I ultimately don’t think he’s a bad guy so I’m rooting for him to show us wrong.

I think he always just believed in his vision too much and didn’t realise that he and his team couldn’t end up delivering on it. And then he’d be so excited about what he’s working on that he just couldn’t not share it with others. I don’t think he ever intended to mislead.

I know there’s the milo thing but with that I feel like he still thought they could do it in the end but Microsoft just needed something right there and then to show. I think that issue ends up more squarely on whoever sold him on what the hardware could do and he had not yet fully hit those walls of limitations enough to realise they weren’t coming down at all. (I also think this goes for Sean Murray too when he did the talk show circuit that Sony put him on - although without the hardware stuff and more on whether or not they could deliver on time since they’ve shown what they wanted was actually possible with future updates)

If you are able to i think ensuring they’re installed on different drivers alleviates most issues

Be careful, windows can fuck up some dual boot setups and make the Linux side worse

I agree with your statement by the way except for this is also politics

No, the rest are a combination of ones not been verified yet and ones been proven false.

A lot of my recent experiences have been with arch and because it’s always up to date and AUR being as expensive as it is, I always seen to find an easy way to install something, even third party stuff. I’ve never hit any of the issues people have with saying an update can break your system yet, but then again I only install what I need and always uninstall stuff that I either installed accidentally or no longer need.

I tried fedora with nobara for a bit because I liked bazzite, but it wasn’t for me. I got too used to what’s available to me via arch or at least being used to know where to look for that stuff on arch vs fedora

Like I said, I play quite a bit of multiplayer games that work fine. Just not the shitty live service with awful kernel level anti cheat ones which you would never have caught me playing even back on windows.

The only notable games I know that don’t work are valorant and league because of their anti cheat, but i would never want to play them anyway. I’ve played marvel rivals on bazzite though, perfect experience, ended up running better on the same hardware than it did on windows.

I also feel like I have to fight against windows now more then ever. I currently still have to use it for work and it can be a nightmare at times. On Linux if something is wrong I can almost always find a way to fix it. Most of the time you’re shit out of luck on windows 11.

I wasn’t actually trying to be serious by the way

Bigwig studio is a great ableton replacement that is Linux native too. Made by some of the original team from ableton too iirc.

Theres also Reaper if you want something closer to FL studio.

I’m not into CAD stuff at the moment but I’m pretty sure there are some really good open source ones out there at the moment that are Linux native also.

I’ve not had any issues with any games on bazzite or cachyos either. Although I don’t play AAA multiplayer games with the shitty anti cheats, which i think are the only ones that don’t work now. Master Chief collection is about as close to that as I go but that works completely fine.

Keep in mind with bazzite and cachyos i also didn’t need to do any tinkering to get the games to work. They just do.

Ooo Linux mentioned?

What distro are you currently on, I’m intrigued

It’s better but it’s onboarding is worse. Figuring out the drift boosting is harder than figuring it out for Mario kart with the latter feeling love riding a bike and easy to get back into the muscle memory time and time again.

However, whenever you’ve got the feeling of how CTRs works, It feels better than Mario karts. Giving you more control and more engagement in the moment to moment.

Sometimes i bounce off CTR when coming back to it after a very long time going to just play it for a bit but fumble a bunch of drifts and feel like i can’t be arsed trying to figure it out again currently and just play something else with what little time i had currently.

I don’t have any rights from a “Fourth amendment”

I find female V is always overacting. Every time she says something whatever emotion it needs to be is at 110% so when that emotion needs to flip from line to line or even in the same line it’s like tonal whiplash.

Never played male V so don’t know the comparison, but female Vs line delivery makes me cringe constantly.

That’s why they said !2B. He made it into a Shakespeare joke.

To be or not to be

Road Trip Adventure is one of my favourite racing games. It’s like Disney cars before then. You get to drive around a world doing side quests outside of races.

Driving can feel clunky and it feels really bad in the beginning, but most of it is due to the fact you start off with bad parts. As you upgrade your car the game starts to feel better and better as it goes on. Eventually you get parts to fly and go under water.

…

Also when it comes to final fantasy, there is no one place to start, each game unless a direct sequel (like X-2) they are all completely standalone. None of them are in the same world or universe. They share similar themes but that’s it.

My recommendations for starter OSs are bazzite if you really only care about gaming. Mint if you want a more general pc, and to learn more about standard linux-ey stuff

There actually is a massive speed difference between data on the cartridges and on the sd card. Games on cartridge actually load like 3-4x slower. Which is crazy.

Fair

Is there a cfw yet or other homebrew? Or we just at the start and they’ve just found the door in so far?

Sorry, i should’ve specified it was co-op. I highly recommend finding a friend to play it though, it’s a great experience.

Edit: specified spoiler is for co-op

Final Fantasy VII Kingdom Hearts II (or BBS depending on the day of the week) Persona 4 Golden

To be honest these three could be different any day of the week. I play more than just RPGs but because these are heavily story driven they stick in the front of my mind more when it comes to these questions.

In the AAA space, sure

Instead you see GPUs release for the same price as, or more than, a current gen console every two years.

Them being told they’re timed exclusives isn’t really the problem being discussed though. Seems weird to invalidate a console having a game just because it’s available elsewhere. If you don’t already have a PC, a PS5 for it’s performance is way cheaper than getting the PC equivalent.

I hope this stops it from being laggy. It’s awful on big picture mode/gamescope

Was it based on the choose your own adventure book?

I think those guys are the main ones that run love death + robots iirc. Someone might correct me on that though

They want people having more babies so the US president has more supply to pick from. It’s not been as easy since he lost his best friend that helped sort it out for him.

But think of the children!

You mean SWTOR rather than KOTOR?

The worst part of that most wanted is that its called most wanted. It’s a great game but it’s name causes it to create comparisons to the og most wanted which for most, myself included, have big nostalgia for

Hot pursuit is like a polished high budget hypothetical burnout 2.5 remake

For the UK one it’s just tied to your email address to prevent duplicates, and you just input your name and physical address which will be used to confirm you’re actually a citizen.

They can still release their bespoke parts without any of the third party licensed stuff. Even without instructions on what needs to be gotten and put back in. It’d allow the smarter guys in the community have a headstart to figuring it out anyway. Most licensed software can be replaced, look at the recent decomps like the Lego island one.

Does it not stop you from signing multiple times? The UK one tells you you’ve already signed it when you try again. I tried it again recently in case i was misremembering signing the second petition after the first one was misunderstood completely by the uk government.

I think elevators are fixed height. You go underground once. Then when you’re about to go back up again you end up going down instead. So now you’re down 2 levels. But you never go back up 2 more elevators so the ground level when you get back up way lower than the ground at the start.

I’m in the same block built boat as you. I always vehemently defend this game since finding out the general gaming public don’t like it.

Same, as a kid i had no idea if the controversy to and was still waiting on a sequel for some time after. I thought it was a novel idea and it was my first proper foray into Norse mythology.

I loved the gameplay of pre sequel. But the writing for that was constantly throwing me for a loop on how any of it was greenlit. I didn’t mind the writing in 1 and 2, I got a few chuckles out of that. Pre sequel just made me groan, moan and yawn.
