In a sense, yeah. BG3 can be much slower, and you do still have to rely on a party, though I only played DOS1.

BG3 is pretty good for that to be honest - good character customization, there’s a learning curve to be sure so its not a power fantasy until you get past that.

If an open world is just there for collectibles/unlocks or just feels otherwise unnecessary to the primary selling feature of the game (like story), then yeah its a hard pass.

Otherwise, if the open world is actually a core part of the game like in most MMO’s such as Old School Runescape, then it can be quite enjoyable.

The influential people in opposition like Democratic party members or liberal news networks are fighting back, but only legally. I recall there being a reddit propaganda campaign by democrats where they would post weekly “what have we done” reports, having their angry public speeches against the current administration posted, there’s also been lawsuits targeting the illegal acts and lots of media coverage all around calling Trump a big dummy. However, if you have been following the news, you might have noticed that the current administration doesn’t really concern itself with legalities all that much, making the legal, liberal ways of fighting back pretty much toothless even if it does feel good in the moment.

After all, why try to mobilize/rally people to resist outside the legal, lawful means? Anything outside litigation, speeches and peaceful protests is immoral, and resistance via outside (possibly illegal) means would likely jeopardize their cushy lifestyles.

Though, this is irrelevant, and it’s time to stop pretending that reactionary forces and people like Trump & Musk fell out of the sky and decided to start dismantling liberal democracies out of nowhere.

Thanks to working classes being deliberately weakened by both major political parties (both economically and in organizational sense), red scare, prevalence of neoliberalism, further division of the workers via things like party loyalty and culture wars, no education reforms and the liberal overlords being insanely out of touch (recall Kamala’s response to egg prices), reactionaries have been able to get more and more ground. This was a long time coming, and today’s ‘supposed saviors that are doing nothing’ were instrumental in allowing this reactionary sentiment to fester into what it is now, and despite what lots of people here believe, just getting rid of Trump & Musk is far from enough even if it would feel good.

Usually with Linux, once you start out you’re gonna get a ton of issues and you’ll have to troubleshoot them one by one. However, afterwards it should just be a smooth sailing.

Also as a word of warning from my personal experience, official support isn’t something you should be that concerned about. When it comes to software, when some corporation makes some official version for a specific distribution (like Ubuntu), it usually is made by some B-team and doesn’t work that great. If the program is good, it should be available on most major distros rather than just “an official version for just one” if that makes sense.

Also good call - if one distro is causing a fuck ton of issues, just give another one a try. The main difference for users between distros is what kind of software setup they are going with, and some setups are just prone to issues on some hardware or wasn’t tested properly. Still, I do hope Fedora treats you better.

Sounds like you’re mentally drained after work to be honest. Nothing you can really do about it except play on some days only when you have the energy for it, or on the weekends.

Absolute truthnuke

Finally, some good food

Run’s over, time to restart.

When you’re below max combat level in Runescape

There are some setups that allow you to do this.

• nixOS or nix + home-manager on some other distro, but it’s a high skill-floor way to manage a computer so wouldn’t recommend

• window manager heavy setup where you just set it up then copy over the config files to the new install, a bit of a pain to first customize but viable if you’re willing to ditch mouse-heavy desktop experience in favor for keyboard and shortcut focus to control everything.

Apart from those two cases, not really.

As others have said, tiny market, but also that it often requires more development for the Linux port to get going, and even more development to actually make it run well. Like for instance, Civilization series usually release with Linux and Mac ports, but those are done by a third-party company which I imagine does add additional costs, and those suck regardless.

Not like it’s a bad thing necessarily, the vast majority of native Linux ports I’ve tried were either severely out of date, had significant performance issues, crashed a lot or had some quirks that would make it not worth playing anyway. It’s probably just easier if developers focused on proton compatibility instead.

The head of state sharing power and responsibility with powerful unelected individual(s)? Where have I heard this before?

Speaking of stolen elections, I get that this isn’t exactly evidence but this kind of a slip-up, intentional or otherwise is just weird if the election was truly 100% fair.

TLDW with relevant quote: “and he (Musk) knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers, those vote counting computers, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide it was pretty good”

I’ll get a bit conspiratorial here, but if what Bernie has said is to be trusted in his video about oligarchy, up on his youtube channel, then Democrats are largely owned/influenced by billionaires who would benefit from the increased Trump support. It would make sense to do this, but yeah it could also just be a blunder, given how Trump was the first one to propose the ban and Democrats could take it as “hey if we do this, we’ll win the moderate right support again!!”, though who knows.

use your phone to look up the commands on how to get internet working again

alternatively, connect computer to your router via cable

you don’t need to remember anything, except commands you use the most often but even then it becomes muscle memory after a while. If you ever need some specific command to use, just look it up online.

Paying a tribute to the feudal lord

Recently went back to OSRS after getting recommended a video essay about how Runescape is good that included a rant about capitalism ruining the enjoyment of labor and capitalism. It was funny enough to make me go back

Disco Elysium features communism and communists (bad) but also has a couple of homosexuals (a secret cabal of organized people dead-set on destroying the ideals of nuclear family) as characters. I’d suggest you guys avoid the game at all costs, it’s too dangerous.
