oh yeah it’s huge. As of right now Pandemic Horde have lost over 16,000 characters that have quit the alliance. they’re pretty much done. End of an era.

What helped me when I was a kid were games like Quake 3 Arena, Worms, and Mechwarrior 2, 3, and 4.

Q3A was because of the speed. you had to be fast with the mouse if you hoped to compete. Add to the fact that the bots in Q3A, at the time anyways, were quite good. you can play it offline with bots or even over a local LAN.

Again going back to a LAN staple but Worms is also good. you need precision with the mouse on that one. lots of geometry at play.

Finally the Mechwarrior games which really emphasize the mouse and keyboard combination. Torso Twisting and Flicking, positioning of your legs in regards to your torso, etc. really helps with mouse coordination.

I play EVE Online soooooo this happens daily? multiple times a day?

The political dramas in that game could put actual real world political drama to shame. I mean take what’s currently happening in game right now. A massive alliance named Pandemic Horde decided to evacuate the space they held. fair enough, the issue? Leadership made the announcement they were leaving said space and then…leadership quit. in the same message. Thus all the regular members, literally hundreds of them if not well over 1000, were left on their own in hostile space with all their assets stuck in stations that were now actively being shot at and destroyed by opposing alliances. The players are essentially stuck because all the upper leadership of Pandemic Horde have the massive capital ships that they could have used to save their members by getting them out of system or aiding in destroying the attackers but they said nope, we’re not going to do that. It’s a cluster fuck.

Loved the first game. I still have my Max Payne mouse pad that came with it. Second one was alright. I don’t think I ever finished the third.

I…I don’t understand. Why would you use Bazzite for software development and not gaming when user is not a gamer but just likes KDE?

you can literally put KDE on anything. Bazzite isn’t friendly to installing anything that isn’t a flatpak or whatever.

Just use a different distro. you don’t need Bazzite. Switch them to like Fedora KDE or something.

And to people in this thread trying to push a camel through a pin hole…why? you’re talking about setting up VMs and Distroboxs or just using flatpaks on Bazzite when the most painless solution is to just switch distros.

You picked the wrong distro, just switch them to something more appropriate for what they want to do.

Sins of a Solar Empire. It’s a space based strategy game that I’ve sunk hours into. years ago I used to have really shotty internet so it would go down all the time. I’d play that game for 8 hours a pop easily and the time would just fly by. I’m not even a big strategy gamer but I adored that game.

Guix.

My Dad wanted to switch to Linux because he always liked watching me use whatever distro I was on my machines at the time. So I started him out with Fedora and he didn’t really like it. he likes to tinker. He started out on DOS and the Commodore 64 back in the 80s. So I showed him my current setup on my main machine with NixOS. he liked it but I think the whole flake and configuration.nix went over his head. He liked how it worked, just really didn’t want to deal with all that. So I found a compromise for him. Guix.

He friggin loves it. Yes it’s slow, too slow for me, but he adores it. he has a system configuration setup but also different user profiles for himself and my mom. He loves that all he has to do is “guix install whatever” and that’s it. It’s not like he’s gaming or doing any dev work so for what he and my mom needs it’s perfect.

all that being said I would NOT recommend you start off new users to Guix. as I previously said, it’s slow, but it’s god damn simple.

2001 or 2011.

2001 easily had the most games that were highly rated and as others have said you some real classics. The PS2 was hitting it’s stride, the original Xbox Launched, and the Gamecube was right there.

2011 also had some damn amazing games: Arkham City, Portal 2, Skyrim, Skyward Sword, Minecraft, Mortal Kombat 9, Starcraft II, Bastion, Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3 to name a few.

Vivaldi is great IF you don’t use the web UI. outside of that it’s fast and decent. I still use my Vivaldi email account from when I used to use the browser. now I just use it in aerc as a sort of ‘junk drawer’ email.

I use AERC. TUI that is just so painfully easy to use. integrates with whatever editor you use like vim or emacs or whatever. Account setup is a breeze via a config file thus making it easy to backup. I have it in my nix config so whenever I take my nixos anywhere or reinstall it I instantly have my email ready to go.

it’s always funny playing RE games and reading notes and you’re like “why would anyone write this down and confess to this?”

“I ate frank in the PD holding cell,he protested,but I consumed him anyways. I don’t feel right, it feels like that wasn’t something I should have done…”

honestly it’s better to just host your own private instance as if you want a lemmy and mastodon instance that others can also set up you not only have to admin it you also have to moderate it.

Also keep in mind it’s NOT just actual people signing up but you also have to deal with all the bots which WILL register en masse to your instances. a lot of people won’t mention this. bots flock to this stuff like flies on shit. It’s not worth it unless you plan on really dedicating the time to actively admin your instances.

I run Akkoma instead of Mastodon and Piefed instead of lemmy. both of which were easier to setup than mastodon/lemmy and less resource heavy.

since you’re on a laptop with a dedicated nvidia GPU DO NOT use Mint, Ubuntu, or hell anything Debian based. it won’t go well for you.

As other’s have said Nobara, Bazzite, Cachy, or Pop

Well the Wachowskis have said in the past that The Matrix Online is canon as they wanted to hand the story of The Matrix over to the fans/players to do with it as they wished. They approved of Morpheus’ death in the game so I suppose that’s why it’s kinda vague in Resurrections as to how he died. Either because of the events of the game where he was killed by an assassin or simply from old age.

As far as how he was reborn in the movie he was basically “coded in” to a “Matrix Modal” by Neo and the Machines. Resurrections Morpheus was like a hybrid of Morpheus and Agent Smith. The whole explanation was the machines needed Neo to kind of remember but not quite fully remember that he was the One because it generated a lot of power for them combined with keeping Trinity in close proximity. So the Machines were kind of constantly dangling a carrot in front of Neos face. They also had to keep constantly changing his DSI (Digital Self Image) so the humans would have a hard time finding him.

So the Morpheus in Resurrections wasn’t the “real” morpheus but a program that had Morpheus’ “code”. that’s why he didn’t have a body in the real world because unlike Neo and Trinity there was no body to put him in.

I was using a few of the alphas like a year ago and I enjoyed it. Then I didn’t. seemed like with each new release it just got worse. slower, more bugs, etc.

Yesterday I decided to finally try the beta and…it’s good. It’s really good. I’m going to switch from Niri to it. I didn’t have to change ANY keybind on it cause they were all just there by default. The tiling works great, love the ease of navigation between monitors. the hot key to tile or not is great. It’s in a really good spot right now.

I don’t care what anyone says RE0 is still my favourite in the series.

“yahoo chat”

instantly thought of: https://michaelcharm.ytmnd.com/

A LOT of devs did. was either MySpace, Geocities, or LiveJournal.

I mean every web dev my age I know pretty much all started with geocities so this is valid. that’s how I started. I had a legal pad that was just full of html where I wrote down all the various tags and what they did. Even more devs I know got their start by modifying their MySpace pages.

I use xfreerdp on wayland and never had any issues.
