BattleBlock Theater is a good action platformer that has coop.

Escape Room Simulator is a good 3d puzzle game that can be played coop as well.

I think their are two bridge crew members where it could have been interesting if either was gay.

The first is Tovok. Having a Vulcan show its illogical to deny attraction to the same sex would be fun. The downside here is how reserved the character is, so it likely wouldn't come up all that often in the show.

The second is Harry Kim. It would have been fun for him to be interested in Tom but Tom has no interest in him that way. We'd get a few episodes, may even a season of Harry pining for him before giving up and ending up best friends. Then we get Tom trying to set Harry up with people.

I don't even think either of these would have changed things much overall.

Out of curiosity why do you not want snaps? I consider myself a beginner with Linux and would love to know what makes you not want to use them.

I wish this was limited to just windows phones. My travel device, a windows laptop with a removalbe keyboard, will no longer be able to download shows. Which means no more Netflix on airplanes for me.

Do you want skynet? Because this is how we get skynet.

I would imagine the recent xz backdoor discovery spooked them a bit. So now they are going to check things.

We shall see if it continues or not.

For the general consumer Microsoft is making it as hidden as possible to make a local user during installation.

When I had to reinstall windows a month or two ago the option to make a local machine user was not there until I unplugged the ethernet or brought up a terminal to force the installer to show the option.

I've been playing a lot of Backpack Hero. It's a nice relaxing rogue lite.

It will depend on how the game is packaged. On your two examples that let you play before finishing download the clients will have multiple downloads that will prioritize everything needed to play early content. This will allow you to play for a bit and by the time you are far enough into the game the rest should have downloaded.

I am not entirely sure how steam manages downloads but I suspect it compresses the whole game as a single download and decompresses and installs it once the download is done. This would mean that nothing is playable until the entire game has been downloaded. It's something they could potentially change with their download process but not many developers would take advantage of it so it's likely a low priority thing.

Great! Now how about the rest of the world.

The instance up and disappeared right after it's admin said they were going g to defederate with another instance. There was no warning it was just gone the next day.

There is lots of speculation around it, but I think the admin got scared of the implication that their servers still held content from the other instance that was illegal in their country.
