This is one of my biggest issues with always online single player games. It completely ruins the ability to collect and revisit games. I enjoy retrogaming but the advent of always online limits the lifespan of games to the servers remaining online.
I enjoy smoking meats, and occasionally compete in KCBS-sanctioned competitions. A community to discuss BBQ, bounce ideas off each other, and share insight would be welcome.
I started my journey toward tiling window managers with Awesome, before moving to XMonad for a number of years. These days, I have settled on i3 (and now Sway). I still sometimes miss the configurability of XMonad, but have come to appreciate the manual tiling approach of i3/Sway.
I primarily use Arch as my daily driver. At work it is all Ubuntu, and my personal infrastructure / homelab is a mixture of Debian and Alma/Rocky.
I have been thinking about this a lot in light of recent events. Growing up in the era of smaller communities, forums, etc. I can’t say large, monolithic, corporate entities have ultimately been a change for the better.
