@xianc78 Seconded. Fuck's sake.

People used to use it to add some redneck/salt-of-the-earth effect to their speech, and it was an annoying affectation back then. Then the last few years it's gotten picked up by scoldy social justice types that want to sound *ahem* "urban". Every other word that comes out of their mouths sounds like "New England prep school" and then they say "y'all" and it grates on the ears.

Bro steam is kind of stupidly particular with shit. My game has a notice that the version is an insider beta, so they denied the build on that grounds since the game page doesn't mention it is a beta. Why the fuck do you think I have my release date set for 2025 dawg? So what, I have to remove the text saying it's a beta in-game and it'll suddenly be okay? Meanwhile actual shovelware shit with copyright infringement gets pushed onto the platform no problem. So now I have to resubmit my build with the version number removed and wait another 5 days for it to be approved. So stupid.

History ain't gonna write itself. Put your best foot forward today and work to accomplish those goals!

This week's donation went to the Devuan project. It's a Linux distro based off Debian which not only doesn't use SystemD but during install gives the user a choice between SysVinit, Runnit, and OpenRC. If you use the netinstaller option you also get a choice of desktop environments during install including XFCE, Cinnamon, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, LXQT and Mate. It can also easily be used with the libre kernel if one wanted to if you follow the instructions at FSFLA. It uses the Ext file system by default. The latest release is called Daedalus which is based off Debian 12 but you can install Excalibur which is based off Debian testing if one needed newer packages. Overall it is a great option if one wants a distro giving them more freedom of choice during install.

The project's main website is here:

The project has a forum here:

The project accepts donations through Paypal, crypto and bank transfer if you wish to help financially:

Not my game, but a friend is developing a card-based game on top of the Löve engine: https://berru-dev.itch.io/regicide

Promises:
- Permadeath, permagame. A real roguelike mechanic for a real challenge. If you're smart you can beat the game on your first try. No grinding. No unlocking new stuff making the game easier. Your only chance to win is to get better.
- First class Linux support.
- Community driven. Follow the development on twitch. Leave feedback, influence the game. If you can reach us you will be answered. Comment here (on itch.io) or beat the demo to find the contact address, if you can.

Features:
- Overthrow monarchy, kill kings, queens, princes and princess.
- Innovating card stacking mechanic.
- Deck building : build a different deck on each run. Nobody has time to learn all the cards on their first game.
