If I had the energy I would comb through your account and profile you to prove you wrong. Even with the shittiest shitpost with as little sense as possible you are still putting part of yourself out there. Pair that up with comments and other posts and one can find out more about you than you want.

Safe and clean games like my own Diarrhea 4.

Fucking hell. But violence is still, ok, right?
- Comment on What was the Nazi Germany equivalent to "Ted Lasso"? 3 days ago:
I’ve started reading my grandma’s memoirs and luckily she doesn’t try to hide what she thought of the Nazis back then. And according to her that hero figure was Adolf Hitler. The worker’s man who finally does something against the evil communists and help make Germany feel better again.
For her that even was the case at first. Her husband had a good job at a newspaper that printed propaganda so she wasn’t poor anymore. And he was part of the party and later organised propaganda-vacations that made everyone (non-jewish) feel good.
Then his benefits started to be cut, they went from having a car plus a car with chauffeur, to just having the one with the chauffeur until that was cut as well. But I think that was just part of life for them. I think the only time they themselves felt any repression under the regime was when they couldn’t give their firstborn daughter her intended name because it was of Jewish origin.
Then the war started, he was drafted and later fell. When he was home once he was treated with respect because of his uniform. During the war my grandma had to flee from bombs from city to city with now two daughters, living with relatives. At times it felt like vacation, at others it was bad for everyone.
Haven’t gotten to the end of the war yet in the book. Unfortunately Long Covid made reading so much difficult for me. I now found a decent AI text to speach to read the book to me. That seems to be easier to handle and I can hopefully soon continue when my PC is done.

- Comment on How do people calculate pi to the hundredth+ decimal place? 1 week ago:
Meh, spacetime curvature has so little effect that it actually does come down to measurement accuracy. And if you go to the scale of the whole universe it is flat as far as we currently know.
Now I wonder how LISA will handle curvature changes due to sun, earth and moon moving around, or if they won’t make enough of a difference.

- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 13th 1 week ago:
For the first time in forever I am playing multiple games at the same time.
Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos. I had that game as a kid but I don’t think I ever got any further than the first enemy. And it’s amazing! The whole game is dubbed. And it has four protagonists to choose from, each with their individual voice lines about basically any situation or item you come across. And all the NPC’s lines match them and they address you by name.
And the graphics are super beautiful. Pixel graphics but with great details and animations. Like when you get your spellbook you get a super elaborate T-1000-like animation of some droplets forming a scroll.
X-Wing via XWVM: The old X-Wing game with updated graphics and quality of life improvements. Just awesome! It’s still an alpha but basically plays like a beta. I have hardly any bugs, just occasional crashes, and none are game breaking. And supposedly they are already pretty far along with TIE Fighter compatibility. Can’t wait to play that. TIE Fighter TC is nice and all, but stuffing everything into the X-Wing Alliance engine feels pretty clunky while XWVM just works.
Cyberpunk 2077: My son bought it on sale and I wanted to try it as well, although I don’t really like cyberpunk. Too realistic. But the game is great. Plays like a combination of Deus Ex and GTA. I’d say it feels more like the original Deus Ex than the newer Deus Ex games. Maybe with slightly less open levels. But not much.
Limbo: The game is about to be delisted from GOG so I got it quickly. It’s chill to play which suits me well. Love it so far.

- Comment on Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam? 2 weeks ago:
Proton is mostly a fork of Wine which has been used for decades to run Windows software on Linux. Valve didn’t do all the hard work by themselves.
- Comment on Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, Proton runs outside of Steam in Heroic and Lutris. That’s basically what the umu project is about. I think it works in Bottles as well.
Almost everything Valve has done for Linux gaming is open source and will remain even if they go away and lock everything down tomorrow.

- Comment on What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves? 2 weeks ago:
In almost every game the gameplay tips and tutorials they give you are not only suboptimal but often outright counterproductive. This is especially bad in multiplayer games.
It was really nice in Doom Eternal, where they added quick swapping to the tips.
- Comment on What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves? 2 weeks ago:
In the same vein, when the game starts immediately without giving you a chance to configure it. Because the default configuration is always wrong.

The Steam Deck is great in that regard. Just put it to sleep.
