every new thing i learn about Star Citizen is like far sketchier than the last thing I learned about it.

first you’ve gotta compile a planet with an atmosphere for the sound to travel through before even thinking about playing the guitar

The Henry Stickmin Collection is a set of games that were on Newgrounds that is a choose your own adventure game with a ton of references to other things. From Marvel VS Capcom 2’s Ironman Infinite combo to Jojo.

It’s made by the same developers as Among Us

Needs more BonziBuddy

I was using Hack for a long time, but I think I’ll try out Borg Sans Mono and Inconsolata for a bit

If anything, I havent really touched those files in a while, so I probably won’t need anything from them. I think I got most of the files I regularly used converted to something Kirta can read before I switched. Thanks!

At this point, the only thing keeping me back is I have a bunch of files made in Clip Studio Paint that I can’t open in linux, but I think I might be able to run CSP in a VM, if needs be. Not really anything gaming related.

Now just to find time to do it lol

Maybe its finally time to get rid of my dual boot. I haven’t used the windows side in like half a year…

$ cat /etc/os-release

lmao never thought i’d see 🅱️in 🅱️enrose here

I’ve got Btrfs on my desktop for the OS drive cuz that was what Fedora recommended when I was installing it. It took a bit of effort to get snapshots working properly, but other than that, I’ve had no issues with it at all over the past year. I’ve got an exFAT drive and an NTFS drive in there that are kind of leftovers from using Windows. I’ve been thinking about reformatting the exFAT drive to ext4 or something, since all it really does is store games, and having the ability to symlink to it would be nice.

I’ve got a TrueNAS machine as well and that uses ZFS for pretty much everything.

Just another thing to consider with exFAT is that it doesn’t support having symlinks written on it. (for example, if your exFAT drive is located at /mnt/exfat, doing ln -s ~/Documents/cool-document.txt /mnt/exfat/ will fail) Idk if that’s a problem for your use case, but just so you’re aware.

I do have a drive that is formatted with exFAT that I made with the intention of having it be readable by both Linux and Windows, but I ended up not really using windows ever lmao. It should be fine if you’re just using it to store media

Man i was literally looking into laser cutters like 2 days ago and saw that Lightburn supported Linux. Guess that was short lived.

I’ve got a 7800XT now and I moved from a 1070 and I’ve been happy with it overall. I’m on Fedora and I bought the 7800 kinda close to launch, so I went through some issues that seem to have been solved by now. Nothing that really made me go “gee I wish I hadn’t switched”.

I don’t do anything related to streaming, or machine learning, so I can’t really speak to it’s ability with those, but gaming has been stable, and, aside from a now solved problem with rocm, it works fine with Blender cycles (at least on Fedora 40). Davinci Resolve has worked fine too. On launch, there wasn’t VAAPI support for AV1, but that works just fine for me now. (VAAPI is the open source interface for GPU video acceleration).

Currently, I’d say the experience is perfectly fine.

not me using up all 32GB of my RAM with firefox tabs lmao

true true. If the general business pressures are not conducive to proper software release practices, no amount of programming skill can help them.

they seem extremely competent at writing bad software

This is anecdotal to me, but I remember going to the mall a whole lot as a kid cuz my mom liked shopping at the stores there. Nowadays, she still shops at the same stores, but usually through their own websites. For me, when I learned how to drive and could go to the mall myself, it was probably only to go to a place like Gamestop, since the one in the mall was the closest to me. Again, online shopping, and especially being able to download games through like, Xbox Live, the eShop (and Steam, but I wasn’t really into PC gaming until much more recently) was much more convenient than having to drive 20-30 minutes to the mall.

EDIT: Another thing I remembered is that a Target opened up closer to where I lived, so it just became more convenient to shop there for stuff like cheap clothes vs brand name places like H&M. They also sold stuff you couldn’t buy at the mall like groceries, so it was more enticing, i guess.

Recently I went back to the mall I grew up around and it was a lot more empty. One of the really big stores that was there when I was a kid was Sears and they’re gone now, and that mall had a TON of space dedicated to Sears. No one has come to lease that space. The mall has a sprawling parking lot that’s mostly empty now.

I remember as a kid there were always like, crazy extravagant displays at the mall around the Holiday Season, and things like raffles where you could win a new car or something, but I don’t think any of that has happened there in recent years to nearly the same scale.

I wouldn’t say this mall is completely dead yet (I visited a different mall that had like, maybe 5 stores open and a lot of converted office space in it on a Saturday afternoon and that was eerie and dead while still being open to the public), but I think its on its way out.

mom said its my turn on the compooter so i can play video gabes
