This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.

I jumped back into #HaloInfinite after months of not playing. I've not forgotten the mechanics, many new levels so it feels alien and I remembered exactly why I don't play it often anymore... long waits ✋️ #gaming
But still, it was fun. I think Halo Infinite and #Exoprimal are going to be the games I jump into once a month or so just for variety.
@davidnjoku I don’t like it either. If he or anyone else is proven guilty then they should pay for their crimes, but I’m uncomfortable with governments being able to pressure social media platforms to demonetise specific people.
This is coming from someone who found the documentary very compelling. I’m inclined to believe it, however, I’m not judge, jury, and executioner and neither is the government.

There should be a reverse Indiana Jones film where a South American tribe sneaks into the Vatican, steals some relics, and gets away on a boat while a bunch of men in golden robes shake their fists and shout their strange language.
Exoprimal's second season adds new map, final mission, Chun-Li exosuit skin.
Chun-Li skin? Time to visit #Exoprimal again. #gaming

It's nice that #Unity3D walked back to terms that don't apply unless you use their latest engine, but that's the take-away: you need to not use their latest anymore. Finish your game. Find another engine. This is just an escape clause.
Anyone who sticks with them will get screwed the next time their c-suite wants to goose their stock price.

If you’re looking for #OpenSource app recommendations, you probably generally land in the usual « LibreOffice / GIMP » space.
But what about other apps, like Obsidian, Notion, VS Code, Teams or Slack?
Well, I have a few recommendations for these as well, if you want to go all open source (and they all run on #Linux, of course):

@ouij Thankfully my workplace is OK with either Android or iOS. I have an Intel Chromebook as my personal laptop and I like it a lot. It runs dosbox just fine :) The Linux container is super useful! So much so that I think I'll continue to use Chromebooks for laptops and Linux for desktops when it comes to my own devices.
I've ended up enjoying using Android a lot after a few years with iOS. I think I'm returning to Android as my main phone OS. Let's enjoy some better hardware 😀
@lowqualityfacts very good tips! Number two is very important. #freethewhales
@wiredfire I'm actually OK with ads as long as:
* They are not too long.
* I can pay extra on a per-movie basis to remove them. I frankly don't care about ads on TV series.
* I am in control of what ads to ban from ever appearing again.
@wiredfire the Freevie section of Amazon Video already has ads. And yeah, all of a sudden privacy is more tempting.
@ouij @gamingonlinux To me, it is just a console :) No different to a Switch or Xbox.
ChimeraOS or any other SteamOS-like distro though on a desktop, it's a nice second OS. One OS for work and daily tasks, and another for gaming.
@ouij @gamingonlinux Totally.
An Arch-based Linux distro with an immutable file system wouldn't be my first choice as a daily driver desktop OS. But yeah, it will get users exploring and considering switching to Linux :)
@gamingonlinux the fact that Windows is no longer needed for a huge chunk of the Steam library is HUGE!

Steam Deck a 'stable target for a couple years' so no Steam Deck 2 for a while https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/09/steam-deck-a-stable-target-for-a-couple-years-so-no-steam-deck-2-for-a-while/
A comment and question for #carmastodon and #weirdCarMastodon
#GazooRacing has replaced #TRD everywhere other than in North America, right?
I don't see TRD being marketed in Asia or Europe at all. Yet in North America there are still TRD trucks being released.
My guess is that TRD and GR both exist as performance divisions. But TRD does stuff for truck-loving Americans and bigger and more well-known GR takes care of the rest of the planet?
