Distro meat
  • Debian tends to be a liiiiitle bit behind Fedora and because gaming on Linux is accelerating in popularity, being ahead can provide big gains in performance.

    Can you manually handle all of that? Sure. I mean I have Mint on my side desktop with a custom Kernel but I recognize that I am dropping a V8 into a Mini Van.

  • Normal for a person, but not normal for him. We see him as a very passionate person before he gets his implant who treats the dulling of his emotions as a boon.

    I'd be shocked if the person influencing this writing of his character had never dealt with SSRIs or a similar medication.

  • Lower Decks Eulogizing
  • No Star Trek show loved Star Trek more than Lower Decks.

    I hope this is not the last time we see these characters. Between losing Prodigy and Lower Decks it has been sad for Star Trek as of late.

  • Rutherford upgraded his implant to be little more like Alternate Rutherford who had a super implant that also blocked out his emotions entirely.

    This wasn't a story about how his implant was bad at dealing with alternate universe versions of technology. His story was about how he had always used his implant to protect him from feeling emotions. Cranking it up slightly was all it took to finally block him from loving anything. Himself as he is, the Cerritos, Tendi. As soon as he took it out all of those emotions flooded in.

  • Voting for the lesser evil is still evil
  • In an American vacuum I could see where you are coming from. In comparison with literally the entire rest of the world, it is clearly a flawed standpoint.

    The American Democratic party is the oldest standing political party in the entire world. It last changed it's political stances in the 1960's and not because they wanted to, but because they needed to respond to the Republicans flipping the entire south in their favor.

    Other countries have real leftist parties that actually get government members elected.

  • Voting for the lesser evil is still evil
  • Biden was incapable of clearly communicating verbally for 2 hours straight in a debate. I'd argue that Biden stayed in as long as he did to enable them to feel empowered to force another Kamala on us rather than having to deal with a Warren, Sanders or even a Buttigieg winning the Primary. Kamala was 6th in line in the Primary when she dropped out in 2020.

  • Voting for the lesser evil is still evil
  • I vote for them, they move right. I don't vote for them, and vote third party, they move right. I join their party and vote in their primary's for progressive candidates, they move right.

    It's almost like a bunch of really old, well off, lifetime establishment government folks just actually want to be conservative authoritarians. At BEST they are stuck in a mindset of 1969's ideas of what progressive politics are because that is when they became politicians.

  • Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen’s early access launch weekend saw over 2300 concurrent Steam players
  • Every year they relaunch classic EverQuest time locked progression. They did that long before WoW did and WoW hired their studio lead to help them improve their implementation of it.

    I'm not recommending it, just saying you could still go experience it today. I'd maaaaybe recommend it over Pantheon but it is close.

  • Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen’s early access launch weekend saw over 2300 concurrent Steam players
  • It's EverQuest. If you liked Classic/Kunark era EverQuest then you might like this game. The gameplay is very simplistic and heavily leans into you needing to manually go out and build a group of people that have the right classes. You go to an area and kill the same mobs over and over for a couple hours and hope you get something neat or a level.

  • Astro Bot wins Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024
  • It's a 100% perfect addition to THE core combat light puzzle platformer games. It also has an age range of 0-99 by both having cute jokes and references that would appeal to older folks while never being even remotely offensive.

    Also yea, what else was there? Closest was make Wukong which primarily crushed the market because it again proved that the new or smaller studios can absolutely give a better AAA experience than the big studios these days by focusing on delivering a game not a storefront

  • Do you have any recommendations for casual games?
  • Same could be said for any game. The value mostly of a game is the controlled progression with little impact. If I go start power washing the driveway and then stop at a moments notice to go take a shower and head to work I'm gonna leave a giant mess laying around and a half done driveway.

  • 95% male platform go brrrrrrule
  • You have a common and problematic view of things. You asked if you are doing something wrong, it looks like you probably are. I'd advise you question your worldview a bit and talk honestly with folks you feel you can respect on how they got from where you are to where they are.

  • 95% male platform go brrrrrrule
  • Women are not a monolith and not all admiration of physical attributes is misogyny.

    If you see it as work or effort to not post online about random peoples physical attributes when you see a picture of them, then yea you should look at yourself a bit. It shouldn't feel like you deserve a reward for not being like that.

  • Name a game game: "...and then it ends with you fighting A GOD."
  • You are in a theater group and steal a magical princess. Yada Yada Yada, you find out your twin brother is using magic life mist to build an army of dolls... Yada Yada yada, the princess turns a castle into a giant robot to fight the doll army... Yada Yada yada, you go to your alien space ship to find all of your other clones, yada yada yada your clone brother kills you and the only way to realive is to kill Necron the god of death and then the game ends.

    Final Fantasy 9, the pinnacle of FF games doing this.

    Another favorite for me though would be Breath of Fire.

    You are a man, you become a dragon man, you find out you were always a dragon, find the goddess and have to chose between killing her or becoming a dragon god and killing your friends.

  • Anon plays spin the bottle
  • Middle school kids he mighta done nothing wrong at all. Those kids at that age are terrors and will oust people from a friend group for the dumbest reasons imaginable.

    Sucks because that person may have done everything right and years later still can't trust people or open up to them.

  • Allyship rule
  • Taking actions to be an Ally has risks for folks in some places. Where I am LBGTQA+ support is the norm and doesn't really need to be spoken and when it is I've never heard anyone in over 10 years say a negative thing.

    I have online though seen folks who try to speak up in Allyship of someone else get taken down. Subjected to purity tests by folks in an LGBTQA+ supporting community. It felt like the same bi erasure I've experienced and the same transphobia I've seen from parts of the LG community in the 2000s. It's like saying someone isn't gay if they haven't come out. All it does is lessen the crew.

    LGBTQA+ shouldnt be treated as a club with a rainbow dress code. It should be the future default standpoint of all of humanity.

  • South Korean parliament votes to defy president by lifting his declaration of martial law
  • I can't find a list of the workers they impeached but it looks like he was stacking the government with New Right folks who wanted to take Korea back to 1940 when it was a part of the Japanese Empire. Seems like a wild take. The impeachments came after a major change in the parliamentary makeup shifted power away from him drastically.
