Thanks for responding, I can definitely see your point that it wouldn’t be the best for some new Linux users.

However, speaking from my perspective as a new Linux user: all I wanted was an OS that I could use to play my steam library with little fuss and Bazzite delivered exactly what I wanted. I have no desire to make big changes and everything went perfectly fine. Steam and Firefox were already installed, the only other thing I needed was Discord which was easy to find in the appstore-like GUI.

Bazzite is definitely something I would recommend to new Linux users who are like me, folks who never bothered with Linux before the steam deck proved Linux gaming was viable without needing to learn Linux. There’s literally nothing I want to do with my PC that didn’t work out of the box. I didn’t even need to install any drivers like I would on windows.

What makes Bazzite difficult to get up and running for you? I just installed it for the first time and didn’t need to do anything else to get up and running.

That entire game was just forever chasing the high you got from that one time you had a really good party. I’m already finding myself glossing over the fact that 99% of them were awful and you only settled for them because you didn’t want to wait around another 30 minutes for chance of a better one.

I’m sure he’s about to be appointed secretary of something he’s unqualified for any day now.

Didn’t it come out after Vice City?

I’m still waiting for that Metroid game that was supposed to be on it.

Metroid Dread came out a while ago.

Well TIL.

profound misunderstanding of how surround sound worked

You got me, I didn’t know anyone who even owned a surround sound setup in the gamecube era.

That came out on GameCube back when we were all still using composite cables that didn’t support surround anyway.

Edit: Apparently I was misinformed, still KAR was such a casual arcadey game that I’m sure it got more benefit out of quick startup than it would have from surround support.

I absolutely cannot comprehend why a normal pokemon battling system wasn’t included.

Because it doesn’t fit the design of the game.

Pokemon Go is meant to be played while walking around outside. This means you can’t have a lot of text because glare from the sun will make it too hard to read. The real battle system also requires more congnitive load than most people can handle while walking and takes too long which will lead to people stopping for extended periods of time at which point you’re no longer playing a pedometer game.

Pokemon is second-party, the publisher (Nintendo) owns part of the IP but they don’t own the developer (Gamefreak).

the funniest ideas were always the ones people came up with when our work kept us up late at night

I see we’re still glorifying toxic work cultures.

I had those issues but they went away after I got a shorter USB cord.

I had heard that the original Fallout/Wasteland was based on GURPS.

I bought it and tried it out in my Sera control deck, pretty hit or miss and it seems far more meta-dependent than I would have thought. There’s a lot of lockjaw around right now and it’s basically useless there since you often hit Infinaut or Giganto and actively make their deck better. Evolved Hulk keeps the power he had when you turn him into a pig so it doesn’t make him that much worse unless you hit him turn 1.

I’d love to see a marvel snap community.
