  I’m talking about normies, not gamers, and not power users like yourself.

  Normies touch their pc for less than one hour a day, because everything they could want is in their phone. Many normies don’t even have internet connections in their home because they exclusively engage with the internet through their phone. I’ve talked to normies who don’t have pcs at all because their ipads do everything they could possibly want.

  It’s a fact that there are certain games that simply do not run on linux, because of drm or developer stupidity or any number of reasons. As a separate argument, I’d argue that those games are not worth playing. I used to be a hardcore gamer, I’ve gotten old since then and become a casual. I don’t have time nor energy to dedicate to figuring out why game x won’t run on pc y with configuration z. If the big green play button doesn’t work, I refund the damn thing, and in my almost 2 years of linux usage I have yet to need to do that. Another separate argument is my disdain for AAA games, the lack of ethics in their creation, and the abysmal conditions in which they always launch in these days.

  So as to your actual question, can I convince you to switch your gaming pc to linux? No, and I’m not even going to try. If you insist on playing the latest AAA slop that the megacorps shovel at you, then you must have windows and you must continue to allow microsoft to continue to rape your digital existence in order to have crappy entertainment that I wouldn’t dignify with the time of day.

  i remember doing this to make a sim with a nose the size of a car. I named him Nostrildomus.

  Deus Ex was on Unreal Engine 1 or 2. Other than that, yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  if you’re on Linux mint, check to see if mint itself is out of date. When I installed mint, the only install media I could find was 2 versions behind. Getting to the current version fixed my warframe problems.

  i remember it as “the last version of windows you’ll ever need” and they were absolutely correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I switched to linux full time almost a year ago.

  I have been thus far entirely unsuccessful in convincing anyone else to make the jump. Normal people do not give a fuck, will not lift a finger to improve their digital lives. I’ve been telling friends and family about adblockers for YEARS, and not a single one ever bothered to do it of their own volition. If I don’t do it for them, then they just sit through ads like complacent sheep. None of them are going to change operating systems if they can’t even install a browser extension.

  what if its an invasive species?

  no way is something so cute from around here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨>meme arrows⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not checking either, but it’s funny

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨^_^ I just think skibidibi sounds neat :3⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  so whatever happened to that lawsuit against valve for using skibidi assets in half life?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Avengers: Doomsday" is officially in production⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A number of different quotes come to mind:

  “Can robert downy jr do for marvel what robert downy jr did for marvel?”

  or

  “You’ll be doing this until you’re ninety”

  I’m not hype for this, especially after deadpool+wolverine was just an endless parade of HEY IT’S THAT THING YOU LIKE, YOU LIKE THIS. Nothing to make me want to watch it a second time, at least not without a lot of alcohol. Nothing I’ve seen recently gives me high expectations for the next movie.

  also no hotseat multiplayer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Civ6 still isn’t in a state that I’m happy with playing it over civ 5, or even civ4. What makes them think I’d give civ7 the time of day?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you think that you are always right remember you could actually be stupid and not know it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  be me do awesome work that is well done and makes perfect sense derp shows up “Hey anon, what dipshit did this?” points at my work “This is stupid.” I explain the what and why. derp still thinks it’s wrong and stupid. I finish my work, with time to spare. Later, derp does the work. Takes him twice as long as it took me and it all looks like shit. Derp leaves at the end of his day, the work isn’t actually done and I have to clean up after him. I explain the above to Herp and Gerp, both think that Derp was right and I was wrong. Anons, am I the stupid?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pineapple was never the problem⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if you know this, but the pineapple pizza thing is a trans allegory. I didn’t decide that, it just is. Making jokes at the expense of a persecuted minority is not ok. Good comedy punches up, not down. My bad for forgetting again that internet communities don’t do subtlety.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6 years and 1 prolonged delay later, Xbox is still calling "incredible" Hollow Knight: Silksong one of its "upcoming games"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  are they still working on it? yes? then it will come out when it comes out. There’s enough content in my backlog to keep me occupied for another 5 years at least, and more new games release every day. I can wait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pineapple was never the problem⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  for fucks sake, just let people enjoy their damn food. This existing doesn’t affect you. You can just, not eat it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon uses Windows⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  with how thoroughly I’ve seen my friends and family fuck up their pcs, the above story does not surprise me at all. I myself have had obscure issues with windows that other people find unbelievable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon uses Windows⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  doesn’t bother me because anyone snooping deserves to be traumatized. However, it’s linux, I’m sure there’s a setting for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon uses Discord⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And I’m not looking forwards to the effort it is going to take to get my friends to migrate away from discord. It was hard enough to get them on discord in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Before you act, is this right for the company?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  that would be equity, not equality

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon needs help to solve the mystery⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly, there’s a lack of formal studies to determine how often is too often. I think “pay attention to your body” is generally good advice. If anything is sore or hurting, it’s probably time to take a break. Kegel exercises also help keep the sphincter from weakening over time, useful advice even for people who aren’t into butt stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon needs help to solve the mystery⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why hard plugs are for short periods of fun times, and soft plugs are for all day / all night usage.

  Speaking from experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gigachad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  so I totally forgot that I commented on this, and was coming in to make a comment about how aesthetic is so much more important than graphical fidelity, then saw that I had already made a quippy comment.

  oops.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gigachad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I also frequently lie to myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gigachad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  not only based, but also gay.

  because gay is good, therefore the original point is good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gigachad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s better if you look at games that are not 3d.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gigachad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i’ve got an old version of FCEUX that I boot up all the time to run The Guardian Legend. One day, I’ll do a full run in one sitting. Then, maybe I’ll speedrun. I can dream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m more confused as to why my upvote took 4 seconds to do the thing instead of the usual instantaneous. Is it because the US has become a fascist dictatorship without the populace noticing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  because the US sucks ass and the entire world just does what the US does is also sucking of the ass.

  It’s not that I disagree with you, it’s that we can do better and we’re not.
