Hate is always foolish and Love is always wise.
Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind.
Never be cruel.
Never be cowardly.
Never give up.
Never give in.
Yeah… some of the models that are popular have insane prices… and it’s gonna probably get worse what with the apocalypse and all. :(
Looks like a gx7 is about 300-350, a gx85 is 450-500, a gx8 is 600-750, and gx9 is 850-1050. Like… I see a G9 II on the page for 1300… IDK why some of those rangefinder models from several years ago are so high priced. smh.
Yeah… I’ve had my eye on the gx8 for a while but it’s still more than I want to pay. The gx9 is like $900-1000 used… way outside what I’m looking at.
I was originally looking at the olympus e-pl6 because it’s about 200… but I started seeing that for just a little more if I pushed I might get noticeable feature boost… so I’m considering a little more to get nicer features. The gx7 seems like it’s got good quality and checks most of the boxes (slightly larger than I wanted but that’s ok)… but I’m stuck in a cycle of comparing it to all the stuff in it’s range.
Have you used the gx7 at all to compare to the gx85 / gx9? Also, how is the focus peaking on lumix cameras. I’d like to be able to use manual lenses but I really like focus peaking to be an option.
FYI, for the same price you could grab it in a bundle right now and get several other games with it.
steamdb only tracks steam directly though, correct? Great site, just doesn’t track all prices if that’s what you’re going for.
Depends on the game and the publisher. There are frequent sales as well as sales from 3rd party resellers. Check out IsThereAnyDeal.com which tracks all the prices and you can see how often a game has gone on sale at steam or any legit reseller.
Time to show them the door …
Yeah… I think I’m less upset they changed the type of game… and more that it’s just creatively bankrupt cash-grab nonsense.
Did Roko write this?
Both Tuta and Proton are decent selections.
Some of the rumblings from proton admin are a little concerning… too early to see if they’re going to have issues or not. Their service is robust and easy to use.
Tuta seems to be a fairly good choice from a privacy standpoint. They aren’t nearly as robust of a product package and using it feels a little old skool and clunky… but they’re actively working on it… so hopefully it will change.
The biggest thing with proton is that they offer a suite of products. They look to compete directly with the goog on their offerings… so they have email, calendar, password manager, file drive, wallet, whatever else… and they’re working to integrate them. So if you use a plethora of g-products… it’s more of a smooth transition because there are more analogs to use. If you have already diversified away from a monolithic product base, then this isn’t an issue.
They need their vent cores frog blasted. 💥🐸💥
Perhaps this would work…
I believe Lutris is actually in the Mint software center and could just be installed from there. If not you just need the .deb file from the github they link to and it should run like an installer… but I’m pretty sure it’s in the software store.
AFAIK it does not. You’d have to manually install it. I haven’t tried installing EA games on linux. Hell even on windows they’re a pain in the ass. App sucks… triggers virus warnings which might or might not be false. EA sucks.
Yeah not saying it won’t. OP was just trying to avoid ea app from what I gather.
EA games require the ea.app even if purchased through steam… fyi.
I love Gamers Nexus’ reviews. Good in depth coverage and I’ve been happy with their advice.
I had a Coolermaster TD500 mesh for years and it has been great. It was decent build process, good thermals. Looked nice. Sturdy build.
It held up so well I was going to reuse it when I upgraded, but ended up giving the whole pc to someone else that needed one and built a new one almost from scratch. I almost got the Antec one that GN recommended, because of price and because I wanted to get a larger case since I was adding a water cooled CPU rad. I ended up getting a good deal on a Lian Li o11 vision. I’ve been super happy with it. I sorta wish it had a top vent as well but it isn’t lacking in air flow. It allows me to put 3 x 140mm fans on the bottom, the 360mm water cooler on the side panel, and and up to a 240 on the back panel. The fit and finish was decent and the build process was a breeze. Everything comes apart to allow access to building… the back fan panel removes entirely from it’s bracket so you can attach it to the radiator or fans then clips in to place with a latch. It has copious tie downs and routes for wires to the back build area. The motherboard attachment point actually can be moved up or down to accommodate different sized motherboards and GPUs a little easier. So far my thermals have been really good, so I’m happy with it. It sits in the $120-150 price range depending on trim options.
The combo pack of Enter the Gungeon and Exit the Gungeon is also on sale for pretty cheap… and it’s a complete the bundle so if you have one or the other you’ll only pay for the one you don’t have which makes it slightly cheaper.

For walking around… I want something I can walk around in the city. I don’t really do street photography per se since I don’t like photographing people… but I do like landscape and architectural and just documenting my life sort of things. I like nature walks and parks and such as well… not really hiking… more casual stuff.
My experience is moderate. I started with 35mm in the 80’s and 90’s and worked as an assistant to a portrait and event photog in the early 00’s. So I am not a pro but I’m not new to using a camera. Like I said, I have am om-d e-m5 ii now, which is great but I’d like something with a flip up screen and with a slimmer profile than the SLR body style of the e-m5 as well as a bit less weight. Since I already have several m43 lenses that cover a gamut of focal lengths (7.5mm FE, 14-42mm, 45mm f/1.8, 40-150mm) it feels like just slotting a small m43 body into my kit will be a no brainer. I plan on picking up some small primes soon as well, so all the more reason that sticking with just adding a new m43 body for versatility makes sense. I primarily shoot in manual mode, so having some physical controls to adjust those quickly would be nice, but since this is a secondary body it isn’t a deal breaker if it doesn’t have dual dials.
