From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Or do as I do.

  1. Buy game.

  2. Never play it.

I have a problem.

Or as I do:

  1. Watch videos of Cyberpunk
  2. Think of buying it
  3. Realize I still haven’t finished Mass Effect
  4. Never actually buy Cyberpunk.

Currently I’m thinking of Baldur’s gate 3, but you know… I’ll probably get around to it in a few years.

Buying any game after 3-5 years is the way to go. The bugs are fixed, patches are out, so mods are stable and most of the time you can find a sale where it costs 10-20€. And if you forget about it before that time, that means the game was not worth it

On top of that, there might be a bundle with the base game + a few DLCs + christmas discount or whatever.

You’re allowed to get another game even if you haven’t finished a previous one. You’re only here for like 80ish years so why not sample all that interests you?

This is what I feel. I've finished ToTK and Baldurs Gate 3 once(so far...), but beyond that I haven't finished a game in probably years. Hasn't stopped me from having fun in tons of games over the years. I usually play for gameplay more than story anyways, with a couple exceptions.

Video game monogamy is a recipe for no fun 👍

It's not that great tbh. I spent maybe 6 hours in it and didn't get hooked. With BG3 however, I'm at 60 hours and I can't put it down

Same, not enough space?
