It seems kind of disingenuous to compare enterprise support contracts for Linux to personal Windows licenses. Especially while also ignoring that you do pay for Windows, it’s just hidden in the cost of the device.

Though it is also true that Linux is gratis and Windows is not.

It also helps that Steam sales are nowhere near as good as they used to be. I don’t even remember the last time I saw a 90+% discount, but there was a time when they’d pop up regularly during the winter sale.

But yeah, these days my standard for even considering a purchase is “will I play it right now?”

IMO the early game exploration rush is the best part. Anomalies and archaeological digs give that great Star Trek vibe that kind of goes away once everyone is settled into their borders.

In fairness, the first iteration of that deal was Pepsi for Stolichnaya.

On the other side [Wayland] is buggy af.

I’ve been having the exact opposite problem since recently coming back to Linux after a long hiatus. For me, Wayland has been flawless, while anything x11 looks like somebody ran the screen through a shredder, discarded half the strips, and smooshed the rest back together.

I don’t know how to troubleshoot that. I don’t even know what to type in a search engine to get relevant results.

I’ve been having a good time with Heart of the Machine, in which you play as a nascent AI figuring out how to survive in a sprawling cyberpunk city.

Hmm. I wonder what the nature of Owlcat’s relationship with GW is? Was the recent Rogue Trader game part of an ongoing licensing deal or just a one-off?

Or DOS Shell.

This is much prettier, though.

Pfft, catapults. A trebuchet can launch a 90kg advertisement over 300 meters.

He did specify a large 3D printer. So it might be 2 or even 3 feet in length.

There are Scrabble dictionaries, but they’re mostly for convenience.

The actual rule is that you can use any word that appears in a standard English dictionary, except for suffixes, prefixes, abbreviations, or anything that requires a hyphen, apostrophe, or capital letter.

It’s amazing how often things are similar to what they are.

First I misread the headline as “transgender cows” and then you’re in the comments talking about straight people insulin.

I think it’s time for bed.

Jojo Rabbit featured Jewish Maori Hitler and was very well received.

I don’t think there’s much they could do to make the environment more interesting, since the setting is what it’s meant to be

The hell it is. According to the in-game book Provinces of Tamriel:

Cyrodiil is the cradle of Human Imperial high culture on Tamriel. It is the largest region of the continent, and most is endless jungle.

Emphasis mine. And when I say in-game, that book was literally in Oblivion.

Oil is corrosive? Doesn’t it usually prevent steel from rusting?

Not exactly what you’re talking about, but LeVar Burton Reads is amazing, too. It’s like Reading Rainbow for grownups.

Yeah it was my first real encounter with wh40k, and I really enjoyed it.

That said, I felt that act 3 massively overstayed its welcome, and act 5 seemed kind of vestigial.

In retrospect, I also think the RP and faction system didn’t really work given what it’s meant to represent. You’re supposed to be unimaginably wealthy, with the output of entire planets at your disposal. You should be able to get a basically unlimited number of anything non-unique. But the way it’s implemented means that your ability to actually purchase anything is still limited by the value of whatever junk you found lying around, in a way that is significantly less flexible than a traditional cash-and-vendors rpg economy.

Oh, and can anyone give me an in-universe explanation for why “scrap” continues to be a limited resource after Kiava Gamma and/or Vheabos VI?

Well, that all came out sounding rather negative, but as I said I really did enjoy it. Those are really my only complaints.
