I could see it working as Too Loud Didn’t Watch, like when those idiotic YouTube meme videos crank up the volume until it’s distorted for “comedic effect.”

Canada, for one.

Or from a country where an IP address does not equal a person in the eyes of the law, and therefore you cannot be charged for copyright infringement based on IP address alone.

Man, you must be a real hit at parties.

It’s for kids. The references and any other things that would fly over kids’ heads were put there so adults watching with their children wouldn’t be bored out of their minds. It was something they could relate to, and even if it wasn’t intended for them they could still at least get some kind of entertainment out of it.

Starfield, Diablo 4, and Tears of the Kingdom for me.

Starfield was a hard pass at 30FPS on my Series X. But also, the gameplay and story just didn’t interest me at all.

Diablo 4 was monotonous. Grinding for hours to get a percentage of a percentage increase on gear was not fun. I’ve played every other Diablo game along with numerous other action RPGs of that style, but D4 is a snorefest. It’s frustrating being chain stunned by all the crowd control, it’s frustrating that a lot of enemies have a lot of health for no reason, and it’s bland when you face the same few bosses over and over again. It wasn’t so bad in the other Diablo games because you could just nuke the bosses, but in D4 each one is a straight up chore to kill.

Tears of the Kingdom… it’s a fun action adventure game, but if it has The Legend of Zelda on it, it needs to be held to The Legend of Zelda standards. And it, just like Breath of the Wild, is an awful Zelda game. If it didn’t have LoZ on it, I’d probably rate it much higher.

That’s fine, I’ll install the open source App Store that replicates the functionality of those apps without the bullshit (or straight up has modified versions that remove that garbage).

I was just a tech-obsessed teenager who thought it seemed cool. Messed around with it but since gaming was a pain in the ass I shelved it and went to Windows. Eventually administering Linux systems became my career.

Windows 11 is hot garbage. I haven’t had anything outright break, but with my hardware my machine should not be as slow as it is. Installed Ubuntu since it’s what I messed around with as a teenager and here we are.

However, now that gaming is even relatively painless in Linux, it’s here to stay on my personal desktop. A couple tools still require a Windows install but 90% of my usage is Linux and I don’t see that changing any time soon.

EDIT: I wouldn’t say I’m an evangel or anything. I don’t preach Linux to people, nor would I want to get my friends and family into it. The last thing I want to do is troubleshoot their botched install because they fucked around with system files and broke something.

I wouldn’t really say I’m obsessed either, it’s an OS. It allows me to actually do the things I want to do, and quickly. I enjoy it but I don’t plan on distro hopping, making low level tweaks, or anything. It just works and lets me work and play games. That’s good enough for me.

Game Maker is still only in beta for Linux. They warn against working on serious projects on it because it can just randomly break them.

You know what? Ubuntu. There I said it.

I’ve been using it since 2007 - 7.04 was my first foray into Linux ever. At present day it’s been the most “it just works” distro for me. I installed it and… that’s it. Everything just worked.

I don’t care about the “ads” in the terminal. I don’t care that it’s “bloated” (even the most bloated distro is less bloated than Windows).

If a company is porting their software to Linux, chances are they’re focusing on Ubuntu. Not Debian. Not Mint. Ubuntu.

If something isn’t working, chances are there’s a community post about it with a working solution.

It’s cool that distro hopping is a hobby for a lot of people. It isn’t for me. I want no bullshit, just set it up and let it work so I can focus on doing stuff within the OS, not setting up and fine tuning the OS itself day in and day out. And for me that’s Ubuntu.

I know you think you’re being quirky with that writing style, but all it does is make me want to stop reading.

Revolver Ocelot

I voted for him because I actually agreed with his platform. I thought it would be in the best interest of Canadians - and then he got elected. Did some things that he promised, sure, and he handled steering us through Covid better than a lot of countries out there. But I couldn’t in good conscience re-elect him. Identity politics make a mockery of our political system, but every politician is doing it these days. Our economy is in the shitter, housing too because our economy relies on housing, and while he’s doing something about it it’s not enough.

Ah yes, each more sold out than the last.

No. Dine upon the flesh of the rich. Consume their nutrients so that you may absorb their power.

And with a very specific weapon that has limited range, and other weapon pickups show up along the way. Grab one, you're screwed.

Oh, so that's what it's like to access trauma-blocked memories from ages ago. Thanks OP.

Wow. Amateur hour over here. There's a much easier way to write this.

A case select:

    
select(number){
    case 1:
        return false;
    case 2:
        return true;
}

  

And so on.
