I stopped meeting with a doctor who told me to do yoga instead of referring me to physical therapy.

Hard truth though is you need that kind of motion to keep your back in check regardless, not necessarily yoga. I spent over a year in physical therapy after being bedridden for a good 10 months simply because my spine started its own minor scoliosis. Instead that doctor took their frustration with my case out on me because I insisted on having pain while not meeting their possible diagnosis'

But yeah aint gonna do much for actual scoliosis, im just beyond thankful I returned to being functional instead of in massive constant pain

Whatever you do, don't install clockwork and valkerien skies. You maybe become but a memory to your wife

I've practically been groveling begging my girlfriend to switch.

Its not that bad just ignore the ads

Yeah I don't go in replies because it's always bots

There's still some things on there

She didn't really catch onto mastodon, discoverability is the problem imo. May try getting her onto bluesky even though it wouldn't be my pick. Some people just like whatever they currently have more than change - which maybe not being able to block like EVERY OTHER media platform may be a big enough change.

If I had a nickel for every time these guys were suspiciously pointing to "States' rights", I'd have two. Which isn't a lot, but paints a clear picture.

Shut up with your history man I don't want to learn and want to repeat until the earth boils, what's so wrong with that?

No but really, if these tools were actually to be used in such an egregious manor of which their creators envision, their little short term stock bump means actual energy and water scarcity for a lot of us. Yay. Could be any other proletarianization, but we get the one that could really fuck us over

Statistically speaking, if the other 96% of normal people who play games of that genre couldn't be asked to play it, what percent of the 4% would be any more interested?

And as a pretty long term linux user, any good game I care to play so far has had no need to market to my small demographic. Not using shitty practices rampant through AAA basically guarantees it just works under wine, it's incredible really.

Also as someone slowly building a game, that won't be a demographic I'll explicitly market to. Linux support is necessary as it's what I use, but also as a result of using open source software. Godot is the engine I picked as it was the most prominent FOSS option at the time, and turned out to be a damn good pick.

My point is, normal people don't care about Linux, they just want something that entertains them. AAA continues to get more greedy and cut their deliveries, people who like games will feel more burned and start looking around.

If this can be a guiding light to Linux or whatever, then that's great. But the people who care about that sort of thing have to make sure there actually are other things to look to, by the time Linux desktop user share reaches 5% (maybe).

No linux support

Well, you got 4% max that care about that, the rest though.

And 400mil and no marketing is surprising as usually it seems to go the other way, at least they delivered something... god the bar for AAA is low, but not wasting money on poorly targeted ads and otherwise hyping is new
