I’ve never heard of that type of action occurring anywhere else.
There were a couple of high profile cases in Canada a while back.

All the way through your comment I was thinking, you should try Slay the Spire, but you beat me to it. Another one you might consider is Star Traders: Frontiers I don’t think it has any microtransactions (it’s also on Steam)
I mean, it’s not a masterpiece but I don’t think it deserves 20%. I’d say the IMDB rating is the most accurate IMO.
My bet, A youtuber discovered the game and made videos that did reasonably well in the indie audience, then other youtubers picked up and it snowballed some. I’ve been seeing more coverage of the game on youtube for a couple of years now.
That game’s closer to 20+ years old. It’s been a very long time since I’ve played it. It was way back when gaming on Linux was mostly limited to games that had a native Linux release.
I haven’t tried these so I cannot comment on their quality. But this has a list. Of particular note is RetroArch, OpenEMU, and Gens as three FOSS options.
Edit: Also, alternativeto.net is usually a decent source for finding alternatives for specific software. Here’s the list for Kega Fusion alternatives. This has some more options than the other link I provided.
I quite enjoyed the dungeon keeper games back in the day
IIRC Exanima itself was never meant to be the full open world RPG. It was always intended to be a smaller game to perfect some of the game mechanics for their ultimate goal of building that open world RPG. I have no idea if they still plan to build that other game or if they are working on it in parallel or have ditched it entirely.
Edit: The community seems to believe that the devs are still planning to make Sui Generis at any rate. Exanima has been in EA for 10 years or so now, and based on what I’m seeing online they are almost at their 1.0 release version, at which point they will divert their attention to to Sui Generis. Take with a pinch of salt, as this information comes from the r/exanima community on reddit.
DS9 gets way better in the last few seasons, IMO. Worth sticking with it.
Yeah, that’s one of the geographical differences I was alluding to. In Canada it can mean either depending on context.
AFAIK it ends up on the ground, and in the ground water. Which means that it could contaminate drinking water if it’s not treated properly. It will enter rivers and lakes, and snow and everywhere else that water gets.
As an English speaker I would naturally interpret “You are worth dick” and “you are not worth dick” in the same way.
I took German classes in high school and have been struggling ever since not to automatically capitalize nouns when I write in English. It’s been like 25 years.
This is English, but Canada specific as far as I know.
“Fucking the dog” - means to slack off, particularly at work.
“I fucked the dog all day at work today” basically means I got nothing done.
It is distinct from “screw the pooch” which means to fuck something up badly.
That’s generally true, but there are some exceptions. For instance. “I’m pissed” can either mean “I’m drunk” or “I’m angry” depending on where you are and the context.
A wave rarely comes alone
An equivalent idiom in English for this one might be “When it rains, it pours”
Only if the rest of the sentence matches the tense to make that clear.
I went to a movie this Saturday
This one is yesterday. But I personally would just say “I went to a movie Saturday” and drop the “this” entirely in that case.
I’m going to a movie this Saturday
This one refers to the upcoming Saturday.
Meh, I saw documentaries listed but didn’t catch that they weren’t looking for those specifically. Doesn’t matter the OP isn’t the only one in this thread and so it’s here in case someone else finds it interesting.
Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur
This channel focuses on exploring concepts in science with an emphasis on futurism and space exploration, along with a healthy dose of science fiction. While we explore many concepts and technologies that are far beyond us now, we try to keep everything inside the bounds of known science or major theories.
The Y2K issue was real, but a lot of people spent a lot of effort to fix it before it became a problem. The dire warnings were exaggerated, it was never going to end the world, but the problem really did exist and it really could have led to some pretty serious issues especially with financial institutions.
