It's kinda difficult to find cracked Linux-native games, though one site that I do know which has a section for it is Torrminator. Don't really want to get in trouble with the mods so can't post the link, but if you do end up finding the site, then I hope it has whatever games you're looking for.
Recently went back to OSRS after getting recommended a video essay about how Runescape is good that included a rant about capitalism ruining the enjoyment of labor and capitalism. It was funny enough to make me go back
Don't fall into doomerism - news companies are companies, and negativity gets people on their platforms for much longer than positivity, it's easy to get addicted to it. Set time limits or limit the amount of news you consume per day/per week.
Recognize that caring about something requires mental energy - if you had 1 friend who asks you to care about their hobby or learn a bit more, then you might agree, but if you have 20 friends with different hobbies asking the same thing, then there's no way you can care about all of them. Similar thing applies to the news, recognize that you can't care about everything and try learning how to stay informed without giving up lots of mental energy stressing about things you can't really influence.
It's admirable wanting to keep up with the news, but it also can be a bit of a trap and does require a degree of skill to not fall into what you describe in your post.
A few weeks ago there was this article posted here about why some game companies are trying so hard to kill their old video games and give 0 shits about preservation (as in delisting them from stores, not selling them anymore, etc.).
One of the answers given by the publishers in the article basically boils down to "old, preserved games would compete with the newer ones and eat into their sales", which does say quite a lot - they don't care about losing sales of older video games, all that matters is the sales of the newer ones, preservation be damned.
Disco Elysium features communism and communists (bad) but also has a couple of homosexuals (a secret cabal of organized people dead-set on destroying the ideals of nuclear family) as characters. I'd suggest you guys avoid the game at all costs, it's too dangerous.
What you're describing is not exactly gaming, but a different hobby entirely which is sometimes referred to as benchmarking. I've dabbled in it myself for some games, and the goal isn't to experience and talk about the game as it is, but to figure out how to benchmark, best settings for performance and all that jazz.
Discussions about specific games for their merits are still very much alive on the internet though, you usually have to go to reddit and look for a dedicated subreddit for the game you're interested in or their itch/discord if it's a small indie game.
Maybe it's because the guy is a relevant public figure, and if he were to say something along the lines of "the bastard deserved it" he'd face a ton of consequences for it? This is so much easier to do in an online space where you are anonymous, especially in an admittedly echochambery place like lemmy.
I do recall the Trump's first assassination attempt, and some celebrities (can't recall the names right now) did come out and say something along the lines of "shame the guy missed" which made the media start hounding and targeting them, with their colleagues being forced to disavow or kick them from their projects entirely.
It would be cool if Tim Walz or any influential figure went "rip bozo" regardless though
On one hand, Twitter has become a real neo-nazi platform that openly spreads misinformation/propaganda/rage-bait in the guise of 'free speech' with the owner also abusing their powers by stealing handles and censoring and whatnot. The world would be better off without it if it were to die.
On the other, Twitter is still quite a big name with a lot of influence, with alternatives being much more niche. If every decent person was to leave the platform and all that's left are neo-nazis and "good-faith-neither-left-nor-right-people-who-always-strangely-support-the-right", it's just going to make recruitment much easier.
Wonder how it's actually going to be enforced. Judging from the article, it'll all be up to the tech companies themselves which historically didn't turn out to be that effective (examples: age fields on services like Discord and Gmail and porn).
The only effective way I can think of is having to send a picture of your ID but that's hella invasive
There's torrminator for once, it has a section for linux cracks specifically. There's also a large collection on the internet archive of native linux games that you'd have to find for yourself (to keep in line with the rules), but it shouldn't be too difficult.
This time is quite different, actually. First, he learned his lesson about hiring institutionalists as his secretaries and advisors since they would push back against more questionable ideas, now he's surrounding himself with yes-men like RFK jr, Kristi Noem and the likes. There have also been precedents set like the infamous "official act immunity", and just many more lessons learned from 2016 in general.
There's also just much more co-ordination now in general with the whole Project 2025.
