Just to lob a controversial thought in there: There may be some challenges the game industry faces that aren't solely "capitalism bad". The most compelling one I've heard is that, as games as a medium they have to increasingly compete with a growing back catalogue of classics.

Between that and the rise of indie games, it gets increasingly risky to invest in large projects.

(To try and preempt some comments: I am not saying that investors are "right" to pull out of the games industry. I just want people to consider whether the problem, and hence the solution, is more complicated than they first thought)

Some updates after sleeping on it and trying some morning debugging:

  • It's actually either service being enabled that prevents login
  • It's a gnome-shell issue. Logging into a tty is fine, and shows that it's gnome-shell crashing when trying to log-in normally

Maybe it's time to go back to debian...

For me it becomes an issue when I try to make decisions from my character's perspective. If I try to lean into the RP part of RPG then I often feel like I have to leave a load of content behind because it just wouldn't be a high priority.

I agree with the FO1 timer though. I ended up beelining to the necropolis and got trapped in an endgame bunker because I didn't want that timer hanging over me.

Unless, you know, they enjoy doing that

I can't imagine that's any more free than bitwarden?

In my experience it Just Works ™️. I spin up a distro/toolbox, compile some software (e.g. Emacs) then run the executable inside the container, and up pops the GUI window.

If you use distrobox, you can even distrobox-export desktop files, at which point a containerised gui application is practically indistinguishable from one installed on the host system

Underrated comment.

I do wish that people could take their health more seriously without being guilt tripped about struggling pubs.

If its the courtyard I'm thinking of, a well placed fireball can also be the most satisfying spell of the game.

My favourite spell for Shadowheart was always spirit guardians. Partly just because it was funny to watch her dashing around the map, mopping up weaklings.

So yeah, going 100% air-source heat pump if you're area regularly spends time around -30°C (-22F) might not be the best idea. Though even the last report you cited said it might be 1.5-2x as efficient as resistive heating. And that Site 1 with bad COPs was because they manually lowered the fan speed...

Games.

Other than basic things like Tetris (Quadrapassel) and minesweeper, I've not yet found an open source game I've enjoyed nearly as much as the countless proprietary games I own and play.
