  • Wild. I've played the official one. Never knew this existed.

  • The OG Legion Go supports eGPU, at least on paper. It's one of the reasons I bought it. Mine runs bazzite fantastically, but haven't personally tested the eGPU piece yet.

  • Assuming this is true, A: why the fuck does Amazon have that level of surveillance on their tech staff? And B: Isn't DPRK supposed to be a starving, impoverished, technologically backwards country?  

    This isn't the win they think it is.

  • I feel like using Gentoo is cheating. Ubuntu was up to 5.04 in 2005.

  • Probably going to finish Skate Story. Might finally invest some time into Nier: Automata. At least some of this year's Cacowards.

  • Bread and circuses except you can't afford bread and the circus is this

  • Nobody is protesting, but imagine if they did!

  • No shit I thought that was custom and had to look it up. Turns out Chevrolet actually made a ute for a few years. This body type was invented in Australia AFAIK, I didn't think it ever made it to the States. Was really popular here, only really stopped being made in the last decade or so.

  • The split second before the orbital laser hits full power. Because fuck that person in particular.

  • When I lived within walking distance of my work, I used to try to take a slightly different route every day. Not by a lot, just a different side street here or there. You might see some cool street art or a nice flower or get to meet a friendly dog or cat. 

  • I mean if you're curious, spin up a VM and have a poke around. Why not? It can be useful to see how other distros do things. Power users might distro hop a bit trying to find one they "vibe" with in terms of update cycle, atomic and/or immutable, pre-packaged software and drivers, package manager, init scheme, glibc vs. musl, or any one of a bazillion other nerdy things. Some distros follow particular design philosophies, for example being intentionally packaged to be more barebones to run on lower-end hardware.

    The differences in day-to-day usage now are a lot less than they used to be, and a lot of it is functionally irrelevant for a desktop user. Things like flatpak and appimage mean more or less anything that runs on Linux can run on any distro. If you start moving outside of that and your distro's repos you might find some of the above stuff becomes relevant. Regarding desktop environments, some distros may only focus on making sure everything works cleanly and looks good in one or two, so installing a different one, though technically available, might not look and/or work the best. Available themes and colour schemes might be different (although you should be able to install those with varying degrees of ease), along with any distro-specific management software (OpenSUSE's YaST, for example, if that's still a thing).

    If you're happy where you're at, stick with it. Especially if you're new to Linux. By the time you run up against any potential limitations you'll have a much better idea of what you want out of a distro and you'll be in a better position to judge. Personally I've been thru Slackware, OpenSuSE, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, Arch (btw), Alpine, Ubuntu and a couple of the BSDs (not in that order). I've settled on Bazzite now because it does everything I realistically need to do on a daily basis with near-zero fuss. For weird shit there's always VMs or distrobox.

  • Or you could use a fork that strips out the AI shit.

  • "Am I a man who dreamed I was a butterfly? Or a butterfly dreaming I am a man?" -Musk, emerging from a k-hole.

  • You can tell they're USAmerican because they're being used for the most uncreative, homogenous, suburban hellscape buildings possible.

  • I didn't, I bounced hard off it after my first few encounters with them. That and the distance between save points. Which I get is to add tension, but it just felt tedious for me. Now I'm feeling like I should give it more of a chance.

  • I recently discovered Hearts of Space and I've been using it as background music for meditation. Huge back catalog and quite varied, likely you might find something suitable there. Also available via other sources if you don't like streaming 🏴‍☠️

  • Don't mantis shrimp have a ridiculous number of colour receptors? My guess would be there's something going on with the clam's reflective tissue that we can't see.

  • I wish I could have liked this one. I can tell it's good at what it does, but I just didn't enjoy playing it. The atmosphere is great, the character design is awesome, and the gameplay is exactly what you'd like if you like that sort of thing. I struggled to get my brain out of boomer shooter mode tho, especially given 

    how hard they emphasise "shoot the robots here".

    But then you try to do that and 

    it's actually really fucking difficult.

    Which is of course a standard horror game trope that I should have expected by this point but it just felt jarring. Between that and a few other things I found it more frustrating than scary.

    All that said, these things are adorable. I feel like plushies of them would sell really well. Which may have been the point. Sigh.
