Growing up in a 3rd world country. When my father gave me a PS2 it was hacked to play pirated games. We also burned CDs on our PC before that.

They’re simple to get into for anyone with an introductory interest in Linux, although I haven’t liked Ubuntu in ages. My Mint setup took a bit of effort but it does game pretty well. Fedora could be a good recommendation too, I liked that when I tried it out. There’s some gaming focused distros like Bazzite or Nobara, but I feel like I can get a “normal” distro working to a similar state for games, and I don’t have to hope that a small team doesn’t fold and my distro loses updates support.

I’m trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed this week, wanna see if it’s a good alternative to Fedora.

I don’t dare try Arch yet, and thus I also wouldn’t recommend it to any new user.

I had a sudden urge to look into TERA Online private servers, downloaded 100GB of custom game clients… And that somehow resulted in me getting back into playing Grim Dawn. This time I want to play it enough to really learn it and actually finish the game.

Bought it on sale earlier this year alongside Palworld and Helldivers 2. You might notice why I still haven’t started it.

I mean even without that slip up the rest of the message still gives them away. Who the fuck would say that without being a vatnik shill.

The golden days of Ultimate-Guitar uaer submitted tabs and pirated Guitar Pro 5 (which my guitar teacher gave to me on a burned CD) Good times.

Dunno, but graphics drivers stopped working again! Go reinstall them!

Open a ticket with support where an actual human will read it. The automated refund tool will always deny it.

I feel bad for Arrowhead. Sony fucked them over and it’s not going to take any of the backlash, they will.

Speaking of the state of piracy, how is the state of piracy on Linux? I usually only do that stuff on Windows, I’ve never tried installing Repacks and such on my Linux machines.

What animated film or tv show is this? (i.imgur.com)

For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don’t think it’s excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art....

Yeah I tried actually joining a Foundry game because my friends wanted to use it instead of Roll20 for our next game. We only really played two sessions on it amd it was an absolute nightnare, so many technical problems that it completely soured the experience. The first session had a TWO HOUR delay because the thing wasn’t working and had to install a bunch of addons, and then I had to install a different browser because it didn’t want to work with what I had at the moment. Pissed me off, ngl.

I haven’t played on my Switch or really touched in in a few months now, since around the Yuzu news. I’m too disgusted by them to want to do it, and shortly before that, I had decided to mod it and not buy their games again. Now I’m 100% certain I’m going to do that. If I really want to give money to some indie game I like, I’ll buy it on Steam.

I actually had that realization yesterday. At this point I hope they keep doing it and making Win11/worse. I’m not moving out of Win10 and I have Linux on all my other PCs, and this should push more people into Linux too.

I have never used Arch but I have had SEVERAL FUCKING TIMES Windows comppletely fuck up something in my system through updates. Thankfully it hasn’t happened in my latest machine running Win10, but in my laptops one ofthenm literally died trying to upgrade versions, and I had to block ut from ever attempting it again.Nowadayas that same laptop is happily running Mint and testing Fedora.

In my old laptop, Windows updates used to cannibalize my AMD graphics card driver literally every time.

They wanted to get pickes up in a billionaire acquisition by some Arab group. But the deal never happened and they ended up with billions in debt instead.

Can we go back to when every technology was just weaponized instead? No? This is somehow worse.

And not being able to log into my own fucking machine if I lose internet access, or if Microsoft servers are on fire? Absolutely fucking not.

Yeah I know my internet craps itself out every now and then, it’s just a fact of life. I like my things on my machines to work regardless of that.

Anyway, that second explanation, doesn’t sound much better. Then again, I don’t think I’m going to use Windows again when 10 goes EoL.
