Meanwhile in indie land, I just tried to cheat my way through a Chapter 3 minigame in Deltarune, and Toby Fox himself showed up in his dogsona to blow up the game and make me start the minigame over.

This is the extent to which anti-cheat measures should go.

If it’s cool with everyone here, I’m just going to spend the next eight hours getting extremely mad with people on the Internet over my refusal to watch a 40 minute video essay on YouTube, or read literally anything.

Watch out for those radicals over on the Hexbear instance. They’ll getcha!

Ok but where do I vote?

High level summary: A bunch of nerds got into a slapfight about who’s project is less secure, or who’s project is run by the feds. Some guys got doxxed or swatted, a few stepped away from their projects and left social media, and that’s about where we are today. It’s largely a bunch of clout-chasing nonsense.

No, sorry. He got his livussy ate by a birb.

I’ve been binging Hades 2 this week, so: Dionysus. Have you seen that package?!

I cannot disagree.

Turning my brain off to global affairs once or twice a week is essential to my sanity.

This means I have won this debate. Checkmate, Valve.

It means ipso facto, habeas corpus, magico, arbitration, parliamentarian moo deng, lorem ipsum.

Huh! I had no idea. Thank you!

Could you elaborate on that? I’m not up to date on FOSS / open source licensing.

Don’t bring Zizek into this, let the flaming buck skeleton talk.

No ads or subscriptions, no endless DLC.

Unfortunately, if you’re looking for a free download, the game you’re describing doesn’t exist.

The closest I can think of is Postknight 2. There’s unobtrusive (optional) ads, and the full game is playable—start to finish—without spending any money.

It’s very cute, and you can get pets… but it’ll take some dedicated playtime to unlock them for free.
