I know it’s not Friday, but can you tag this with [Forever-Free Friday] so it’s clear that it’s not a time-limited giveaway please?

Update: this game takes about 2 minutes to complete, probably didn’t need to have its own post!

Different use cases, innit? I have several personal machines, a work machine, and infinite containers and VMs to deal with so it’s not worth it for me. If you’re always on the same machine and can easily take your config with you to the next one then more power to you!

I would probably disagree with this advice, certainly for anyone who uses more than one machine. Setting up lots of specific aliases means you’re learning a unique system, and all your muscle memory becomes useless every time you’re in a container or SSHing somewhere without your tweaks.

Lemmy/Reddit is basically a forum with the one significant difference being threaded vs linear comments. Would a version of Lemmy slightly modified to have linear comments and only text posts work as a traditional forum?

No worries!

FYI I’ve covered the free-ness of Prime games at the bottom of the new sticky post

What do you mean? FYI this isn’t !Randomactsofgaming@lemm.ee, this is just an official time-limited giveaway

I guess parenting is the perfect preparation for such stress

Does it stay civil? Never does when I play!

Imagine if this was how you found out

It’s crazy how many full games you can play for free nowadays, I claim them way faster than I can play them!

If your friend is new to PC gaming then they might not be aware of how much they can get for free. I just wrote a post (stickied in !freegames@feddit.uk) summarising all the places you can regularly get freebies, could be a good way for them to try out a lot of different things.

When you die, you leave more than a coverall-clad carcass. Defeat the reanimated corpse of the last guard to succumb to the prison’s dangers to earn a powerful experiment. But beware, it’s not going to be an easy fight. The semi-alive guard has the same loadout they had when they met an untimely end and a few extra tricks up its sleeve to keep things spicy.

This is a pretty cool concept, the last game I remember doing it was ZombieU

Oh yeah, definitely looks shit, that doesn’t mean it’s not interesting though!

I think they’re mostly ending at new year but a couple might be sooner

I like setting what people can throw together out of weird bits and bobs like an architecture I’d never even heard of

Geopolitics aside, this is at least quite interesting

FYI that one was a bit quiet so I started !freegames@feddit.uk

Very different opinions from everyone today!

Good to know!
