@subm3rge "By making a personal computer impossibly expensive to build or own, the base for FOSS erodes quickly. If all available compute is only by cloud supplied services, then any and all development will be beholden to the platform owner."

You're not wrong on the assertion, I believe, but there is a subtlety about this:

Home Compute aside of, say, power #gaming and edge #AI, is perfectly viable on FOSS-driven hardware from 2010 or so, no need for *new* stuff at all.

As someone who grew up with the Mass Effect series and has held a lifetime of disappointment at Mass Effect 2 being censored (not just in terms of nudity but queer romance options being axed as well), it is cool seeing games like BG3 where you just get, like. Straight up queer porn for the romance scenes. Sex is beautiful and integral to many people's queer experiences and queer sex *should* be celebrated and openly depicted.

Starship combat with #Manticore is also much more difficult than #ExtremeMode

Imagine, if you will, the total insanity of taking on a large incoming #Watchtower fleet with Manticore. I just splashed 26 ships in a mindbending 3D dogfight, with the hostiles using that extra dimension almost as well as I do, while being a lot tougher. I had to stay ahead of their fire and shake off missile lock immediately, looping in and through and around them to keep out of the crossfire, because (as I learned very early in trying Manticore) once shields are broken the ship is trashed after 1–3 hits.

It’s asymmetric warfare all the way, without any clear advantage to exploit but your own wits during daredevil maneuvers. You can’t adopt a brute force approach, because you can only have a max of 9 fleet ships so Watchtower will always have you outnumbered; since the Vanilla game only allows you to own 10 ships at a time, that’s where the mod caps it too (even with mods like #Darkstar installed that increase your owned fleet capacity IIRC).
