To be fair it's also a capacity thing. If an elevator goes more slowly it can carry more weight. People moving in/out of apartments might need to carry furniture, while usually office elevators just have to carry people.
Usually major desktop environment updates are saved for new major OS updates. So you'd probably have to wait until the next major Ubuntu release. If you're on LTS, that may be years. If you're on the latest release, it will probably be less than a year.
Dukat usually appears like he's trying to be a good person, despite all the terrible things that happened under his watch. But this episode breaks that down until he finally stops lying to himself.
Antichamber is great. Feels like a completely different universe with its own set of rules you need to discover. Also really interesting to see a puzzle game with an almost metroidvania-like progression, with the gates being your own knowledge of the mechanics.
Distance - an arcade racer that plays like a good 3D sonic game, has a cryptic story, and has elements of horror. Completely bonkers combination but it works super well.
Thumper - another very fast paced game, but also a rhythm game. The devs label it as "rhythm violence" and it fits. The music is percussive and ambient, mostly consisting of the sounds of you slamming through turns and hitting the a button with ferocious intensity. Levels can take well over 30 minutes.
The Beginner's Guide - might be more well known but imo this is a must play for anyone who does anything creative. It's a two hour walking sim, but I feel like it's a story best told as a game.
I use it for spitfire labs, ott, and delay lama (very important) and all work great. There are occasional crashes when messing with parameters, but usually those don't happen more then once. I haven't noticed any performance issues.
Vital is a vst similar to Serum, a pretty popular paid vst. It has a bunch of preset sounds but offers a lot of options for effects and automation to design your own sounds. I use it a ton personally and get a lot of range from it.
You mean just the UI popping up or steam itself? Because it's up to individual games if they implement any steam drm, and if so how much.
