Baldur's Gate 3 hits over half a million Steam user reviews - ranked 19th most popular
Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian Studios has managed to hit a mark not many games do, as it's crossed over the half a million mark on Steam for user reviews with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating overall.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
What's that? A game without a season pass and $1000 of DLC AND it released on GOG without any DRM AND it's doing good? That should be impossible according to the "gaming industry" at large!
I love how much of a middle finger to the corporate mouthpieces this game is.

A little-advertised bridge just appeared between the Fediverse and Twitter founder Dorsey's new social network. It intends to bridge accounts that don't opt out.
Doing this as opt out is a pretty immoral thing to do. Also unclear how legal opt-out bridges are in some countries. The bridge is using these domains:
snarfed.org
brid.gy
Server admins may want to defederate these to prevent their members being bridged without their knowledge or permission.

One thing that you should learn about homegrown and feditips is that misrepresentation of information is something that they have done a lot and continue to do. Honestly in my opinion it's extremely unprofessional, maybe not the greatest idea to follow their advice.
