Sounds fun! Here's my favorite relatively chill multiplayer games:

• ToeJam and Earl - the ultimate chill vibes game, punctuated with moments of panic, of course.
• Gunstar Heroes - marvel at the peak of 16 bit graphics, blow up badguy robots, find cool gun combinations, repeat
• Cyborg Justice - incredibly steep learning curve, but a chill repetitive gameplay loop with lots of interesting mechanics to discover
• Battletoads vs Double Dragon - Probably the best brawler, with lots of interesting twists in gameplay mechanics. But starting with 3 lives is unfair - use the Konami code for a chance to see the whole game.

Now I'm going to hum the DS9 credits to myself every time I walk into a Buc-ees.

Would it be enough to be able to run .deb packages on fedora?

Unpacking a .deb on Fedora, or unpacking an .rpm on Ubuntu isn't a big deal. The files inside are often actually identical.

But would not be useful because the files inside usually rely on shared libraries, which may or may not already be installed. Those shared libraries are installed in different places on each Linux distro. Figuring out which ones to ask for (and making sure the program can find them) is the real work that the .Deb or .RPM installers do.

A fun way to try this out is with Portable Apps. Anything called a "portable app" either doesn't use additional libraries, or carries the libraries it needs with it.

If you find a portable app for Ubunutu, there's a good chance the Fedora version is an identical file, and works fine on Ubuntu. There's lots of reasons it might not work, but it can be fun to try.

For the most part, the only reason any Linux program is unavailable on a different version of Linux is that no one has bothered to build the necessary installer for that combination of program and OS.

.RPM was supposed to solve this by being universal, since any other OS can implement it to match .Deb was supposed to solve this by being universal, since any other OS can implement it to match (about 60% actually do). I think Flatpacks and Snaps might solve this by being universal, at some point...

Source: I've built installer packages for various operating systems.

Oh cool. I'll do some research. Maybe I can pull mine out of storage and enjoy it, then. Thanks!

Yeah. I thought we all agreed that we don't fucking swear here. What the fuck...Shit. Darn-it. /s

I will not go!

But now it's supposedly because I'm old and not because kids are fucking stupid.

As the saying goes, two things can be true! 😆

Source: Am old, and but I've thought kids are stupid since I was a kid, myself.

I'm looking into emulation for 360, myself, because I know that actually running my 360 is a timer counting down to the red ring of death.

Nice. Now I want to do one:

"Is this going anywhere... - Oh shit, this is fun!"

Yeah. It gives very strong black mage vibes! (In the best way!)

Harsh.

But the Nomad was friggin cool, so it probably balances out.

"Doing Work Outside of Work is Fucking Stupid"

Lol. Welcome to the "over it, it's a job now" club.

I still code for fun, myself, but certainly not to someone else's spec. Even if it's holiday themed.

I saved the most time, because I not only don't do advent of X challenges, but I also don't blog about not doing them.

Until I wrote this reply. I really fucked up my streak just now.

A pocket sized Switch, supporting the current library of Switch games, would be a must buy, for me. Especially if it folds to protect it's own screen.

If it comes out and doesn't leverage my existing game library, I'll probably just keep buying games for my HyoerMegaTech Pocket, instead.

That's awesome. Brennan has earned the right to be the DM approves meme.

Now I want someone to make a reality show where they seat people in an airplane "sidecar" that's barely attached, and record their reactions.

We could form a support group. Maybe the least healthy support group in history, but a support gro up.

In all these replies, this one actually made me wince in pain. I guess I had cleared the term AJAX from my memories.

Yeah. I consider it important to maintain a healthy agnosticism about the possibility of heaven. It's dangerous to wait to start living as the person I want to be!

But on the topic of hell - well, I've needed to make two computers talk to eachother using the XML specification. I know that hell is very real.

the only truly unbelievable thing about the whole story is they've got a guy wearing a red suit and he doesn't die.

"I am worried that AGI (artificial general intelligence) will be hostile to humans" at less than 20%.

I'm curious how many would have agreed with "I'm aware that my current, non-AI code is already measurably hostile to humans."

AI is going to harm a lot more people before we figure out which ends of that blade is sharp.
