Honestly not missing much lol. There's like 1000 hours of good TV content in total out there IMHO.

This problem can be solved by good lawmakers, good public servants, and a good amount of public will.

If I had to take a crack at it, it sounds like this would be solved with taxing corporations as landlords in a similarly punitive way. I'm fine with one corporation owning one apartment complex as a service for transient people, but I'm not okay with a corporation owning multiple properties and making their bag entirely via enshittifying people's housing and jacking up rent.

If we're worried about a person having ownership in multiple companies that each own one apartment, we can solve that too. Again, I'd focus on tracing back ownership of these assets and taxing those individuals accordingly. If a person owns 10% of 20 companies that own an apartment building each, they should be taxed like they own 2 apartment buildings. Abstraction and obfuscation should not be a successful defense against supporting the society one is a part of. We all have to do our part, and we will be better off if we did both as individuals and as a collective.

I was going off of protondb. I can't vouch for each game on the list's exact state on any given day, only that according to everyone who ranks on the website it's native or gold.

Apex Legends worked on Linux every year except this one. League I'm told dropped support only recently (in the last couple of years). Like, idk man, there's ups and downs to this data, but the point is not all competitive multiplayer games don't work on Linux and seemingly the majority do based on steam and protondb data.

This keeps getting repeated as a blanket statement and it irks me a bit. More than half of the top ten most played games on steam on any given day work. There's a small handful of games that don't work that fit into the competitive multiplayer genre and an even smaller handful that are actually popular.

To be clear, I'm not irk'ed with you, just that this myth that gets passed around a lot hasn't caught up to reality.

Top games by player count by daily players (numbers are peak in 24 hrs)(skipping anything that doesn't qualify as competitive multiplayer):

1. CS 2 - ✅ - 1.4 mil
2. BF 6 - ❌ - 413k
3. Dota 2 - ✅ - 761k
4. Pubg - ❌ - 620k
5. Arc Raiders - ✅ - 322k
6. Apex Legends - ❌ - 155k
7. War Thunder - ✅ - 78k
8. Delta force - ❌ ✅ (work around exists) - 182k
9. Marvel rivals - ✅ - 83k
10. Dead by Daylight - ✅ - 66k
11. Naraka: Bladepoint - ✅ - 120k
12. Rust - ❌ (some servers do work though) - 130k

✅ Top 20 total - 2.83 mil ❌ Top 20 total - 1.5 mil (including Delta force)

Idk. Having just crunched the numbers I guess it's fair to warn people about some borked Anti-Cheat games but I wish people would caveat by saying the majority of games people play even in the competitive multiplayer scene work. And it's only going to get better i'd argue, although games like bf6 being a recent launch that didn't work is a bummer. As the percentage of Linux users climb they'll be increasingly incentivized to find a solution.

League isn't on here, that would skew the numbers pro-windows.

Dota 2 took 2k+ hours from my life. Loved every minute lol. Welcome aboard, it's not healthier but I'd argue it's better :D

Every country should heavily tax non-resident property owners. They should also increasingly tax every property someone owns over 1, to the point that owning more than 3 homes becomes completely unrealistic for most and middle class landlords disappear.

Everyone should own their own residence (or have the opportunity to). Housing prices would collapse if they weren't being used as a financial vehicle for investments instead of housing that degrades without upkeep.

1. Taxing the ultra-wealthy out of existence
2. Taxing landlords out of existence

I believe those are every societies largest priorities.

Fuck any developer who busts unions and doesn't compensate their employees justly.

See that's interesting because it's more cozy for me when I shoot on sight and more tense for me when I socialize. I've lost loot when I've tried talking it out and maybe that stings more because assuming I lose some of those engagements I must have saved more loot than lost when talking.

Idk, it's the social pressure like in a fictional apocalypse of like "will these humans be friendy or not", they're unpredictable. Also I think the map has an effect on friendliness as well. Like Dam had a lot of friendly people but blue gate was like 50/50 at best.

It's just so cool that the game can change so much from playing solo vs squads.

Arc Raiders is a fuckin blast. Having just as much fun with my group on this as we did in like helldivers and hunt showdown, but Arc Raiders has real depth that I think will keep us coming back. This game feels special and I hope it's can go the distance for my group and I because it's one of the best group games we've played in a while.

Solo is fun too, it's just a completely different game. It's more tense, more stealthy, and you're 100x more likely to find friendly players which is really cool.

I've played it twice now (tech test 2 and server slam) and I'm absolutely pumped for launch day. This game is fantastic and I think it's exactly what the genre needed, a great entry innovating in the space instead of trying to copy Tarkov (like most of them) or veering a bit too far away from the bits that make extraction games unique (like hunt showdown, which to be clear is a fantastic game).

I haven't seen a single review that was mediocre. I know the algo can really silo people, but everyone who's touched this game seems to give it glowing reviews minus some early third person perspective gripes.

Having had hands on time with the game, I wouldn't sleep on it if you like fps games or PvE extraction games. My flatmate who hasn't really played a single pvp game has really had a blast with this one too, starting out "not getting it" and then by the end of a two hour session saying they were going to buy on launch day. I think this game will convert people who give it a chance.

Ya, we've played it since launch without issue. Don't know it's rating on protondb but I'd assume it's gold or higher.

As someone who currently sleeps, works, and relaxes in the same room these absolutes you're throwing out come off as hilarious. I've literally always lived in a room with both my bed and my computer, always worked and gamed from my computer, always slept within a couple of meters of my desk chair and computer.

You absolutely can work, relax, and sleep in the same space.

Does that mean I prefer that? Could I gain some meaningful benefits from having more spaces to dedicate to certain tasks? Absolutely. And the moment we tax the ultra-wealthy out of existence and therefore make housing affordable again, I'll make those rooms.

But working from home is not reliant on a square ft/m metric that the home must pass, nor how those spaces are organized or themed. I think saying it does only hurts my ability to stay at home, which is better for the environment, the economy, my productivity, and most importantly my life and mental health.
