Steam used to allow you to convert certain physical games to digital if you put the CD key into Steam’s “Add a Non-Steam Game” menu.

It wasn’t all games but quite a few, so if you’re sitting on a big physical library this is a legitimate option.

I have civ 3 running on my tablet through an emulator, could possibly even do civ 4 but haven’t tried that yet. It takes up next to no space, the graphics are light enough you could run it on a potato and it’s one of the best civ iterations I reckon.

Have you tried turning off chromatic abberation, motion blur, film grain and all that other extraneous fluff?

I have a 3060 and Control is one of my favourite games so I’ve put a lot of time into it with DLSS on but haven’t noticed what you’re describing.

I tend to fiddle with my settings until it looks and handles well but the aforementioned settings are always turned off first thing.

Ancient Minoan would be the place, chilling on the sunny island of Crete in the reasonably calm Mediterranean sea with abundances of food and water as well as trade goods from all over the Mediterranean. And they weren’t crazed militarists like most of the other Greek tribes, so don’t have to worry too much about war either.

Same with Te Reo in NZ, it’s kind of standardized now but when I was a kid living in the BoP I learnt a lot of Maori but when we moved to the south island the dialect was quite different so I lost a lot through atrophy.

I’d recommend Long Dark and Subnautica, they’ve both got crafting but it’s part of the survival/exploration loop and they’ve both got a bunch of mods (on PC) that are really well done.

Jerboa also matches the font size of everything else in my UI better

This has been my biggest annoyance in all the apps I’ve tried so far, I’m using thunder at the moment and it’s extra large font is juuust big enough, but still way too small to be called extra large.

Quite a few of the others don’t even have that though, liftoff was terrible for it with no option to change it and Jerboa is easily the best in this regard but with it scaled up to match my UI it’s a too much scrolling and weird formatting.

Can’t wait for Boost, it was my reddit go to for years simply because of all it’s toggles, I could customize pretty much every part of the UI. Which is probably why it’s taking a while to come out, there was quite a bit more to it than pretty much any other of the alternatives.

You, sir, are worse than Hitler.

Don’t forget the big labour union wins for UPS and the Teamsters, no war but the class war baby.

Not to mention that people that pirate that material are still going to talk about it, so even though they’re loosing one sale to piracy they may be getting an extra 10 sales through word of mouth.
