• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your experiences using Linux for gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m using Bazzite on hardware that is, notoriously Linux unfriendly (nvidia GPU, partitioned SSD…)

  And the only major issue I had was completely self-inflicted: I tried turning on Frame Gen in Cyberpunk and it made it not happy. The game was unplayable.

  The minor issue I had (that was actually OS related) was some color accuracy issues - everything looked washed out on a default install, some googling got me to a small piece of software that I set to launch on login that fixed it, allowing me to set my color saturation how I want.

  Aside from that, it’s been pretty straightforward. I don’t play many multiplayer games, and the one I do (OSRS) is pretty well-supported. The client everyone uses runs well and I was able to install the Jagex Launcher just fine, even if it is unsupported it works fine.

  Bazzite desktop has been the best desktop Linux experience I’ve ever had and I’ll probably stick with it going forward.

  Nah fuckem, I uninstalled today after this and seeing how they implemented:

  1. The most toxic bit of powercreep from the main TCG (basics that have free attacks)
  2. Supporter card abilities that got put onto EX cards as once-per-turn abilities

  The gacha-ness of it all just caught up to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are password managers secure to use?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like the other commenter said - people recommend them for peace of mind so you don’t have to think about knowing a password for the 2653rd account you set up once and are never using again.

  I’ve used Dashlane for years, personally, but I know people here will immediately shut that down for not being FOSS. Bitwarden is FOSS but requires some technical setup and has no redundancy.

  Don’t get me wrong, I love self-hosting as much as the rest of us but I’m not trusting my server from 2013 with all my passwords to everything.

  The game was ahead of it’s time in terms of combat. It felt janky at times but it plays like a souls-like with how slow and deliberate you need to be once enemies start having proper counters to what you do.

  And the time dagger mechanic was always fantastic to me conceptually.

  Here’s hoping Ubi doesn’t fuck it up beyond belief.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was in a similar situation, but as the boyfriend at the time

  I’d driven 1.5hr away to see my then girlfriend at college. We went out for groceries and were just pulling into her campus, making a left on a yellow when a cyclist went straight on a yellow. She flipped over the hood of my car and broke her collarbone.

  I’d almost come to a complete stop when the actual collision happened but was still on the hook for the fines and license points for failing to yield.

  The girl I hit didn’t press charges or anything. And as far as I’m aware she’s doing ok.

  Despite the trauma, I kept driving out of necessity, I had to get 80+ miles home somehow and I definitely wasn’t going to Uber from there.

  Now we got married, and we both have long commutes for our jobs (in opposite directions unfortunately, we just moved to a more central spot for it) and our jobs require travel between multiple locations throughout the day.

  Quitting driving would’ve kept us from job opportunities that allow us to have the lifestyle we live today.

  I don’t think you’re overreacting, but imo you shouldn’t let something like that define your adult life. Accidents happen, and this was probably the best-cass scenario in your case.

  Oh so we’re going back to our roots with this one, a riot in Falador it is then.

  Same - it’s pretty fun on a guitar controller if you have one!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bioshock creator Ken Levine discusses the future of narratives in games⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Brackets in a quote denote a change to what was actually said. In a perfect world, with quality journalism, they’re used to summarize or make the quote flow better in the piece without changing the intent or meaning of the quote

  In this case, they very well could’ve changed “won’t be” to “will be”

  I don’t expect that to be the case here, but it’s possible.

  Also, using an ellipsis inside brackets like this: “[…]” Is an intentional omission by the author of the piece.

  Scalie then

  Same idea lmao

  Picked up the Early Access for Windblown recently.

  So far so good! It’s basically 3D Dead Cells with furries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hades II is now available in Steam Early Access!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Supergiant has the level of respect from me that early Blizzard had.

  They have done nothing but release complete, solid games throughout their history. Everything in their library is at least an 8/10 and worth the money imo.

  I have no reason to believe Hades 2 will be any different based on the tech test and the couple hours I played today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I tested the Age of Empires Mobile beta, and it's a worthless adaptation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s always Xcom - the shining example of what a mobile port could be.

  I wish other companies would see that and go “yeah, that’s doable”

  Instead, this crap happens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I see your Outlook (new) and I raise you Microsoft Teams classic (work or school)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Better yet - mine keeps trying to push me to the new version, but the (new) version is blocked in my org.

  So every time it tries to open, I get a “teams (new) is blocked in your organization.” And I have to fight it to go back to the old version.

  Meh, I prefer Vivaldi because I use it on PC too.

  I like the extra customizability and features they offer vs the competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facepalm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The way I’ve been using is to use the Vivaldi browser’s inbuilt adblocking. Comes with the added benefit of syncing to other devices and background audio playback so I can lock my phone and still have audio playing.
