Hello do you guys know a free game to just chill with my friend.
I don't think there's much in terms of managerial/4x f2p games (afaik)...closest thing that comes to mind would be The Battle for Wesnoth which I wouldn't recommend for "turning off" your brain.

What is your favorite open source Linux game? Mine is Wideland (Best way to describe is the way Settlers 3 should have been)
I used to love tactical RPGs, but as I've aged I don't have the patience for them. I really wanted to play Battle of Wesnoth (https://www.wesnoth.org/), but it was not to be. Then I found this gem and it scratched my space sim itch, https://endless-sky.github.io/.

Ask HN: Favourite Open Source Game?
A Dark Room - https://github.com/doublespeakgames/adarkroom
I actually added a JS audio engine to play sound effects, ambience, etc. and it made it into the official browser version of the game.

Newbie to programming, was checking out the github repo for A Dark Room and have a question with likely a painfully obvious answer.
Looking at the files, one of the first files is a browserwarning.html. My question is: in what section of the game's coding is the browser even checked and that page spun out as a result? My suspicion is that it's a Javascript function, but skimming through the scripts I don't see anything that looks like a browser check.
