  • access to everything that isn't bogged down by stupid licensing deals, too. so many things just disappear because someone wants someone else to keep paying for that one song they added in a single episode 15 years ago.

  • Japan was already living in the 2000's back in the 80's. The problem is that 40 years later, they're still living and thinking in the exact same way.

  • Ah yes it's always a bug after massive community backlash. If there wasn't much, it'd have been a test, and if there wasn't any, it was always intended.

  • Now theyre just gonna try to use that as bargaining chip to get what they want. Max might be serious, but the professional shit stirrers of Red Bull do not leave any opportunities to do that untaken.

  • Welcome to CompSci university! Hope you enjoy your stay. There will be lots of maths. When I did my degree, it was my first experience with Linux too, and it was great. They eventually taught me how to install it myswlf on my laptop, and all of the student network PCs ran Debian. I later became part of the sysadmin team as my internship work, and learned a lot there. Now, 11 years later, I'm still a Linux diehard and much prefer working on it, and have been transferring my gaming over to Linux too.

  • I don't know either, and I haven't been able to use spotify_player in a while, either in my Linux or Windows machines because of that. Already ended up accidentally resetting my Spotify password 2-3 times trying to solve that.

  • The new Kex port is great for it's accessibility for new players not used to the Doom sourceports scene, but I guess there's still a few kinks to solve. I still end up preferring to play on my other sourceports (Woof! Is my favorite) but I gotta get back to it to actually finish Legacy of Rust later. At least this new port is MUCH better on the console versions now, if only the Switch version had proper access to the player uploaded addons...

    In the meantime Ive been going through Freedoom 2, and I hear people are adapting the assets of the new mapping format into an open sourced version. Looking forward to that.

  • Yes this is pretty great, these games are arguably more fun than regular Raiden but are a bit annoying to emulate.

  • The age old conundrum of the unit that may or may not be strong in real combat situations, but becomes absolutely gamebreakingly busted when added to videogames, because it's strenghts translate into overwhelming advantages with none of the real life drawbacks it had to endure, usually via game design, bad balancing or games putting said units in unrealistic situations.

    Take for example anti-aircraft guns since WW2. Other than the obvious real example of the FlaK88 being turned into an AT gun by the Germans, several others of these become anti-infantry or even anti-armor rapid firing nightmares in war games, because they're put well inside their optimal range and within threatening range of infantry and tanks. Which would usually destroy them from afar. The OTO Melara gun is a good modern example. Italian radar guided 110mm naval gun, was never mounted onto a proper line vehicle that was adopted by any country. But the prototypes, like the OTOMatic, absolutely terrorize every game where they appear, as a hyper accurate, rapid firing, high damage anti-everything gun.

    Horse archers are just the ancient ages example of that.

  • May I ask why? I'm a recent Arch user, and yay seems just fine for me so far. Haven't looked into paru much yet. Is it because it's made on Rust, or are there more/better features?

  • Oh shit thanks, I was literally thinking about options for that earlier today. I've been playing a lot of Gamma lately, and I've been thinking about how to transition my gaming PC to Linux. I have SO MUCH old and esoteric shit installed that I'd have to figure out.

  • I've been thinking the same thing lately, and based on my recent Linux usage on my other machines, I would probably pick something Fedora based with KDE. I've been using Arch on my "work" laptop and it's been really fine and fun, but also a LOT of work (especially when I break something myself). Having a ton of very up to date packages to install, plus the AUR and Flatpaks to shore up anything that might be missing makes for a very "compatible" system. And of course, the freedom and courage to set it up just exactly the way I want.

    I used Linux Mint for several years, it's the one I can say I'm most comfortable with. If I had to set up another low power laptop or a computer for a family member I'd either use that or MX Linux. They just don't break. I have also tried Fedora for a short time, and it made me start liking KDE Plasma, and it was honestly the easiest one to set up for Steam out of the box. And it had more in variety and more up to date packages than Mint, and also easily augmentable with Flatpaks for what's missing. OpenSUSE was similar, but the package manager was excruciatingly slow, and there were no good mirrors for fast downloads, dropped that very quickly.

    Although, overall from your past experience in the post and other responses in the thread, I think you'll do just fine with Kubuntu. You're already plenty familiar with how to use it and how to set it up the way you need it to. I've been considering Nobara for my gaming PC as basically a better Fedora, but I'm afraid of projects with so few people taking care of them fizzling out in a couple years, and it's not as simple as just replacing it with base Fedora if that happens. So yeah, my personal choices would be Arch, Mint or Fedora. But my case is not the same as yours.

  • Why is anyone susprised about this? This is the most predictable outcome.

    Then again, you'd probably already have a jailbroken PS1 to play copied games, you could burn them yourself. Or emulate, it's so easy to emulate PS1 nowadays. No need to spend money importing those copies from China.

  • Ahhh, true freedom!

  • Not on my Arch laptop, no. That one has an AMD Radeon card. My gaming PC has NVidia but I haven't tried it there yet.

  • Yeah you are correct in assuming that NVidia drivers do not play well with Wayland. It's on NVidia's side to unfuck their drivers, which they haven't in a while already. I think there's open source drivers that work better for that? Think they're called nouveau, look that up. Might even be related to your gaming problems.

  • Fencers, the heavy exoskeleton class of the EDF games, starts out as a civilian human forklift. Don't let your memes be dreams.

  • FromSoftware, 100%. From the days of Armored Core to all the Souls games.

  • Well, over the past week I finished my second full Hard run of EDF6 with a modded class, and I updated several mods on other games. Got the updated Shutoko Revival Project on Assetto Corsa, the new Gran Turismo 4 Spec II, which I'm enjoying a lot, feels like a new game. And the Dawn of War Unification team pushed out a minor patch for the 20th anniversary of the series. I am also considering upgrading my old build of STALKER Gamma from late last year to the current one. My setup is working but they added a lot of new things since then that I want to check out, like new early game guns.

  • Great drive by Nando Lorris, converted a pole position start finally! Colapinto had a great race until the pit stop sent him into the midfield blackhole, he could have gotten points today. I missed Leclerc overtaking Hamilton, guess the Ferrari got better as the race went on.
