Steam has some competition, its just that said competition never took off because Steam is so much better.

Most are scams, but there are reputable ones, like Humble Bundle and Fanatical.

I have blocked exactly 10 magazines, all non-English.

I've said this a bunch of times, but Mastodon's use of a chronological feed is what kills it. What it really needs is for the default tab to be a "trending" tab, cause that's what users want to see.

Meta are performing what is called an EEE attack (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish). Basically, it involves a larger corporation creating a thing that hooks into an open standard, artificially inflating it, slowly adding new, proprietary closed-source features that other members of the open standard cannot use, and eventually removing support for the open standard entirely, forcing other users to enter their walled garden because that's where all the people are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

Omori is a great RPG with forgettable gameplay but an unforgettable story.

Ultrakill is an excellent shooter with fast pacing, unique mechanics, and difficulty that is hard but rarely unfair.

Satisfactory is a factory building simulator which is pretty similar to Factorio, but a bit more chill and in 3D.

Assuming it keeps the hybrid handheld/console model and is backwards compatible with Switch games, then calling it something along the lines of a "switch 2" or "super switch" makes sense.

Intimidate, explosion, and bite. Intimidate drops the opponent's defense, explosion weakens them significantly, and bite can finish them off.

If GOG had native Linux support I'd be more interested, but their refusal to support it (despite it being their most requested feature, I may add) means I exclusively use Steam for buying my games.

Turn it off, REMOVE THE BATTERY (important step, batteries are dangerous and do not like liquids), then disassemble it. Remove the keycaps and rubber membrane and wash them with soapy water, and wipe down the gold contacts with isopropyl alchahol. Wait for it to dry completely before reassembling it.

Sea of Stars was the only one I tried, and what they had looked really good.

I'm not usually a fan of triple a games, but I bought Doom Eternal yesterday and its been really good so far.
