Slightly off-topic but recently I saw a bunch of these under the rayshader tag on mastodon, seems like https://fosstodon.org/@terence posts a lot of them if you want to check some out (edit: I might want to clarify that they are likely generated based on data rather than photos from space, though)
I just switched from linux mint to lmde 6 as well and it does feel very much the same cinnamon-y DE I left. The only difference so far is I had to install nvidia drivers myself as it doesn't seem to come with a driver manager like mint did. I've gotten everything else I used so far set up fine but… I guess I haven't tried gaming yet which I guess might be important to check out, will have to soon
Or am I missing something?
I think the only distinguishing factor is to target, it must gather data. So that means your activity is being tracked, stored, and shared with third parties. Of course for some people this will matter more than to others, but for those privacy focused you now know for certain they are storing data on you, potentially making money off of selling it, with no way to opt out.
Wait the suggestion of Jet Set Radio made me think
Now those are some classics, time to break out the PS2
I admittedly don’t follow mastodon development much but wonder if there are plans to allow switching it out. I know firefish allows meilisearch which I’ve read is far more efficient
I’m kind of sad about how large games have become and how little goes into optimizing that since “space is cheap”; though it seems people don’t really care about the bandwidth (environmental) cost of downloading that now that everything has gone digital (not that I’m saying physical doesn’t have waste).
I just kind of wish there were alternates, maybe high-res (free) DLC packs or audio localization packs which I feel like were done in the past but never really became a thing. I find myself sticking to indie games that are only hundreds of MBs instead.
I don’t think the article provides any conclusions besides beat games faster to delete them to clear space.
They mention this in the dialogue when you click the button but you can immediately go to https://www.gog.com/en/account/settings/subscriptions and just uncheck the option. I’ve done this so often on gog I’ve just gotten into the habit of immediately opening that page and unchecking it, basically every time you get a free game from them it checks the promotions option
Might want to check out beat 'em up categories as well. I really enjoy River City Girls 1 and 2 (2 having more QoL improvements), but it might not be for everyone.
Similar to what was said about overcooked/CSD, there’s also Plate Up! which I enjoy but am not sure myself how local co-op is
Had fun playing Maiden and Spell but didn't seem like there was any online matchmaking available by the time I got the game, so when I saw this I added it to my follow list. Thanks for the heads up, will give it a try.
