was waiting for this one

Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 but I’d like to find a copy of Gundam Versus.

I’m on a big stompy robot kick.

I know a lot of folks hate GNOME but I’m running it (with Bluefin and formerly Bazzite) on a gen 3 Yoga X1 and it’s been easier to use the touchscreen than other DEs.

I think it’s probably less about restricting what you send and more about either making you use their cloud services so the data can be mined or a lack of desire to provide support for issues with local transfer.

either way, I believe it’s intentional as well.

finding ammo for these is tough in my area. i’m glad i have a little bit for my range trips but i’m going to be sad when i run out.

Started out trying to play F.E.A.R. platinum edition and Tomb Raider GOTY edition. I just don’t like story games… TR is far more story heavy than F.E.A.R. but both have plenty of cut scenes. I also feel like maybe TR was created during the peak of quick time events because the first half hour was just mash some button repeatedly to win the movie (the game uses the word “mash”, that’s not just me). I ended up playing Dead Cells and Gradius V instead. I suppose I just like more arcadey style games.

I finally finished downloading all the digital games I had for the PS4 that had single player content and disable the network connection in order to prepare for an eventual jailbreak, so maybe I’ll play DOOM 2016 this week. Never did finish it.

it was a joke. perhaps a /s was warranted. it could happen in any package manager/repo and I’d be surprised if it hasn’t yet.

i don’t use arch (btw).

I’ve been back on COD Mobile this week. I’m just doing F2P. They had a collaboration with Gundam so that drew me back in. The Gundam TDM mode is really nice.

Contrasting that: I got SmokePatch set up with PES 2021 (on Linux!). I moved from EA FC to eFootball when it became too much like a slot machine. while the 30th anniversary stuff in eFootball looks cool, it’s turning into a slot machine as well. SmokePatch doesn’t have any mtx, it has great community addons, and it retained Master League. Enjoying the immersion of my favorite team, their stadium, and commentary in my preferred language.

If I get a little more free time, I’ll finish the last three chapters of Fire Emblem Warriors. I just worry that my team isn’t leveled up enough yet, so I might have to do some stories in History Mode first.

I think nostalgia does a lot for those of us who were there. I don’t like some of the modern indies that build on the old games but I will admit they have some serious quality of life improvements.

Fast forwards, save states, extra details you’d normally find in a manual are in-game. Also, the controls are great. When I revisit some old games, I forget that we were really figuring out the best ways to use a controller and it was often very awkward.

The happy middle ground for me are when there are excellent ports of older titles like what M2 has done for a lot of games. Elevating the retro titles to modern platforms and adding enjoyable ergonomics.

docker?! i hardly knew her!

we lost our local radio station last year as the owner aged out. I’m worried about who will acquire that slice of the spectrum.

there is a college station still in a neighboring town at least.

it’s alive and well. schedules are often posted on hfunderground.com

these “ai bad” posts are getting so tiring. they just feel like upvote farms these days.

grumpy graybeard/neckbeard here but bazzite and bluefin feel like what I wanted out of Linux 25-30 years ago and I’m so glad we’ve reached this point.

I’ve tried pretty hard to make the switch to grayjay but there’s always some snag for me. Sometimes grayjay related, other times service related. I hope the project continues to grow. for the moment I’ll be sticking with newpipe and freetube.

the other futo projects are pretty neat, too. the android keyboard works really well.

I’m on a fire emblem warriors (3ds) kick.

Hopefully some of their older actions will be listed in the future as well like the rental store manual copying debacle and that sort of thing. Would be neat to see some of the historical issues.
