As a CS dude who uses Linux and is around way too many people who seem like they genuinely are in need of some therapy on a daily basis, this entirely checks out, tbh.

I'm now mildly worried for my own mental state

Yeah, same boat here. Was a longtime Sync Pro user back on reddit, and saw LJ as a dev worth supporting, but I'm not entirely on board with the changes on the privacy end. Maybe if that stuff changes I'll go back.

Up until the API debacle, that was my solution too. Now even that doesn't work. It's so bizarrely hard to look something up on the internet now.

Holy shit, I had no idea there was an Alundra rando now! That's fantastic news. I'll hafta do a few runs. It'll be nice to have a new way to experience the game after so long. Thanks!

Sway and dmenu when in a keyboard productivity sorta mood, KDE otherwise.

Alundra. It's basically the PS1's own Zelda title, with a bit of Terranigma DNA mixed in. I played it as a kid and remember being blown away by the plot, and unlike a lot of other games I played back then, this one mostly held up when I replayed it as an adult.

Very much this. The atmosphere here doesn't feel any different than it did back on reddit, for better or worse. I feel like there was a time when reddit was less pessimistic, but there's been at least a little of that vibe for a long time.

... most of them, embarrassingly. I buy games when they're on steep sale, but rarely actually gst to the end of them (Hollow Knight was the last one I completed, as I recall).

Well, that will set a lovely precedent for other "free" democracies... the people are angry at you? Just take their voice! What could go wrong...

Is Passport ID really sufficient? Might be better to just ask for a verified picture of the entire passport, gotta make sure they are who they say they are!

It feels like the hype for this game already died a year or two ago... let alone lasting five more years. There's nothing wrong with ensuring quality by having longer development cycles, but a nearly twenty year gap? They dropped the ball hard on maintaining momentum. Even worse, that means they'll be courting additional delays due to the usual hiccup of entering a new console generation and potentially having to tinker with the game engine mid-development...

Huh. I've wanted to try picking up COBOL for a while out of sheer curiosity. Guess now I've got an opportunity.
