Okay, say that they have released an addon for Blender for modders. Because Blender is under the GNU GPL the addon they release has to be at the very least compatible with the GPL and therefor it should be Free Software. They wouldn’t care. I mean if people can make mods, and improve the addon, it will be easier for them themselves to use it to make assets and everybody benefits. Typical “open source” mindset. And guess what? They did exactly this. Their Blender Addon is under a GPL compatible license ( MIT ). So okay, they at least developed one Free Software thing.
But if you look into it more deeply you will find more interesting things. For example, there is a Free Software python API to drive a special variant of BeamNG called BeamNG Tech. Which is for professional use. Yeah, well… This python thing still requires the proprietary BeamNG tech to be installed. But still. Here is another technically Free Software thing that they developed.
Then if you look even deeper, you will notice that they switched a game engine sometime in the early days of the game. First they used Cry Engine. Which is very proprietary and probably very costly. And then they chose to use a Free Software game engine called Torque 3D instead.
So they are building the game with Free Software on a Free Software game engine for which they built Free Software tools. And yet the game is still proprietary. Even though, as I already said, it feels more like what a Free Software game feels, with community collaboration and an insane level of customize-ability.
Applying this theory means , almost every software that has ever existed is free and open source.

I have played Astro’s Playroom, and it is fun, especially the boss fights.

You should try playing Vice City on a PS2 emulator. Connect your emulator with retroachievements.org and try to get all the achievements. If you can find a legit PS2 copy, it won’t be piracy.

- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
I understand that they are pro-developers, like, they only tale 15% of the sales etc. But why are they anti-consumers?
I use Heroic Games Launcher on Nobara Linux and my experience is more seamless than buying and installing games from Steam. I don’t have to bother with Epic Games Launcher, I just download a game and run via proton or wine.

I have another question.
Can we reprogramme the remote buttons that open Netflix, YouTube etc., so that they open other apps like Jellyfin or something?

Yes?

Here’s a list of films featuring time loops.
- Comment on Are movies where the time loops over and over considered time travel movies? 5 weeks ago:
Naked (2017)
Plot - Rob is caught in a time loop as he keeps waking up naked in a hotel elevator on the day of his wedding. This is a remake of the 2000 Swedish film Naken.
Not a great film, though.
- Comment on Are movies where the time loops over and over considered time travel movies? 5 weeks ago:
Edge of Tomorrow.
Plot - Earth is invaded by aliens. Tom Cruise gets a power where if he dies, the day starts over. So, he keeps pushing forward in the warzone, and if he dies, he knows how he’ll get attacked and adapts to it.

Are you enjoying this game? Do you think it is as good as the reviews?
Personally, I didn’t like the story or the gameplay that much, especially when compared to Uncharted 3, or even 1 and 2. The puzzles were so easy, and the game felt so repetitive. I would say more, but I do not wish to spoil it for you.
It’s a good game, just not as good as the ratings, in my opinion.

I have been using it for a few months, now. I will say the sensors are not perfect, but they do the job. I needed it mostly for calls and notifications.

CMF watch, the old one, is a nice, cheap option, that works with Gadgetbridge, keeping your privacy intact.
