I already felt like a pedantic asshole for making two corrections at once, but oh well. In for a penny, in for a pound.

The “-us” and “-i” suffix are the masculine singular/plural suffix in Latin, not Greek

your thoughts and feelings are still ruled by physical processes

If there is an unbroken chain of causality, that means that history has been written start to finish already, and my consciousness is just along for the ride. The thing is, my consciousness is locked to right now, which is a single point in this 4-D space, as are all the consciousnesses that I interact with because that’s exactly what right now is.

Until the day I interact with a consciousness that is experiencing a different point in 4-D space other than right now, it does not matter if free will truly exists because from my perspective and from all of my scientific testing so far (like deciding to pick my nose as I just did), evidence suggests that my consciousness is capable of making decisions. Even if those decisions are all a result of a deterministic path, my consciousness felt like it made them so it might as well have.

also, the word is “syllable” not “syllabus” lol

You are indeed a great understander

Soooo why do we waste any time worrying about what the AI owned by a nazi says?

For the longest time, I saw this art in Gamestop and assumed it was a game about mining and was confused as shit why it was rated M

I remember almost choking because I was laughing so hard at “Everybody Poops” and how Fergie was notorious amongst the Peas for having such horrible bowel issues.

Whenever someone references the book, I basically always follow it up (sometimes silently) with “and if you don’t you’re an android and should be destroyed”

I’m so tired of oughting to have the shit scared out of me 4 times per day

I feel like the last 30 years of Star Wars movies could qualify here

I’m not vouching for SteamOS as a permanent OS. I’m just defending the strengths of a corporation-maintained distribution of Linux as an introduction to Linux, of which I think SteamOS has many. After being introduced, I think more people will get curious about other things they can do with Linux. It’s really just that starting hump that people need to get over

Btw I appreciate the brief explanation. I was actually having trouble with that sort of thing myself on Bazzite the other day and I was curious why SteamOS differed from Fedora on some specific things.

Just like meth! :D

I love running Elden Ring in the terminal. Hells yeah, foul tarnished

That’s so disappointing to hear. DOOM and DOOM Eternal not only run fucking fantastically on the Steam Deck, but they look fucking gorgeous on it too.

I had my suspicions that Microsoft would fuck something up and now my suspicions say that this is it (and I hope this is the extent of it)

I see all of these “Why SteamOS and why not another distro?” comments and it kinda blows me away how much the idea of approachability designed by a trusted name seems like a foreign concept here.

Then again, we’re talking about Linux fanatics who probably also argue over whether emacs, vim, or vi are the best text editor lol

As someone who uses my desktop for gaming (and maybe web browsing) exclusively, and as someone mildly but not very familiar with OSes, I read this as “SteamOS is bad because of reason I personally don’t like that many people don’t understand, so do more research about Linux”

The barrier to Linux as an OS is not how good it is but how understandable it is. After Pewdiepie’s video went up I’m confident the search phrase “Linux OS download” skyrocketed in popularity because people don’t know let alone understand what a distribution is.

SteamOS is a great intro to Linux for the majority of PC gamers because it’s not only basically ready to use as soon as you boot it up, but also because it is being maintained by a team of people intent on making it the optimal PC gaming platform.

Once Windows users are introduced to a basic Linux experience why not let them take their time learning more about the variables in distros?

Maybe SteamOS is not the perfect distribution because

<list your gripes here>

Thanks. This is what I was looking for

In all honesty, Rainbow Six: Siege is as ungrindy as any game could be, and it is as endlessly replayable as there are combinations of all the active players. The whole game is about finding ways to use the deep sandbox to outsmart your opponent, utilizing yours and your teammates abilities in unique combinations and it’s wonderful

Titanfall 2

Very. It’s extremely similar to the first in many ways but has loads of improvements that refine what was already there. It’s like Borderlands 3 compared to Borderlands 2, or Arkham Knight compared to Arkham Asylum.

Additionally, the story is great, if a little bit rushed. Having not read the comics I greatly enjoyed the development of the black suit and the symbiote storyline as something relatively fresh compared to the 90’s cartoon and the Toby Maguire movies
