I have two friends playing PoE2 in windows and they have had tons of problems with the game crashing.

I’m running it in linux and I’ve had one crash in 65 hours of playtime.

22 was MMO and shooters mostly, 23 was dominated by racing games. 24 was BG3 and Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts… mostly just UA.

I remembered the book!

A brief history of vice, how bad behavior built civilization

By Robert Evans, very good book I highly recommend.

There’s one article I found.

Originally read about it in a book that I don’t remember the title of.

Foot fetishes routinely come up more historically when there is a larger std concern.

People hear about diseased junk and become turned on about other things.

If you look through history, when there are large STD outbreaks afterwards foot fetish content rose.

Our brains are wired to be turned on by other things when the bits are diseased.

Apparently during part of the sinking of the Costaconcordia they played it in one of the lounges.

I’m fine with having to pick between ads and paying for a service, but when there are ads when I paid not to see them…

I pay for YouTube premium and have for several years, but if I start seeing ads I’ll go to watching Nebula and listening to podcasts and cut out YouTube.

I have a bunch of ships in the game. The most fun I’ve ever had in the game was after a reset I ignored all of the other ships I had and just focused on starting with the cheapest ship in the game and earning my way up. I had a blast.

I haven’t touched the game in probably 3 years, basically just waiting for more things to get finished before jumping back in. But it is hard to get excited for the game with how long it has been and how… not good things have been in the company.

It isn’t a scam, just incredibly mismanaged. Chris Robert’s has a very hard time saying “this is good enough” and that makes the company bleed money as they repeatedly remake things. People then don’t tell Chris no. They weren’t making a good space Sim, they were making the best darn space Sim evah!

They’ve completely redone the flight model several times to various levels of success. Time frames get so damm long that they have to go back and remake huge chunks of the game in order to keep things up to snuff graphically.

I get the feeling that they never felt the need to stress out about timelines as the funding kept rolling in, in fact the funding accelerated over time! The game has 183 different ships all designed down to the tiniest detail in the game right now. That’s a fuck ton of work hours, but ship sales gets the funding rolling so they have to keep cranking out new ships.

I do really like playing the game, but it is really a shitshow for management. There was one point where they had to throw away a massive amount of work because one studio was making things that didn’t fit the metrics for scale and animation of the rest of the game.

Edit: and ships are a dumb thing to buy anyway! You can earn them in game anyway for really not all that much work. It’s the most cost inefficient grind skip I’ve ever seen in a game.

I’ve seen a couple vtubers use leap for hand tracking.

I work in a gas station, there is a MAGA regular who is constantly complaining about how broke she is, she buys 2 packs of unfiltered camels a day, that’s $14.60 a pack, over $800 a month just for cigarettes cause she buys the most expensive packs in the store.

Yeah, I’ve never seen people hate Putin cause of Trump. I have seen a couple cases of the other way around, Republicans hating Trump cause of Putin.

In Gaza casualty numbers any adult man is assumed to be a combatant by Isreal.

It would be another outrage lever to push in America between Maga and dems.

I don’t miss AUR. Well, I do but opensuse has OBS. Technically OBS is better as packages can be rebuilt automatically when dependencies are updated, but there are a lot more users on the AUR than OBS so AUR has more stuff on it.

OBS packages are less likely to break your system in an update, but the AUR is just flat out bigger.

There hasn’t been anything I’ve needed that I haven’t been able to find either on OBS or as a flatpak. When something isn’t in the disro repos, I look for a flatpak first, then check OBS. Mostly cause flatpaks are easier to search.

I ran Arch flavors for a while, (Endeavor, Crystal, Garuda, and mostly CachyOS) and I eventually got tired of the tinkering, so I’m back on Opensuse now. Benefits of the perks of rolling release with less tinkering than Arch.

I personally use Tumbleweed, then I use Slowroll on my media PC and my dad’s laptop.

Did you miss a required manual intervention on an update? A while ago there was an arch update that needed manual intervention cause of a dependency circle. Might be worth looking up the past year or so of manual intervention newsletter posts for Arch.

Last time I had a dependacy issue I was able to remove the conflicting package, update, then reinstall the package and it worked fine afterwards.

My own system was working great for a long while on an Arch flavour. But a bit ago HDR stopped working properly after an update and I just couldn’t get it running right. Would display very dim.

Eventually gave up on my 2 year old install and went back to Tumbleweed.

I loved all the tinkering on Arch, but I just don’t have it in me to do the tinkering anymore.

Eventually yes, but no estimate on when that will be, I know there has been a statement by the PopOS team that they’re working on it.

Right now if you want HDR you pretty much have to be running KDE for your DE.

Mint with KDE if it doesn’t support it already it will the next major release.

No idea when Gnome HDR support will come.
