I use mine for a VPS running Ubuntu. It let's me mess around with stuff and also let's me host things like discord bots without needing a local pc always running.

My VPS is pretty cheap, something like 10 bucks a month so it's worth it for me.

Too bad there wasn't an open source alternative that he could provide lots of funding for... Oh wait there is.

Hopefully they're Family to help with the victim queues, my friends pretty much stopped playing victim because it takes so long to find a match.

Whew, I heard from a friend it was going that way. The Devs say in the article that they just meant it would recieve occasional content updates like they did with with the first game in their early access model.

They confirmed that it will not have any subscriptions, or battle passes or anything which is great. They also mention that while coop will be possible, it won't be required to play the game, and you can still experience everything single player.

Glad to hear they haven't joined the dark side yet!

I'm glad he's back to making regular videos, I find them very relaxing and a bit educational (just make sure to turn on captions, he puts all the explanations there).

I personally think we are going to need to move to a hybrid capitalist situation before we can hope to move past it. It will be very hard for countries to make a switch away, as it will prevent them from really existing in the global market, or force the governments to hold all the cash so they can still partake.

I think the direction some places are taking with basic or universal income is one of the most promising steps away I've heard about recently. It allows for a sort of sudo communism within the bounds of a capitalist society by ensuring all have the same basic access to resources. Obviously there are plenty of caveats with the implementations so far, such as who gets it, how much is it, can it cover basic living, etc. But I think it represents what I'm getting at.

If we can continue to implement meaningful social programs such as free and accessible healthcare, basic incomes, shortened work weeks, minimum wages, etc, etc it is continued progress towards a world where money becomes increasingly meaningless as everyone has what they need and only need to work for the extras.

Just my two cents from someone with absolutely no background in the relevant fields :)

But, we did straighten the leaning tower. It was leaning too far and in threat of collapsing so we spent a huge amount of resources straightening it just enough it wouldn't fall.

In terms of multiplayer games with friends, we've been playing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Family, not a fan of victim). Also booted back up Golf with Friends for the first time in a few years and we've been having a blast.

For single player I recently started Astroneer which I've been loving! Really digging the terraforming and resource gather dynamics of the game.
