Another person of refinement and good taste, I see. Both gone way too early. I have been rationing Discworld since Pratchett died.

It’s always great to see someone scratch their own itch, so kudos. However, I’m curious what the actual pain point is? Does your mouse not sample fast enough? Noticeable input lag on a gamepad? Seems like this would be a bug with the implementation if it needs to be overclocked to fix…

This made me laugh. This is the same shit we’ve been doing for 100 years. “Illegal orders” aren’t a thing when you use your imperial military to do imperialism. The last time we had a President that wasn’t a war criminal was never.

I have this setup with Plasma, and it is probably easier to do this at the Linux level. I added this to my kernel command line: drm.edid_firmware=DP-1:edid/lg-ultra.bin video=DP-1:3840x2160@60e

Where that EDID file I dumped from a spare monitor using a method I got here.

Anyway, it can be tricky to pick the right device, but I can confirm Sunshine sees it and works properly, and it can be managed like a normal monitor.

I have been a user since around 2000, I work in Linux every day, and I get where you’re coming from - but in the context of gaming Linux has really only recently come into its own.

Like, could you imagine, circa 2010, telling a naive user that practically their whole Steam library would work with one click? Wine has always been a minor miracle, but at some point there was an inversion between being surprised when it worked, and being surprised that it didn’t work…

I burned a Blu-ray a few years back just to supplement some of our encrypted Google Drive backups with copies that would be more accessible in case of my demise, or physically grabbable in case of disaster. I know they won’t last forever, but if Drive shut down on the same day my local copies failed at least I have an option.

Otherwise, I haven’t used physical media in years. I got the 4K LOTR set when it came out and tried to use it, but it ended up being easier to just pirate the rips like anything else.

To be clear, I just mean release as in B42 becoming available as default. Their long term plans are great though, I look forward to playing them in 2030 haha.

I haven’t played multiplayer, but Build 42 is really shaping up. Game is getting more survival-y in that you can make a lot more stuff from components (ore, clay etc.) and there is real wildlife/ livestock to make more food craftable from renewable post-apocalyptic sources. The lighting has been overhauled, some older areas have been revamped to be more realistic, buildings can be much taller. They even added a bit of randomness to the map with random basements. I’m really hopeful this patch gets guns right too, they’ve improved previously but still take way too long to become viable IMO.

They must be pretty close to official release, it’s really getting there.

So traditional it’s like a Norman Rockwell painting.

I put this on expecting a trainwreck and a cash grab too, but it still had me laughing my ass off. It really felt like they understood why the originals were so funny.

Yeah, my parents are still basically the same liberal Democrats they were when I was a kid. Meanwhile I’ve gone farther left and the rest of the family mutated into a virulent strain of fascist.

I used the communicator chime for a long time, but these days I’m basically permanently in do-not-disturb. My phone only makes sound when a close contact calls, or for a timer/alarm. Anything else can wait.

I never had an issue with Lutris + a pirated copy. It’s trivial to find the anadius rip around in a torrent. Fuck the EA launcher.

I love that song and yeah, nailed it.

I’ll bite. Austin, TX circa 2007. Sublet. Moved my (now) wife and one year old into a one bedroom, one bathroom house the size of a shoebox. Cooled by a single window unit, had to steal wifi, and roaches crawled in through the gaps under the doors.

Ironically, it’s now a fond memory. First place I lived with my new family, it was just for the summer, we had cool neighbors and were like 200 feet from a bunch of really cool local businesses.

By myself, probably Apollo 13 - I used to watch it like once a day over the summer. With my dad, we watched Predator every time my mom had to work late.

Also, does anyone seriously think they’d do this without some sort of carve out for Steam to work? I can’t imagine a worse idea at this time than for a desktop oriented distro to break the gaming use case that hard.

It’s more of an issue with torrent seeding. You need to be able to accept incoming connections to seed, so you need a VPN/router to allow incoming traffic to a certain port to reach your torrent client.

So, not a problem for leeching, but if you are trying to meet ratio requirements, could be a big problem.

Probably due north.

Hey, that’s great. I’m not sure it’s a way to reach full communism, but good on them.
