This isn't exactly "can't live without," that would be HomeAssistant. But what I Immediately thought of?

Beyond All Reason

This is an RTS game in the spirit of Total Annihilation.

  • labor of love
  • fully 3d, including ability to rotate or raise/lower view
  • tens of thousands of units without hardware lag for reasonably modem hardware (3-4 years old)
  • all shots actively rendered, leading to:
  • realistic friendly fire
  • even air units can get hit by ballistic shots targeting land units (although odds are fairly slim)
  • redirect-unit-to-dodge micro is effective in some situations
  • meaningful terrain
  • radar will have blind spots based on line-of-sight
  • radar gives clear indicator of coverage during placement
  • two factions, almost 200 units each, with tier 1, 2, and 3 units. A third (currently playable with a setting change) faction is in the works.
  • crafty, non-cheating ai opponents
  • free server hosting (!)
  • active servers all times of day

The overall feel and balance of the game is great. The changes they make to balance are generally light and reasonable, and the game had a good community.

Fam and friends play together often.

Yeah, as far as FOSS I almost actually can't live without: HomeAssistant controls my spring pump to the cistern so that the pipes don't freeze.

I doubt part of your statement.

I am, but all I can think is that the little bastards need some fucking culture!

The KKK are indeed a fundamentally social problem, but may need to be curtailed with enforcement at times.

I had to ditch my girlfriend because she became an arch elitist. Debian ftw.

Oh! Yes, of course.

Did you even read what I wrote?

Those few Dems are clearly the ones pushing this. But that it should be bipartisan and should have more support in general has nothing to do with false equivocation.

The irony here, though, is that because of your partisan BS, you clearly interpreted that as an insult to the Democrats.

No. Not at all. That's not the comment I replied to.

Hey bro? Calm down, it was a joke. It's not that serious. Did you skip your meds today pal?

Supporting the person who does take it seriously, though, when you make fun of him with that dull take? Absolutely.
