I believe in , we need free software and the recent case shows this. However, I also think that the is suboptimal and is not the best body to represent users’ needs, for various reasons. Some of these reasons are:

* The FSF is too radical or dogmatic in its views and actions.

* The FSF is too outdated or irrelevant in the modern software landscape, it lives in the long-forgotten past.

* The FSF is too ineffective or inefficient in its operations and campaigns, they preach to the same choir over and over again and never seem to reach new ears.

@darth there's also The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. But I don't know, it's less impactful than Breath of the Wild and more predictable than Hugwarts winning.

has stated that the and refresh will be all digital and will not have an optical drive. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I fully understand this. Using optical media feels like something we used to do a couple of decades ago. At some point, it has to stop, and I fully recognize that this creates some challenges with video game preservation. But does it really? nowadays are so dependent on servers, patches, etc… that I suspect physical media or not the game preservation efforts cannot rely on discs alone.

@darth it has a good chance to be game of the year, it is a game that really makes you feel like you entered the Harry Potter universe.

I asked a software engineer once what it would cost to build this today. I will never forget his answer:

“We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”

@whatatoots health is another one, working from home gives you much more time to work out before or after work and you aren't exposed to office foods and snacks that can derail your healthy diet.

Panos leaving Microsoft after creating and running the Surface hardware line over the past ten years to go work on Alexa & Echo devices is a massive W for Amazon and L for Microsoft.

Unity has earned their name. They've united almost every developer against them.

One thing I will NEVER get used to is people saying to mean

It's like saying car to mean Ford and just specifically Ford.

@MissingThePt joking aside, I am still waiting for the temporary extra security measures that were added after 911 to go away. Any moment now travel will be back to normal... Still waiting.

Having enjoyed two recently with simpler graphics ( and ) I think I now want simpler graphics. Comparatively, I also tried playing and sure it looks like your usual polished and hyper-detailed game but I didn't enjoy it or its looks much. This also has the advantage that my , , or isn't catching fire keeping up with the graphics.

So what I am saying I guess can be summarized as I value unique stylized graphics more than realistic especially when it comes with the added bonus of the game being more performant.

@gamingonlinux I think the damage is done, unless there's a complete change of management at Unity Technologies I think it is unlikely that the trust will not be regained.

I wasn't super mega keen on the

It seemed like an extension of the old Mario 3 cartoon and it was entertaining enough, but at least to me it was a little meh.

Not a terrible video game movie but not exactly Ready Player One or Detective Pikachu.

I would have preferred it if Peach was more Peach like and of Mario spoke like Mario. That’s just two small changes I would have made.

@AnnieRat1 I have this one too, but it's not so special to me that I'd get a cover for it 😉
