The PlayStation 2
Ah yes, the super chad of its console generation, tons of great games, dvd playback, and PS1 compatibility! What’s not to love about this legendary system?...
First game you played
Title says it all, what was the first game you remember playing and had fond memories of?...
Favourite DE
My favourite DE has got to be Cinnamon, as much as I like KDE and XFCE, I prefer the simplicity of cinnamon where as in KDE has a bit too much of everything in the customization scene and XFCE I find a little tricky to get tiling working right....
The Sega Dreamcast
It is undeniable that the dreamcast was a solid machine that had good games and a sleek look, but was ultimately overshadowed by the goliath that is the PS2....
Shoot em ups & run n' guns
What are your favourite shoot em or run and gun games?...
What are your thoughts on Flatpak/Flathub? (flathub.org)
How does it stack up against traditional package management and others like AUR and Nix?
Which one do you prefer? htop, btop or top?
Why do you find yourself opting for btop or htop instead of top? What advantages do these tools offer that make them superior to top in your opinion?...
Half Life 3
As most of you know, HL3 is pretty much the most popular “vaporware” game out there. Something always rumored and in development, but never heard again after a certain point....
Favourite developers
What is your favourite developer company? Mine is ID Tech because they made games like the original DooM games which have serious long standing modding support and Quake for some of those tense DM games!...
Your first distribution
What was the first ever distro you installed and used? For me, it was Mint as I seemed like the closest thing to Windows minus all the forced updates and chappy changes....
Legend of Zelda
What is your favourite LOZ game? My fave is twilight princess as it was the first zelda game I played. Being it on the Wii....
Linux and DOOM (1993)
So I’ve been thinking, the DOOM game code was made available openly and if I am not mistaken, was based off the linux version....
Databases and their real world use examples
I am very curious as to how databases are used in the real world, whether you’re using MySQL and what not, how does it all come together in a real world business? Banking and gaming I know, but is it something that gets stored on data centres and then put into a VM?...
Street Fighter Vs Mortal Kombat
Which of the two fighting franchises do you prefer most? I preferred SF likely because I liked the roster of characters from dhalsim to blanka....
Favourite controllers
The best controller I arguably thing is the 360 controller. It just feels right to use in fighting games and fps. I like xboxs layout with the analog sticks....
Ubuntu Snap Hate
I’ve gathered that a lot of people in the nix space seem to dislike snaps but otherwise like Flatpaks, what seems to be the difference here?...
The Sega Saturn
The Saturn is probably one of the most jaded consoles I come across, on one hand I like some of the japan only games, but on the other, most multiplat games were better on the PS1....
Physical or Digital?
Title says it all lads....
Controversy and Censorship
Now this one might be a little heated, but an example of this happening is the game Stellar Blade, whilst it is still a good game, there was also a sex appeal to it which they cut out the jiggle physics and sultryness out of the game before release....
Microtransactions
I don’t know about you chaps but I absolutely detest the modern approach companies have with their franchises and games....
Windows Mixed Reality to be removed in Windows 11 24H2 (blogs.windows.com)
Windows MR and HP Reverb VR headsets to lose all functionality in Windows 11 24H2, so don’t update if you use those headsets....
Emulation
What are your favourite games to relive your nostalgia on what emulator? I used to play the hell out of Monkeyball on gamecube so I enjoy using Dolphin for that or Mario Sunshine....
What skill or talent took you longer than it should have to learn?
Fedora
Dangerous opinion, I’ve recently moved to Fedora after Ubuntu and after customising it on the GNOME desktop, it’s literally Ubuntu (But better) in every way except no snaps....
