I’m probably still gonna try it later, managed to re-format the laptop back to windows and get it working again… still no issues outside linux related things but I’m open to the possibility that it might just be bad luck with hardware.

Mentioned in a different comment but I have installed a custom win10 on this same laptop with this same USB stick before.

Reporting back, rufus fucked it up even more, laptop is now bricked. I know y’all are gonna say it has nothign to do with Linux but it was working perfectly for years right up until today when I tried to install Mint.

(Bricked as in boots up but won’t boot to the Linux preview OR windows, possibly salvagable with a windows boot stick but currently a paperweight)

I mean I got past that part as per the list. I’ve installed a custom win10 on the same laptop using the same USB before and it worked flawlessly. So far Mint just seems to be far more finicky about hardware than win10.

I followed the instructions to use Etcher, etcher itself crashed but it was a pretty easy fix running it in administrator mode and apparently a known issue. Its weird because the live preview works fine. The stick was made on the same machine I’m trying to install linux on.

Is it more understandable can civ 6? I’m a fan of goddamn stellaris and could competently play civ 5 but civ 6 is like being beaten half to death with a textbook on quantumn physics and then told to sit an exam. The tutorial prepares you for the game about as much as a stick of chewing gum prepares you for the beating.

Art is incredibly valubable, other than wars most of the stuff we remember about past situations is some kind of art (statues, stories, graffiti) Artists on the other than have no percieved value whatsoever.

Honestly I can’t think of a recent game I enjoyed that wasn’t a narrative-driven story rich game.

When I was a kid I got spore (on CD)

• Installer crashed
• Installer crashed
• Installer crashed
• You have used up your limit of 3 installs, if you want to play buy a new disk.

Luckily a family friend was good with computers and managed to force it to work anyway but it was my first and last experience with EAs bullshit.

Nah Nintendo has hated Melee in particular basically since Brawl released as it continues to compete with new releases. More recently a community made online + rollback mod has drawn Nintendos usual emulation ire.

Unbound was basically dead on arrival, its practically just heat with re-shade and barely any actual new content.

I agree the main story isn’t that re-playable, though I’d say phantom liberty is worth 2 playthroughs because the endings diverge pretty heavily and actually have gameplay to go with them. I find the best way to play it is to do minnimal main story, crank up the difficulty, maybe install some mods and then play it as an rpg with all the side gigs.

Installed just using Vortex Mod Manager, played on very hard and trying to pick the stats and gear that I think I would pick if I actually got isekai’d into cyberpunk or something, also no crafting guns except when home at my apartment.

Echo the Dolphin being purged is worth the loss of the other 59.

If the planets are static and its just the ship that has to calculate N-body physics then its a pretty simple summing of vectors. It only becomes a problem when you have multiple non-static bodies that interact with eachother being simulated.

The final, ultimate, last, epilogue, finishing, concluding update.

Most gamers don’t know that easy anti-cheat is a rootkit to begin with.

I remember reading that Japan is very weird in regards to patent law, there’s almost no oversight whatsoever even for incredibly basic concepts like a title screen but there’s kind of a general agreement not to sue eachother. Assuming thats true Nintendo is currently burning a lot of face right now by breaking that precident.

Good idea bad execution, if it had escalated to raiding a warehouse full of people strapped into vr goggle to up their view numbers and destroying a crowdfunded giant laser to carve their faces on the moon then they could have made for really good villains. Instead we got stale memes, also the final boss fight was somehow worse than BL1.

I feel like the villains weren’t awful (yes the rest of the writing was awful) but gearbox didn’t really commit to the bit hard enough. At the start of the game they were clearly being set up as vapid streamer culture twins but it never really escalated beyond that, instead of ticktock villains we just got villains who happen to use ticktock. It was like if upon reaching the city in BL2 Handsome Jack just continued being a corrupt CEO with a penchant for robots and didn’t spiral all the way into megolomania.
