Galaxy theme is honestly one of my favorite pieces of music of any genre :).

Outer Wilds Journey Flower Abzu Shadow of the Colossus The last Guardian Mass effect Metal Gear Solid Undertale Thomas Was Alone What Remains of Edith Finch Dear Esther Firewatch No Man's Sky Death Stranding

I really like video game soundtracks :)

Signal is doing just fine with donations only.

Debian is one of the biggest free software communities and it isn't going anywhere.

Most projects have a limited lifespan, this is not just limited to open source projects. The good thing is that when there is a need, people get together and start building. For example music players on Linux have come and gone, but I will always be able to listen to my stuff comfortably.

Money is needed to survive, but these projects exist because we want more than that, to live satisfied and happy lives. This is something that goes beyond money or survival, but is still a very strong and genuine incentive.

Thank you for opening up this discussion!

I like Voice for my audiobooks. Also Newpipe and of course Signal :).

I don't know if it's actually a mechanic but I love it when a game has instant restarts and generous checkpoints. Takes away a lot of the frustration and allows me to play on a higher difficulty and still enjoy my time with it.

Plop Plop Plop Plop made me immediately hear it in my head :)

I agree on both a Short Hike and your experience with Trackmania grinding. We seem to have very similar tastes :)

A Short Hike might be my favorite peacefull one. Or death stranding on a lower difficulty.

I can understand, but for me I feel Kojima has this beautiful combination of camp and seriousness. There are bits where he clearly is to full of himself and would have needed an editor, but the main feeling and dynamics of death stranding is still something very unique and genuine.

I too waited a pretty long time until finally biting the bullet. It being a part of Playstation Plus Extra helped. It's also a really nice game to play on the side if you want to take a breather from the other genres you're playing.

Also, I can recommend playing the original Metal Gear Solid. It is my favorite in the series and one of my favorite games of all time. Really still holds up well, and of you use a nice old school CRT shader it even looks nice in my opinion :).

Isn't there already a big Linux community on lemmy.ml? Or do we want a specific beehaw community for that?

I totally agree, this game is just so obviously anti violence, really nice change from all the other big games.

A Short Hike is simply delightful. I just started playing it and it feels so genuine and kind, just a cute and happy little game!

It really does make sense to me what you said :).

I'll check out that community too. Is cross-posting or something similar a thing on lemmy?

I agree that Sam's movements were extremely detailed and realistic. It really helped flesh out the world and connection with the player.

I put a lot of time in Leaf Blower Revolution, I find it way more compelling than any other I tried :).

Antimatter Dimensions I quite liked for a bit, NGU Idle really didn't work for me.

Gridle is pretty cool and short (less than an hour to complete)!
