Minecraft doesn’t use JavaScript, it’s just Java but the way.

I don’t think the union was official yet, i think they were discussing unionising
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 6 days ago:
Not to mention the bombardment of phone calls and messages while trying to "mourn’. Awful pacing.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 6 days ago:
The game is definitely too sparse and spread out. It should’ve taken more inspiration from the likes of yakuza than gta and made a smaller but more dense world to play in where every nook and cranny ACTUALLY meant something rather than giving the illusion of doing so.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 week ago:
To me every non and cranny just looks bland with nothing to do there. Everywhere just had the same sidewalks and railings. There’s no way i could ever navigate that game without waypoints.
And with the acting the emphasis she puts on certain words in a sentence just don’t match the situation and the others she’s talking to, and it feels like she swaps between extreme emotions on the same dialogue and it’s like tonal whiplash to me. There was no nuance to lay in between, and nothing to unpack for the listener. You know when she’s angry because she has her 110% angry voice on and so on.
Unless the situation is heightened and dire, it just never fit in my opinion. Her performance fits a stage play more than what’s meant to be an immersive video game in my opinion.
Jackie’s and Keanu’s voice acting though was stellar.

Cyberpunk.
It’s okay, but it’s a far cry from giving me the feelings of a cyberpunk world in my opinion and I’m a massive fan of blade runner and the like.
Why am i spending so much time wandering at the street level where everywhere just looks and feels the same. Travelling is so boring.
And the voice acting of V (I played female) is so overreacted, it’s one of the cringiest performances in gaming, considering it’s meant to be all serious and whatnot.
- Comment on ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ Is Postponed Again — to November 2026 1 week ago:
4s driving and shooting was better than SA but everything else makes SA better. I wanted then to marry the two together for the best GTA possible but they never did and probably won’t ever
- Comment on Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other? 1 week ago:
This is often the other way round nowadays though. It definitely used to be the case during the 360 era. But now loads of games use a mouse like cursor in games, even on console. And sometimes if it’s not like that the UI still looks mouse driven looking like it expects you to click on buttons but instead that have added a PNG of the button you need to press slightly over the UI button. It’s awful.

Coming with Teflon pans has loads of evidence of killing pet birds nearby though so I’m not too sure it’s as 100% safe as you say it is.

I preferred path of neo personally. It just played better in my opinion and i found the extra bits fun padding for a game i wanted more of

- Comment on ‘It’s about redemption’: Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’ 2 weeks ago:
I ultimately don’t think he’s a bad guy so I’m rooting for him to show us wrong.
I think he always just believed in his vision too much and didn’t realise that he and his team couldn’t end up delivering on it. And then he’d be so excited about what he’s working on that he just couldn’t not share it with others. I don’t think he ever intended to mislead.
I know there’s the milo thing but with that I feel like he still thought they could do it in the end but Microsoft just needed something right there and then to show. I think that issue ends up more squarely on whoever sold him on what the hardware could do and he had not yet fully hit those walls of limitations enough to realise they weren’t coming down at all. (I also think this goes for Sean Murray too when he did the talk show circuit that Sony put him on)

If you are able to i think ensuring they’re installed on different drivers alleviates most issues

Be careful, windows can fuck up some dual boot setups and make the Linux side worse

It’s more that these are usually terrorists from elsewhere where either there are or people think there are such systems in place that may affect their “reach”

I agree with your statement by the way except for this is also politics

No, the rest are a combination of ones not been verified yet and ones been proven false.
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 3 weeks ago:
A lot of my recent experiences have been with arch and because it’s always up to date and AUR being as expensive as it is, I always seen to find an easy way to install something, even third party stuff. I’ve never hit any of the issues people have with saying an update can break your system yet, but then again I only install what I need and always uninstall stuff that I either installed accidentally or no longer need.
I tried fedora with nobara for a bit because I liked bazzite, but it wasn’t for me. I got too used to what’s available to me via arch or at least being used to know where to look for that stuff on arch vs fedora
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 3 weeks ago:
Like I said, I play quite a bit of multiplayer games that work fine. Just not the shitty live service with awful kernel level anti cheat ones which you would never have caught me playing even back on windows.
The only notable games I know that don’t work are valorant and league because of their anti cheat, but i would never want to play them anyway. I’ve played marvel rivals on bazzite though, perfect experience, ended up running better on the same hardware than it did on windows.
I also feel like I have to fight against windows now more then ever. I currently still have to use it for work and it can be a nightmare at times. On Linux if something is wrong I can almost always find a way to fix it. Most of the time you’re shit out of luck on windows 11.

Bigwig studio is a great ableton replacement that is Linux native too. Made by some of the original team from ableton too iirc.
Theres also Reaper if you want something closer to FL studio.
I’m not into CAD stuff at the moment but I’m pretty sure there are some really good open source ones out there at the moment that are Linux native also.
I’ve not had any issues with any games on bazzite or cachyos either. Although I don’t play AAA multiplayer games with the shitty anti cheats, which i think are the only ones that don’t work now. Master Chief collection is about as close to that as I go but that works completely fine.
Keep in mind with bazzite and cachyos i also didn’t need to do any tinkering to get the games to work. They just do.

Ooo Linux mentioned?
What distro are you currently on, I’m intrigued
- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 3 weeks ago:
It’s better but it’s onboarding is worse. Figuring out the drift boosting is harder than figuring it out for Mario kart with the latter feeling love riding a bike and easy to get back into the muscle memory time and time again.
However, whenever you’ve got the feeling of how CTRs works, It feels better than Mario karts. Giving you more control and more engagement in the moment to moment.
Sometimes i bounce off CTR when coming back to it after a very long time going to just play it for a bit but fumble a bunch of drifts and feel like i can’t be arsed trying to figure it out again currently and just play something else with what little time i had currently.

Before i decided to ditch Chromium wholesale i originally wanted to try Vivaldi. I loved the customisation except for the strange omission of not being able to have the bookmarks bar only show on a new tab page. How is what is usually one of the only bits of customisation on a standard browser not in the browser lauded over for its customisation. Bonkers
