Are you playing the original KOTOR or the remakes by Aspyr? They redid them so that they no longer crash on start and you don't need to change or add patches.

It's available on mac, switch, android and iOS. Apparently a new remake is still possibly coming soon too.

For me it's getting people to play KOTOR, I know it's old but it's just sooo good and the story is so great, and please just play it. Pretty please.

It's up to you, I haven't touched the Linux community for a long time (only came back last week to fedora) so it may just be that I'm out of touch.

When I was younger though, the biggest reason to change was because I wanted something different. If I was purely looking for playing games and homework I'd stay with Windows because it does work great for that and there would be no point to change.

So the question is, what is it that grabs me onto Linux, and part of that is implied in your your graph, but part could be seen as these aspects.

In saying that, I do get your point too, and for beginners it may be the better recommendation. In fact I may just be the outliner now that I think about it lol and maybe people don't try to set up Gentoo "just coz the community said it's hard and I took that personally" lol so an honorable mention may be better.

You forgot "I want those cool socks" for arch Linux :P.

I think it's also worth noting that not everyone's coming to Linux for an easy time. Or essentially sometimes people are looking for the full experience like I did when I was younger. So it might be worth including path ways for those who want to compile everything themselves or even run so minimalist they essentially just using a terminal.

I actually hate the milk left in the cereal bowl, it's so interesting to hear people enjoy it, but I do it because my parents would scream at me if I ever left a crumb of food (we were quite poor to be fair).

Imo this is a key problem with police in the US. You're meant to take something like this video, analyse it, grow from it and provide a better procedure/training in what to do in that sort of situation so that it is more safe for both police and the public in the future.

Instead you get "police tried to stop a robber by shooting into a crowded street, two civilians were killed and the robber only has slight injuries". And the police response is "oh we have qualified immunity, this is actually whats meant to happen, we stopped the robber didn't we etc etc etc" and nothing is learnt.

Just a heads up OP worth checking your state, country or councils government websites that note about electricity. Some of them give free power/watt checkers to help people reduce their electricity usage.

This is something I don't fully understand how it works tbh. In Aus you very much can still pay for health insurance if people care about time that much and they have the money for it.

So the only difference is that we have both if you dont have money, and that we still spend less per capita in healthcare?

Hahaha I always felt that these sorts of places want the main three:

• Second most popular opinion
• A quirky opinion (eg. I like wearing soggy socks)
• An edgy opinion

Lol you can see my place.

I feel like something big is coming soon too. My guess is a recession like that, but i don't know the economy enough to know. But somehow, someway, all the corporate places are firing and all the grocery stores are adding security layers in my country (expecting more thefts due to a down trend of money?).

Just feels like somethings off and all the rich companies with economic analysis teams are already putting in their action plans.

Interesting but I do think things are a little different:

• A lot of people seem to be commenting about how a remaster is about changing atmosphere or visual changes. And I agree with you. But OP is asking specifically about games with the quote "for modern audiences" in the game and that quote is not added for the visual or control or minor game design changes, but instead specifically to tell you it's removed the "isms" out.
• I think your point about isms makes sense, it's just that I'm of the opposing view. That I think the "isms" have been removed out is like censoring a painting or movie. Sure it's easier to digest, but what made the media so poignant is sometimes the rawity of it.

I guess I don't think you're wrong, just that I think it takes away from the original media for the only reason that "it sells more if we can widen the audience".

For me the ideal would be you could choose between the two. How the game was originally made but with the updated graphics/control/design. Or the new one that removes any isms to placate people's sensibilities.

I don't think however my preference would happen because it goes against the idea of "hay we can sell more if we tell everyone we removed everything controversial about the game". So I guess your idea solution is probably the best middle ground :)

Definitely for me big alarm bells.

Look a remaster should or could have obvious upgrades, sometimes it's visuals, videos, style, controls etc. that to me is good.

But that quote specifically tells me "the game has been changed for current day sensibilities" and I hate that. I feel it takes away from what the original had in mind, for good or bad.

I understand that many media have been racist/misogynist/ageist and accept that it was a product of its time. But I don't think it does it any good to essentially pretend that it didn't happen and I feel we're just pretending it isn't what it truly is when it's changed.

I do think remakes are different however. I feel they are taking the idea of the original but redesigning it in a way that the new designers for see.

BUT the fact is, that quote is only ever seen on media that hides the past, not remakes the future.

To add to the other users comment about it not being strictly a tech tool. Many people are using it to keep track of their New Year Resolutions :D. 🎊 Happy New Year

Yeah even api and secret keys!

It's a kanban board that atlassian a popular company that makes apps for developers bought out.

Not sure if you used a kanban board before but basically you put items that need to be done in columns with typical headers (can be changed) of "to do, doing, blocked, done". So that one can keep track of work/goals etc.

Does anyone remember when something like this actually happened? Maybe it's the Mandela effect but U sweat at one stage a whole heap of sites were using black/dark mode to save the planet

From my understanding they didn't just get inspiration from Google, it's actually using their system and their help to build (both running on Google Gemini).
