To be fair, steam forums are a hot pile of garbage so the senator is correct in pointing that out at the very least

There's torrminator for once, it has a section for linux cracks specifically. There's also a large collection on the internet archive of native linux games that you'd have to find for yourself (to keep in line with the rules), but it shouldn't be too difficult.

This time is quite different, actually. First, he learned his lesson about hiring institutionalists as his secretaries and advisors since they would push back against more questionable ideas, now he's surrounding himself with yes-men like RFK jr, Kristi Noem and the likes. There have also been precedents set like the infamous "official act immunity", and just many more lessons learned from 2016 in general.

There's also just much more co-ordination now in general with the whole Project 2025.

I personally use bottles via flatpak and flatseal to make the games not connect to the internet when it's not needed just in case.

If you want native linux games, there are sites for that.

Corruption pretty much. The director of the school would constantly pocket a lot of the public funds sent to school and then offload the cost of whatever that money was supposed to go to onto students.

One of my favorite examples of this is this tradition where last year students before graduating are supposed to leave something to the school, and our class was asked to buy new tables, with other classes having to do something stupid like that as well.

I still see the school in the news from time to time being involved in some new corruption scandal lol

Don't think it will get unlisted, as the lawsuit only relates to spiritual successors of the game and not the original game itself.

Gemini spent a bit too much time on political subreddits

Nah, it's less fun than that. The capital is eating the left, again :(

Some context, albeit simplified: Disco Elysium as an IP and the company behind it (ZA/UM) practically got stolen by some rich investors from the original developers, and most of the original team left or got fired. There were plans for an official sequel of the game, but it got cancelled recently and since then, three games got announced back to back to back by three different studios and have promised to deliver a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium. The companies are:

  • Longdue. They have some of the people who developed the original game plus people from big companies like Bungie, Rockstar, but they're also in bed with ZA/UM and are the ones suing the other two companies.

  • Dark Math Games. While they do have the most 'game' currently as in their spiritual sequel titled 'XXX Nightshift' has some trailers and a Steam page, there's not that much known about them.

  • Summer Eternal. It's a workers co-op studio led by an original games' writer. They have a website which hosts their manifesto, and having read it it's definitely very Disco, would recommend.

Lemmy is my main but I still use Reddit sometimes for more niche subreddits.

It can also be reversed - there were some popular far-left YouTubers who were advocating for not voting or voting third party as a protest against Gaza genocide, yet things that mattered domestically like LGBT, women's rights weren't even considered or mentioned there. The cost of doing business, baby.

Damn these government bird-drone manufacturer DEI programs, really trying to pander to the woke LGBT cultural marxists...
