Yea. I refuse to buy any game that tries to sell me microtransactions, battlepasses or really anything these days. If the sticker price does not cover the full experience, it’s just not worth the hassle.

or even worse than Reddit communities or Discord servers, they’re facebook groups a lot of the time too. I feel like I can’t find any association or organization for well, any sort of activity, without needing a fucking facebook account to be able to join their group on there.

I feel like the one thing preppers miss the necessity of often is social skills. If you’re adept at befriending people and getting them to work together you’re all going to be better off. We’re all humans and working together is how we made what we have.

I refuse to drive or take any form of public transport, unless I am going to be traveling far.

I walk or bike everywhere I go. I get to where I am going and I get exercise along the way. I barely think about it anymore, it has just become normal to me.

Friends are going to care if they’re actually friends.

I don’t want to talk about other peoples experiences when it comes to games and graphics drivers on linux. I can just mention my own experiences with it. As a disclaimer I have used linux for years, just not as my main desktop.

Graphics drivers I have not had any issue with, they’ve been pretty plug and play. Games I’ve found can be a bit hit and miss, most will just work fine right away through proton or wine while others can require a bit of tweaking and troubleshooting to get running properly. I have yet to run into a game that just would not run at all however, but that could also just be that the games that wouldn’t run are ones that didn’t interest me already.
