There is a new Dutch renovation show that has a girl with exactly that build. She had to call another contestent info the bathroom because she couldn’t get her leggings pulled up over her ass. It’s definitely causes real problems but if it’s not a fake butt is another question.
- Comment on Are there any games like Starfield? 1 week ago:
Yeah I played it halfway and it didn’t grip me like New Vegas did. The story just seemed pretty convoluted and meandering.
Gameplay was about as fun as NV though!
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 week ago:
I have tried openSUSE Kalpa for a few months and that would literally only boot 50-60% of the time due to not being able to mount volumes for some random reason, also RPM-ostree is better than the suse tool for it (from a layman’s perspective) and saving 10 or so system snapshots doesn’t make sense for my usecase because I would only notice something wrong from a bad update immediately or 4 months down the road lol.
Steam being natively installed is a big one too because flatpak steam is simply riddled with bugs and problems. I couldn’t even launch any game at all until I found a command buried not in opensuse’s documentation but another. I think I ran into 4-5 major issues before they were all found out via the web. Definitely not an experience most people would want.
Otherwise it is about the same.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 week ago:
I’ll be honest. It was a hell of a time getting things working correctly due to the lack of documentation, but now I have everything except scanning and document signing working. (Rocket league runs fine, just with half the fps I should be getting) I literally don’t have to touch anything anymore, it will just keep itself updated and working completely hands-off. That is what I want out of a system now that tweaking and debugging is a distraction from my other hobbies rather than a hobby itself.
The biggest feature that I like is Linux without having any manual update intervention at all. It all just runs and updates itself and works.
If something goes wrong in my software, I can uninstall and reinstall the flatpak delete remaining files, and reinstall with 3 clicks instead of having to search for where the hell this specific program decided to stash its files and configs and cache on my system like I had to with a traditional system.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 week ago:
I can attest to this. I daily drive bazzite exclusively now.
Rocket league specifically only uses 40% of the GPU and 25% CPU and refuses to use any more at all. It is only a bazzite problem. Other distros are completely fine and other bazzite users have reported the same thing, regardless of settings, launch options, etc…
It is hell when trying to do embedded firmware development. Pretty much everything has to be done through distrobox related to it because JLink needs to be accessible by NRF connect which has to be accessible by VSCode, etc… vscode and oss versions simply don’t work if you have to install more than the very basic UI extensions.
Plus then you have udev rules that you have to manually place in the read only file system (recommended by a Bazzite maintainer on their discord) which they explicitly tell you never to do in the docs. There is absolutely nothing regarding JLink (the most widely used industry flashing tool for ARM) in any universalblue docs, even the bluefin and aurora versions “for developers”.
Also, there is absolutely no known way to handle eID credentials, crypto keys, etc in order to digitally sign documents. Also key management and access simply does not work at all in flatpak.
Network scanning simply doesn’t work at all (yes, saned is set up). It is simply completely nonfunctional.
Outside of those cases though, it works fine. Themes work, font installation works as expected, KiCAD, freeCAD work, browsers, media players, etc… All work fine. Distrobox, while start menu applications via distrobox sometimes simply don’t start, they often work fine. However, I haven’t had to worry about updating my system in 4 months because updates are in the background and completely seamless and not a single thing breaks during updates which by itself is the reason I switched from arch.
(Arch never became unbootable or seriously broken, but I would have update problems and have to search for forum solutions to make a full update work every month or two)

I don’t think I will buy another Nintendo console ever (unless they turn around) and will only buy 2nd hand games so Nintendo doesn’t get any money.
The sad thing is that Nintendo does make very good games and some of the only great party games left with a low skill entry level
- Comment on If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that? 3 weeks ago:
Buddhism as it originally was, was more of a philosophy and way of life.
However, as will all organized religion, Buddhism has morphed in Tibet (free Tibet), India, and other places into mysticism with gods, recurring semi-saviors through “reincarnation”, and classist systems and hierarchies. Sad, really. Humans mess everything up for personal gain and control.

- Comment on Riot Games is cracking down on players’ off-platform conduct 1 month ago:
Lol league was extremely toxic in 2010 when streaming wasn’t a thing. I got sucked in and became toxic in 2011-2012 before I quit altogether. Best decision I ever made regarding video games.
It is the player base, not the streamers, that ruin the game.
But maybe this will help a little bit.
- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 1 month ago:
I am a bit younger so chicken & waffels and a few other CS:S servers were that for me. Also Day of Defeat Source was underrated.
Also, the minigame servers… The mini games people came up with!
1 person shooting cubes at platforms whole others had to stay up, The prison, Piratewars, Multigames (the original fall guys), Prop wars, The one where there were like different power ups behind walls and then have different abilities.
But also battlefront 2 was like that for me. SMD clan with its almost mythical figurehead. Glitching servers, shooting the shit with other people trying to find new glitches. Those were the days.
While matchmaking is good for some games like Rocket League, it has really broken a ton of communities. I think that’s why there aren’t really "clans’ anymore, because people aren’t together enough to organize.

- Comment on What type of game do you want to see? 2 months ago:
I want a new, modern Battle for Middle Earth 2 with better balance, modern graphics, and maybe different modes like quick vs longer form games. Definitely some reform like making it more difficult to build walls, but the walls stand up better to infantry and you really need siege engines.
The game was not balanced competitively (men so OP) but holy damn the battles felt epic and building your own forts and castles to defend was amazing.
- Comment on PC Gamer: The top 100 PC games 2 months ago:
Their entire list is odd choices except for the top 10 (even persona 5 is iffy as top 10 of all time)
They favor shooters and then place a game that had lost most of its audience in under a year as the best shooter other than doom 1 of all time.
I love helldivers, but it is a very niche game in comparison to so many others, even those on the list.
Not to mention KOTOR and DA:O as 94 and 95. Also prey is an extremely weird choice…
- Comment on Is martial arts really that useful? 3 months ago:
I just had a big fall on my electric bike this spring.
There was a brick sticking out of the brick bike path and I flipped over the handlebars into the street. It was the one day I forgot to grab my helmet leaving for work.
My hands got a bit cut up and my shoulder was slightly bruised, but I was completely fine! I only got a yellow belt in judo years ago so falling and basic things are all I learned, but that probably saved my ass from getting a hurt elbow, wrist, or hitting my head.

- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 4 months ago:
hexbear.net/comment/5253718 top comment, massively upvoted
hexbear.net/post/3232536 - more “all Ukrainians are Nazi rhetoric”
hexbear.net/comment/4594619 - more “the war is just a local conflict with everyone on Russia’s side” propaganda that is heavily upvoted. Objectively false. There is way way more nuance than that.
hexbear.net/post/3394475 - Russia never does anything wrong. It is just Americans who of course blame it on Russia
hexbear.net/comment/5113469 - Russia never does anything wrong. It is actually a conspiracy that Americans did it
hexbear.net/comment/5084604 - Russia can do no wrong. Russia is destined to win and take the lands they want to annex
hexbear.net/comment/5084494 - yet more Ukraine genocide rhetoric, straight from Russian propaganda
lemmygrad.ml/post/4112194 - literally regurgitating unsubstantiated Russian propaganda. Literally one person saying “if you just blindly believed Russian propaganda 100% of the time, you would be right 70% of the time”
hexbear.net/post/2763869 - “Russia is extremely generous with these terms”, they only have to give up their land to glorious leader of Russia
imperialism /ĭm-pîr′ē-ə-lĭz″əm/ noun
-
The extension of a nation’s authority by territorial acquisition or by the establishment of economic and political dominance over other nations.
-
A political doctrine or system promoting such extension of authority.
-
The power or character of an emperor; imperial authority; the spirit of empire.
Literally exactly the definition of Putin’s post-socialism authoritarian Russia…
Like “the enemy of my enemy” can only take you so far. Like when Putin blatantly poisoned a political opponent and everyone on hexbear was cheering them and saying “I’m surprised it took them this long”… Supporting a murderous regime because they happen to be against an exploitative corrupt regime doesn’t even seem like a valid solution to me.

- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 4 months ago:
Then what about when they constantly refer to the rhetoric as “truth” how Ukraine was full of Nazis that were genociding the Russian minority and how Russia invaded to save them and has committed exactly 0 war crimes?
I completely get that the US is not a good guy, most of western civilization was built on exploitation, imperialism, and subjugation of people. I even understand the great things China has done as far as huge quality of life upgrades for their people.
But Russia is only similar to china in that they propagate huge anti-US propaganda and technically support each other as an anti-US coalition.
Russia is also extremely imperialist, always has been, and literally has annexed (or tried to) multiple nations in the past decades, and is currently trying to do the same. Russia is everything that hexbear stands against, yet they unequivocally support them without any doubt.
Go say literally any critical things of Russia in hexbear. You will 100% be down voted to oblivion, if not banned. If you say anything against Putin being the greatest leader in recent history, you will be down voted to hell if not banned. I have yet to see any critical speech of Russia on hexbear that didn’t get removed or down voted so hard that the comment will never see the light of day.
I understand being Anti-US, but if Russia was in the US’s position, they would be just as bad if not worse for the treatment of people and propagating imperialism.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 4 months ago:
Maybe you can clear this up then:
Why does everyone there unequivocally, wholeheartedly, unquestionably support Russia?
Russia has barely a trace of communism anymore and it is hard right oligarchy that fits almost every definition of fascism.
Yet the “antifa” hexbear will literally down vote you to hell and ban you if you say anything even slightly bad about Russia.
Also news@hexbear is 80% articles about the war with everyone citing Russian propaganda as absolute truth and every western media, every human rights group, etc… is completely lying about the war.
An interesting juxtaposition as they are in the same way pro Palestine and cite those human rights groups as telling the absolute truth in that case
- Comment on What's your favorite controller? 4 months ago:
The steam controller is absolutely my favorite shape and feel for the controller.
The one big flaw is the plastic bumper mechanism that has broken on 3 of my units, 1 I was able to send back, 1 replaced with PETG 3D printed part which is less clicky, but more durable, and 1 still intact.
Still, I have exclusively used those for years when not playing on Switch

Megabyte Punch is a side scrolling fighting game where you build your robot with different parts salvaged from fought robots that give you different abilities and powerups.
It is a super fast, casual game that you can bang out in a few nights. It has a pretty good electronic soundtrack, boss fights feel weighty even if they are relatively simple.
One of my favorite games as far as just fun and de-stressing!
