I bought mass effect legendary edition from epic last year, it was super cheap and I never played. I finally installed it a couple weeks ago and am playing the first game. It’s a great game, but the drm infrastructure is really frustrating.

To play the game, I need to:

Don’t click the desktop icon it installed for me, nothing will happen Start EA app Don’t click the icon on the side, nothing will happen Click on library Click on game Ignore the helpful hint to use the icon on the side to save time Click on launch This starts the epic store This then starts the mass effect launcher Click launch on the game I want While the game is loading, the epic store will now steal focus back and I need to alt-tab back to the game Now I can play the game and it works fine

It really makes me think about pirating the other games instead of continuing this bs. Plus I should be able to then play them on Linux instead of needing to boot into Windows to play.

Gaben was absolutely correct in saying that piracy is a service problem.

That sounds like a good mix of things I like, how far along in development are you?

If you use refind why bother with grub? Isn’t it superfluous?

Xenophobia

I recently started buying Tillamook, and it is sooo much better than the other brands. It kind of ruined the other brands for me now, I’ll buy them on sale and then be disappointed that I did when I eat it.

The acronyms in question are defined in the article, ysrcrtabr, you should really consider reading the article before replying

that’s where you can find the BFG in this early level

Don’t text while you are driving. What the fuck?

Never heard of that, but I’ll look into it. The one I read was a short story in Analog, maybe 15 years ago

I read a cool short story a few years ago that really embraced that quote. It started out as a fantasy story with wizards doing magic. It then turns out that magic is actually old nano machines or something, but society has forgotten all about the science behind them.

I had an s3 virge card. Amazingly bad, it basically was no faster than cpu rendering, but looked a bit better. I spent so much time trying to trick games into running on it.

Probably not. Since the point of money is to be able to buy more and better things, there will always be a desire to have more money, even if nobody else cares how much you have.

Maybe billionaires just have faster heart rates

Frackin censors

It’s a shame that gay guys have such a monopoly on butt stuff

In this case your entire argument about the election is moot. If I vote for a president, their actions are not mine, I am not going to Gaza to kill Palestinians. You can even go a step further, neither Harris nor trump is personally going to Gaza to kill people. The choice of killing Palestinians is up to the Israeli people who are doing the actual killing.

You should always run a full upgrade when installing a new package to make sure your versions are all in sync. Like if your new package is looking for version 1.1 and you have 1.0 installed, the new package won’t work. In general, everything should be installed with ‘pacman -Syu’ not just ‘pacman -S’

If you don’t install any new packages, then no you don’t need to upgrade anything. You’re just missing out on security patches and upgraded features. It’s worth running occasional upgrades.

They aren’t old, they’re right around my age!

Shit

That happened to me too, but they automatically sent me a replacement. I now had 2 huge rugs, so I just returned one for a refund.

Yes, definitely. My kids play a lot of fortnite because that’s how they talk to their friends after school. Some of my friends I only talk to while gaming because we don’t live near each other.
