I'd like to think Firaxis and Sid Meier still hold water for Civilization at least, but I do get your point. Most of the games I go back to now and enjoy are nowhere near the ballpark of "AAA".

Dang. This is almost my list as well, and the ones that are different I can totally see why they could be on someone else's list. I like your taste in games.

• Outer Wilds
• The Return of the Obra Dinn
• I'll bunch the Mass Effect trilogy together here
• Super Metroid
• The Last of Us
• Bioshock: Infinite
• Zelda: Ocarina of Time
• Oxygen not Included
• Fallout: NV
• Diablo 2

I know it pales in comparison to most others here, but that Star Wars theory about Jar Jar Binks being the ultimate Sith mastermind instantly popped into my head.

Whatever's the current "big" issue in showbiz. I really couldn't care less that ABC was photographed with DEF in GHI, possibly hinting a relationship collapse with JKL, or whatever it was that people are harping about with other people's lives.

I get quite a bit of flak from my colleagues for paying for search, but I kid you not, I don't regret splurging on a Kagi subscription at all. It's personally less stressful for me, having to wade through less cruft, and I think I even work significantly faster because of how I use it.

It's sad when you think about it. Search was such a good experience in the past.

Steam streaming is pretty cool too, I use it very often.

Not the OP, but if youve got your own domain, you can register it with Proton so that you can create email addresses on it that route to your Proton inbox.

How it'll work is:

• Proton will ask you to verify you own the domain (by adding a few TXT records on it)
• then Proton will give you some MX records you can add to your domain so that mail routes to Proton using your domain.

• Protonmail
• Spotify
• Kagi search
• a handful of servers scattered in DigitalOcean, Hetzner, and AWS
• Sendgrid

Had an appointment for an NBN tech visit yesterday morning, cause the internet in the place we moved into was shot. Mate came in at 830 in the morning.

He quickly determined it wasn't our box that's the problem, but a faulty thingamajig on the street post, but he didn't have the right parts on him. He had to leave, but he promised he'd get it sorted within the day. We were prepared to wait it out until the Monday, but mate came back on at almost 7pm on a Friday, just to get it sorted like he said, and sorted it he did.

Just thought that was so nice of him, and I really appreciate it. Gave him a drink early on, but wish I gave him more of it, and hopefully he doesn't mind all his work went into a night's worth of very bad Dota.

I actually thought the organization stuff is pretty good, coming from keepassxc myself. The way we have it set up is that each of the members of our family all have VW accounts, and we have a common organization shared among us for stuff we all use (e.g. home devices). It's all in one installation, so it's pretty convenient. I don't think I can do the same as easily with keepass.

That being said, keepass is a really solid piece of software. I'd recommend it myself.

and/or Vaultwarden as a selfhosted alternative.

Yeah I just wish the lemmy ONI community was a bit more active. I should be above 2K hours in now too, and I haven't won yet. My current run I'm trying to get up to 20 dupes while also trying my first attempt at something magma power.

I'm admittedly not as knowledgeable about it as I'd like, but I also have a similar system. A primary encrypted Linux partition wuth a dualboot into Windows for times I absolutely need to go into it (which admittedly has been coming up less and less).

What I tell myself is that, sure, in the best case that everything works as I'd like, the rootkit can never bleed into the Linux side of stuff, and I'm really only ever at risk when I'm actively on the Windows, and even then if Riot remains a good citizen, nothing will happen. It's an (increasingly) small window of vulnerability.

Thing is, I've seen complete systems go down because of "small windows of vulnerabilities" before. Catastrophic failures, more times than I'd have liked. Who knows, maybe someday someone manages to exploit that window and use it to, for example, piggyback into your home network and access your devices. I dunno, call me paranoid.

In my head, installing something like a kernel anticheat is really not worth it. It's a huge over reach of privilege for so little gain for the user. And frankly, I don't trust Riot to be a good citizen with that much privilege on my machine.

I'm with you there. This league's been really great so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how others use the new gem variants.

Panic at the Cisco is up there for me.

I've been having difficulty joining private trackers as well, but mostly I've just been trying to apply to a few that I think I'd like to join. Don't quite understand why I don't get an invite though. I maintain a perma up seedbox, and wouldve thought that was mostly what's important for private trackers.

God of War: Ragnarok as well please

As someone who's having a bit of difficulty finding great incremental games, would you mind giving aome recommendations?
