I thought the small indie devs were mostly on itch?

I’ll be that guy and say that I do prefer buying from GOG, going as far as paying more money in doing so, so the issue isn’t really ‘friction’ but ‘mfs don’t bother offering on GOG’.

My hate for drm has only grown over the last two decades, and so I’ll get stuff wherever I can that isn’t plastered with it. But it’s not even a rounding error in comparing the number of games available of steam vs GOG. You’d have to go so far out with zeros that you fall off the page before encountering a positive value (0.00000[…]00001%). Which is upsetting and frustrating, since the other option is steam or piracy. And I do like rewarding developers for their work, so that leaves one option basically all the time.

I have a owncast container setup, I’ve used it a few times. It combines a customizable webpage with the stream, kinda-sorta like a twitch page. Hook obs to it and you’re off. Took me a couple hours to get everything set.

My only complaint is that the stream will fall behind - not sure if obs or oc is to blame. Perhaps my nas being underpowered, though I was testing/watching with ‘source’ so it shouldn’t be transcoding. After an hour or two I can, watching my own stream, see it’s fallen back by like a minute. If I remember right it continues linearly, so more time = more discrepancy.

It’s nice though, so I haven’t bothered to try other solutions. I should re-test and see if it’s been fixed…

Carefully observe how the above argument lacks any supporting argument or information.

Curious.

“take off your clothes then”

and if they proceed to do that

“now let’s go shopping”

Mmmm, interesting, can you list off that data along with your mother’s maiden name? It’s uh for a friend…

You vastly overestimate boomers-era individuals (and really the entire general population). Beyond turning things on and ‘everything magically works’, most know fuck all about tech.

I know that if I croak tomorrow, while my ex partners and a couple friends would be able to piece together things, 1) they’d have to be informed that I’m dead, 2) they’d have to be asked to help with my different hosts, and 3) they’d need to remember where I physically put the password in case of emergency to access the main host (with all of the family’s important shit, like all of it). Assuming they got those three things done, they would have to convey to the ex/friend how to access the main node, and then figure out my password manager master password, and the mfa (multiple options), or assume it’s inaccessible and use the physical password to retrieve the data and restore… on an OS none of them has ever used before.

Assuming all that is doable, after the restore is to maintain the system and the containers, perpetually, as well as continue paying for the domains so they can access the services hosted on the nodes, and continue paying for my vps and the backup storage strategy (two different companies on two different continents alongside the local copy).

As I have literally almost died before (I was supposed to have died, according to doctors who saved me), I have tried to make this hypothetical situation easy, and still it would astonish me if they get past like step #2.

As an introvert, I hate physical games. Unless I know everyone participating, and I don’t, nope nope nope nope. And if I do know everyone, then why are we playing board games and not halo or something?

Also, ime streamers prefer VRC or coop games where everyone streams simultaneously for different perspectives, and the environment or game they are participating in is extremely easy to understand and follow.

That’s why the icon is spinning 😎

NO SOUP GROCERIES FOR YOU

Might I suggest American Truck Simulator / Euro Truck Simulator 2. It doesn’t cover snow and ice but does do rain that causes loss of traction and maneuverability at speed, as well as delivery deadlines, drowsiness, traffic citations, road closures and events, basic damage and wear, managing air brakes and fuel, and of course handling the trucks and their different types of trailers (and the cargo of various shapes, sizes) in a ton of situations.

I’ve put a few hundred hours into the two and if you can play with a friend it becomes a rather relaxed game for just talking and chilling out, but with a goal in mind. Can get chaotic sometimes, making mistakes like missing an exit or running short on time.

And for ATS they are releasing two ‘road trip’ dlc soon, with 4 vehicles each from Dodge/RAM and Ford, so you can make money with your rig and then race your friends cannonball-style down route 66, or from Washington to Louisiana (current furthest southeast state available for dlc), Montana to Texas, or wherever else.

All the imagined stress, all the silly shenanigans, none of the dread of wiping out an entire family in a minivan as you smash into it.

(I quite like these games, if you can’t tell)

E: actually, it does do snow - there’s a yearly holiday event that takes you to the ‘north pole’ for delivering gift boxes and whatnot. But no snow on the traditional map.

Chef: “alright, we got another wise guy, who here has a turd brewing in the tube? here you go, you know what to do. put a birthday sparkler in it when it’s ready, tell em that part is complements of the kitchen.”

While it’s rarely by default (I actually don’t know any that do by default but), it is usually a simple checkbox during the installation. And a provided password, of course.

It’s the alternative to the other thing, duh!

Sounds like a skill issue
