You know, I bought the collection from GOG when they had 2000, 3, and 4 in a bundle…
I haven;t played since 2k on DOS, and should probably try the newer ones.
I was a fan of MAXIS, but pretty much wrote the series off after EA got involved.
They have the sync option to update without downloading the whole package again, GearLevel does this, but that’s a flatpak, there are several more options as well or just manual updates. Some of them even update themselves, if you trust the packager. And given how easy it is for random people to dump unofficial ports on Flathub I would check who made them there as closely as I do for my AppImages.
I’ve run them with everything from AntiX to Nobara to Arch to Gentoo to…
I do like the granular Android-like controls for flatpaks, using flatseal or something similar is almost idiot proof, so I’m not upset there are flatpaks… Only when there are just flatpaks.
No problem with Flathub, but FFS I wish so many projects would stop having all their releases and flatpaks or those damn snaps.
If you’re going to do just one format why not AppImage? It is portable, easy to use, multiple ways to sandbox it, and newer versions have the option to create their own home directory so the files created stay with the AppImage for use on portable drives or between users on a shared partition.
I’d always done my sowing, and my sewing, by hand.
Sorry, isn’t “sex offender” synonymous with the Guardians of Pedophiles?
Archive link forthe “We block your VPN, now gimmie dat IP!” site?
By the time he’s done with the economy that’ll almost buy a combo meal at the cheapest burger spot in town.
There are valid used for gaze focused head mounted ameras.
There is no reason for them to be in RayBams…
Unless RayBam wants to encourage replacements from damage caused by punching anyone wearing their products in the face.
I left wben they stopled letting me sort my feed as followed conternt in chronological order.
I tend to forget tehy exist, then see someone say “There’s a 1.0 release!” like just popped up for Valheim.
I mean I did the same with PalWorld, though…
The pathing was so atrocious I gave up and didn;t bother trying again until the 1.0 release.
But I bought that more to say “Fuck You!” to Nintendo than for itself :P
Unless Todd GTFO I kinda don’t want them to ever touch TES again.
Microsoft said…
Our panel of experts has determined that is a lie!
I hadn’t finished.
It doesn’t matter.
Stock up on torches, pitchforks, tar, and feathers.
Which would be a generally good idea if 99% of the country didn’t require a car to do anything.
I’ve had a few “updates” forced on me by Steam that broke games, so I only buy DRM-Free with offline installers, now. I own Civ4 from GOG, Civ5 IIRC is a Tenoke pack I torrented.
Nope,I run through a permanent VPN, so it can say “You already did this” when I did not. An exit refresh works, just need to get an IP nobldy else used.
4 & 5 are pretty close, in my book, but 4 has a GOG release and 5 is still a cracked Steam copy rather than owned, so I pick the one they let me buy.
My ick comes from the centralized repositories, basically building app stores for Linux, and pushing them beyond a distro specific things that usually still have other options on top of the deb or rpm or whatever.
With them fiddling around trying to invade every bit of privacy and us just barely escaping the California law with no idea if it will hold out for future ones I think any centralized source is a liability and should be avoided.
Also, the systemd jackass throwing his own narcissit tech bro bullshit into it to bow down, lick the boot, and comply in advance is another real concern as most distros have moved to it from other init systems. There has to be enough fragmentation here for us to move away from fascist fuckery, and the ridiculous reliance on a single type of packaging isn’t good for being able to sidestep stupidity if/when it spread to the people in control of the codebase.
