I don't have Windows 10 on my personal laptop, it's all Linux Debian. Surprisingly on my work laptop, Windows 11 is usable and hasn't been as annoying.

The bigger trouble would be decoupling from OneDrive and Office Online. Yeah. I also want to decouple from Google Docs.

This reminds me, the Mojo Launcher is available on Google Play. You can download the app for free, create a local account, download whatever version you need, and you're already in-game.

I only created a local account because I was too lazy to log into my MS account ~~(can Mojang die for this migration sin?)~~ before I realized I just downloaded Minecraft Java Edition for free with an app from the Play Store.

You didn't hear anything from me.

I'm going to assume Barbie's Horse Adventure is the better game and without DMCAstar's pretentiousness too. Maybe.

A few of these remind me of their usage in customer support, and boy I hate them already before getting into the actual transmeme.

I have two friends who helped me switch from Win10 to Debian. A lot of things were rocky, and I'm not going to sugarcoat that. Linux is still a niche system with a high barrier of entry. That said, now I got it to a point where I'm happy with what I got. I could always do more stuff if I wanted too, but I am content with what I have.

My programs and games for Windows run with Wine Staging and I don't need any launchers to manage them. I'm even more comfortable messing with the terminal.

Basically Linux is like a Bethesda game. You need to download mods and mess with them a bit to be happy with your system.

I would go one several of these sites and just do the captchas every few minutes to earn a bunch of satoshi that ended up in a few cents. Then I'd spend that money for the lowest Humble Bundle tiers at less than $1 to get loads of DRM-free games.

Then Humble stopped accepting bitcoins as payment.

True. They're nice in some ways, but not all the ways.

I once saw someone somewhere comment that HL2 is actually a tech demo meant to show off the physics stuff. Which I wholeheartedly agree with, and even that didn't win me over. The game doesn't feel like a shooter meant to be enjoyed, rather it feels like Valve flexing its muscles only because they can.

Wish we could all do more of that!

I once read that uninstalling packages with ADB on Xiaomi phones would make it even more painful to unlock the bootloader. It's probably just a one off half truth but even that made me be wary of just uninstalling things - but yeah this means whenever someone wants to sideload something on a Samsung they need to follow a tutorial at best, that's blegh.

I played this game twice, and tried to get to the end twice, and in both times I just WALKED AWAY. The original was actually playable and beatable in comparison.

One moment it's a shooter, then it becomes a driving game, then it becomes one of the earliest walking sims with long stretches of nothing, then a horror game, then a tactical shooter, and it wasn't good at any of them - it was all just cobbled together. Valve would have had a much better game if they sold just Ravenholm, the only part that actually evoked strong feelings in me.

And by this point in time I can't help but think the funny letter G guy is just a Mary Sue to glue the game together with very little character or substance besides "man in black".

I firmly believe the only reason this game is "beloved" is the same reason that iPhones sell just because of the logo of the company that made them. (And also because of this game every fucking company that breathes has an online DRM launcher)

Fear by Monolith and its expansions on the other hand, they were so much better despite the aiming system being unintuitive in comparison to HL the 2. Everything just clicks. I just loved Fear. But I'm sure this won't save me from "Ubisoft target audience" allegations.

Everything except the cyberware. No Mr. Studds, no Midnight Ladies, no nothing.
