I'm sorry to say it, but I think you'll find the world is upset with Americans as a whole. You really shit the proverbial bed on this one. A few people that know you personally probably isn't a good indication of the welcome you're going to receive en mass, especially in countries that are being explicitly targeted, like Canada. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying maybe temper your expectations.

Gotta remember that line from MIB: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals"

OK, you're gonna need some things:

A heat gun, A wire brush, Bandaids, A stiff drink

Speaking purely for myself: native clients are ALWAYS preferred and appreciated... however as an indie, I would totally understand not wanting to commit to building one.

As a middle ground you could just accept bug reports from Linux users and do what you can to fix those issues. Aim for a platinum rating on Proton DB

eta: Also, yes, as others have pointed out, this assumes the native client is maintained

Huh, that's not what I get:

Enjoy it! We're going the opposite way now. One of the major downsides of living in the southern hemisphere is people forgot why the holiday season landed in the middle of winter. It was to give people something to look forward to and help them through the dark months... There is NOTHING like that during the winter here. It can be pretty bleak!

It's looking like it's going to be a good year for gaming.

Games I'm looking forward to:

Subnautica 2 The Outer Worlds 2 Death Stranding 2 (possibly. I'll wait for reviews) GTA 6 (Assuming there is an offline, kernal DRM free mode) Solarpunk Paralives

New Game+: speedrun it

Do you consider longjohns underwear? I always wear underwear under longjohns

"internet parents" is wholly unsearchable without some kind of proximity syntax.

If anybody is looking for a side project, build something that allows you to use advanced search syntax to search the fediverse. Please?

No, you've gone too far in the other direction now. The protests can work. Your other comments show that you seem to think it has to be all or nothing, but Just because it's not bankrupting Bezos in one fell swoop, doesn't mean it's pointless. If we even make a dent in their metrics, they'll notice.

My issue here is that everyone seems to be misinterpreting me as whining about not wanting to participate because I'm gonna miss my show. When what I actually said, in effect, was "Damn, I'm gonna miss my show. Oh well."

The fuck is wrong with the threadiverse today, gods damn!

No, you come on. You're are misrepresenting what I actually said. If you actually read my post, you'll see that I plan to participate in the boycott regardless. I made a throwaway comment about how it would be "mildly inconvenient" that I'd miss the opening, but also that I would do it regardless.

So what, I'm not even allowed to acknowledge that Prime has stuff I'm interested in? I have to boycott it, and deny that it holds any value whatsoever?

That's bullshit. It's entirely possible to both acknowledge that there are decent Amazon produced shows AND think that the company is evil as fuck and want to boycott them.

Oh please, that's not even close to what I said. I just don't want them to cancel a show I like and you're all acting like I'm swinging from Bezos' dick. You're all rabid.

The thing is, I really don't want them to cancel it. I've been signing up for it and then cancelling my subscription when it's finished, and then pirating it anyway. I just want them to see it as valuable, so they don't try to squeeze 14 books worth of content into one shitty finale because it's not making them money.

Lol, this is the first one that I'm mildly inconvenienced by participating in. Wheel of Time S3 comes out somewhere in there doesn't it?

I can wait.

I dunno. Whoever is in charge of Westwood IP these days isn't completely fucking it up. The remaster team was in contact with the community through development and by and large listened to the feedback. The remaster was good as a result. Releasing the source means the possibility of a modern enhancements ala OpenRA.

Of course none of this redeems them for RA3 or C&C 4
