There is also the lesser known, but quintessential space game: Space Rangers (GOG). It takes a little figuring out, since it's a Russian game from 2003 (and a successor of the 1999 game) and they kind of tend to be obtuse like that; but, its genuinely the coolest space sandbox I've played. It's kind of a space Mount and Blade: you can fight aliems, you can trade, you can be a mercenary, or a pirate, and the game accomodates for all of that. At whim, it switches between the core X4-esque gameplay to an RTS, or to a text quest, some of which are basically an entire game of their own. The English translation is a little spotty, but it's good enough.

Mandalore made a video about it some time ago.

It's also got a ton of mods! Though not all of them have translations.

I've definitely seen both opinions, but mostly leaning negative in my experience. Might just be confirmation bias though lol

Yea, it takes some messing around to get working, and sometimes it wont work at all. It does get progressively better with each update though, so its worth trying again once every so often :v

Ive been using Photoshop CC6 on my Arch over wine for about 2 years nowand it runs mostly great. Some occasional jank, especially when resizing windows or undocking toolbars, but other than that it works! I think you can even get the later versions working, and its only the installer thats bricked. If you ever wanna try again, I've found best performance running it in Bottles with Soda fork of wine, and the portable version of CC6 from rutracker, the Xpuct release I believe

Likely cuz Brody is widely considered to be obnoxious and sensationalist, and his videos range from being only surface level to just straight up wrong

Small correction, her name is Hata no Kokoro, with the 'no' being the possessive particle, as in Kokoro of the Hata [clan]

Op said thei got an old notebook, trying to run a VM on it would probably be a miserable experience. Depends on the exact model of course, but with low specs and potentially lower hardware support for VMs, its not likely to be a good solution.

dont bother correcting apostrophes as its not a grammatical mistake, simply lazy typing. well never stop doing that no matter how much yall tell us not to, cuz it simply aint all that much of a problem

Community in question has been eduring this for at least 4 years now. Id wager to say that taking matters into their own hands via activism and demanding change with whatever methods they can is a very good look actually.

I think the order they talk in in panel 1 is inverted actually. More like:

Person 2: My car/moving house is the best.

Person 1: Bring it here

That's so thorough, thank you so much! Gonna try all of that next time around!
