Why would you not want to give GamingOnLinux clicks?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

Cause then I'd have fewer clicks!

Laziness.

iirc the owner was a mod of a Linux sub and banned people for saying mods were corrupt. Aka what has happened at least once on 50% of reddit subs.

Cloudflare, for one thing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can you explain?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I make it a rule for myself to not pass credentials (maintain an account) on any service which is MITM'd by cloudflare. I've lost several accounts to sites moving behind cloudflare in this way.

Additionally, I have an extreme allergy to web tracking and cloudflare is positioned uniquely to be a point of central data aggregation, particularly about browsing habits and adtech shadow profile building.

Even some fedi instances have infested themselves with cloudflare.

I've never heard of any of these. Are any worth picking up?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I didn't recognize most of these, but I've played a ton of Kingsway. It's a very fun RPG where the Game itself is an Operating system and all the actions you'd normally take in casual desktop usage translate to game mechanics. I've had a lot of fun with it and it's a real shame to see it on this list.

Westerado is decent and pretty unique.

headlander is a great 10h metroidvania with a 60s camp sci-fi style. very much recommended.
