  • Its presentation might seem dated now (especially compared to the ones you listed), but Morrowind was the first game that really sucked me into its world. It was also the first open-world RPG that I had played, so I was extra blown away by how new that was. Even without that novelty, though, I think it does a great job of presenting an interesting world with multiple stories playing out in it.

    It also isn’t voice acted…you’ll be reading a lot of dialog. I almost like it more that way, though. Some of the characters have a lot more to say than they do in Oblivion or Skyrim, probably because they didn’t have to record anything with voice actors.

    The Batman: Arkham series also has a great story going for it. It really makes you feel like you are reading a DC comic book.


  • Yeah, the CEO of Kagi being hyped about AI made me worried about its future as well. I think you can disable all of that, but I want a search engine that is being built by people whose goal is to help me find things that real people, and real people only, have written.

    With a paid search engine, it’s hard to see a way around the problem of needing an account, unfortunately. Maybe it could just be an API key? Mullvad VPN does something like that. You have no username or password, just a long ID that you need to keep secret. And they are disposable – you can just stop using it and buy a different API key next month.


  • Eventually, a subscription-based tier that removes all advertisements completely for those who prefer an entirely ad-free experience.

    When I first heard about Kagi, I thought that paying for a search engine was crazy. Now that I’ve had a few months to think about it, I would absolutely pay for a search engine. It’s literally the most useful type of service on the internet, and it’d be a great, user-oriented way of supporting Waterfox. (Plus, every other search engine is enshittifying so freaking fast nowadays.)

    Waterfox Search worked well for me this morning. Results were what I was looking for, and were literally no different from DuckDuckGo, Google, or Bing. It does seem to be down right now, though. Hopefully that’s because everyone was so eager to try it out. :)


  • I use wallabag.it for this. I don’t actually self host it, I’ve been a paying subscriber to the maintainer’s hosted service for a few years now and I’ve had no complaints. It hasn’t had many new features lately, but it does do what I want it to.

    It doesn’t capture comments in fediverse threads (see here: https://app.wallabag.it/share/6813d1f1616096.02317152 ), and there are some websites where it doesn’t detect the contents of the article, but it does work the vast majority of the time.

    I’m not sure what you could do about a Nextcloud integration. You can export articles as epubs and pdfs; I’ve done that a few times and put the exported files on my Nextcloud server. But there are also a bunch of wallabag apps for your different devices, which is what I use to read articles on those devices.

    edit: Oh, I forgot to add that you can generate an RSS feed of your unread articles. So that could be added to Nextcloud’s RSS reader.
