SimpleX is great, but it needs to mature a little in regards to usability. The desktop app is abysmally slow, and the amount of memory it uses really needs to be trimmed down. If they manage to streamline these two things, I could see SimpleX becoming quite popular. I’m definitely keeping an eye on it.

I’d love to try The Outer Worlds! =)

Signal would be the best choice, imho. Next best would be SimpleX for android or iOS. The desktop version is currently not great.

They can’t scan chats that don’t exist. Time to make a switch, folks!

Another vote for Mullvad, here. It’s arguably one of the best VPNs out there and at 5 bucks a month, you really can’t go wrong. If you want cheaper than that, you have bigger problems than a VPN.

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘hard to load’. You find the model you want, you download it, then load it up to chat. What’s the issue you’re having?

I found this and actually like it better than Alpaca. Your mileage may vary, but they claim that it’s 100% private, no internet necessary:

I’m sorry you feel that way. I’m afraid I disagree, but I respect your opinion.

I dunno. Doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, but your mileage may certainly vary.

Why is this news??

It’s not a shooter, but Enshrouded is insanely fun and you can play with up to 16 people at once.

I usually just browse [https://flathub.org/]. I’ve found more than a few great projects this way.

If the sheer scope and imagination of No Man’s Sky is any indication, this game is going to be every bit as ground-breaking and something truly special. I cannot wait. I just can’t. :)

Baldur’s Gate 3 is absolutely fantastic. You owe it to yourself to play this game.

Ooh, nice! You’ll have to let me know how it works out!

I’ve toyed with the idea of converting Shadowrun to Monte Cook’s Cypher System. Wonder how that might work… strokes beard

I absolutely love the setting of Shadowrun, but have never had the opportunity to play. As for running a game myself, I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about how crunchy and complicated the system is, and that has been enough to keep me from trying to run a game myself. :P

To be fair, Matrix has been around a lot longer than Revolt. I remember the early days with Riot - and it was absolutely horrendous. Give Revolt some time, and I think it will improve quite a bit.

Maybe this will help?
