Mount and Blade: Warband has multiple incredible total conversions. I've dumped a lot of time into Prophecy of Pendor and The Last Days, probably more than the base game.

For actually free games there are so many options that it really comes down to taste. Unciv is a fantastic reimplementation of Civ 5. Super Auto Pets is a fun casual auto battler. HoloCure is a really good Vampire Survivors-style game themed after Hololive vtubers. There are tons of MMOs and shooters that are F2P and good, but I know most of those from hearsay rather than experience.

Unciv works perfectly fine on a phone if you feel like risking significant amounts of your time (:

This is how I do it. I may never stop actually having that gmail account in use due to the number of accounts tied to it, but I at least can use other services going forward without losing tons of stuff.

Honestly, it's halfway correct, if I need to go into the office I'd rather be able to interact with people IRL. Most of my work unit tries to be there on Mondays for that reason.

The caveats are that I'd still rather not be there at all and that our office sucks so most people are at least as effective at home anyways.

Nord Light was also pretty good when I tried it. I waffle back and forth between light and dark themes now and then and there's always a few good options that brighten the space without flashbanging you.

My most direct use of fzf is to search large result sets for something I can't 100% remember the name or location of, so this actually sounds nice. I've managed to get fzf to slow down a few times and... well, I'm sure as hell not organizing that folder structure.

There's been some controversy around the governance structure and culture with NixOS that has a number of people unhappy. I'm honestly not sure of the details but it's ptesumably less about the software than the people.

I only played a few hours of Dome Keeper but it was quite a bit of fun. There's already a fair amount of variety possible in the runs but not so much that this isn't appreciated.

Considering there seems to be minimal changes to the game and the graphics honestly didn't need any updates beyond what the GameCube could put out, I am still unreasonably excited for this game. I played the everliving fuck out of TTYD through my teens. Tempted to mess around with a danger Mario build for the first time in more than a decade.

I'm curious to see where they go next. A lot of modern consumer electronics have repairability and upgradeability problems, but I also wouldn't expect they'd be able to crack into the phone market as easily as the laptop market, so presumably there's some more niche target they have.

Framework is a private company so they need to agree to be bought. I don't know enough about the leadership to be able to say the likelihood of accepting an offer, but it's not just a thing that automatically happens because Dell has a lot of money.

As a wee lad I rented it a few times. I never actually figured out how to play it, I just ran around and died but I liked the vibe of it.
