The EU regulators have many flaws but news like this gives me some hope

I prefer Linux as a OS, so I'm really happy that I can play games that aren't supported by devs. And it has benefits - since Linux is a better OS by a mile some games work better on it. For example Valheim on Windows is unplayable for me since it shuts down my computer after 5 - 20 mins, while on Linux it runs without problems and has smaller FPS drops in my gigantic castle. Maybe it's a bad example since it has support for Linux, but Ravenswatch doesn't and also has better performance on Linux through Proton.

Oh yes, the "AI", how could I forget. All aboard the hype train!

I'd argue that Minecraft and Stardew Valley do visually look good. Looking good doesn't mean that it has to look like a AAA game with realistic graphics. Very old games like Super Mario Bros 3 look great even today. Pixel art games if done with care look fantastic. What I didn't like about this game when looking at the trailer on Steam is that the world looks barren - specifically, look at the 35s mark on their Steam video. I see that there are some other visually appealing scenes in the trailer, but some scenes just look unfinished. I agree I was a bit harsh, but the couple of close-ups in the trailer left a really bad impression on me.

Yep, I'm so happy when I hear how shitty Win 11 is. Enjoy your ads, currency exchange rates that for some reason cycle on the taskbar, traffic information, and what not.

Without going into the specific program you use because I'm not familiar with it, I'd say the most important thing is good technique and posture. All exercises' are much easier if you don't do them correctly (other muscles start helping out). So don't pump reps like crazy. Do it a little slower but be mindful about the muscles that should be working out. And if you have correct technique all of the sudden it becomes much harder because intended muscles are activated.

Look on youtube for how to do workouts correctly and WRITE IT DOWN because you'll forget. And before every exercise remind yourself about the correct posture.

Thanks, I've been really enjoying it so far. Most of the people on the communities I've joined are really civil and respectful and you can disagree without instantly getting 100 downvotes. Reddit somehow made me think toxic people are normal.

How about a smoke alarm subscription? Or even better, handbrake subscription!

I really like that you have to take into account what your villagers like and build the city around their needs. It makes choosing the type of buildings exciting every run. And then making sure that the production is fast enough so that the needs are satisfied.

I didn't play the games you mention so I don't know what do you enjoy about them, but for me this game was a fantastic surprise. It somehow gives me the old Warcraft III vibe, without the "building an army" part that I didn't enjoy and was never good at.

I'm not a security expert so I can't say if your right on that point, but somehow I trust the Mozilla foundation much more than Google. Isn't the whole point of their browser to allow them to spy on you?

Ok, that's a good point. I'm glad you enjoy that part of the game. I wasn't really interested in "talking" to NPC-s and giving them gifts so I skipped that part of the game and certainly missed what some people like the most about it. As I said, not my cup of tea.

Many people love Stardew Valley so I gave it a go. It was fun for a couple of hours, but it doesn't really have any depth. But you can go to the tavern and hop on an arcade machine with a really fun minimalist twin-stick shooter called Journey of the Prairie King that's actually pretty great. It's fast paced and unforgiving, and I spent more time playing that than on actual farming and what not.
