I stand corrected. Tips hat touché

Even most of the positive reviews say it’s possibly a 5/10 at best.

This negative review by user Shitty, (Edit: Shifty) says all I need to know to not want to pay money for this game:

For example, building roads, which is something you will do the most in the game is annoyingly complicated. You cannot start a new road on the same tile where the existing road ends, you cannot cross roads, you have to manually work around the existing road to draw your new road.

That right there is enough for me to flat out say not a chance I’m spending a single penny pence or shekel on this game.

Got my pal’s old Xbox one for a £40 piece of hash, played around with it for 2 days and haven’t touched it since. I’ll wait til it’s been jailbroken and play a bit more then…

I’ve got a laptop running Garuda, it has and Intel APU(so integrated graphics) and a dedicated Nvidia 1660. Working better than with Win 11 on it. I did have to configure Heroic launcher to default to the dedicated gfx card, but that was about 7 mouse clicks tops. Steam games tend to just assume that you’ll be wanting the dedicated gfx to do the work, but some games ask. That said, out of the box, I had to fight win 11 for about 25mins to get it to agree that yes I did in fact want the Nvidia card to be used to run games.

Bump for Garuda. It’s decent, as simple as any installation I’ve ever had to do, comes well configured out of the box, and has a very active forum that the Devs keep an eye on and answer questions quite quickly.

Been a few years since I had a stab at it, maybe I’ll have a look and see if I can figure it out

My issue with Elite…is probably that I’m dumb. My character is locked to my epic account, my character is also soft locked with no money and a busted ship, pretty sure stranded in space somewhere. I’d like to just start from scratch, but I can’t for the life of me figure it out…as I said…kinda dumb.

Ah, yeah, fair dues

Possibly almost enough to get a brand new rtx!

I’ve been using Garuda for dual boot for a while on my desktop. Finally got the single program I actually needed windows for working well enough to actually use, so last week I nuked my laptop win11 install and got Garuda up.
Never been happier with it

First “Game Dungeon” episode I managed to start watching while it was still less than 5mins from posted.

Best I can do I constant hallucinations, and a burning planet.

Just strap a rickshaw to 2 electric bikes taped together…job done! 👍

NGL…I’d probably watch that

Fair enough. Though I would like to point out…there can be more than one spiritual successor…

No, but Thick As Thieves is the game the article is talking about.

Edit:
Steam Link For Lazies

Looks like multithreading is still experimental in the current Steam version, and has to be manually turned on in d_init.txt… Which feels weird. I was playing classic right up until the steam EA release, and it feels like New DF doesn’t slog my pc as bad as classic. Same hardware.

DF:C is really good for it too, will bring a top tier pc to it’s knees with all the heavy math it wants done.

Angband

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

Dwarf Fortress Classic, but let world Gen run with settings maxed to see if your PC will melt

Wait…I can do that?

Yeesh, $249 in 2044 is gonna be pretty steep…

Quite a fair bit of money, like not having to work for at least a few months money…

Average Lemmy User

For those that are interested in Arch (btw), but don’t want to install manually.

It’d be like a Tarantino flick, but just…more…

Wild, could you walk the rest of us how you came to that conclusion?

I have a side window, and still don’t give a fuck about cable management. Pc lives under a desk, dust be damned!

Mmmmmmmm… ketchup and mustard 🤤

For the lazy:

Shadow of Chernobyl

Call of Pripyat

There’s was free upgrade from 7->8/10 as well, that doesn’t make it a rolling release.

Good podcast episode:

Better Offline - William Lazonick on How The Stock Market Killed Tech

William Lazonick is an economist. In this live recording Ed Zitron is joined by William Lazonick, professor emeritus of economics at the University of Massachusetts, who is also the co-founder and president of the Academic-Industry Research Network, to talk about how the incentives of shareholder capitalism and stock buybacks are destroying innovation.

They also said Windows 10 would go rolling release. They don’t really deserve anyone’s business for any product.
I’m not going to sit here, wag my finger, and preach the gospel of Linux. I find that kinda cringe. I use Linux, and if people ask for a recommendation I’ll happily give my opinion.
Don’t really see the point in standing on a soapbox and yelling at passersby that they’re sheeple or whatever, doesn’t really help make anyone want to switch, just like having someone yell at me to repent or burn in hell.
It’s a bad look.

Sure it’s a bit crazy, but it’s really not as crazy as you seem to feel. That’s just the way expansive, fancy gfx games are going.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is 150gb, so not really.

Bazzite is also immutable though…

“BuT yOu CaN jUsT iNsTaLl LiNuX”

Hard agree with you. I don’t own a handheld, but have friends with steamdecks and a friend who has an ROG Ally. My buddy installed Linux on his ally, and the experience is objectively worse than the steamdeck.

Eh, probably. Linux Nvidia drivers kinda suck

I thought it was the gas station meth
