Texas is a death cult desperately trying to convince everyone it is just another shithole.

It looks cool!

I keep almost biting on this one.

These games have great atmosphere, they play like an interactive movie that is still 100% an action fps.

I prefer the Stalker series, but they don’t reach the “cinematic” world building heights the Metro series does in terms of environmental immersion.

It isn’t but because time moves at the speed of light and we are viewing it from a slow as fuck perspective it appears wiggly to us because we couldn’t see it if it was straight, it would be too fast.

We walk by non-squiggly time arrows all the time in life we just don’t see them because they are too smooth for how quick they are.

I am fairly confident I will lose access to my ADHD medication under RFK and I am completely unconfident centrist corporate Democrats like Gavin Newsom will give a shit about actually addressing fixing it if one of them wins power after Trump. They will completely accept the narrative we are “overdiagnosing” ADHD put out by Republicans and keep helping Republicans move the goalposts until I am dead.

Why do memes about video games always assume it is men that play the video games and women that don’t understand? I don’t care if you can show that is the “status quo”, that doesn’t mean memes should relentlessly lean into and confirm gendering video games as specifically for men.

I am not specifically calling out this meme, it is harmless and fun by itself, it is the larger pattern I am talking about.

For the record I am a man who is guilty of doing this exact thing in video games, so yeah not throwing shade lol I just notice the pattern.

I didn’t send in my submission with malicious intent!

I sent it in with mAIlicious intent.

Don’t be too harsh on them, they are part of a religious cult known as Late Stage Capitalism.

Later after everything is dead and it is too late maybe we can re-evaluate but we should stick to moderate actions now and let them continue to destroy the planet to be safe and more importantly fair to everyone.

Good

I really do hate republicans, they ruin shit for no reason.

In my opinion there are two major differences between Windows and most Linux distros.

1. Capitalization matters to file names and such in Linux whereas in Windows it does not.

2. Linux thinks about permissions different programs and users have at a much more explicit level. It is a bit confusing at first why you have to keep interfacing with that part of the operating system, but it makes way more sense for programs to have permission to act in specific places for security and stability reasons.

Some other responses to your questions…

Steam can run windows games for the most part fine, just go into game properties and change the compatability setting to “proton hotfix”. I play Winspww2, an oldddd DOS game on Linux and it runs better than it does on Windows. I have also been able to install mods to Windows games on Linux by adding the mod installer to Steam and running it in Proton and then adjusting where the install folder is located.

You can pretty much have any kind of file system GUI set up you want in Linux. There are many file explorers and ways to do basic stuff like that, frame your questions by asking for Linux equivalents of Windows software you particularly liked and you will get good recommendations.

Yes but the question goes much deeper from there ending up at chimeras.

Reminds me of when President Vic Michaelis asked Hank about who has the most DNA.

Refining my Steam Deck control scheme for Cold Waters, I have been enjoying the expanded road system in Motortown which makes some taxi jobs a ~10 minute drive at full speed driving like a maniac it is very fun and I have been playing Operation Harsh Doorstop for my battlefield fix.

Also been messing around in Luanti more.

The sooner Microsoft dies the better for us all.

Luanti is in the Discovery app which is the stock flatpak repository gui app “store” that comes with the Steam Deck.

No reason for it to be on Steam really, but I wouldn’t be against it.

Leave Florida as soon as you can, it has no future and things will only get worse there.

Also I never realized hurricanes and out of control wildfires have great synergy.

I spoke to Lowman last March about wildfires in the Southeastern US, when she first explained to me the interplay between hurricane damage and wildfire. In September 2024, Hurricane Helene passed through millions of acres of forestland in Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia, leaving a graveyard of downed trees that dried out and provided ample kindling for wildfires. Two years later, much of the wood debris remains in parts of the forest — as does the fire risk.

“There’s a ton of old Hurricane Helene debris down in the woods,” Seth Hawkins, a Georgia Forestry Commission spokesperson, told the Current GA. “It’s lying around, and it’s just a tinderbox out there.”
