My take is that Borderlands 1 was boring, Borderlands 2 had decent game play but was held up by excellent writing and characterization and every Borderlands game since has been trying to recapture the magic of the second game but just feels hollow. They aren’t terrible, but they aren’t amazing either.

Garuda is built on the zen kernel and ships with KDE, I have been using it for a year now and it meets all my needs.

Absolute favorite is Outer Wilds. The only thing I don’t like about it is that I can’t experience it again. A true masterpiece of a game.

After that, probably Noita for sheer insanity. Deeply unfair, but getting a god-run going is that much sweeter. It took me ~100 hours to beat it the first time, now I can consistently win if I try but I’m addicted to doing stupid things to see what happens.

At one of my prior positions they outsourced all the junior engineers to this firm that only had windows desktop support experience.

Actual escalation I got:

contractor: I am trying to remove this file that is filling the drive but it won’t let me

me: show me what you are doing.

contractor (screenshot): # rm -f /dev/hdc

another one did rm -rf /var to clear a stuck log file, which at least did solve the problem he was having.

After that I sent out an email stating that I would not help anyone who used he rm command unless they consulted with a senior first. I was later reprimanded for saying I wouldn’t help people.

I had an Atari 800XL as my first PC with 2 5.25’’ floppy drives and a cartridge slot for which I had only 2 games: Pengo and Galaxian. On the floppy drive I was able to play a ton of games including Ultima 4, which really got me into fantasy RPGs.

A wonderful game, but I have always been fond of its spiritual predecessors: Starflight and Starflight 2: Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula.

My network guy yesterday: "I took down one of your gateways after fat-fingering a change that assigned it’s IP to another device "

Me: “Cool. Thanks for letting me know. Nobody complained. I’ll just resolve the alarms.”

I managed to get everything moved over except some google data, man they are bastards. I am happy to be a little more extracted from their ecosystem though.

Yeah, running /e/ on the new phone, so it isn’t an option.

They seem to load in but not anchored to the geometry (they appear far below the ground level). Support suggested it was either my nvidia driver or the window renderer (Qt).

Been happening to me as well. I can run it through Proton instead but there is a notable performance hit.

Unfortunate. Competition is generally good for the consumer and I’d hate to see one of more more customer-friendly storefronts go away.

Great Wolf Sif…

And now I’m crying, I hope you’re happy.

Full agree. I do want some kind of policy for games that introduce anti-cheat both during early access and after release. Bricking a game you paid for should offer some sort of recourse.

I’ve been using Garuda and I quite like it with the KDE Plasma 6 DE.

It’s a good time to migrate to Linux!

If you need to run the EA launcher, I found it works best in Bottles.

Same. I’d have stayed on Windows if Microsoft had just not been so determined to make using the OS so dreadful while also harvesting my personal data.

Same issues with frame stuttering on 555.xx and Plasma 6.1.1, but with 550.xx I was getting ghost frames in xwayland applications. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon, I really want nvidia to work with Wayland.

Except since 5.1 I get soft locks on loading screens running via Proton Experimental. I wish their native support wasn’t so awful and dated.
