I’m so glad I switched to Kagi. The writing was on the wall once they started rolling out the AI suggestions wide.

I really like komoot but I find that the routes are not super good or complete for Japan where I live. I use Ride With GPS instead.

Another stellar release. 8bitdo are seriously becoming a force to be reckoned with. When my Xbox Elite 2 dies I’ll probably get one of these to replace it. Already have the Ultimate as my go to for the Switch and when I have my Steam Decked docked to the TV.

Wonder if all this tariff nonsense it going to hurt its foothold in the US…

No problem! When I get home I will cross-link to Journaling too! Let’s build some great places here.

Gotta start somewhere. Hopefully we can turn it into a nice and vibrant community!

Hadn’t seen the tweet. I was using Hey but those founders have also been problematic apparenty, and the service is just expensive, not as secure as what Proton offers, and I thought I could consolidate a number of services and accounts and save some money…

JFC CAN JUST ONE COMPANY I PAY MONEY TO NOT TURN OUT TO BE A NIGHTMARE.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Wait… what happened to proton? I just signed up…😩

This is something that I wrestle with. There are certain companies I don’t want to spend money with, but I want to support the work and the crews who work on those things.

The argument is my money doesn’t go to the crews. But my time spent watching adds to the metrics that gets these shows and albums greenlit, but ultimately it comes down to how you feel about those quandaries.

I make games for a living so I feel that supporting is best for me. If no one bought the games I worked on I couldn’t feed my son. Instead I’m making more conscious decisions about where and how I spend my money. I just switched to Proton for my email, I use Kagi for search. I support teams I care about and support services I believe in. I buy games I want to play. I don’t think too much about the other things.

If a show is not available in my country easily, I do pirate. That’s kinda the only thing I pirate these days.

Have they released numbers yet? Surely it has sold pretty well, the word of mouth must be decent.

I will admit I haven’t watched the video (I’m going to when I get home) but I thought Avowed was doing pretty well?

A number of major podcasts and outlets are signing its praises. It has some divisive scores for sure, but I’ve certainly anecdotally heard way more praise than criticism from games media, and friends of mine who are playing.

Obsidian have been on a pretty decent roll for quite some time. Avowed is exactly what Gamepass was seeking to support - smaller focused games, and it ain’t even that small. 30-50 hours from what I’m hearing.

I’m not even a massive fan of the genre, or the studio, but I don’t really get the negativity surrounding the game. Seems pretty successful by most metrics to me.

Alrighty, I’m going to give it a real go when I finish moving house and see how it goes.

I heard that CachyOS is pretty good with NVIDIA so maybe that’s the best bet and just see if all my games I’m currently playing work.
