  • with multiple scenarios and multiplayer

    CS2 is *only* multiplayer. Are you specifically looking for online-only PvP shooters? Or something with a single-player story?

    CS2 has already been suggested, it works fine and def has very polished graphics, physics effects (e.g. the smoke grenades), and of course an active player-base which is essential for online-only.

    Obviously it requires Steam - if you’re looking for something outside of Steam it’s going to restrict your options a lot.

    If not, you’ve also got older versions of Counter-Strike on Steam - you can still play CS Source and I think maybe CS 1.6 is still possible?

    I’ve also had no problems running Battlefield V on Linux - using Steam but at least you don’t have to also worry about logging into EA’s launcher, which is still there AFAIK but handled seamlessly in the background. I’ve not tried in a while - almost a year, there were enough players then to get a decent game going, not sure what it’s like now though.

    Another one which is (or at least was) popular is BattleBit Remastered - I’ve not personally tried it but it’s on my wishlist and has a good protondb score.



  • How many billions (in today’s money) were spent on going to the moon? What about the billions poured into refining the internal combustion engine? The billions that have gone into making and running massive particle accelerators?

    Technology is constantly advancing and we often don’t know where it’ll take us until we get there.












  • Hinduism is pretty incompatible with the Jesus narrative

    Of course it is lol

    If there were a real god that cared about what rituals you perform in this life, then you would expect multiple religions to appear independently all over the world with the exact same rituals. But that has never happened once. Every single religion is totally different from all other religions that are properly independent of it.

    Never has divine inspiration revealed the same “truth” in different parts of the world independently. Almost as if it’s all just common or garden mental illness.





  • Don’t you think the Jesus story would be a terrible way for an omnipotent being to send an important message that’s vital for everyone to hear? Just creating a normal human and plonking them in some desert backwater - who looks and sounds just like any other human. The only difference is he hears voices in his head, and can pull off some pretty mediocre magic tricks.

    If all it takes is an appealing story to convince you that something with literally no evidence is true and you should devote your life to it, there are many other stories like that, check out the Baghavad Gita for instance. Some really wonderful characters and truly fantastic events - not to mention absolutely mind-blowing magic, all of it completely true (apparently).
