  • Just because something is popular does not mean you will like it. Different tastes and all that.

    As for me, more variety means more reach to gamers out there. What I don’t like to see is stagnation for years on established IP to the point is becomes boring (for me personally, Pokémon falls a lot into this category for most releases. The only Pokémon game I liked recently was arceus, simply because the whole battle and catch system got revamped to be something different for once)





  • It’s a high paced fps in general. The original mode is semi roguelite, meaning, you have to go every 10 floors in order to get a checkpoint. If you don’t, back to the previous checkpoint and get different perks for the run.

    For me the whole cyberpunk esque thing about it sold me. And is also a quite unusual sort of shooter.

    Only a tad short, that is my biggest complaint (but price does match the time so I can’t say much)







  • I do use windows for work as well, but if people want adoption, it starts at home. I do see a need for Linux distros in general will have to make even a bigger shift for the user needs instead of whatever agenda people like to imply (I think open source is a good goal, but if I introduce Linux to someone, I will not for certain preach endlessly about this).

    We need more adoption, but I also see some camps will decide to further distance themselves from these groups of users.


  • As people already stated in the comments, this may not be a permanent change for some (they find out something like destiny 2 refuses to work on Linux without bans, some other tools needed for certain use cases are not there yet or windows only), but I think is super important people understand there are alternatives, and not only windows or Mac. Hopefully gives more people awareness that something else is out there. And would be really cool if we had more of the user base that is on the verge to throwing away the machine because of windows 11 restrictions and instead, gives machines a second chance.




  • There is a podcast about this called “better offline”. I will say right off the bat: his delivery is not always great, but at least explains clearly what is wrong with ai at this point. From an economical stand point, this whole endeavour is weird that is even a thing. However, we have bosses that are SALIVATING to get people replaced, because frankly they cannot think of anything else.


  • I had this problem several times as well. I was told once I should at least extent my hand and be the one starting the conversation. Thing is, if I am doing that all the time and I never have it the other way around, means 2 things: either they don’t care enough to even ask how I am doing, and/or take for granted I deal with that.

    Most relationships are a 2 way street. You may start the conversation a couple of times, but if you keep doing with 0 payout, eventually falls off.

    This also reminds me of the people that only bother to tell something on birthdays (only if it is visible somewhere like LinkedIn or so), and/or Xmas just to give happy birthday/holidays. If the conversation is that short every time (get felicitations and say thanks, not much more), then maybe don’t bother saying anything at all. And please, do not only reach out when you have problems. If we didn’t talk for years, and you tell me how I am doing just to ask for a favor, please kindly fuck off. Got several time those as well.
