    Been thinking like this myself recently.

    Steam reviews and only possibly, in only very rare cases, although disappointingly-often not - YouTube video reviews, can be a good source.

    The idea is… to not to listen to people who don’t play games the way you do.

    A friend, potentially a random Steam user, a Reddi- Lemm- ahem, sorry, a… social media user, a… person who has played the game in question thoroughly and pointed out what they liked - and you know they’re like you, …and they played for similar reasons as you; these are the people to listen to. People who play games, like yourself.

    Only they can tell you if the game is totally worth your own time!

    I’m unfortunately not aware.

    What I do know is that D-Bus (and not “DBus”) apparently doesn’t work with MIME types directly. I may have been misinformed here - but this is some information I have received.

    Essentially, the data sent cannot be assigned a type or format.

    On the web, all data sent by a server has a MIME type (“text/html”, “image/png”, “video/mp4”).

    Android’s system for inter-process (“running program”) communication, intents, does include.
    …Even Windows does, with its whatever complicated APIs.
    D-Bus doesn’t, so Tuxes too, don’t. …Yet.

    D-Bus is apparently also not secure enough. Probably not as bad as X11, but not good enough.

    So far, KDE and GNOME have had their own " wrapper" systems to allow using D-Bus through a layer of their code to cover little inconveniences like this.
