  • I'd just like to get back the time I spent installing the strong cypher pack for Java 7.

  • Yeah, that worked beautifully the last time they did it. At the time it was encryption tech and the result was millions of apps with weak cyphers by default.

  • I have over 700 games waiting on Steam, over 300 on Heroic... I'm not buying any other game until I get that backlog down.

  • Thank you for mentioning what it is/does. Too many announcements I see don't do that.

  • Yep, Zip drives only had 100MB, the disks were clunky and were prone to get the Click of Death (not that LS-120 disks were any better in that sense, of course).

  • I've never encountered another LS-120 user before. When it came out I assumed it would be the future, because 120 megabyte freaking laser assisted floppy, am I right? Turns out I was very much mistaken, and CD-R took over.

    I also made the same mistake regarding CF vs SD cards.

  • Playing some smaller, chill games: The Unfinished Swan and Sludge Life.

  • Got married very young, got a crazy wife, had a bunch of kids, divorced, migrated, worked hard, became a decent person in the process and is now a grandfather. I still meet him occasionally and he's a fun guy to be around of.

  • Heroic launcher. This is what you need, my friend.

  • You're probably right, I get triggered when the blame is assigned to the wrong people.

    It's Nvidia's fault for not caring about their customers, and it's the customers fault for buying their products and not shouting at the vendor for poor user support.

  • The awesome people who volunteer their time to bring you the free operating system that you're whining about would love to support your card, and in fact do so despite the best efforts of the vendor to be a complete ass and ignore their Linux customers.

  • Same, Manjaro with kernel 6.6.65, all AMD Thinkpad E14 Gen 3.

  • Scroll down and keep the endorphins flowing.

  • I focus on the playability and addictiveness of the game; you focus on the immersiveness and photo-realism of the experience.

    That does not make either of us right or wrong, we're just weighing different aspects differently.

  • As someone who grew up when you could physically count the bloody pixels on the screen, this whining about a miserable invisible miniscule artifact makes me palmface very hard.

  • Why does loving something automatically imply hating something else?

    It's about choice. You can use Cinnamon today and switch to Gnome, KDE, XFCE or whatever desktop you feel like using tomorrow and your apps will still work.

    It's all good software, made available to you for free. Drop the hate.

  • Over 700 hours in Skyrim. I don't know how that happened as it's not my usual game type. I usually go for shooters like Half-life or Serious Sam,b or puzzles like Portal or Talos Principle.

  • I'd argue that the skills required to work in the videogame industry are easily repurposed for other IT or creative jobs.

  • True. If you get yourself an interesting skill set, either your employer will pay accordingly or you won't have difficulty finding one that does.

    "Act your wage" is just a poor excuse to normalize laziness.
