Hey, what’s your favorite non-enshittified apps and/or app developer?
Here are some of mine starting with Audio Hijack which lets me record audio from apps (I also use some of Rogue Amoeba’s other apps too)

Finally gonna give this a shot since Epic's giving it away.
Also, The Outer Worlds is pretty good. Think I got the "next gen" version with DLC for free a while ago too. Look forward to playing the sequel, eventually.

While discourse surrounding them was all over the place, my main disappointment with the Tomb Raider remasters was that there was no mod tool releases.
Thankfully, the community have stepped up to create a new TR engine of equivalent quality, and a new generation of levels & fangames are being made

Ah, interesting - they're doing a slightly polished up re-release of the original Guild Wars (with all expansions built in) - out in a couple weeks for $20.
Always good to see legacy games like this getting some love. Especially as there's still nothing like the OG Guild Wars. One of a kind game.

Very sad about the Bloodlines 2 reviews. TBH I lost hope years ago, though. Once the original vision and team were thrown out, I had a gut feeling it was gonna be bad or cancelled and, well, here we are…

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.
There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.
Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

This concept sounds interesting, so of course it would never actually come to fruition. Ubisoft exerting real LOSER behavior as always.
SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan
Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Instead of spending $360 for one year of GamePass Ultimate you could buy a PS2, the Xenosaga trilogy and a 12 pack of Dr. Pepper. If you're lucky you'll see a CRT by a trashcan on your way back from the store and then you'll be set.

So Xbox has their lazy ASUS-made handheld drop and right after kills PC Game Pass while jacking the price from $20 to $30/m? Do I have that right?
