There is a mode for Plague Inc where the tables are turned and you try to stop a pandemic, last I played!

Appreciate the fresher article :)

The article you linked is a year old; perhaps the economic situation has changed somewhat since last February.

Can’t blame ya; used from Valve is the way to go if you can! Good cost savings :)

Don’t forget the lack of touchpads! Good luck with anything that isn’t controller supported on top of that

There’s lot of good rom hacks to try (especially for Pomemon!) :) you might enjoy this one; it’s Pokemon Red, except all Pokemon are replaced by DBZ characters with all the ludicrousness that comes with that! Pokemon DBZ Team Training - https://www.pokemoncoders.com/dragon-ball-z-team-training/

Great update! Just need more squids lol

Agree with all of this, but don’t overlook the Blitzer against bots! Great for mowing down berserkers, the shield dudes, everything up to hulks (and the Commando takes over at that point lol), and it’s designed for a run’n’gun playstyle! Lightning has auto-aim, so you can run and shoot multiple enemies down per shot reliably (even behind you), and it’s a one-shot on a good chunk of enemies :) not to mention true infinite ammo (unlike the lasers). Aim down the sights to extend your range a bit (surprisingly effective!). Lots to love! Also performed well against the Voteless

Yeah, that’s terrifying 0.0 add something like that to that flamethrower drone dog out of Ohio and we’re looking at a real nightmare.

This! And the fcking idiots who used their votes to throw a temper tantrum about Harris/Walz’s stance on Gaza are in a high likelihood of having violence enacted against them in the states or flat-out getting deported. Like they were always high on the target list, do they not remember Trump’s muslim ban? Again, stupid fking idiots who slit their own throats in protest so they could get the shoes of the people they’re angry at messy. What they’ve done is ineffective, beyond short-sighted, and self-harming. Guess we get to see if Israel decides to rip down Al-Aqsa, replace it with a Third Temple now. Wouldn’t put it past them.

Looks cool! :)

If only Command would run on linux :/

Yeah 😅 much debt inbound

It’s a reference to crazy stuff MAGA nutters have said (specifically Muppety Taylor Greene 🤢)

“Hey there, Jeff” (0.0) that bit had me stuck for a month until I decided to push through it!

No problem! :) If you do opt to try making something yourself I’m sure the folks here at Lemmy would be more than happy to check it out and give you some feedback!

Maybe it’s time you made your own project (if you’re up to it) :) time to serve that quality bisque in a bowl deserving of it lol besides, things will never change if we stay the route with Jack Welch-esque CEOs running the show; we need more indie devs, more small businesses, people who want to make something great because they’re passionate, or even just folks who want a sustainable future without strangling ourselves with the noose of “line must go up” mentality.

But also that’s a metric ton of work, and owning a project like that is certainly a risk to take!

This! Consoles are losing to handhelds like the Steam Deck in terms of capability and price. This keeps up, and we might see more switch over!

Insightful piece!

Good on you for looking for an ethically sound option! Can’t speak to their manufacturing, but Valve has the Steam Deck you can get cheap, runs Linux in desktop mode (still handeld, just called that to differentiate from SteamOS). Works rather well! And Valve is nowhere near perfect, but they’re much less of an ethical quagmire than some other producers.
