I would switch to Linux in a heartbeat if it ran all the programs I use. And yes, I know about wine, but it’s still not all there yet. Thankfully there are more and more programs I use that now run natively in Linux, so I still have hope.

Booboofinger@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Epic Games just won its antitrust lawsuit against Google againEnglish2722·4 days agoI pretty much like Epic. I’ve gotten tons of free quality games for free that don’t have micropayment or tons of ads. Sure they might not be the newest version of the game, but there is something to be said about playing a game free from ads and not feeling like a second class citizen for not spending more on a “free” game than most people spend on rent and groceries combined.

Booboofinger@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•don't trust cloud services with creative workEnglish1·6 days agoYou are not too old. I feel the exact same way. Anything worth keeping should be saved locally. Plus storage today is so cheap, there really is no excuse to save exclusively on the cloud.

We have to be just as vocal as these idiots or they take over. They are not the majority, they are only the most vocal.

Hoist the Jolly Roger!
Booboofinger@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .English13·11 days agoStuff like this is the strongest argument for a decentralized payment option. Hopefully some day crypto will not be so much a tool of monetary speculation and we can use it for that without having to have the same experience as the guy who bought a pizza with Bitcoin.
Booboofinger@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processorsEnglish5·11 days agoWhat kills me is in most cases you have to pay for the game, then you have to download the game, then install it and finally play it. It’s not.like the game is going to one day pop into your computer and then force you to play it.
Bottom line. If the game bothers ornoffends you just move on.

Booboofinger@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•What are the best free mmorpgs for a beginner?English2·12 days agoI used to love Mabinogi. It’s a bit different then most MMORPGs but it had some real cool features. My favorite is any character could learn any skill in the game. It also has a coherent story with some surprising plot twists. On to of that, you character ages and will even get fat if they eat too much. Haven’t played it in years, as well as any MMORPG for that matter, but this is one of the ones I have the fondest memories of.
Booboofinger@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Well, today I had a fit of nostalgia for the old Internet without algorithms and moderation and I want to ask you, do you remember this?2·12 days agoNow you got me nostalgic for pre-internet days of BBSs and local chat boards. I used to belong to one where we would meet once a month in a Cafe. It was almost like a secret society where you knew everyone.

Booboofinger@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Florida police under fire as video of Black man punched, dragged by deputies during traffic stop goes viral3·12 days agoMaybe he was not totally innocent, maybe the may even had a valid reason for breaking his window, since he said it would not roll down. However punching him in the face, dragging him out and the violence that followed was completely unjustified and unnecessary.
Cops should be accountable for what they do. They ore meant to enforce the law and are not above it
