it’s not close enough to the original

Since you made your original post only a DAY ago I’d say you’ve done amazing work in that short time!

BMX XXX

Me and some other nerds in my high school horded a pile of “forbidden” games, either games that were banned in the UK or just edgy shit most places wouldn’t sell to 11-14yos.

Our friend with a JTAG’d Xbox got a copy of BMX XXX and invited us round to witness it. You’d think we were meeting to watch a snuff film the way we talked about it. Ended just up being a pretty mid game with mild nudity you’d already catch on late night TV.

I still get a chuckle anytime someone brings up that game because of that.

Why are trying to replace the Gnu tools with non-GPL stuff again?

Most of the Ai “recomps” are just emulators running custom patches. A lot of them have bugs/performance issues the “devs” can’t fix since most don’t actually know what they’re doing.

splits and tabs

Sadly also a feature I’m missing switching from Konsole to Alacritty and the dev doesn’t seem interested in implementing.

you luddites

Thanks for the complement.

I didn’t know it’s coded by the Calibre guy

He’s slopcoding it.

We really did just give up designing box art one day didn’t we? Now you’re lucky if they even give you a render of the card inside, normally it’s just a black box with a flat logo.

There’s an option in Mangohud called ‘winesync’ that tells you what it’s using.

Proton has been defaulting to NTSYNC automatically for me since it was fully implemented?

Both when I was using EndeavourOS and when I switched to Artix and manually installed Plasma.

I doubt it’s the best place to find them but I have found a good few epub/pdf books on Soulseek.

I got addicted to Payday 2 again…

Also not really a “patient game” since it isn’t even out yet but the Heatwarped Demo got a new update so having a blast struggling through the new hard mode they added.

They designed it because they wanted it to secure their own systems.

But nothing is stopped them from having an internally used “hardened” branch then giving the public the one that still has some intentional holes in it.

Pretty much mainly this.

Most people who aren’t already reading everything within the Linux space won’t have heard about most of them.

I’ve had to explain to two friends who already use Linux themselves why I switched to a SystemD free distro because they didn’t hear anything about the recent birth-date thing.

If it’s connecting to the internet - Yes

If it’s fully offline - No

What were you using before Sway?

I tried to switch from KDE to Sway semi recently, but the learning curve kinda threw me back. On top of some technical issues I’m sure were my fault. >.> Maybe some other time.

I like to tell people who are new/scared of computers that breaking stuff is part of learning. And those are seem like wizards with technology probably have the most cyber-skeletons in their closet.

Biggest “whoopsy” I’ve ever done was actually back on my first laptop running Windows Vista. 12yo me went on the hunt for “free frame-rate” so I could play Minecraft at higher than 15fps So I looked into overclocking and of course since I was a dumb kid, I didn’t try incrementally increase the clock/power draw and instead just cranked everything to max…Yeah I didn’t have a computer for a most of the year after that.

As for dumb stuff I’ve done on Linux, Well I once spend most of a day compiling Librewolf from source because I didn’t know how the AUR worked yet. That and un-mounting my boot drive while trying to mount an iso image through the terminal one time…maybe twice…

NT is definitely vibecoded at this point. Not like we can check anyway.

Forza Horizon 3

FH3 was the only game I ever bought on the Xbox App and it stopped working for me after a year so I ended up having to grab a cracked copy anyway. Was all back when I still used Windows.

You play the handful of good games that released between now and then.
