The first two…I’ll graciously call them “sentences”… I got the context of…once I got to the third one, my brain was like “I haven’t partaken in enough brain rot to understand this new form of damaged English language”.

And this is pre-LED bulb days. They didn’t even have compact florescents. Imagine the power bill from incandescent bulbs running for several days.

I know speculation is fun, but until we know the price officially, all of this is moot. Wait until next year when they announce actual pricing and judge it then for its value.
I, personally, don’t think it’ll be a successful product if it isn’t less than $800. They don’t have to have it cost console prices, but it does need to be at least somewhat within spitting distance. If the price is the cost of an Xbox or Playstation plus, say…a year of their online service subscription, I think that could be marketable.
If it’s closer to a grand, it’ll be a flop like the first Steam Machines.

Would anybody even notice if Google Cloud Platform imploded, since nobody uses it?

At least he doesn’t have to worry about it. God can’t inhabit his brain because it’s non-existent.

- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS 1 month ago:
Not really surprising. Windows hasn’t had significant investment from Microsoft in a while, unless it’s cramming bullshit AI and telemetry “features” in.

I think it was more a commentary for trans women being women
- Comment on Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party 1 month ago:
Nice idea to make Xbox and PC one platform, but given how badly the ROG Xbox handheld was implemented (since you can’t play Xbox games on this “Xbox”), good luck with that.

- Comment on EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm 2 months ago:
EA has no values, because they’re a soulless, shit hole company, so they’re not lying (this time), I guess.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 2 months ago:
Devices don’t “need breaks”. This problem is indicative of a memory leak, which means they coded something shitty.
Sure, playing for 7 hours straight is excessive, but this shouldn’t happen.

It’s actually really neat. You should check it out.

This post made me buy and play the game through. I did my first playthrough in about 4 hours and… Wow … My brain is going to be contemplating the story for a while. Incredible. Just incredible.

Given that it didn’t exist yet, more like an Undertale rip off

No it’s not. It’s sad.

I second this, although some of the bosses can be quite a challenge.

- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 5 months ago:
What a joke. Development for 10 years and you just cancel it like a fart in the wind. I’d be utterly ashamed at that kind of mismanagement.

This. You have to install the Windows version with Proton, sadly. They stopped support for the native Linux build.

Sonic Origins used the same engine and basically was like “people seem to like classic Sonic games. Let’s make Sonic Mania themed in Genesis era games”.
And yet…they STILL fucked it up.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 6 months ago:
There is no “objective” when talking about subjective terms.
My personal, SUBJECTIVE favorites are Mass Effect, Titanfall 2, Subnautica, Stardew Valley, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dave the Diver, Balatro, and Portal 1 and 2
- Comment on Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS) 6 months ago:
It’s always interesting the different experiences people have. I have way less problems on Linux with games than I do on Windows. Mostly because every time I would boot into Windows, I’d have to spend 15-20 minutes on a good day installing patches for games and Windows Updates.
- Comment on Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS) 6 months ago:
I made the jump two years ago. I started with a 512GB SATA SSD with Windows and then my main drive on Linux.
There aren’t any games I play regularly that don’t “just work” on Linux, but I also get that can depend on the person. I hope you can get there one day.
Until then…maybe dual boot?

If you want to run VR on Linux with your Quest headset, WiVRn works absolutely flawlessly. Been running VR with my Quest 2 for a while with it.
Not sure if jailbreaks exist for the Quest 3, but I’ve considered jailbreaking my Quest 2 in order to run it without a Meta account.

You installed KDE on Mint? Why not just install Debian with KDE?
