RTS: Zero-K

RTT: Steel Division 2 and Warno

TBS: Dominions 6. Songs of Conquest if you want a modern casual HOMM3 clone.

TBT: Battle Brothers and Field of Glory 2

Grand Strategy: Basically everything from Paradox. Victoria 3 is my current favorite.

I was just about to ask something similar. Controversial sorting within a community is clearly broken in its current state. You’ll only see ancient posts unless the community is tiny.

Maybe a more reasonable question: Is there anyone here self-hosting on non-shit hardware? 😅

As a millennial, I’m probably not alone when I write Red Alert, Atlantis, Diablo and Fallout 2 on a computer without internet connection. Also endless demos from PC Gamer CDs.

The more unusual game I want to add is Warlords 3. Got it as a Christmas gift from my cousins boyfriend (he was maybe 20 years older than me). Probably because he wanted someone he could play shared screen PvP with. Spent a lot of time with that game. The same guy also gave me a pirate copy of Diablo. I should probably give him a call today and thank him.

Also playing Tibia on a 33k dial up connection was special. A very laggy and expensive experience. Always afraid that mom would just turn off the connection because she had to make a phone call. And the true horror I felt when I encountered another player or a new monster deep within an unexplored dungeon. I didn’t like WoW when it came out. Probably because of emotional bluntedness that free PvP in combination with gear + xp loss causes.

And I’m still chasing the dragon.

That must have been really awesome. ❤️

Alright. Thanks!

Why do you think Fairphone (5) is insecure?

My experience is not that they suck. But yeah, they sure don’t have the same spec as a premium iPhone or a Pixel. But they have a modular design, just like the Framework Laptop. I don’t know any other modern phone that does. And they use a SoC that is guaranteed to receive support for a long time.

I don’t think unbiased media exist. But some are at least less biased. And you want some bias towards scientific reasoning, honesty and meritocracy. Otherwise you introduce too much noise (which is one reason why being absolute about free speech leads to less free speech, and also the reason electronic warfare is something prioritized by politically weak and/or military weak state actors). Less noise usually correlate with what people perceive as left leaning or liberal bias (in the western political landscape of 2025). Might be very related to this. Also, I think it’s OK with biased media as long as one is open and explicit about it.

In Sweden I use Omni which is a commercial news aggregator, which I find relatively unbiased or balanced. Public service is pretty good as well.

For American news, I usually go for NPR first. Don’t know if they are super unbiased, but at least they are not full on crazy.

I’ve tried Ground News, but I feel it’s a bit too focused on politics of the English speaking sphere.

I don’t know if it’s sexist but it sure as hell is annoying. Don’t tell people to smile if you don’t have a very good reason.

Ah! LOL!

Well, just sell that crap. There is no excuse.

Can left leaning or liberal minded Apple users please switch to Linux now? There really is no excuse. Fuck Apple.

I will make it easy for you.
