A series whose last entry ended with revealing infinite accessible alternate universes has nowhere left to go? Also, a series whose entire reason for existing was to be a spiritual successor to System Shock now needs its own spiritual successor? Why?

Someone made something up about you once, so now your plan is to never be introspective again for the rest of your life?

Good luck with that. I'm sure the issue in that situation was definitely how self-aware you were at the time.

I like the workflow of having a DNS record on my network for *.mydomain.com pointing to Nginx Proxy Manager, and just needing to plug in a subdomain, IP, and port whenever I spin up something new for super easy SSL. All you need is one let's encrypt wildcard cert for your domain and you're all set.

You're more likely going to get stuttering or asset streaming issues which are going to have more impact than losing a few fps.

I only use rolling releases on my desktop and have ran into enough issues with apps not working because of changes made in library updates that I'd rather they just include whatever version they're targeting at this point. Sure, that might mean they're using a less secure version, and they're less incentivized to stay on the latest version and fix those issues as they arise, but I'm also not as concerned about the security implications of that because everything is running as my unprivileged user and confined to the flatpak.

I'd rather have a less secure flatpak then need to downgrade a library to make one app I need work and then have a less secure system overall.

Making content for online is way less work and makes more money in the longrun. You don't get whales spending thousands of dollars on a single player DLC.

Definitely. I'd rather have a "good and specific reason" why your application needs to use my shared libraries or have acess to my entire filesystem by default.

IIRC from running into this same issue, this won't work the way you have the volume bind mounts set up because it will treat the movies and downloads directories as two separate file systems, which hardlinks don't work across.

If you bind mounted /media/HDD1:/media/HDD1 it should work, but then the container will have access to the entire drive. You might be able to get around that by running the container as a different user and only giving that user access to those two directories, but docker is also really inconsistent about that in my experience.

TF2 didn't even have microtransactions until 2010, and it both pretty much invented them and let you trade/sell them (albeit for steam bucks), so there are definitely worse games you could be throwing money at.

I bought the Orange Box the day it came out, and when I stopped playing TF2 a decade ago I sold all my items (which I mostly got from buying other games that I would have bought anyway), and I ended up with more steam money than I had ever actually spent on TF2 directly.

lol Japan invents the three major optical disc storage mediums that became ubiquitous and their government says fuck that and just keeps on using floppy disks

If you want Proxmox to dynamically allocate resources you'll need to use LXCs, not VMs. I don't use VMs at all anymore for this exact reason.

This post reminded me yesterday that I hadn't played the last DLC they released for it so I did the first scenario in it earlier this morning, and it's still one of the most satisfying games to solve ever. It and Return of the Obra Dinn are seriously in a league of their own.

How hard could it be to maintain a steam store page on your own? Seems like a weird reason to just completely stop taking in revenue for something you created.

I don't use game pass, but I would definitely recommend anyone that does try Neon White and The Case of the Golden Idol. I love both of those games.

I had done a few easier Linux installs on Raspberry Pis and VMs in the past, but when I decided I wanted to try using Linux as my daily driver on my desktop (dual-booted with Windows at the time) I decided to go with a manual Arch install using a guide and I would 100% recommend it if you're trying to pick up Linux knowledge. It's really not a difficult process to just follow step-by-step, but I looked up each command as they came up in the guide so I could try to understand what I was doing and why.

I don't know what packages archinstall includes because I've never used it, but really the biggest thing for me learning was booting into a barebones Arch install. Looking into the different options for components and getting everything I needed setup and configured how I wanted was invaluable.

That being said, now that I know how, is that how I would choose to install it? Nah, I use the CachyOS installer now, but if I wanted stock Arch I'd probably use archinstall.

Are you talking about Revengeance? Because Kojima was involved with that game, it just wasn't developed in-house by his studio, and it's a very good game.

The shitty Metal Gear game made without Kojima being involved was Metal Gear Survive.

RDP does not fill the same role as Teamviewer at all. The M$ alternatives would be Quick Assist or the older MSRA.

America didn't drop anything because they weren't saying it in the first place, the Soviets were. America also aren't the ones that coined a new phrase for it, British royalists were, who probably had no knowledge of the Russian phrase. All of this was explained in the article you linked.

1.it's a euphemism for "And You Are Lynching Negroes" - that's literally what people used to say instead of whataboutism

lol who do you think was saying this, and how is "whataboutism" in any way of a euphemism for it? Did you even bother to read the article you linked?

You're right, nobody can ever know even remotely everything.

Luckily, the same device you used to post that comment can also be used to check if what you are about to say is actually true, so you can prevent yourself from spreading misinformation like this in the future.
