As for the wallet thing , it does depend on the payment method at least in my country

Yeah, at the of the day whatever they claim comes from dogma is king so being gay/women having bodily autonomy will always be considered some form of sin, regardless of how much they try to be “welcoming” to the people whose actions they claim are inherently sinful.

As a queer person I’m definitely biased, but I’ve always seen acts like those as empty gestures, a mockery of what actual empathy and acceptance are supposed to be. I just don’t see how those can truly flourish within organized religion as I’ve known it, my way or the highway is how it all works by design so it’s a lost cause as far as I’m concerned.

I respect your reaction a lot. The world would be a much more pleasant place if more people were willing to look past their comfort zone and see institutionalized hate for what it is.

I’ve been done with them for most of my life by now but I really didn’t think they could sound much more bigoted, at least not this loudly. Joke’s on me, I guess! This tacitly endorses several major human rights issues going on right now.

They’ve been saying the quiet part out loud for a while when it comes to gay people while also trying here and there to pay lip service to them since it’s not as socially acceptable to hate on that particular minority anymore. This though, is as official and hateful a middle finger as it gets with no punches pulled, particularly at gender diverse folks. At this point I can only hope it leads to more followers realizing the institution is rotten to the core and distancing themselves from them, much like yourself.

I’ve finally sat down and beat the first Psychonauts game, in anticipation for the sequel. What a gem, I’m glad I did! Can’t wait to dive into 2.

Side note, I know Steam got the easier, patched version of Meat Circus and that still kicked my ass for a good handful of tries. Hell of a difficult spike for a game that’d been really forgiving right up to that point, apparently failing either the escort section or the platforming gauntlet used to mean losing a life? I’d probably have watched the ending on yt at that point lol. As it is, I found it needlessly frustrating and mildly annoying but definitely doable.

That’s totally valid, just wanted to share my two cents from having messed with systemd a fair bit. At any rate, congrats, that’s a win for sure! :)

I’ve always been under the impression they don’t support multi touch at all, I guess your findings corroborate that. Niche as your use case is, I do love the idea though!

It sounds to me the target you’d want here is network-online.target, going by the info here

I haven’t actually finished DD1 but that’s 100% on my attention span, it’s an amazing game and I’m super excited for the sequel! Never played anything quite like it, the way you explore and how dark and terrifying nighttime is will always stick with me. I started on that hard difficulty setting way back when, forgot what it’s called, and it was a really fun ride right up to the point I suddenly stopped playing for no particular reason I can recall.

Oh and it’s got some of the coolest spells I’ve ever seen in a game. Take something like the tornado spell. Most games would hand you a moderately sized green wind burst or something and call it a day, DD actually gives you what feels like a city destroying one you take ages to cast lol. Most of the ones I remember are like that and I love them so much.

The way companies try and upsell retro games rarely ever wins me over, so I just stick to emulation on my Deck, whatever pocketable emulation device I own at the moment and PC 99% of the time. I’m a technical user and I have no qualms with pirating unrealistically priced or hard to access content, so the barrier of entry is basically zero to me. The only collections and such that catch my eye are the ones with additional QoL features, good supplementary material, stuff like that. I don’t even mean basic features like filters, scaling options, save states or rewinding, RetroArch probably does it better anyway, I mean things I wouldn’t be able to get otherwise like added difficulty settings or expanded content.

The perfect examples of what I’m looking for are things like Atari 50 and The Making of Karateka. Unrealistic to expect of most, granted, but the gold standard as far as I’m concerned. A good, more vanilla example is the Mega Man Battle Network collections, since they have proper online play and content that was previously Japan only.

Best Brazilian representation in gaming bar none tbh, love the guy

To a 10yo game, no less lol

I just use Lutris for everything since it integrates with all the storefronts I care about, but as others have brought up Heroic is also a good option. I’d say try a handful of games on each and see which you prefer.
