I’ve been making a huge dent in my library since last year. I’ve fully completed over half of my 200+ library. I shouldn’t, but will probably get some new games to add to the decreasing backlog so that I can have more backlog to play! :P

Sometimes, I feel like the average Linux user is just on very old or at the very least pretty old hardware.

I know I am probably wrong, but it just seems odd that in X11 my 8 year old ultrawide 144hz 1080p monitor is literally a stuttery and jittery mess when moving windows, when animations play, and even moving the cursor around. I believe I tried playing a game, and it also being a stuttery mess, but I can’t remember as that was around 6-7 months ago.

Using Wayland, on the other hand, as soon as I logged in for the first time it was definitely noticeably NOT like it was in X11. Frame rate was 144hz, everything mentioned above just worked as I would expect. It even feels smoother than Windows which I still have to use every now and then. Gaming on it is a blast 99% of the time, and I game A LOT! (completed ~10 games on openSUSE Tumbleweed just this year!)

So, sometimes I just feel like I said, and as I also said, I’m probably wrong. I have never logged back into X11 except when I upgraded my graphics card a month or so ago because of the stuttery feeling of X11. Some things did work better under X11, I guess, but that is probably because of the stagnant adoption of Wayland?

Besides me using Linux since the beginning of this year until now, I am still a Linux noob, so my opinions are just that. I have no real knowledge of Linux that would qualify me to be any good source of info. I just don’t get the slow adoption is all!

I use StartAllBack (I guess it’s the same developer?) and love how it made File Explorer more robust again. :)

As someone who has been on Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed) for almost 6-7 months now, I still don’t understand how to get some of my programs running in Wine. I tried Bottles, and that’s a little better, but it still leaves MUCH to be desired. I have two SSDs in my computer, one Windows and one Linux, and that’s how I do some of my stuff. Lutris works for some things, but I generally don’t like having 3-4 programs that are trying to do the same thing, but it only works on 1-2 of those programs. In my opinion, it’s a little silly, but I’ve mainly just given up on trying to make all of that work and just boot into Windows when I need something done quickly without having to jump through hoops. I love Linux, but it is still lacking in some areas.

The best part about Linux, though, is that we can potentially fix our issues with a little bit of collaboration, whereas with Windows, you’re stuck with whatever M$ wants you to have. It’s something, at least! :)

I love PowerToys Run. The Command Palette is ass compared to it. PT Run is basically KRunner from KDE, and I’m absolutely here for it. Finding things (that you have properly indexed) is so fast and easy!

Unfortunately, with Nintendo, nothing is yours any longer. So, I expect these types of projects to be sniped in the coming years. I know and understand what you’re posting here, but Nintendo does not give a fuck any longer.

I forget what video I watched that explained this, but it essentially said:

“The audio mixing is correct. It is mixed for full surround sound, like those you see in home theaters (probably the very expensive setups!) and actual theaters. There is no reason to have dual-mixed sound, one for those with stereo speakers and one for the surround sound setups, so they don’t.”

It’s usually the most vile beings that get to live their life to the fullest…

hahahaha!

For real, I know they were under a lot of stress, but they were actively hostile those last few weeks they were here. Not just to me, but a lot of people apparently. I truly hope they are better now.

When I’ve had issues with things before, I was always told, “Well, life isn’t fair, now is it?” so…

LiFe IsN’t FaIr, NoW iS iT?

The game is using two engines. One, the original “brain” of Oblivion. Two, the Unreal Engine 5. The “brain” is doing all of the calculations and whatnot behind the veil, the veil is Unreal Engine 5 with all the pretty effects and textures.

Mods are already over 200 on Nexus for a game that just came out two days ago.

As an Oblivion fan, this seems like a buy for me. The only mods I’d need are some of the better vampire mods and maybe a Bag of Holding mod like in the original. Other than that, it looks pretty good!

On some games, like Fallout 4, the “HD” textures are free DLC. I don’t know why we can’t just do that for most games.

We’re three fucking months in, and people STILL don’t understand what they are. Three. Fucking. Months.

We got a lotta high level intellectuals over here, let me tell ya…

Probably the point, honestly. If they lose money from it, at least they made it worse for the cattle who stuck with it!

I used to like Hacker News. Then I started reading the unhinged comments that people leave on there, and immediately stopped using the site. I really only went there because of The Brutalist Report, but still. Fuck that, and those out of touch assholes.

I used to look into conspiracy stuff, and came out laughing at them after seeing the first tRump presidency, and realizing the government isn’t even smart enough to handle actual problems, let alone a “NWO” (“New World Order”). Sorry guys, incompetence all the way up!

P.S. I never fully believed them, but some of the stuff was interesting to think about at the least. Now, I don’t ever care about them because they make less sense than ever. Jewish space lasers, amiright?

The problem with using flat pack version of Steam for me was the weird folder structure for installing games. I like my stuff to be easy to remember and human readable. I.e. Home/Games instead of 726284783/737384/*installed game

Yeah. I see some people trying to talk down to those of us who just call them fucking idiots. “Well, is that any way to get them to see your point of view? How does that help any?”

My brother in Christ, we’ve tried doing that for the LAST 8 YEARS. If they haven’t gotten any more wise since then, and in fact doubled down for round 2, what the fuck else can you do but call the dumbass duck a dumbass duck?!

MSN is also terrible about this shit. I turned off their new tab garbage and replaced it with Bonjourr right before the election because of all the misinformation it was showing. Crazy we just accept this shit man.

As for YouTube, this is very easy to verify. Sign out of YouTube > CTRL+F5 > look at the top viewed videos

You will see what garbage most of the populace sees when they go to YouTube without logging in. I believe this is the real reason they don’t care if people log in or not. They can push the narrative while seeming like they’re being good guys by allowing you to consume content “for free”.

White collar crime is always ignored as long as it doesn’t rock the boat too much or isn’t stealing money from the wealthy.
