Chained Echoes is as close as you can get to retro-styled RPG perfection
I am rarely this enthusiastic about games, especially retro-styled games because so many miss the mark in numerous ways but thankfully Chained Echoes is just brilliant.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

That same semester, a grader for our Quantum Mechanics class told a different student (who submitted really long homework papers) "you aren't writing the Magna Carta."
That student turned in his next homework on a handmade "Magna Quanta" – a full length scroll with the complete text of the Magna Carta written on it and his homework solutions at the end.

#UK folks, there's a petition to keep protection of transgender people in the equality act by not amending it.

GOG are giving away Ghost of a Tale during their 2022 Winter Sale
Tis the season to buy more games to keep warm and all that. The GOG Winter Sale is live, and you can get a free copy of Ghost of a Tale.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
@governa It's not free software, it's a giveaway of a proprietary game. We will always use our affiliate links, as we do need to earn monies to keep doing what we do.
Even for a free giveaway, if you went to then buy something else, we would then still get a tiny kickback. It's important for us.
Choo Choo Charles is a total meme game and outside of the few encounters with the spider-train, it's bland and janky.

A simple guide to Steam Play, Valve's technology for playing Windows games on Linux
Looking to test the waters with Linux gaming and don't want to lose access to your favourite Windows games? Here's a simple no-nonsense guide to actually using Steam Play.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I still found this confusing:
"Can Steam Play be forced onto native Linux games?
Yes! Simply follow the same method above to force it."
I'd suggest something like "Yes! Choose a specific Proton version, and steam will use that, and thus the Windows version of the game"
The reverse section ("How do you force Steam to download a Native Linux game?") addresses my confusion pretty well, and so I'd suggest moving that same explanation of the model up.
Fair to say Milo was pleased with last night's London snow. It brought out his inner wolf.
The Last of Us Part I on Steam Deck gets support from Valve and Naughty Dog Co-President

Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard hits a bump as FTC seeks to block it

"Poor" M$ having to up prices to $70 might not be able to buy something for 69Billion and gain more of the most popular IP's. But they said they'll leave the window open to their walled garden for Sony. Pinky promise.
The only good that might come of the acquisition is "if" Bobby Kotick gets axed.

Stubborn omicron wave sticking around for Christmas
afr.com/policy/health-and-educ…
Melbourne University epidemiologist Professor Nancy Baxter said the rising number of infections was due to waning immunity, but underreporting was camouflaging the prevalence of sickness.
“We think probably at least one in 50 Australians to one in 25 Australians currently have COVID,” Professor Baxter said.
“That’s a lot of COVID in circulation. And it’s peaking in the next week or two. That means there are going to be a lot of cases at Christmas where people want to get together. There’s a lot of risk.”
COVID Australia: Stubborn omicron wave sticking around for Christmas
Hopes for the national omicron wave to fade ahead of Christmas have been dashed as cases and hospitalisations rise.Tom Burton (Australian Financial Review)

imo you should really make the local timeline of your instance visible
1. because it lets people preview it to see if they want to join
2. it lets admins tell if they need to block your instance, without this there can be no easy way to differentiate a single rouge account with an explicitly fascist instance

well, muted domains have doubled, guess transphobes really don't like if you tell them they should transition, even as a joke..
Content warning: trans
reading fiction: huh, this seems like an improbable amount of trans characters
running into a childhood friend, both of us having transitioned since we last saw each other, also her brother is trans: huh
Content warning: hot take: overriding display names
being able to override your friends display name on your phone is good for trans people actually.
that way you don't have to see your friends deaname in your contacts list every time if they aren't out yet.

the only thing i want to be able to edit about posts is the ability to change post visibility.
j'd really like to be able to say "that's enough boosts" and make a post followers only
