Plasma 6.2

This is a really great release. Since the KDE Gear and Framework update yesterday all gripes I experienced with the Plasma 6 Megarelease are fixed.

Everytime I get a KDE update I am looking forward to trying new cool stuff.
Every Patch Tuesday I get an overwhelming feeling of dread.

GOG: When we said we let you ‘own’ your games, we meant that no matter what happens you’ll still be able to play them thanks to our offline installers. in c/games@sh.itjust.works

If it's an EXE and you just want extract it you can use https://github.com/dscharrer/innoextract
It supports the special GOG Inno files. And it's a lot faster than the official installer with less temp files.

It's also pretty fast at about 2000 rpm in burst mode. If they hadn't used caseless ammo this would have been a really reliable gun.

Loading it by turning the fold out knob is a bit wonky though. No satisfying chambering clanks like with the M14 or G3. Probably a plus in real combat.

It's not even that caseless. The bullets sit in a rectangular box that contains the primer, propellant and a plastic cap to center it. The ammo really is the worst part of that thing.

Thanks. I hate you so much.

I don't think it's a LSD like trip. But you definitely go "WOOAHHH" a few times. It's well made and rather short.

I vote for Concord. I didn't buy it, I didn't play it. But seeing Sony fail so spectacularly was massively entertaining. GOTY material indeed.

Other than being a nostalgia-reference filled and well put together time waster it's not that special. It's very inoffensive and it runs well. Maybe that is enough for most people to indulge and enjoy.

I don't think it GOTY material but I don't hate it. It's certainly fun and has tons of cute details.

Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off in c/games@sh.itjust.works

I am currently somewhat addicted to The X-Com Files. It's a mod for OpenXCom which in turn is a port of the original 1993 X-Com. It's fucking brilliant (and free).

Before that I played a campaign of Starsector. I also liked Gris and Dredge earlier.

I don't know which I despise more: sleazy ubi suits or the cockroaches that finance those ubi suits.

Fucking sucks that you can't just buy from a dev studio directly. So only indie games on GOG for me... Haven't had that much fun in quite a while. And no longer need to upgrade my PC.
