Fair enough. I’ve tried using twitch on my Fedora laptop with FF and I get blocked out by their browser message so I assumed that they were restricting access to chromium only.

Isn’t that just because Twitch doesn’t allow you to browse it using Firefox though?

It’s because nothing is punk anymore. Everything has been commodified, especially radical art.

There has yet to be a game in the intervening 25 years that has scratched the same itch as freelancer for me. Perfect blend of story and sandbox.

Absolutely! Black Earth gets semi-regular rotation around these parts too.

Mainly black and old school death metal. Also some ambient and contemporary classical.

I was also in this position, there is so much gaming content out there but the whole state of journalism seems to have really fallen off.

Last year I discovered MinnMax though and some of my faith has been restored. They are a community funded group of journalists and enthusiasts who run a weekly ~3 hour podcast about games and the industry. They are mature, lucid, insightful, and also pretty funny. They’ve also been doing a yearly best-of list for a long time which is a good jumping off point if you want to dip your toe in. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in gaming and the industry.

That was a super interesting read - thanks for the writeup!

I exclusively use phones with a 3.5mm jack. Currently on a Sony Xperia 1 IV. That said, I also use bluetooth IEMs sometimes and I like having the option of switching between wired/wireless when convenient.

Not sure about the US, but here in Australia many golf courses are built on flood plains where regular development would not be permitted. Still not nearly as beneficial as native bushland would be, but not as much of a “waste of space” as many tend to believe.

One of my favourite black metal albums is Rain Upon the Impure by The Ruins of Beverast. Nothing he’s done before or since comes even close to the perfection of that album.

Or Worship Him which is by far their best work.

I agree. I wish I didn’t love so many of Polanski’s movies…

Thanks for this. I was going to comment that corruption charges in India must either be punitive or politically motivated because it’s literally everywhere. I don’t think India in its current state would function without corruption.

I also do this and am also ostracized and condemned by passengers for my behavior. Worth it.
