Unpopular opinion: if I have to fudge with Wine instead of Proton, I simply will not bother. It’s 2024. I’m not going to fiddle with configs, or get a setup together just to play a single game. That’s ridiculous. A game should 100% be one click to run, whether it’s native or not. and if that’s not what is expected in 2024, Linux get it together. sincerely: a full time Linux gamer that is a single parent and doesn’t have time to fiddle just to play a game. Wine and most of its front ends need a major overhaul.

The shining. I watch it every year at the first snow. I’m afraid I won’t get that chance this year.

check on your boomer relatives. is it just me or can any other people immediately tell an AI photo because of the lighting and Depth of field is always wrong? Like it’s always off.

I love Odyssey’s giant Greek world. It may be because I love Greek history.

I’m nostalgic for Ubuntu when it still had Unity as default, and Linux mint around 2014. That’s when I began coding, and that’s the time I liked the look of them more than the current modern offerings. Plus there was more ease of customization it felt like

Neither does Memmy for Lemmy. Plus it has a cute name

I think they just want to kill Russians anywhere and everywhere. That’s one less that will come to Ukraine. I don’t blame them

people are shitty

Oh we’re seeing all the bad will caused by the CIA throughout the 60s-80s and countless wars in my lifetime finally catch up with us. People in the Americas and Africa have learned what we did in their countries to keep murderous despots in power in the name of fighting communism and protecting business interests.

All China and Russia had to do to get them to start flipping was a little money, and not even that in some cases.

I mean he’s kinda right if we don’t just commit to fully helping Ukraine instead of waffling with every budget, bill, and election.

But him saying that is a good way to motivate stubborn Americans, so he can keep on saying it. It’ll get us going.

Yeah I feel the same. Have you played possum country?

The Machine is better than a lot of that stuff lol

Yeah I guess I should revise my statement. I haven’t paid the full 60-70 price for AAA game in a very long time.

Indie games seem to be priced more fairly, most of the ones I’ve bought tend to be 20-25 dollars.

And I’ve never bought any kind of special edition, unless it’s an older game and it comes with all the dlc bundled, like oblivion GOTY edition or something.

But I’m also a /r/patientgamer so I don’t really see a reason to buy something just because it’s new and shiny, unless it’s some kind of multiplayer. But most of them have become such a quick burn where the player base drops after a year when the hype train moves to the next stop, I don’t really see the point in buying them

I’ve never paid full price for a game. Not in a very long time. And I don’t buy transactions. 🤷

Yeah I really hate how gamer culture has changed. It’s non stop bitching. Yeah there can be bugs in games, it happens. Lmao you telling me there were no bugs in the games I bought on disk twenty years ago and there was no infrastructure to digitally update them? I’ve got boxes of old pc games that I can use to prove this is just something that happens.

People act like there are nothing but bad releases anymore but 23/24 have had phenomenal titles. I’d say this is a great time for the industry as long as you’re not stupid enough to buy micro transactions and $150 collectors editions Lmao

I’ve always wanted a game that I could pilot from the planet to space and we’re here

I prefer launch no man sky to what it is now. Sometimes you don’t need a hundred features and multiplayer in a game. Sometimes you just want to calmly explore the universe and feel alone for a bit. Not have a million things to do and pop ups . I have enough of that in my life and other games

What I’ve seen from the average person, torrenting safely is for techies and most aren’t bothered with the effort of it. It’s a low hurdle that most people don’t want to waste time on. Building a local collection takes a shit ton of time. I’m currently rebuilding my music collection to roll my own music streaming server and I’m questioning the time value. But I’m sick of music I like getting deplatformed due to licensing

I like just good old gnome terminal. Theming scripts work well with it, like the gruvbox one that has like a hundred color themes. it’s got all the right features. just works

Currently, I have 3 DEs installed that I use regularly. Cinnamon, i3, and Unity. Cinnamon is for retro themes, and Unity is for a modern mac look after tweaks. and i3 is just nerd porn
