I don't forgive you.

It is okay that things die. Death is okay and you should accept it instead of trying to cheat it.

As if a 30 year old cat could live like a cat is "supposed" to.

Mocking someones appearance is like dropping a bomb. You might hit your target but this shit has a radius and so you might also hit innocent people.

People who might be already hurting and are insecure. And hurting those people because you are not clever enough to come up with something precise is weak.

Words

Are you also critical of independent media?

PC gaming wiki?

After he failed to be a pickup artist.

Tell him. If it comes from the good kid he must think there is some truth to it.

If you have a blog where you talk about that, I would like to read it.

In fact my issue was with neither. As it turns out the game does not have cloud saves enabled. Other games sync.

Is it cap because of capslock or what is the origin?

No cap seems to mean "no lie". So it maybe means "I swear to god, you are talking shit right now for real". Bit I don't know.

It is a tough sale for sure.

I am trying to transition to Linux but there are a bunch of hurdles.

For example I installed fedora KDE spin in dual boot on my desktop. Then I installed steam as a flatpak and pointed it to my already installed game. Didn't work because of some permissions I didn't understand how to configure with flatseal.

Alright then noted I need to learn that shit but now I want to play a game so I uninstalled the steam flatpak and installed the steam package from the fedora repo. Checked the boxes in the packagemanager-gui (discovery) for nonfree steam and nonfree nvidia drivers, pointed to the library and it worked.

Great! Updated the games and downloaded the saves. So far so good. But after all that I had no time to play anymore because i had to look up a bunch of stuff to understand that I don't understand enough to make it work the way I tried.

I took my laptop with me which also has fedora KDE on it. When I had a little time I thought "hey maybe I can play a bit of moonring. After all I now know how to get steam running".

So I downloaded steam from the fedora repo, Logged in, downloaded moonring and... No save sync.

I go into settings and see that cloud save is enabled. Start a game maybe that triggers it? Nope.

It doesn't even say that sync failed or something like that beside the start button.

Okay so off to the web search. But as that gets more fucked by the minute I just get some problem adjacent stuff.

Like: "how to install steam on fedora". I already installed it, why isn't the cloud working? "Maybe it is because the path for savefiles is casesensitive?". Maybe but what am I supposed to do about it? And so on. So I closed my laptop with a bad taste in my mouth.

It is just frustrating to have to understand a bunch of shit you are not interested in just so that something works which worked before without a problem.

The world is just to complex and fast moving to understand everything and to retain everything. That's why we are an expert society. "I invest my time to understand this stuff really good and you invest your time to understand this and in the end we exchange our labor".

And that's the "problem" with Linux, that you have invest time into it. And people mostly don't have the time because they have lifes beside the PC.

Must be about the last season.

As the point of soulslikes is to overcome challenge, looking for something beginner friendly or easy is, in my opinion, not the right approach.

Play the fromsoft games in chronological order and skip the numbers entries if you are not interested in the stories.

So: Deamon's souls -> dark souls -> bloodborne -> sekiro -> elden ring

Dark souls 2 wasn't that great and has a lot of issues but it tried new stuff which I respect. Still wouldn't recommend it.

Dark souls 3 was darks souls best of which made it a disappointment for me. You kinda know what will happen next and there wasn't that much mystery because of that.

I tried two times to play but only had offline mode available to me. A shame because i was in the mood for a smash bros knockoff.

Of course I did. I just didn't made the connection that they where the reason for me not getting into bios.

I had the same problem on my laptop not being able to get into the bios. Turns out the reason is that the f-keys (f-1 to f-12) where not registered as such on boot.

They are also the keys for volume and brightness etc. So when I pressed f-11 on boot it registered it as "Brightness up" and not "f-11".

The solution was to press "fn" + "f-11". Then it registered as the correct key.

You have the option to toggle the default on that. So that you press f-11 and it registers it as such and "brightness up" is "fn" + "f-11).

For me that toggle was "fn" + "esc". There also was a lock symbol on ESC so if ESC doesn't work search for the key which has a lock on it.

That toggle was also an option in the bios.

So yeah, wasted an embarrassing amount of time figuring that out.

You learn by using it.

Which means you want to do something on Linux. You don't know how to do it, then you ask or search for the answer and then you know.

Just be patient and it will come naturally.

Now you see me and now you sequel.
