5·3 days agoIf an Android program¹ is available elsewhere DRM free, open source, FOSS, etc., go for that instead, even before confirming the presence of this new DRM / social engineering tool in the given program. And if the program itself is not available, look for alternatives. And to make researches a little easier, some APK resources from the top of my head besides F-Droid and Github are Humble Bundle, Itchio, Patreon and potentially any Github alternative.
¹ “app” should never have replaced the name already adopted for no good reason

About the crossposting, maybe it’s a bug in the Lemmy software or the specific instance in which it was posted, so I’ll first ask in the meta community for fedia.io.
About manuals, reminds me I should pick the manuals of FFVI to read at some point. Sabin’s first ability always got me confused, since it requires diagonal movements on a d-pad.
(Titles aren’t supposed to hold half of the full text body, afaik…)
About your idea, some official materials, like game manuals, can be a good source of immersion too. Up to around mid-2000’s, I can remember them being pretty good, and even some sites and publishers that distribute such older games include such materials too.
And lastly, some UbO filters I made since I commented so much about them:

A few more (SFW) I forgot:
- https://www.gog.com/#giveaway (when a giveaway is present, it just scrolls you to that part of the front page)
- https://gaming.amazon.com/games (a cleaner redirect to
https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game) - https://www.zoom-platform.com/search/ (filtering in the site is still lacking, so my solution is a set of Ublock Origin filters)
- https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/browse?sortBy=currentPrice&sortDir=ASC&category=Game&count=40 (sorting by lowest price first - UbO helps here too)
- https://www.gog.com/en/games?priceRange=0,0&hideOwned=true (showing only the freebies, permanent or otherwise, from the whole catalogue, and filtering out what the user already has)
- https://randombundlegame.com/ (not directly useful, but maybe people can use it to keep an eye whenever another massive bundle pops up)
Of the NSFW ones, first the DLsite ones (so many because the store is split in multiple sections, and so much noise in the links because filters are hardcoded into them):

I have a few more resources noted down, if you’d be interested for the list:

Should I list the NSFW resources too?
As much as GOG/CD Projekt have more than their fair share of problems, usually their versions of games work, can be preserved, don’t require as much bloat, launchers included, and usually don’t require 3rd party validation. And like others said, besides Wine and related, and installing through Steam as external games, you can also install stuff very easily through Heroic and the sort. So I’d say it’s the better option indeed.

If I understand correctly, you’re struggling with isolation? If so, and if you have the time and resources for it, maybe finding a hobby, sports club, etc. in your area could help?
Hopefully he’s just quiet. Having a derelict community for so long could be dangerous very dangerous, specially when it’s expected for posts here to be legit.
Besides Flatpak, Heroic also has an official AppImage version, if the OP wants to have an even more portable program.

3·9 days ago“Dumbfication” of songs is part of the reason I started listening a lot to rock. Quite a few rock bands seem to at least try to make something thoughtful.
But also been finding some musics outside of this niche too. Like, after some 10 years, I found again a music I quite enjoyed back then, Stromae’s “House’Llelujah”. I don’t speak French so figuring the lyrics out is hard, but for this “DJ” type of music, besides the rhythm, it also appears to have a more thought out lyrics.
I prefer psychological horror over jumpscares by a long shot, so my recommendations are a bit slower than what people may recommend, but if it strikes your and your wife’s fancy, here are them:
Dreaming Sarah, Wishing Sarah, Tanglewood, Parasite Eve, Wake Up (by Philosophic Games), UNLOVED, The Corruption Within.

Agreed with Magician and RmDebArc, and besides that, it could also be for the challenge, for the enjoyment, or because the vision of the dev only works in such a platform. And with emulators that allow commercial use around, the developer can also publish his games to modern platforms without having to rebuild the whole game.
