That's what EU is for (in Europe), but honestly, even as an avid gamer, there are other priorities, even in the IT/digital department (european alternatives, open source, research, ...), so as of now I keep voting with my wallet

You mean Trump is offering tourists to Canada and Europe, for free ?

Aww, and I thought he was just a big dumb meanie

Even on Windows I'm scared to update them

Last time I did (a year ago) I had a performance drop and had to rollback

Displaying a swastika or other human horrors in a video/artwork doesn't mean you're promoting it (maybe it was in your example)

It's indeed a genre where you need to do some background check

But you can find Black Metal bands that hate all humans equally

Also when I see a Black Metal band with "wolf" in its name

I'd suggest Helldivers 2, Darktide or Vermintide 2, World War Z

I haven't played Space Marines 2 (yet) but it's definitely on our backlog with some friends

Dying Light is good fun too in coop

The first Witcher game is quite old but you could like the gameplay (it's not action oriented, unlike the 2 following Witcher games)

It's honestly not great looking but the story is great, and who knows, you might fall in love with a great franchise :)

I'll second Dragon Age since it's less action oriented than Mass Effect (which is great but OP seems more interested in strategy/management than shooting)

Mass Effect has a "tactical pause" feature though, but it feels less Baldur-like :)

That's word for word what some friends and I always say when we go kayaking

Except it's about cormorans instead of dolphins, they're legion where we are and come and go inside and outside of the water

We're never getting TES VI, right ?

What about Underworld ?

Is it signed by Donaldus Trumpei ?

Well, no offense but getting away from Apple should be a great first step to fossify your digital life :)

I just use emails with my friends who are on Whatsapp

One of them migrated from Gmail to Protonmail so maybe he could help move to a "non GAFAM" environment

The SpamBlocker I was refering to is on Android (f-droid), I'm not sure about iOS

I only used Discord with a bunch of friends I play with, no "official game servers" so it was pretty easy

The hard task will be to have some other non-gaming friends to join, because they use Whatsapp (which me and my gaming friends refuse to touch)

AntennaPod is a pretty great podcast player, far better than the one Google did (and abandonned)

Newsblur is the only RSS reader that I've found that can apply filters to feeds

I've switched from Discord to Element with some friends for daily text chat and vocal chat (video games) and it's less cluttered than Discord, and the voice even sounds better

SpamBlocker is a better phone/SMS spam filter than the proprietary ones I've tried

Firefox (and forks) has been my browser for more than 20 years, I can't go back to proprietary ones
