No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.
That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

good, but maybe it's too little too late ? but still, competition is always a good thing to have
Better late than never. Heroic does a very good job for me, but we will see what the new GOG era can deliver.
Not ever too late. They offer a lot of good products for dirt cheap. Don't give up on Gog just because everyone is on the steam dick (myself included). The best part is you own your game from GOG. They give you full offline never online installers for all the games on here.
No such thing. Every time in my life I didn't do something because I thought it was too late I was wrong. Time marches on and on and on and on and new people become sentient every day. Linux's user base may be the largest it's ever been but its growth potential is substantially larger, and a native client lowers the barrier to entry.
waiting till the next morning to give someone their epipen seems like a too late situation.
Some situations work themselves out if you wait long enough.
