Lame. :/ Guess I’m changing my review then.

I’m gonna wait for the platinum ultimate mega collector’s anthology edition at a 90% discount after 7 years.

I use vmware and it’s an okay experience for me.

Yeah but I think Linux VM is more convenient for me as I don’t have to switch back and forth between operating systems. I can have both operating systems in front of me at once.

I can keep the VM running while playing games with my friends on the Windows host.

I kind of like having Linux on a VM in Windows. I only use Linux for things like web browsing or writing papers which a VM can do. For gaming, I prefer Windows to avoid any problems I might encounter (like anticheats).

This gives me a near-ideal set up with access to both Linux and Windows. I just wish my Linux VM can do 120+hz and GPU passthrough.

I also really like the tunnels feature. It makes self hosting at home easy for those under NAT/CGNAT or whatever it was called.

I use dex and picom now. Every few months I learn something new about running i3wm with no DE.

I haven’t tried it yet but I would rather dual boot for games with anti-cheat that don’t work with Wine or a VM.

It really is bad compared to KVM. Though for my usecase of pandoc+vim, running Debian with VMware does the job. Browsing the web, watching videos, and listening to music are okay too. It’s very bad for GPU accelerated stuff though which is what the Windows host is for.

I want to dual boot again but I’m still working on this project on one of my SSDs so I don’t want to touch anything yet.

Been using Debian stable again this year, but this time in a VM (Windows host. I know, I know.)

I’m very happy with it. I tried other distros but kept coming back to Debian.

Porkbun asks for your ID now so that might not be “privacy-respecting” but their CS is very helpful from my experience.

I have domains in Netim and Spaceship, and I have no problems with either so far.

pict-rs has the option to compress images. Ours is set to WEBP with 1280 pixels either side max.

StarCraft II. It’s on Battle.Net though so you’ll have to download it through Lutris.

The first campaign is free and there’s a coop mode for casual players. Entirely free except for cosmetics, some coop commanders, and the other campaign episodes. It’s easy to pick up IMO but VERY HARD to master. Graphics still hold up better than a lot of games despite being 13 years old. Despite its age, I believe it’s the peak of the RTS genre. There’s are a lot of community-made mods/maps that you can play for free. You can even play a remake of the WarCraft III campaign there.

Other RTS games that I like:

• Age of Empires II (Steam). Graphics look decent enough for the remastered version on Steam. Complex economy system and slow rock-paper-scissors combat. Very slow-paced.
• StarCraft Broodwar (Battle.Net). Remastered graphics also look decent enough. Unit pathing might still have annoying quirks like the original. Slightly slower-paced than StarCraft II.
• Northgard (Steam). Beautiful game with a unique event-type economy system. Slower-paced than StarCraft II with some colony-building elements.

Not really an RTS game but I’ve been putting so many hours into RimWorld (Steam, native) this year. At its core, it’s a colony-building game but it does have some RTS elements to it (economy, combat, and unit management). Lots of mods available.

They’re all bot accounts.

I just checked and while I do have the option and set it to true, I couldn’t load the JXL images on this page.

I don’t remember which update it was but newer versions of Lemmy use significantly less database storage.

I recommend checking out lowendtalk.com if you’re shopping for VPS hosting providers.

You're welcome. I think there should be a better way to communicate a removed or banned community. Maybe like a "removed/banned community for X reason" sign instead of the "community_not_found" error page.

I'm guessing the community was banned and purged by lemmy.ml.

edit: Their modlog says that they removed this community.
