Home Assistant doesn't require to pay for anything at any point in time for any reason. If you want to expose your instance to the web, they have all the documents on how to do it yourself. There's absolutely nothing "hidden" behind a paywall. The only reason to say is if you want Nabu Casa to handle exposing your instance to the internet and various cloud services like Google Assistant/Alexa. The reason to pay Nabu Casa is if you don't have the technical know how (or lazy like me) and to help fund Home Assistant (which I want).

That's all to say that Plex and Home Assistant are not similar in their pay scheme. It'd be more akin if Jellyfin started charging users to allow a one click way to stream outside the home with no obligation to.

Heroic Games Launcher allows you to install almost any game from GOG, Epic and Amazon and play on Linux just like Steam does. Can even have the games added to be launch from Steam automatically. Great for Steam Deck and desktop.

Wanna see that thing in action! Looks dope AF.

Really shoulda been White Scars though. The blueberries always get the love.

Loot boxes are effectively gambling as there is no guarantee on what you'll get. People in general can get addicted to the rush of getting that rare item the first time (which is usually what happens with a first open to get you hooked) and then either buy more loot boxes or the keys to open them.

Not sure how you got puritanical from that. It's actually medical. Anything in excess will damage your body. I'm just as concerned for people's bodily health as I am their spiritual health.
