The ship building is really cool! Getting there is tedious and annoying, but being able to walk around your ship is fun. It’s like Space Engineers with 99% less avoidable mistakes!

I wonder how good Starfield might have been if they dumped most of the planetside stuff and just had ships and space stations, all using this modular build system.

I don’t think that’s all that hot of a take. The big killer in Starfield is just how much not playing there is between the playing.

In Fallout, just walking to a new place you’ll stumble on a few ruins, a couple fights, maybe even some faction action. You’ll get some loot, spend some time and resources, maybe discover a good story or unique item. And in Fallout 4, all the useless loot can be broken down for upgrades to your equipment and home base, so most of it is nice.

Is Starfield, there’s nothing. Maybe a generic fight with pirates you could easily run from. Even if you happen to find good loot, it’s not really that good.

I’m glad you found fun in there though!

Silksong was 8 years, and had some of the craziest hype ever, and it’s been solid.

Terraria is precisely the game I ran from executable alone.

I think this amount of competition could be good if individual competitors were allowed to fail. All the parts that build vendor lock-in would need to be removed, and more things would need to be interoperable, but it could be quite good and even specialised.

Each storefront could live or die independent of each library and each game service. If one company tried to squeeze money from users, they could just take their elsewhere, without worrying about losing access to games or connections to friends.

Of course no company would create such a system voluntarily, most depend on monopolistic practices to survive. It would take monopoly busting-policy or a foss group to even begin such a thing.

I think you switched to cons without saying.

I admit I haven’t tried very many, but I think you can launch any steam app “normally” without steam running. If you can find the executable or startup script, you can just point a shortcut to it. Some games will need Steam Services to run, but it’s not blocked or anything.

When I first got into linux, I was having trouble with sound issues, and my track pad had pointer acceleration and was always the wrong speed.

Wayland apparently had a fix for the trackpad settings not taking, so I switched to logging in with Wayland before it was the distro default, and almost all of my problems disappeared instantly. The only real issue I had then was screen sharing, which is fixed now.

X11 has only given me problems. I’m sure it was great at one point, but it certainly did not back me up.

Because DnD fists do 1 + STR damage, no dice at all.

Does Vibrant Visuals not use Ray Tracing, or do you mean the RTX mode specifically? If you need specifically the windows 10 version, you could try WinApps or WinBoat, but I’d be surprised if you don’t take a significant performance hit. If graphics in a voxel game are what’s holding you back, I guess the meme is relevant.

I’ve had decent results running jetbrains IDEs from a Fedora Toolbx, probably doesn’t have to be fedora though. You just have to start them from a toolbox terminal.

You can play the android version in desktop mode with the Unofficial *nix Launcher.

A lot of people are afraid of non-standard letters.

Oh, this one’s homogenised!

I don’t see how adding parking spaces would do either of those.

True, GG should probably be chosen in a different fasion. It’s still a well established position with a well defined role, no need to restructure the whole government if we do decide to fully leave England’s royal system. I think that restructuring would open a lot more cans.

We already have a Governer General, we wouldn’t even be changing any structures. Just removing the symbolic power and giving it to the Governer General to begin with.

That scutoid (possibly all of them, I don’t know) is just a pentagonal prism with a corner cut off.

I think that’s part of the joke. Instead of the snappy punchline, there’s a long and tedious realistic answer that goen on long after the point has been made.

Not all apples, but many. Including Macintosh, which was found along a road and could never produce viable seeds. There were only three trees for like 30 years before people noticed that they tasted rather good. All Macintosh apples today are grafts of the one surviving tree.

Nope, all dirty fleshbag. I just like knowing things and hope others do too. :)
