    Yeah. I wanted to play Midtown Madness 3, after loving and modding the first two. But it was Xbox exclusive. I refused to save up for one, or ask for one as a gift. I was eventually gifted one, with MM3, and it is the only game I have for the Xbox.

    When Halo 2 for Vista dropped, and they tried to force players to Live Gold bullshit for voice chat, but we were all using Xfire. Eat shit, I’m not paying $10 a month to do something I can for free that my friends all have already. And I wouldn’t play another Halo title until the MCC dropped on steam - fuck locked down hardware and arbitrary limitations on the software and os. And they want money for that shit? Lmfao.

    My deep… ‘loathing’? For the dumbass decisions ms made regarding gaming for windows from 00 to 16, arguably longer. With ms driven by greed, and most folded for the games and series they loved… but I’m an absolute pain in the ass, never forget, never forgive kinda guy. I have a couple series of ms titles I like and buy, but they can fuck off with trying to get another red cent from me. Their slow sinking into stagnation and failure is… closure, for all the debates and arguments about how fucking stupid it is to pay for the ability to play with others, after already buying their box, and after already paying for internet. And then they can kill the servers at any time, and nobody seems to bat at eye. Yet I have games that are 20+ years old that I can run a server for and boom, me and friends can play. No money, no limitations, no bullshit.

    They fucked themselves. I’m just watching the ship sink. 🍿




















  • They aren’t true foss, but ‘source available’. I don’t remember why exactly (probably for licensing or something) and the typical user won’t know what that means nor care, but it is something to be aware of.

    I like and use Grayjay, but the keyboard was not up to my standards, personally. Can’t find any foss/adjacent keyboards to come close to SwiftKey at all. I’ve been using it since release like 16+ years ago (?) or something, and every time I try something else, it’s just bad for a bunch of reasons.
