God forbid a fascist authoritarian government known for cyberwarfare be banned from working on the Linux kernel.

You could always use Waydroid as an emulator for whatever Android apps you can’t do without

Unfortunately, I bet HR will still filter out tons of them for bullshit excuses so it takes a year to fill out positions

When the PS2 released, it was a cheaper blueray player than the current iteration of retail blueray players. People would buy the console just to watch movies.

Tbh, I think Valve needs to design an addon for the Steam Machine that’s a blu-ray player that hooks onto the side or bottom, and add support for running blu-rays from Game Mode. It wouldn’t require any extra ram or storage, so it wouldn’t fluctuate in price but add value

I foresee a future of jail broken PlayStations

To be fair, that future is now. People are already hacking PS5’s to turn them into Linux machines

But why Ubuntu? Fedora would have made far more sense.

Fyi, I’m pretty sure the duck rape thing is specific to mallards. But I’m not an ornithologist

Ooh, I’m gonna try to use this one

or at least not plan on being there for very long…

Especially since maintainence will become a nightmare before long

Except it doesn’t work you knob

The engine overhaul for Starfield definitely took a lot of time. I still want to see what they could do with it in an ES game, or even porting older games into the new version.

I think it’d be cool if they used some procedural generation to place trees in forests, so you could cut or burn some down and have the forest naturally grow back over time. Or officially add in seasons

I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t think that was a risk. Bethesda-style games take awhile to make, and they only have gotten longer. They used to be 3 years between releases between Arena, Daggerfall, and Morrowind. Then it was 5 years between Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. And now it’s been over 15 years since Skyrim. And Fallout hasn’t been much better, with Fallout 4 releasing 10 years ago.

And there’s 2 main reasons for the dearth of Bethesda releases: Bethesda really needed to split into 5 teams: 3 creative teams for their main franchises (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Starfield), 1 for programming (Creation Engine updates, bug fixes, etc.), and 1 for finishing (Q/A, clutter). Right now, almost everything needs to go through Todd Howard. They need to instead have Todd be in charge of 1-2 creative teams, and have other people take the reigns of the others because Todd only has so many hours in the day.

They could probably get back to releases every 3-5 years for each franchise and have enough wiggle room to take chances with delegation

A bad ending can absolutely restrospectively destroy the experience of an otherwise good story.

Don’t forget The Witcher 3, where bad end is on par with Mass Effect 3 and the logic to get it is really dumb and poorly telegraphed.

I still have CDPR (and by extension GOG) blacklisted. They burned me on that entire franchise and wasted a ton of my time. As far as I’m concerned, they owe me a game yhat doesn’t suck.

Then go read my comment and make an actual argument

That makes it pretty clear why you’re wrong. You’re too lazy to read what you were quoting. Be better.

but this is the same way of thinking that has led to big budget, story focused games getting padded with repetitive fetch quests and annoying collectibles that unlock progression.

There are literally orders of magnitudes of difference between making an indie game last 3-4 hours vs a bloated AAA 100+ hour collectathon. Comparing the 2 isn’t an honest arguement

Ubuntus not bad if you are a noob because it is really easy to google for and figure stuff out,

Counterpoint: some of the advice out there is so old that it doesn’t work due to the command formatting having changed

Joke’s aside, TheDude was doing an update of the server earlier today

Your reading comprehension is lacking.

I was referring to current governments, and even noted that revolutions change that.

“Aquisition of Sovereignty” doesn’t fit that definition.

“Date of last Subordination” is closer, but still not correct (US is #3 oldest in this category btw)

Check the 2nd section titled “List of countries by current form of government”. Aka, exactly what I was referring to. And it turns out that the only country the US government is younger than is San Marino.

Turns out that colonialism, 2 World Wars, and the Cold War weren’t particularly conducive to longevity of governments
