  • Tri gun: Original or stampede?

    Jump

  • I need to watch it. I avoided Stampede since the art style is so different compared to the manga but it's supposed to incorporate much of the manga that the original anime diverged from. So it's worth watching both. Like old fairy tales that have a bunch of different takes on them that people enjoy numerous of

    Original at least for the art style and mood and music. 90s anime has art and music much different than today. Like Cowboy Bebop and Hajime no Ippo would sound way different and way different lighting today if remakes today happened with some story changes. Trigun Stampede people seem to like and people seem to accept both aren't 100% faithful manga adaptations

  • System76 Continues Driving More Improvements Into The COSMIC Desktop

    Jump

  • I've tried running it twice full-time and ended up going to Kubuntu. My bad on judging KDE Plasma from my experience with it when Plasma 5 was new. I just used Gnome all this time. A decade later KDE is actually what I was hoping Cosmic would become someday. Really polished up compared to early Plasma 5 days

    I still keep pop_os on an old laptop to monitor progress. I like it. Just needs a lot more fleshing out

  • Epic Games App Now Available Globally on Android

    Jump

  • It's been a year and there's still no library view. Just scroll a long page of all the games available in the store where the games you own are mixed in. At this point I feel like it's got to be an idiotic intentional design choice to hope users spend more money during the time it takes to find the games they own

  • GOG plan to look a bit closer at Linux through 2026

    Jump

  • An official API for third parties to pull games/ownership would be ideal to me. So handheld/TV environments could pull those for a launcher. Shouldn't be so reliant on Steam for a good TV/handheld environment. Should be store agnostic

  • Do we need more users ?

    Jump

  • Edit: One thing I notice that is annoying are whatever conflicts between moderators and instances and seeing communities close with a message saying to join some new community on another instance. We're too small to be restarting communities because of whatever arguments mods have with instance admins. Most people do not care what instance they are on. I'll see people stereotype others based on what instance their account is based on and I'm at a loss that some people have already tribalized themselves based on fediverse instance they made their account on

    The best stuff on social media is random hobbies. That needs to grow a lot. We want the people that are really into random stuff. Like maybe they're just really into fallen tree branches and for some reason there's a community out in the world all about fallen tree branches, we should want that. Over on reddit I enjoy the treelaw community. Get to learn about peculiarities of trees and property

    As a start, fediverse would be nerdy. Going to be tech and privacy nerds. Gamers. Great, grow that. Be active. Get the food communities growing. Get the gardening communities growing. Bird watching. Whale watching. Train watching.

    I remember earlier reddit. Like 2007-2010 for me. Back then it was nerdy as hell with a growing gaming and professional sports watching communities. A lot more comedy that wasn't global politics centric.

    Lots of science, tech papers got big discussion and were the foundation for the community to grow. They had hobbies. They watched sports. Played video games. Gardening. Cooking. They'd talk about that too. Fun/educational communities

    We have to be a lot more than just politics and grouches. If I just went by the grouches opinions TikTok would just be propaganda and then I see friend's on it and it's mostly cooking and comedy skits. Lots of anime memes. -- Growing the anime/manga community would be pretty big for the fediverse. Anime/manga fandoms are hyperactive posters

  • As The Division 3 development continues, Ubisoft announces layoffs at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm as part of 'a proposed organizational restructure'

    Jump

  • Too many games every year to play anything from Ubisoft

  • [Steam] Save 90% on GreedFall on Steam

    Jump

  • It's a solid game. I don't remember how any of the plotlines resolved just that they were abrupt and weirdly clean endings. Still it's the closest in feel to kotor era bioware for me. Writing is not great and gameplay isn't great. Neither are bad though. It's a significant level above what Piranha Bytes were doing with Risen as ELEX in the AA RPG space

  • You can Google your city and distance to closest GeForce Now data center or other video game streaming service. I'm like 300-400 km away from a data center hosting geforce now

  • Aeryn OS Continuing To Focus On Tooling & Infrastructure In 2026

    Jump

  • Don't know what's special about this one. Ikey Doherty though is well known for starting new distros. Managing to get them into a relatively stable and semi-popular state. Then leaving and starting a new distro. Seems very capable. No idea what happens behind the scenes for him to keep dropping out from the distros he founds

  • AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028

    Jump

  • Depending on location. Same city 3 years ago no data cap. Current neighborhood first had a data cap that had overage fees or pay an extra $50 a month for uncapped. Now with a service provider that does throttling after a point during congestion

  • AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028

    Jump

  • Depends on how close you are to the server and your Internet connection. For me when my Internet isn't having a bad day, the latency is good even for twitchy shooting games. I wouldn't rely on it for a competitive game full match length, but anything single player is good. Pretty much anything that isn't super fast paced twitchy is good. GeForce Now is how I first tried Cyberpunk path tracing. Worked great

    I remember trying out games on GeForce Now, Gamepass, and Luna around the same time. GeForce Now and Luna latency wasn't a problem for me. Gamepass was frequently really bad

    I'm not subscribed to anything anymore. Just wanted to try them out. Only when there's a deal. Forgot to subscribe for one month 50% last month so I'll wait again. Probably a summer month when I want to game but not use my desktop

  • AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028

    Jump

  • GeForce Now performs well but it's already seeing further limits put in place. Gamepass already saw price hikes. Amazon Luna has a terribly small library. Smaller players have to buy GPUs, memory, and processor's too and contend with AI data center induced rising power costs. Plus data center location matters a huge amount and that's still a work in progress for game streaming services and a lot of the world

    Plus my Internet throttles after like 1.5TB a month. Fine for ~15mbps Netflix. Not so good for ~100mbps game streaming. Others have data caps or overage fees. There certainly are those with uncapped/unthrottled internet. I wish my neighborhood had that

    Game streaming is going mainstream going to get worse short term too. Mostly pricing and worse usage limits

    A midrange phone these days are power competitive with a PS4. Makes more sense for Steam's future support android APKs because of the Steam Frame to make way for Steam to be an Android game store and devs target Switch-PS4 hardware on the low end and PS5 mid/high end. Don't even entertain the idea of a PS6 level min requirements game for a game releasing this decade. Probably not even for the first half of the 2030s

  • I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop

    Jump

  • It's funny to frame it as bravery. Maybe that's clickbait strategy. Regardless desktop Linux is great. Only a handful of kernel level anticheat games are a problem. No you don't need adobe suite for your YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok influencer aspirations. Even open source applications that don't stack up to Adobe or Avid or whatever exceed what's needed to succeed in social media. More than enough for what amounts to solo projects

  • PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru

    Jump

  • I have a PS5 that I rarely turn on. Everything ends up on PC. PC handhelds better than a PS Portal. To phone streaming everything supports. Playing PC games on Android is a thing now. Switch handles party gaming. No replacing Mario party/kart/tennis/strikers/golf. Nintendo IP party games are OP

    What I'm interested in are the insights the PS5 will give into PS4 architecture. PS5 is backwards compatible and seeing what the PS5 does to accommodate any problematic games in BC. PS4 emulation over 5 because 4 is well along. PS5 is deep in the no console exclusives era. Early PS4 still had semblance of third party exclusives and Japanese games skipping PC

    I unplugged the PS5 Ethernet port just in case I ever want to do something in the future. I doubt it besides possibly future of running Linux on it. It'd make a great gaming PC someday as a gift. People always talk about exclusives as a reason for consoles. I play way more games on PC that aren't available on consoles. Too old and abandoned. Too indie so it may not show up for years if ever on consoles.

    Hopefully the Xbox series X gets jail broken someday too. They'd be great values for gaming PCs

  • PC Gamer: make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop

  • I feel the same. Like I care very much for how my paragraphs look in size relative to each other for reasons of flow, style, and readability. Writing that on a phone is problems for mapping to printed paper/PDF

    Other people I've met though do not care at all as long as they get an assignment in. Work I don't think I've ever seen anyone write a report on their phone at least

  • PC Gamer: make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop

    Jump

  • In 2010 MacBooks were joked about as expensive Facebook machines. Web browsers. I legit think Linux desktop can grow within a shrinking PC market (mobile induced shrinkage). Also I was still surprised the first time a friend told me they wrote an essay for a class on their phone. People are really proficient on their phones these days
