I’m currently playing Astrox Imperium. The dev was out of communication for a while and is now back, though he is going to finish it up as best he can and then later on make it open source since I guess he’s burned out on it or something. It’s a game I really like. It’s a sandbox space trading/combat single player game that is often referred to as “Eve Offline”.
It’s also early access, so it will presumably help with it being a bit shallow. There are a surprising amount of things locked behind various mechanics that I’m starting to stumble across. For example, if you’re a jerk to people enough your karma score will fall and now you have access to rifle through vending machines looking for loose change or robbing an ATM. I have a feeling there are a lot more of these kinds of things to discover.
Just getting out of the Sims price hell is worth it for me. I’ve had some good experiences with early access games in the past so I’m reasonably upbeat about what may come down the line.
I would characterize it as “hit or miss”. It works great for me on Ubuntu and I can’t remember any problems I’ve had in the last few years anyway. I’m not on Wayland yet, though. I would recommend AMD GPUs to people though myself to avoid them hitting the “miss” part of “hit and miss” phrase.
Preparation for real life, I guess. There’s no win condition that I know of :)
I am of the opinion that no one should be vandalizing property that they don’t own themselves. Protest, sure (following whatever laws Canada has in place for that), don’t buy a Tesla, sure, encourage everyone you’ve ever met not to buy one, fine, but please respect the right of people who don’t want their stuff vandalized.
Also, while dealerships have insurance, doing this just makes the insurance go up for everyone. But that’s not my point. People shouldn’t vandalize the property of others because they really, really, really x5, don’t like Elon.
I’m not an Elon or Trump apologist, I’m just someone fighting on the side of civilized behavior.
I can’t believe this is so controversial, but people shouldn’t be blamed for buying one even now. It’s just a car. If people hate Elon (not a big fan myself), then don’t buy one. But respect other people’s right to buy what they want and leave their shit alone.
I wish “live and let live” was still a thing. We might not be so polarized if it was.
I put a lot of quarters into Xevious in high school. Way too many.
I’m not saying we should kill them. I’m saying we should use the possibility of that being on the table to make them pay their taxes.
I’m guessing most of them do pay their taxes. There are just lots of loopholes that have been lobbied for by the rich that they are using that their expensive tax accountants find for them. Instead of whacking billionaires, maybe get rid of the tax loopholes that let them pay so much less in taxes as compared to their extreme wealth.
Skyrim and Satisfactory.
Whatever you think about Trump, the person that demanded the other person remove their hat because they didn’t like it was in the wrong.
Instead of thinking of it as competition, think of it as people simply reminding others that “all rape is bad” or “all hate crimes are bad”.
I use NVIDIA gpus and they have worked fine for me.
If they don’t like their “tax evasions”, then they should change the laws and remove the loopholes that allow it. I’m not a supporter of a wealth tax (i.e. being taxed on something repeatedly because you still happen to own it) no matter who it is that would suffer from it that we all collectively dislike.
The other side of that coin is to allow people to question your beliefs and to actually think about things when they do.
Those two things together is what will really help, imo.
Bodhi Linux. I have an old System76 Starling netbook that stopped working after some updates left it in the dust. I think it had a netbook version of Ubuntu on it originally. Years later I installed Bodhi Linux on it (since it was supposed to be good for low spec machines) and I currently use it as an Angband terminal, a photo slideshow device, and occasionally surf the web with it just because I can :)
I’m amazed at how well it works with an Intel Atom processor, 2GB of ram, and a 250GB disk drive. Kudos to the Bodhi Linux team.

I must be lucky. I’ve been using Linux (Debian then Ubuntu then PC Linux OS then back to Kubuntu) since approx 2002. I don’t remember ever having to reinstall my OS because an application borked on install or otherwise. Reboot, maybe, but it was normally fixable. I have been annoyed at my favorite apps disappearing in a new release and having to change my workflow, but that’s about it.
Even all the pain I had to go through to get X11 working correctly in the early days didn’t require reinstalls.
I just want to know why they did it.
I rather liked The Immortality Thief by Taran Hunt.
I’ve just started playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma from the collection on Steam. I played this back on the XBox Legacy and never got that far. Now I’m playing around in Normal difficulty trying to learn the tells and come up with better ways to handle things. Still in Chapter 1, it’s been 25-30 years since I’ve played it and I never really got gud back then.
