I'll have you know I am not (yet!) a Linux user. (Later this year, maybe.)

I had good friends to ply me with cheese and avocado. I still like meat but can eat it less frequently and with smaller portions.
But one of my dark secrets is patience. In the 70s, mom tried to quit red meat cold-turkey and didn't last one menstrual cycle, and I learned it's consistent among most women, that they are one period away from running down an elk in the woods in bloodlust.
So I'm only ever a week at most before someone nearby goes STEAK! TODAY! and we're feasting once again on the fresh, sautéd flesh of dead animals.
I have high hopes for cultured meat (lab-grown chicken is on the verge of hitting the restaurant supply market) which will serve the cruelty factor. Nutrition balancing is a whole 'nother matter.
To be fair the big three (Ford, GM, Chrysler) made some politicians very rich suppressing light and cross country high speed passenger rail, also public transit all across the nation.
The US (through its deeply corrupted electoral system) totally bought that ticket to ride that train... so to speak.
Advocation of or support for cooperation among western European and North American nations regarding political, economic, and defense issues
Truly a banworthy offense. I am ashamed.
My early Reddit experience was scary that way. I'd quickly learn the hard way (e.g. with antics and misunderstanding) that the name of a subreddit was either an early intention or an inside joke (that I didn't fully get).
Far right subs banhammered me for failing to speak the newspeak and signaling appropriate allegiances. Far left subs banhammered me for... saying something tankie-adjacient, I guess? I'm still not sure what atlantism is.
Okay when I was considering builds, I was figuring on Mint, but since that's an Ubuntu variant, I take that's a bad idea now?
Does the game just disappear if it was never cracked?
Considering there are tons of games that are no longer supported, the answer is yes, the game customer is left to the elements when the publisher decides they're done. And with the current DMCA, we're not even legally allowed to break DRM for legal purposes (such as to play games we bought when the DRM is no longer supported.)
Curiously, it does send a message for the determined end user that legality is only for suckers (or for companies who have to operate within the constraints of licensing). Curiously, Windows 10 and 11 depend on the ignorance of upper management regarding the degree to which Microsoft has surveillance access, since companies don't get to medium-sized without having a few skeletons in the accounting closet. I'm surprised so few companies haven't switched to Linux Red Hat (which has a similar support package) but then Red Hat is going through its own scandals right now.
Anyway, if your game is popular, you can expect the old version to be supported until the redux comes out. If it's a niche game produced by a company that the publisher bought a while ago and would like to forget, yes, it'll disappear into the aether as you watch.
Right now we already have aluminum printers and arrays that will turn a stone (wood, ice, etc) block into a detailed sculpture.
The cool thing is that prototypes can be printed and then turned into dyes to be filled with steel and cast, and NGOs are using this tech to arm African villages against warlords.
About the same time we make fusion power viable, well be able to construct civil projects in a simulation, test it against the elements with an advanced physics engine and then send an array of constructor robots to build it from the ground up.
Just in time for humanity to get wiped back to the stone age from perpetual severe weather.
Good to know! Thank you!
Next on my Steam wishlist, games that feature microtransactions or premium currency. (Mostly I play indie games anyway.)
I can't exclude EA and Activision in Steam searches. Conspicuous.
I like that the sun serves us many of our god tropes.
- It hurts to look directly at Helios.
- Helios beams us life-giving energy consistently, day to day, year-to-year epoch-to-epoch.
- A very long time ago Helios burped (CME) and toasted all the surface life. No one knows what made Helios so upset or if They'll do it again. (small CMEs are common and give us Aura Borealis. One during the telegraph age might cook our satellite arrays if it recurs.)
- In contrast to Helios, the rest of the solar system is about th3 size of a blood draw. The earth is a smear on a microscope slide.
- Spend too long in the presence of Helios and we get burned. We cant survive more than seconds in the unprotected presence of Helios.
- Without Helios, we'd quickly freeze and die.
To answer your question, for the non-tech-savvy having to pick a server is, yes, too much of a leap. We are conditioned in the industrialized capitalist world against making decisions we don't understand.
If we want to market it, we could make a wizard that randomly designates a server from a set of cooperating servers. Include also reminders that a user can join multiple servers and each one has separate rules (say, regarding posting NSFW material even to appropriate communities.)
I just talked to a Redditor who was entirely unfamiliar with the recent changes at Reddit.
