Far as I’m concerned, Denuvo just means “play something else”.

What’s with the random kishin in there?


Looks like it, I get an error too. Here’s a working one:


No, I don’t think it’s just AAA games that don’t deserve all the hype, I think indie games can be overrated too. To give an example of both categories:
For AAA, it has to be The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for me. And, I suppose, by extension Tears of the Kingdom. Good games, great characters and I really like the guardian enemy designs. Additionally, the game is a great showcase of what the hardware in the Nintendo Switch is capable of. The game is also highly rated on review sites and has received so many awards, wikipedia actually has to list them in a spreadsheet.
However, I genuinely think previous Zelda games are more fun. I think the vast, open world actually hurts the game, as it gradually becomes less about exploring and more about checking off tasks like finishing shrines and finding korok seeds. Previous Zelda games had smaller, more focused worlds and I think they were better for it. And even one would choose to ignore that, there’s the fact that weapons break every two seconds and you constantly have to replace them, which I feel most reviewers just glossed over. Combat is pretty frequent, after all, so it does get grating. In previous Zelda games you get the weapon and you keep it.
For indie, I have to point at Don’t Starve. And I want to focus on the original, not Don’t Starve Together, which has a slightly different approach. Very pretty, with great animations, involved game mechanics and great replayability. It is also well reviewed and was nominated for several awards (I think it only won one, but being nominated is impressive enough, I think).
I liked it well enough, but ultimately bounced off it. Reason being, I found the game kind of stingy with telling you how some of its mechanics work, so I played it with a wiki open in my browser. I also couldn’t bring myself to make additional playthroughs because of its glacial progression.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I hope this explains my position a little bit.


No clue what name rater in pokemon is, but you do have OpenCritic, MetaCritic and the various awards some games get. I don’t think liking a game and thinking it’s overrated are mutually exclusive.


According to this thread overrated means either “games I didn’t like” or “games that didn’t work for me”.


“When I say jump, you say how high!”
“No, not like that!”
Marketing/occupations in advertising.
For a second I mistook his harmonica for a gun.


It feels like people admitting their mistakes is a rarity these days. Good on Gitlab!


I’d like to read it! Also, your friend doesn’t sound like a friend at all.
…and independently maintained by one developer for the entire world…
This makes me uneasy. Hats off to them and best of luck to their endeavours, but I would still rather choose Void simply due to the fact that there’s a team behind the project as opposed to one individual. Something happens to them and then what?
More Chromium. Yay.


Actually, there’s still stuff like localmonero and bisq which were non-KYC when I last checked, but your point still stands.


What’s happening with Vimeo? I haven’t used it in an age.
Well, for this meme specifically, because it’s a waste of water and electricity to “create” a meme that already exists.
You’re right, it doesn’t mean that. But they do all suck.

Thanks for this. The message is really disheartening to read. But points #2 and #3 in particular just piss me off. Just shitty moves all around and of course AI is somehow involved in this. We can’t ever have nice things, man.

Ugh, a dagger in my heart. That sucks, I really like Myrient. Anyone know what their Discord and/or Telegram channels have to say about this? I don’t have an account for either (nor do I want one).
I’m running Artix Linux with dinit and worry not, Mullvad does work. It just needs an additional step. I followed the instructions from this Artix forum topic, so I can vouch for that. I later discovered I probably could have just installed this AUR package, but I never tested that. The AUR also seems to have packages for runit and openrc, if that’s more your speed. You may want to do a test run in VirtualBox or something.
Anyway, good luck!
