  • I’d been using linux for work for a couple years and it was going fine. I had a pretty crappy laptop at home with limited storage and I was constantly wrestling with Windows storing update stuff, installing adware during updates, etc.

    I’d heard of proton and about how well it was going with it, so I had an idea linux gaming was possible.

    Eventually something happened during a windows update that required I reinstall the OS and I just pulled out the flash drive I used to install linux on my work machine and tried it out. Eventually I did have to dual boot (on a bigger drive) for some games, but nowadays I’m all linux everywhere.



  • Romania is easily explained with the fact that a lot of it is rural and basically everyone living in a village has a cat. There are also stray city cats that people feed that they might consider as theirs.

    Turkey and Greece are a bit more surprising to me. I guess people don’t consider stray cats theirs even if they feed them.

    Several people have already raised concerns with the fact that they got banned from several unrelated .ml communities by the same mod for breaking the rules in one community. There are several topics with broad appeal that have their largest community on .ml. Switching instances is basically the same as making another account because you’re still subject to the .ml moderation.

    I think you’re leaving money on the table

    For some people that is ok

    intentionally limiting who can experience the art you’re trying to share with the world

    Almost every musician, painter, or sculptor ever has done that. It is ok.

    You don’t HAVE to include more than the basic colorblind option

    I think most devs could include stuff like colorblind options or rebindable control schemes and such, and I definitely think they should

    better products for it

    Difficulty is not the same as colorblind mode. Colorblind mode is the same as creating closed captions for movies, difficulty is the same as changing the movie to fit another audience. Difficulty is part of the game.

    it COULD be a better game if they did

    It would be a different game, that they are not trying to make.

    Yet another thing that’s impossible to discuss without being strawmanned by both sides. I’m not a hardcore gamer and for the most part play on medium or just slightly above medium difficulty in most video games.

    I don’t think a dev should have to accommodate customers that they don’t want to accommodate, and this goes beyond difficulty. Souls games don’t need a difficulty choice in the same way that Firewatch doesn’t. Gacha games don’t need to improve the f2p experience because those are games for whales.

    It’s like asking for sex drugs and rock&roll in disney movies and pg 13 horror movies.
