Lula Molusco, Squid Mollusc if translated back to english.

https://chestofbooks.com/crafts/index.html - has a bunch of stuff from old USA books and magazines. Seems that the Crafts section is the most impressive

Ah yes, I’m sure it was microslop who decided to make firefox add an AI the community voted against

The article is only referring to the more recent price hikes caused by RAM shortage, so no wonder it feels like a cheap shot to say “ai bad”, which is correct, but misses the fucking forest - consoles are really expensive without offering that big of a “bang for your buck” as they once did decades ago, capitalism shifting most companies into whatever is the current most lucrative fad of the moment, companies fighting against players’ ownership of games in the form of “Live service battlepass with extra skins”, company heads demanding maximum profit

Man, I’ll start telling that to my boss whenever I miss a deadline. “Sorry boss, the code I made is too powerful, we can’t release it”

Photostat machines, never heard of them before, seems like a good lead, thanks!

“YOUR MOTHER’S A TRACER!!”

I guess Tracer really is carrying Overwatch on her bare back

Awesome, gonna take a look on that one!

Slopya Nadella: “Oh no, people are complaining this is the worst windows ever! We must do something!”

and this is the result. /slowclap

Gymnasts. They’re fucking awesome in regards to what they can do with their bodies

Some steam games might still have the steampi and steamworks dll’s, so that’s still 2 bits that need to be deleted before they’re effectively identical.

Having the installers can be important, not every game may work out of the box if you only copy the installed folder to a different machine, some important configurations that are set up in different folders, like in %appdata%, might be missing. Steam checks if DirectX and the proper MSVC versions are installed, I suppose the GOG installers do that as well.

Can I come back as a black hole?

You can only download steam games from the steam app. You can download gog games from the site, without using their galaxy app

They allow you to make as many offline backup copies of the games’ installers as you want and you don’t need to use any of their services after purchase (except downloading from their site), it’s as close as it gets to “digital ownership”

Usually the UI, character limit per post (mastodon is 500, misskey-like tend to be 5000) and reactions - misskey lets instances create custom reactions, like those you can see on discord servers

Saints Row games. They’re like GTA, but increasingly over the top in their parody. You’re the boss of a criminal gang. 2 is still “normal parody” and a bit dated, 3 jumped the shark while doing a kickflip with a jet ski, 4 is even more insane.

Sleeping Dogs you play as a cop, but you can betray the law and side more with the criminals.

Warcraft 3 (old but gold) - the human campaign of the base game gets you from a hopeful young paladin prince into a cold, vengeful psychopath; the following undead campaign is said prince (well, king now) finishing the job of killing everyone and further fucking everything. The expansion has 3 extra campaigns, none with “good guys”

Divinity Original Sin (1 and 2) lets you play as big of an asshole as you’d like. Of the Elder Scrolls games, Morrowind is the one that lets you be the biggest bad guy around (you can still finish the game even if you kill every important npc and break every quest)

Brazil is mostly fine thus far, we’re kind screwed with diesel tho, which we don’t refine locally

Instructions unclear, now Chrome Edge webview is running every cloud application as a separate electron process

Something that annoys me immensely is how 99% of the launchers on f-droid are “type on the search bar to find the fucking app”

Personally, I use Fossify Launcher, which is “default android launcher, no bullshit”

Not as bad a bitchute, though that alone isn’t enough to make it “good” or even “ok” regarding content and userbase.

VanilloTV and Glomble might be worth checking out, the latter mainly for the very “weird internet” feel
