Try Strawberry, Audacious, and Lollypop. There’s a lot of options, it just depends on what you’re looking for. I could give better suggestions if I knew what features are important to you.

This is optional and only happens if you check “Simulate Witcher 2 Save” when creating a new game I believe. Just choose no.

I did not realize this game is being made by KT Racing. Their WRC games were kind of yearly copy/pastes and the last one had around two months of updates before it was abandoned.

I won’t dismiss this game yet but it has me a bit worried.

Nope, no microtransactions, not F2P in that sense. Check out the patch notes: https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/02/no-mans-sky-omega-update/

For any client that does not support ListenBrainz but does support Last.FM you can use multi-scrobbler to chain off of it. https://github.com/FoxxMD/multi-scrobbler

Personally, I like it way more than 3. I could never get into the older games (including 3). Others say it’s a “reskin of 3” which I think is kind of ridiculous.

The story so far is actually pretty intriguing. I mean, it’s not mind-blowing, I’m pretty sure of what will happen, but it’s still good for a game in this genre.

Replayability is really endless, but, I don’t know if I’d say it has more replayability than the older games, it just may be more replayable for you if you like it more.

I have not used Plex in years, however, just the fact that Jellyfin is FOSS is enough for me to want to use it more. I am not sure what features Plex has that Jellyfin doesn’t, but, it does everything it can do really well. Honestly, just throw it up next to Plex and see how you like it. Installation is a breeze, at least with Docker.

Pop!_OS. I have always loved System76 and have one of their laptops, as well as an HP Dev One that I use as a daily driver. The convenience and tiling system of the DE is the simplest I’ve used so far and works perfectly. I used to run Arch but I just don’t want to deal with it anymore, honestly.

I usually pre-order PC games that come with a pre-order bonus on Steam because I can just refund it in two hours of playtime/2 weeks in library if it sucks. If it doesn’t, well, I was going to buy it anyway. I know game prices are ridiculous now and I’m buying far less than I used to but being able to just refund it is a game-changer.

Check out Jellyfin when you’re looking at your options for something like Plex. I love it.

Diablo 4! I find it oddly relaxing in my current state of mind. At first I was adamant about listening to the soundtrack and all the voice acting but I’ve found I enjoy it way more by just reading the story and listening to my own music.

I’ve got a necromancer and a sorcerer. Necromancer is incredibly easier, to the point I haven’t touched the sorcerer since I made it. I will probably make another character soon, not sure what.
