Bloody Malcolm Turnbull, classic Libs prioritising money over the public good

Please do post this graphic again, I don’t think I’ve quite grasped it yet

I feel like there’s an interesting discussion to be had around source ports v emulation

I’ve been getting into Mount & Blade: Warband recently, it’s pretty sim-ish but fits the criteria, although there’s basically no pre-written story to speak of, a story of sorts evolves organically as you play. It’s weird but fun, and better than Bannerlord I’d argue.

Ahh, you’ve got to live a little, even if you risk dying in the process

The corporations always do at the moment

You see what they want you to see

Thank you for the quality assurance, you may have saved my install.

Yeah but, you’re a towel.

Huh, it must have been, because it’s all looking normal now. And here I was assuming it was a questionable artistic choice, good on you and thanks for following up on it.

Why make the text so large in your comment? It really threw off the flow of the thread for me

Fuck yeah man, I love that conviction. If only everyone were so inclined, the world would be a better place.

Hopefully it will help to shift your perspective, so while your situation might not change, your outlook on it will

You could get something like a 5-bay HDD enclosure that connects to the mini pc via usb, but while that’s very clean it also might be slow and/or expensive. Alternatively you could get an NVMe to 5-port sata adapter and cobble together some kind of Frankenstein pc, which is probably cheaper and maybe faster, but is certainly a hack-ier solution and who knows what the reliability is like with them. I’m sure it’ll be a fun project regardless of what you go with.

I really liked Stray, short and sweet with an engaging narative and solid visual design. Simplistic gameplay, but it’s satisfying enough to keep things moving.

It certInly is, it feels very hollow and empty compared to earlier games. I feel that it marks the beginning of the end for Bethesda, it was a pretty steep decline from there.

I get why most people prefer the legendary remaster of the first game to the original, but I would have liked it if they’d carried a lot of the design and narative choices into the sequels. EA bought Bioware in 2007, and I think it shows, but I love jank so perhaps I’m not the most impartial judge.

I do indeed use linux, on an unused laptop hidden away in my tv cabinet. I’m fairly confident it’s not spying on me… but you never know. Unfortunately you are correct, most people do just use whatever is on the TV, ignorant to the accompanying issues this causes for both themselves and society at large.
