expect?

This is actually a kinda solved problem.

Visit a casino resort. I did it once, looking for a hotel, didn’t realize it was a casino. But no children anywhere near.

Just quiet and calm atmosphere.

LLMentalist to the rescue

It does need a PGP integration.

I mean I know why it won’t, and never in Gmail, but we do need it.

I tried playing it, but the combat… the combat, man, I can play many games, finished Elden Ring, played ton of CS1.6, Dota 2, Terraria Infernum… but Sekiro I could not finish.

I’ve heard it’s a rhytmic game, but I suck at those, too.

Games I haven’t seen mentioned yet:

• Fez - cute little 2D/3D platformer. It’s amazing and very wholesome

• Stalker: Shadow of Chenrobyl - dunno what exactly is it, perhaps the settings and the grit, but it has a special place in my heart. It’s about average FPS, but not too long and for me enjoyable

• F.E.A.R. - very good FPS, with amazingly scripted enemies, decent horror elements (not compulsory - you might miss some of them if you’re not looking).

• Prince of Persia: Warrior Within - for me the best 3rd person action adventure ever. Best combat hands down (or head, or torso, you choose), streamlined blade dance at your fingertips. You play with your enemies, and you get many tools. There are some locked camera issues.

• Touhou: Lost branch of time - If you liked Slay the Spire, but wished for colorful mana, this is the game for you. It has anime artstyle, I usually focus on the cards, though it might turn some people off

• Dota 2 - Dunno if it was mentioned and I didn’t see, but the mechanics are absolutely amazing, the things the game lets you get away with are incredible. 10/10, but other people might bring your experience down. Specially friends. Can play against custom (workshop) bots. Still takes too long to git gud. I studied the game for 10 years and still sucked.

• Divinity 2: Original Sin - also haven’t seen a mention, everybody talks about BG3, I haven’t yet played it, but D2:OS was also a masterpiece. Haven’t played a lot of TRPGs, this was a blast, with easily set up multiplayer. Played through it twice completely, with many abandoned runs.

• CS 1.6 - remember that? I lost my childhood to that. They don’t make counter strikes this good anymore.

• Synthetik - top-down rougelike shooter, with amazing weapons and physics and classes and enemies and mechanics and 2 person multiplayer

• Dwarf Fortress - the real objectively best game :D strategy simulation of the 3D box world, predecesor to both Minecraft and Terraria, but with A LOT more sand in your box. They are still extending it. And it’s on Steam if you want a UI.

• Terraria (Calamity mod) - Terraria is obviously a great game, but what makes it 20/10 is the mods. Calamity specifically. Tripple the content, 5x the difficulty (20x if you try Infernum), amazing multiplayer experience. Don’t install Infernum if you haven’t beaten at least Revengeance on Calamity. Trust me, it will fuck you up.

• Yakuza 0 - how could I forget about this masterpiece? Story done absolutely right, that game had no business making me feel so strongly about it. Cool combat, very funny moments, but I cried during it. If you haven’t tried it, check it out. You won’t regret it.

• OpenTTD - Trains. Do you like to create and manage big rail systems? This is for you. And your friends. Only noobs use planes. Only psychos use boats. Nobody uses only vehicles.

I tried to play that game, expecting perhaps a DMC-like gameplay.

Instead I got a 2D plane scroller?

Then 2D sort of platformer?

Then some weird 3D action that I did not understand at all?

What the fuck is that game.

If I enjoyed combat more, I could give it another go. But it was just not for me.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

Hands down best action adventure ever.

That combat was soo smooth and satisfying.

I want to replay it every year, but it hangs shortly after start on my Steam Deck.

I would suggest paying everyone the same. Janitor, CEO, doctors, etc.

If everyone has the same money, we will be equal. Ideally even people who can’t work.

And stop producing wasteful shit. Stop advertisment, that alone would change the world for the better. Stop capitalism while we’re at it.

And give everyone the same baseline quality of life until we can guarantee it for everyone and forever.

Then we can talk about who gets paid more.

Smoked 2 cigs way back when.

Only coughed with no benefits.

Why?

Executives are paid a lot just for the lols.

I can’t recall a single big company CEO that actually warranted the big paycheck. There are some very capable people, but even still.

Public utility doesn’t need any risk taking, other than some investments into possible new technologies, but they just need to maintain the existing infrastructure and build new one according to plans.

All Star Wars suck balls.

I can’t believe people like it for any other reason than nostalgia.

There are so many better pieces of media.

I fully support promoting CSS to be Turing complete if I never have to touch JS for the UI elements ever again.
