Edit: Reply to Namrok Ah, well Minecraft for example, was easy to install, but outside of discover so no icon. Or the VPN I use that is an AppImage - making a shortcut to that was also difficult. Maybe I'm using the wrong launcher or software manager. But you're kind of illustrating my point; there …

My laptop is pretty old and I can't upgrade to Windows 11, so I moved to Kubuntu a couple of months ago. I am very much a 'computer person' so I thought this would be a reasonably easy switch, even as a linux noob. It wasn't. There is always this emphasis on the install, and indeed, that was very …

So I finally went back and wrapped up Final Fantasy XII: Zodiac Age . I wrapped up Pharos, did as much optional content as felt fun to do, bounced off a few especially odious espers and hunts, and then wrapped up with the final boss. I still really love Final Fantasy XII. I think I loved the …

Started playing Lost Odyssey on my Xbox 360 a few days ago. I'm about eight hours into the game, and I have very mixed feelings about it. The story revolves around characters who are essentially immortal (having lived for over a thousand years) and how they deal with the loss of friends and family. …

The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind I've tried playing this many times over the years, beginning with the XBOX version and then the PC version once I upgraded my PC. I thought the game was very interesting, but never got very far into it because I wasn't very disciplined at playing games back then. That's …

So I played the Ghost Bears DLC for Mechwarrior 5: Clans . It was short and sweet at 12 missions. Overall I liked the story a lot better than the core game, found the difficulty less spikey and normal felt about right. Maybe it could have been a skosh harder, but there are always higher difficulties …

While i'm happy with the ability of linux to function while updating, and the greater control the user has about installing them, i am sometimes surprised by the frequency of updates, i don't even have that many applications outside of the usual linux mint standard ones The update frequency …

MS wasn't entirely honest about its requirements - not in RAM and CPU, its fine - but more recent iterations practically require an SSD. Windows support questions/forums are littered with complaints about how incredibly slow windows 10 is during updates of almost any kind (and the hopelessly 'by …

Nah that's not a real issue these days, you just get a Debian based distro and call it a day. Are you sure? Yes, major releases of Debian aren't as frequent as of many other distros - but it's still every 2 years. Let's assume you're releasing an application for the current Debian - but can you …

Do Debian forks inherit the same updates? If they do, so does one fork fix issues and other doesn't? They do, but some like MX Linux make it a bit easier to install proprietary Nvidia drivers by including a dedicated utility for that. Linux Mint is Ubuntu based and even more user friendly, so the …

Even popular Linux distros still have a lot of friction which won't make the dreaded "year of Linux" a reality for now. Especially when it comes to easiness of software installation. But hopefully it will be ironed out before 2032, because there are big companies which have vested interest in that …

Yeah, the looming EOS date for Win10 finally got me to start dual booting into Linux. So far so good. I still need Windows for work, but Linux does everything I need it to do, and Bottles/Proton has filled in all the gaps where a piece of windows software is my only option. It's actually way easier …

I put Doom Eternal on hold for now. Too much platforming and resource management. To say it plainly, I just wasn't having fun. I'm curious how far you got. On my 3 attempts to beat Eternal, it always felt like the level or two after Super Gore Nest was where the fatigue from platforming and …

Some time ago I gave System Shock a try. I got stuck on the first level when cyberspace just refused to be comprehensible to my poor old brain. Apparently conventional wisdom is to play with default difficulty for everything except cyberspace, which you set to the easiest. Oops, didn't feel like …

I mean the concept that when you swap weapons, the reloading time is reset, and the next weapon if ready to fire immediately. If you switch back and forth (or between multiple weapons) you can basically fire non-stop. Here's a video that explains and demonstrates it succinctly: https://www.youtube. …

I was replaying Doom (2016) on my PC, as I had previously only played it on my PS4, but I ran into a game breaking bug. I was in Mission 6 (Kadingir Sanctum) and had gotten to the very end of the map with the Barons of Hell fight. Somehow, during that fight, I dropped down from that area all the …

I also hated the lore. I disliked the lore from the base game, but the DLC I actually hated. It's actually so bad it makes me like Doom 2016 less. While I haven't played Doom Eternal yet, I have been spoiled on (some of) the lore via YouTube videos by certain reviewers, which made me look up the …

Well, I finally beat Doom Eternal: Ancient Gods . Both of them. I think I...hated it? The level design got even more simplistic, with fairly straightforward "arena with 2-5 waves of enemies, jumping puzzles, arena with 2-5 waves of enemies". Except it's even more obnoxious than usual with the spirit …

I beat Doom Eternal today. It was OK I guess. Almost every change from Doom 2016 was a thing I turned my nose up to at first. The jumping puzzle sequences, the reliance on the flamebelch, chainsaw and glory kills to manage your resources, even the 1up system I came to view as cheapening the …
