Just your average unmarketable, anticapitalist plushie gal. I love games (video games, board games, card games, ttrpgs, etc.) and other nerd shit.

Cop rule (pawb.social)

Image transcription: a image containing two scenes. The first is of a press interview with a police officer captioned “Cops: Treat us with the same dignity and respect that we treat you.” The second is of a protestor about to attack a downed police officer with what appears to be a hockey stick, captioned “OK”.

Hoo boy, where do I begin?

  • Fandom pages are incredibly obnoxious with how many ads they load, making them bloated and difficult to read for profit
  • Fandom bought Gamepedia and FORCED all the Gamepedia wikis to switch to the Fandom format, which has a bunch of ugly UI shit literally nobody likes or uses
  • Fandom tries to impede any attempt by users to migrate to a better hosting service, banning anyone it sees as promoting alternative wiki sites

TL;DR: it’s basically Enshittification: the Company.

Kurzgesagt is a shitty neoliberal who greenwashes the future involving climate change. I’m not sure if he’s paid by oil companies or if he just loves huffing their balls that much.

Stormyfemme is talking about a certain phenomenon on r/AskReddit, where a lot of the questions asked survey (usually) women about their sex lives in a way that makes it obvious that OP gets their rocks off to the answers. So basically the implication is that you’re doing the same thing.

(I’m not saying I necessarily agree with Stormyfemme’s assessment of your motivations. I’m just giving context.)

Ah okie, no problem

@unmarketableplushie@pawb.social avatar

You’re not. The games were created to appeal to yaoi fans specifically

Ah, the Oceangate maneuver

If by “regulate” you mean “forcibly dissolve them and charge their CEOs with crimes against humanity and nature”, then I agree

I remember getting one from a fascist saying they wanted to “tie people like [me] up and drag their bodies from [their] truck”

Fortrule (pawb.social)

Image transcription: a screenshot of a cutscene in Friday Night Funkin’. The dialogue of one of Mommy Mearest’s backup dancers is obscured by an advertisement reading “FORTNITE — FREE GAME” in a way that makes him look like he’s saying what’s on the advertisement. End transcription.

Shit. Sorry, I haven’t played FNF in like, a year or two.

“ough” can be pronounced /oʊ/ in words like “though” or “dough”

unmarketableplushie,
@unmarketableplushie@pawb.social avatar

That part of the joke is that “ough” can represent /oʊ/. Not that it WOULD, that it CAN.

And besides, the “th” in “though” is pronounced /ð/, and the “T” in “Tony” isn’t.

This isn’t even a Linux thing. You AI bros just fucking suck in general.

I haven’t watched the TV series, but I’m a big enthusiast of the games.

I’d say start at the start, especially if you’re alright with more old-school games. The first two are (sometimes punishingly hard) isometric RPGs that I personally had a blast playing. Some of the later games have little references to them that you might miss, too.

Get Fallout 2 on GOG instead of Steam if you can, the version on Steam is the censored European version that removes all the child characters and quite a bit of content with them (since you had the option to kill them in the game’s open world environment, despite the game heavily penalising child murder).

If turn-based combat and 90s graphics really repulse you (totally fair, I know they’re not everyone’s cup of tea), you could try playing the 3D games instead, which are essentially first-person RPGs with FPS elements. Fallout 3 is alright, the story isn’t that good, and the gunplay just feels a bit off, but the environments are really well-crafted and are fun to traverse.

If you have to play one Fallout game though, I would pick Fallout New Vegas. It’s mostly made by the guys who made the first two games, and they really really knocked the ball out of the park. It’s still got the slightly awkward gunplay of the third game, but everything else is really well done. The story especially is probably one of the best video game narratives I’ve experienced (putting it up there with those of Disco Elysium and Undertale).

I haven’t played Fallout 4, so I can’t really give you any recommendation there.

To my knowledge, we’ll have to wait for proprietary drivers to support this, which will take a few months iirc

unmarketableplushie,
@unmarketableplushie@pawb.social avatar

Odd. I run Fedora 39 as my daily driver (and Fedora 38 before that) with a 3060 ti and I’ve never had any problems with it on that scale.

Metapod is a Pokémon

@unmarketableplushie@pawb.social avatar

Yeah, it was probably autocorrect

unmarketableplushie,
@unmarketableplushie@pawb.social avatar

Seconding this. XWayland is literally unusable with my 3060 Ti, while I’ve been having very few problems with X11. Hopefully explicit sync support is added before Fedora 40 drops
