alias gimmie-dat-new-new='sudo dnf upgrade -y'

Although you should probably look over your upgrade before applying it as a general good practice. But, hey, I do this myself (dnfup instead of gimmie-dat-etc.), so I can't talk too much shit.

ETA: If you want it to be a persistent alias, though, you gotta add it to your .bashrc

I mean, that's my plan.

I've been playing Terraria since June of 2011. It. Is. Awesome. Possibly my favorite game of all time. I knew the devs were awesome too, and I'm not surprised to see this.

If you don't own it, I promise Terraria is worth both your time and the 10$USD. Plus, you'll be supporting a kick ass team!

If you don't like a post, ignore it. If you feel like the community is missing a conversation, start it. Winging about what other people want to talk about is pointless.

This looks neat, and I'm going to try it out, but does anyone else think that putting RSS and podcast capability into a note taking app is a bit random?

I feel you. Warmux was really neat. Sadly, it never got as much development as Hedgewars, even though the mascot theme was really cool. AFAIK, Warmux has been inactive (or at least extremely slow) for years, while Hedgewars has been thriving.

Battle for Wesnoth

This one never gets the love it deserves. It's a fantastic turn based strategy game with multiple campaigns and storylines, multiplayer, and campaign design tools. It's an old project (started in 2003, IIRC), but it's still fantastic

Hedgewars

Basically, this is Worms but with adorable little hedgehogs instead of, well, worms. Single player is okay, and it has online multiplayer I guess, but the real fun (just like in Worms) is local multiplayer. Also, it has Portal Guns. There's really no downside to this one.

Re-volt io and RVGL

This one's a little iffy. Re-volt was a fantastic R / C racing game with bright graphics, fun tracks, excellent controls, and a killer soundtrack. For good or ill, it was put out by Acclaim, which self destructed in 2004. The Re-volt fan community, however, doesn't know the meaning of the word "quit."

Nowadays, you can join a lively community with regular online tournaments of the game. There's a new cross platform engine called RVGL (that's Re Volt Game Launcher), and metric tonnes of mods and fan content. You still need the original game's assets, though, which is where it's dicey; they're technically abandonware not open source, unless I'm mistaken.

Anyway, links!

Unciv

This project's aim is to be Civilization V, but with more abstract visuals, and, or course, free. In short, it's FreeCiv, but Civ V instead of II and a UI from the 2020s rather than the 80s. (Not throwing shade here; FreeCiv is an amazing project that is exactly what it wants to be!)

If that's not enough to keep ya' happy, I know a few more, but they've mostly been covered by other folks here.

Edit: formatting

I don't think anyone was suggesting NixOS, just the Nix package manager and repository, which will work on any distro. There's still a bit of a learning curve, but it's not as steep.
