I remember almost choking because I was laughing so hard at “Everybody Poops” and how Fergie was notorious amongst the Peas for having such horrible bowel issues.
Whenever someone references the book, I basically always follow it up (sometimes silently) with “and if you don’t you’re an android and should be destroyed”
I’m so tired of oughting to have the shit scared out of me 4 times per day
I feel like the last 30 years of Star Wars movies could qualify here
I’m not vouching for SteamOS as a permanent OS. I’m just defending the strengths of a corporation-maintained distribution of Linux as an introduction to Linux, of which I think SteamOS has many. After being introduced, I think more people will get curious about other things they can do with Linux. It’s really just that starting hump that people need to get over
Btw I appreciate the brief explanation. I was actually having trouble with that sort of thing myself on Bazzite the other day and I was curious why SteamOS differed from Fedora on some specific things.
Just like meth! :D
I love running Elden Ring in the terminal. Hells yeah, foul tarnished
That’s so disappointing to hear. DOOM and DOOM Eternal not only run fucking fantastically on the Steam Deck, but they look fucking gorgeous on it too.
I had my suspicions that Microsoft would fuck something up and now my suspicions say that this is it (and I hope this is the extent of it)
I see all of these “Why SteamOS and why not another distro?” comments and it kinda blows me away how much the idea of approachability designed by a trusted name seems like a foreign concept here.
Then again, we’re talking about Linux fanatics who probably also argue over whether emacs, vim, or vi are the best text editor lol
Approachability. Valve is a recognizable name and the Steam Deck is notoriously usable in the sea of Linux uncertainty.
Before you say “Linux is totally usable, just look at <examples>” the first question people are prompted with is “What distribution do you want to install?” and there is no singular place that says “this is what you want for this specific use case.”
Valve is not the first name in Linux gaming, but they are a known and trusted name. It’s not just about brand recognition but about trusting a name to guide you through something brand new and extremely daunting. For the vast majority of PC gamers, SteamOS offers a guided introduction to something that previously was stereotyped as complex and difficult to learn.
Is it the best distro? Probably not, but then again it’s extremely easy to migrate from SteamOS to something else when someone discovers they want something else. Until they understand enough about Linux to find that they want something else, SteamOS is currently one of the best ways to get them there
As someone who uses my desktop for gaming (and maybe web browsing) exclusively, and as someone mildly but not very familiar with OSes, I read this as “SteamOS is bad because of reason I personally don’t like that many people don’t understand, so do more research about Linux”
The barrier to Linux as an OS is not how good it is but how understandable it is. After Pewdiepie’s video went up I’m confident the search phrase “Linux OS download” skyrocketed in popularity because people don’t know let alone understand what a distribution is.
SteamOS is a great intro to Linux for the majority of PC gamers because it’s not only basically ready to use as soon as you boot it up, but also because it is being maintained by a team of people intent on making it the optimal PC gaming platform.
Once Windows users are introduced to a basic Linux experience why not let them take their time learning more about the variables in distros?
Maybe SteamOS is not the perfect distribution because <list your gripes here> but is there a perfect distribution?
Thanks. This is what I was looking for
In all honesty, Rainbow Six: Siege is as ungrindy as any game could be, and it is as endlessly replayable as there are combinations of all the active players. The whole game is about finding ways to use the deep sandbox to outsmart your opponent, utilizing yours and your teammates abilities in unique combinations and it’s wonderful
Titanfall 2
Very. It’s extremely similar to the first in many ways but has loads of improvements that refine what was already there. It’s like Borderlands 3 compared to Borderlands 2, or Arkham Knight compared to Arkham Asylum.
Additionally, the story is great, if a little bit rushed. Having not read the comics I greatly enjoyed the development of the black suit and the symbiote storyline as something relatively fresh compared to the 90’s cartoon and the Toby Maguire movies
Did your laptop survive?
If you have 2 hours that you just really fucking hate and want them to suffer, watch “Fateful Findings” on Youtube. Someone uploaded it and since Neal Breen publishes and distributes all his own movies, Youtube doesn’t scan for them as copywritten.
What a bold-faced clearly obvious motherfucking lie.
Rockstar has released only 2 full games in the past 13 years because everything they’ve done since then has been funded by microtransactions. The price of entry is negligible to them when whales pay for multiple copies of the game every fuckin month.
Why do we tolerate it
The person who ceaselessly bashes their head against a brick wall hoping to knock it down will accomplish one thing, and it’s not knocking the wall down
I tried playing Fallout 4 and gave up because of the obstinate mouse acceleration. Tried it in VR and had a good time but the story didn’t hold me.
Is New Vegas worth my time? Should I start with 1 and/or 2 for the atmosphere and world building? Is 3 worth the effort to get into?
For the longest time, I saw this art in Gamestop and assumed it was a game about mining and was confused as shit why it was rated M
