Build a home on it. Live the hallway dream.

No worries. The cost here is disk space as GAMMA is built on top of the free Anomaly game. In total, it looks like its costing me 89.3 GB of storage on an NVME, and they do recommend an SSD at least for the games (that total includes S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly, and GAMMA).

Anomaly can be obtained here https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly, and I believe you can get GAMMA from this discord https://discord.com/invite/stalker-gamma.

Follow the install instructions on the GAMMA discord when it comes to both Anomaly and GAMMA, they are pretty straight forward, and they have free support!

I think you would be impressed by the AI, it is some of the best enemy AI I have ever experienced. They peek corners just like a player would. The other day when I was playing, an enemy peeked a corner in front of me, shot me and immediately went back behind the corner. I walked into the building that they had peeked around and looked out of a window to see if I could spot them. The AI had backed up behind cover and was holding the corner they had peeked, not moving at all.

Never seen AI that smart in any game in my life, if I had walked around that corner, I would have been dead!

While the game is unforgiving and there is a fairly steep learning curve, it is one of the most incredible games I have played in my life, again, for free!

Let me know how it goes if you give it a shot :)

Single player, but stalker Gamma scratches that same itch for me better than tarkov ever could and its completely free.

Well shit, that does make sense.

+1 for air VPN, using it as well.

Marx’s theory of alienation rings a bell:

Sure, i2p or the invisible internet project is a FOSS project which acts as an anonymous network anyone can potentially access, and host on.

It does this by creating end to end encrypted peer to peer tunnels between its users and then sending data through itself via a path between some of the 50,000+ volunteers that make up the project. The path data takes is random so a third party seeing any communication in full is highly unlikely, and even at that, its still encrypted.

The software that implements this is the i2p router, and when using the i2p router you become a node on the network like everyone else using it, allowing pieces of anyone’s data to move through your router, just as your data moves through theirs.

The UX/UI is very good for new users and makes it easy to access, or host. Particularly, to my understanding, i2p is also very popular for torrenting due to the nature of how it works (in comparison to similar projects such as tor, there is an entire built in solution for torrenting included with i2p).

Similar in some ways different in others, actually surprisingly fast for what it does though and I find the user experience a lot nicer than tor.

Congratulations, you played yourself hahaha.

Maybe microsoft should try reinstalling windows.

Revolt chat.

For sure, in my case it is important to me as I am heavily involved with a lot of small streamer communities, and discord is the all-encompassing product which nearly all streamers use for announcements and updates, community projects, and sharing any non-stream content that is not a video.

Depending on how this goes with discord, this could be incredibly damaging to so many of these communities and I would really hate to see that.

The article states that it is opt-out and that there would be a toggleable setting to turn it off, but if they are going this way it does not bode well.

For anyone like me looking for an application with the same aesthetic feel and general functionality as discord (if Matrix chat does not suit you), then take a look at revolt chat https://github.com/revoltchat.

It’s basically an open source discord clone that looks almost identical, but lacks some of the more advanced features of discord in its current state.

Furthermore if you have a discord community and are worried about the future like myself, note that you can get discord/revolt bots which will clone content from your discord into your revolt. If you are worried about discords future, it may be wise to implement this now as an alternative backup.

This is how every licensed gun owner in Canada has felt for years. You can go read how they word those laws to get a good idea of how they would go about wording this one. It’s not great.

This is our government in a nutshell. Don’t like guns? Ban them from licensed owners instead of working against smuggling or changing the license requirement from a PAL to an RPAL. Don’t like gas cars? Ban them instead of working on public transit and infrastructure. Don’t like the flipper zero? Ban it instead of either licensing purchase and use like a billion other radio devices that exist, or holding car manufacturers responsible for ass security practices.

Can’t wait to find out what they don’t like next, I wonder what they’ll do? /s

Huge fan of Obsidian for note taking. Really love the backlinking system.

I had this happen to someone I mentor and pointed out that they had two versions of the same file in two different paths named the same. They were running the version in the other path than they were editing lol.

Gotcha, yea I thought that was the case!
