I will be looking into this further, thanks for the tip.

I have to set up my pc for dual boot, choose a distro, install it, get it to work if theres any issues, then sort out whats different then try and install all my apps and games to figure out what does and doesnt work from those.

Its not that I dislike Linux or have anything against it but Ive been running Windows since 1996, I know how to do things already. I just want MS to just stop being “helpful” and fuck off. The quest for ongoing revenue means that is unlikely though.

I might give Linux a try when my daughter is a bit older and I have some free time. I like the IDEA of it, but I know Windows now and already.

I dont want to have to use what limited spare time I have to learn how to use Linux, I dont have the time its that simple. I have a pc, it just WORKS. Literally everything I want to do just works. I just want to have the start menu do exactly what I want, stop recommending me onedrive, stop showing me advertisements in outlook and stop giving us privacy invading features nobody wants.

As much as I hate advocating FOR subscriptions. If Microsoft told me for $10 a month I could just have windows with all the options for me to run it HOW I FUCKING WANT as opposed to how they think I should. Id pay it.

You mean this Anime? thats full and free on YT.

Id argue that the Anime is a better Streetfighter 2 movie, The live action is just peak 90s ridiculous fun. Also RIP Raul Julia.

I think you’re absolutely right. Personally I see the next big switch will be to handhelds. The ability to just pick my switch up and take it wherever I’m going is the primary reason I own it. They will do the premium one with the screen and controls and the “lite” edition will need a tv.

I wouldnt be surprised if MS and Sony eventually step out of the hardware game either entirely or mostly and simply licence out a “Playstation phase # compatable” certification to others (that you need a PSN subscription to use) so you know that that Steam Deck/MSI whatever/Asus handheld will play anything from the X generation of playstation titles or older available.

From what I heard Asrock became a joke quality wise and got the shits about being the lowest quality mainstream manufacturer and did something about it.

At least that feels sort of organic.

Theres a classy (well… less sleazy) way to do it. if EA want to make the billboards in the next Need for Speed game real advertisements it wouldnt feel as bad as unskippable 30 second video advertisements before each race.

The problem is they will do both.

Nah, just a regular shoe. Not too hard. Just enough to convince him to get Fallout right.

Todd Howard needs a kick in the crotch.

Add the Marilyn Manson version instead.

Except Hallelujah isnt a Christmas song. Its just been co-opted by christians who went “that word is in our book!”

Its as much of a christmas song as Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode.

While I dont like 90% of their catalogue, the Pentatonix version is amazing.

Its easily one of my 5 favorite games of all time. Done at least 6 playthroughs. 2 tough guy ones.

The fact that everyone seems to forget Fallout:Tactics when discussing the series makes me so mad.

Its a fantastic game.

Nice try 4chan, last time I microwaved an Iphone.

That with handhelds like the steam deck becoming more and more popular the time and expense of developing your own hardware, controllers and ecosystem is making less sense.

They may still develop their own handhelds but system exclusives make less sense that just making a subscription to PSN or Xbox live

I do wonder if its a help or a hinderance though.

If someone wanted to start a community they might actually do something to generate interest, nobody wants to put the effort in to build up a community that the mod can just ban them from or they look and go “Its not that theres nothing, theres just no interest.”

I think the problem is that theres a lot of niche communities created for an exodus from Reddit that didnt really happen.

If you search for a certain community and find that yeah it exists but nobody has posted there in 6 months…

Just because its vapid stupid consumer privacy invading bullshit doesnt mean the tech isnt cool or interesting.
