Took my first steps last night, I flashed a USB stick with Mint Cinnamon and gave it a spin. Looks like it’ll handle everything I need to just fine, so imma start partitioning and backing up the next couple evenings and just go for it. I’ve installed Linux before, but only really as temporary solutions. I’m looking forward to making it my daily driver and learning the system.

While true, I don’t see Valve selling out to Microsoft.

Hey, so… it’s been two weeks. The addiction deepens. I’ve got the whole game on two systems now. I’m trying to use the wiki while still finding surprises lol.

This game is the shit and I thank you for driving me to it

Concord/Firewalk is gonna be a running joke for years to come

Oh man I can’t even imagine how much is squirreled away if you’re still finding stuff like that, damn! Gonna get my money’s worth out of this game for sure

I also finally grabbed Balatro so it seems I’m in full dopamine mode now, see yall in a few months

Oh buddy. Finally sat down to play it with my kid and she was HOOKED, her maniacal laughter at Pentagram was worth every penny. Immediately blew several hours, I’m thinking most of tomorrow too.

The DLC slaps too! That Contra one is super fun. I’m gonna be at this for a while. It’s a really good one to chill in after playing some Mechwarrior, too - one game where you have to consciously use everything at all times, and another where it’s just “LOL BOOM”

I love it.

Man I picked this up and spent ALL DAY yesterday on it, it’s so much fun! I got one character up to level 60+ in the second level (library) yesterday, he was effectively unkillable with Garlic, Runetracer, Magic Wand, etc all going at once.

This game is super satisfying and I absolutely had dreams about it, Tetris-style. I got the DLC for good measure and what I’ve tried is really good! More of the game but with some extra stuff going on. I’m gonna get so many hours out of this! And might need a third controller so I can play with my wife and my kid.

I knew a guy who got real into it and started an “Accidental Cannibal Cult”. It was fun to listen to, if nothing else - I don’t get into those games much. Kinda like hearing EVE Online or Dwarf Fortress stories.

The “jousting” at 45sec got me.

Every time I see “Bobby Kotick” I hear it in that bit from Parks and Rec where they keep repeating “Bobby Newport” more ludicrously

BAH-BEE KOH-TICKKKKKKK

Idk, BF3 was probably the last time I seriously played it but even then I missed Bad Company 2. THAT was peak Battlefield and it only had like a dozen players in a match or something.

Honestly, not really. I’m just kind of at a point in my life where it’s something I’m thinking about looking into, and an out-of-the-box option like this would be really handy.

I’d probably buy it.

It’s tempting lol

There are some legit pros in my local Smash scene, I ain’t going to any of those tournaments lol

I am WAY ootl on shopping for PCs and hardware, all the sites I used last time i did anything (god, around like 2008?) are quite defunct. Anywhere you’d recommend looking for a desktop like you’re talking about? I’d love to get my home on a selfhosted network.

It’s hard to beat the old Trent Reznor
