Absolutely. This is the kind of game that keeps me interested in gaming. AAA games lack something these days, but this game I played through in a single day because I couldn’t stop playing. This is an incredibly rare event for me at this point in my life.

He just hit the final S in that system

He probably should have taken this medication under the supervision of Dr. Toboggan.

I think a large portion of it comes from an intolerance for troubleshooting issues with their hardware drivers. Nvidia has definitely been a huge part of this over the years with their limited Linux support, but other hardware manufacturers are also sometimes hostile towards anything but Windows support.

I think there is a vocal population of Nvidia GPU users who see their very expensive graphics card working well under Windows but having some crippling problems with whatever drivers are available on Linux, so they blame Linux. They don’t take the time to understand the complexity of the situation, and I’m not sure that it matters that they do at the end of the day.

People should just use what works for them. Nobody should try to be a purist about tools or entertainment. I’ve been a professional system admin for both Linux and Windows, and while I have an unshakable preference for Linux and open source software in general, I will use whatever tool I need to use. Fusion 360 is a piece of software that has been great for my CAD needs, but I’ve had trouble making it work reliably through WINE, so I just boot to a Windows installation on a SFF PC I keep around specifically for 3D printing stuff. No big deal.

I’ve seen the same thing. I remember thinking to myself a couple of times, “This isn’t the dunk you think it is.”

There’s clearly a fundamental misunderstanding there about how Linux development happens when the majority of the terrible memes treat the thousands of open source projects that go into the myriad of different distributions as a single monolithic effort run by some central authority. Or that there’s some coordinated effort to obscure the truth about switching from Windows because evangelizing the gospel of Linux is more important than everything else. And that’s beside the fact that so many of the memes aren’t even grounded in fact or are just badly outdated.

I’ve never bothered to interact with anyone there, and everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I legitimately think that there are issues at play here that go beyond mere preferences in operating systems. I won’t antagonize the situation because of that.

Sad news. I loved his work as Cell! I think I’ll watch some of those episodes in his honor.

Yeah, I’m Linux-only and have been for the last 17 years, but we are not a significant percentage of the gaming market. Still less than 3% last time I checked.

Otherwise, yeah fuck kernel anticheats that don’t even stop cheating.

Xzibit approves

I’ll try it on my MiSTer once it’s available. The arcade original is already available to compare this version with

What he really needed was for his country to stop ignoring the true cost of sending troops into dangerous situations and for us to support him properly.

If we as Americans can’t take care of our soldiers once they’ve come home, then we can’t afford to be the world police. I’m thoroughly disgusted and ashamed of my government for allowing this situation to happen.

You are a good person for trying to help him, but realistically he needs constant support from professionals.

Peace was never an option

I know it seems impossible, but it’s actually not. That’s the awful part of this that you need help with. If you can find the strength to ask for help to see things differently, then you can do this. I did it, so I know it’s possible.

I don’t believe in an afterlife because we have no credible evidence of one. This may be the only existence we get, as screwed up and confusing as it is. We should all try to make the best of this life.

I just had to put my dog down on New Year’s Day. She was happy and fine, and then she suddenly wasn’t. One day you and I might also suddenly find ourselves facing a terminal illness that doesn’t leave us any more time. Wouldn’t you prefer to be able to say that you lived a full life and found meaning in your existence at the end of your journey?

Yes, good. Give in to your hatred (of Copilot). It makes you powerful!

Try a different crisis line, please. If you didn’t want help, you wouldn’t have made this post. We want to help you are going to have to dig down and find the strength to also help yourself. It may seem impossible, but it is not. I’ve been through this.

They’ve definitely become a con job. Almost all of them are owned by Match Group (of match.com).

Agreed, sincerely. Trying can be a greater effort than we can give sometimes, so to try is to keep fighting the good fight.

The battle against mental illness cannot be won decisively. It is a long campaign against an enemy who never tires, whose forces swell to twice their size whenever you look away. Battle against a foe of such magnitude, who occupies your very mind… every moment you survive is a triumph against all odds. There is no more honorable combat.

Christ, that’s a lot of words to try to twist some meaningless point out of a difference in semantics.

Fortunately it’s a matter of public record and you don’t need to listen to stories.

Bernie joined the party. He had to in order to run as a Democrat. He later became independent again.
