Nice. Minecraft used to be my go to answer for a first WASD game, too.

Lately, I recommend Mineclonia on Luanti, because it's free and has stronger optimizations supporting weak laptops and big multiplayer servers. (It's a popular Free Open Source Minecraft Clone).

This was really helpful. Thank you.

Where do you get books for the Kindle if not at Amazon?

• BAEN sells eBooks directly.
• Libby has various options to check out eBooks from local libraries.
• Project Gutenberg has free and DRM free eBooks for most books in the public domain. A huge number of classics are available this way.

When I look for a specific book, I usually find that simply searching for "BOOK NAME purchase DRM free” results in plenty of results.

Sadly, I find it dramatically easier to find a free DRM free copy of most eBooks than to find somewhere to legally purchase a paid licensed DRM-free copy.

As a flawless upstanding citizen, I never partake of such amazing convenience, myself, of course.

I remember those days, as well!

Just so you know, this isn't Reddit. You've just been blocked by everyone reading along here.

If you start to feel like no one replies here, it's actually you, in this case. It could help to try again with a new account.

Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn't mean they're a friend.

True. But I've had some great friendships grow after years of just "hi" in passing. We weren't friends yet, but we were destined to become friends.

I'm with you.

Thankfully, corporate bullahit isn't the only way to create a discovery algorithm.

I expect that we will have a diverse set of discovery algorithms available to opt into here, in a few years.

Thank you! You're doing Lliira's work!

Ooh, neat.

I always wonder about the people who drop off just before finishing the game.

That's me. It used to be common for games to have a sharp ramp up in challenge at the end boss, and I often don't have the time to get through that.

So I habitatually abandon games when I feel close to the end, and I watch the ending on a stream, instead of playing it.

I realize that minimal research could tell me which games are which, but even less research finds me a decent stream of the game ending.

Nothing anotger fireball won't solve...

the low rollers having been filtered out by dart traps, lucky kobolds, etc.

True. That's mage survivor bias, right there.

A manufacturer phone pre-installed with LineageOS would be awesome.

I'm partial to RetroPi or Batocera, so I end up with a retro game console and media player in one. This build works with anything compatible with Kodi. Excellent for home media, but paid and free streaming services are hit and miss.

There's also builds of Android Open Source Protect for Raspberry Pi, which have much better support for streaming apps, since anything that works on an Android Phone works, as long as the streaming service developer hasn't done anything stupid.

Edit: A warning though - Android on Raspberry Pi is still very new. Think Alpha/Beta test. I think that Android on ARM chips, in general, is new. It'll get good, but your mileage may vary, for now.

Thanks!

There's various builds for Raspberry Pi that make decent media centers.

Jeff Bezos never smashed the window on my car to steal my speakers,

True.

he doesnt come out vandalising public transport or parks and he isnt the reason my wife doesnt feel safe walking around at night.

If we could even comprehend the scale of his unpaid taxes, or their impact on our parks, we might discuss this at length...

Is also very very queer tho JSYK

That could be our new Lemmy slogan.

There's a couple of them, I think.

I found this one:

The surprisingly deep copy of Balatro in "Dave the Diver" is pretty good.
