Too bad there wasn't an open source alternative that he could provide lots of funding for... Oh wait there is.

Hmm I used to be proud of being Canadian. These days it's getting harder and harder.

Hopefully they're Family to help with the victim queues, my friends pretty much stopped playing victim because it takes so long to find a match.

Whew, I heard from a friend it was going that way. The Devs say in the article that they just meant it would recieve occasional content updates like they did with with the first game in their early access model.

They confirmed that it will not have any subscriptions, or battle passes or anything which is great. They also mention that while coop will be possible, it won't be required to play the game, and you can still experience everything single player.

Glad to hear they haven't joined the dark side yet!

In terms of multiplayer games with friends, we've been playing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Family, not a fan of victim). Also booted back up Golf with Friends for the first time in a few years and we've been having a blast.

For single player I recently started Astroneer which I've been loving! Really digging the terraforming and resource gather dynamics of the game.

As someone on the edge of making the change myself, I have been enjoying these posts because I have been getting to learn some of the different distros and there pros and cons. Lemmy isn't insanely active right now, so you get a different group of perspectives with each iteration of the question.

Maybe once lemmy gets bigger we can break off these sorts of questions into their own catalog but for now I think they are doing more good than harm here.

Just my two cents tho, obviously you have the right to disagree :)

I can't wait until we can either get these guys back, or eventually have a manned mission where they can be recovered and stored.They represent such a large achievement for humanity as a whole and symbolizes our desire to advance and learn.

I thought Stardew Valley was a one man show, but this isn't by ConcernedApe, did he end up hiring staff?

That was quite the read but pretty worth it. He talks about a lot of the mistakes he made not just in relation to his crime, but as a developer, project leader, and general human being.

He discusses what things he would have done differently, and how he thinks that could have changed things not only for him but his software as well.

He mentions multiple times how much he wishes that the conflict handling and social classes he has access to in prison, were available to him in school. He ends the letter with a call to action, for just that asking people to try and affect legislation to get more youth access to this information to avoid cases such as his.
