I was already somewhat interested in Linux (as a long time Windows user) when I started studying Computer Science, mainly for it’s core philosophy of freedom and openness.

Given that most courses used Linux as the default OS I installed Ubuntu on my laptop to dual boot it with Windows, and began getting familiar with it.

Over the years I started using Linux more and more, making it my main OS, with Windows still installed for the few programs I couldn’t use otherwise. Over time this set of programs became smaller and smaller, until it was just games.

Last year I bought and assembled a new PC to replace my laptop for daily uses, and given the higher specs and better support (AMD GPU instead of Nvidia) I see no reason to have Windows on it at all. Everything I need runs perfectly fine there.

I use Arch, btw.

I remember someone saying that it makes sense to price games less in lower income areas of the world, otherwise most people wouldn’t be able to afford them

I used to play BfW a lot, I should try that again

Emacs was my first thought too. I wasn’t sure it had a web browser too, but somehow it felt very likely

Far Cry 6.

I know, I know… But right now the whole “go there and do the thing, good, now go there and do the other thing” is kinda what I need to shut off my brain and have some fun.

And the animated Clone Wars series is a close second

At first I read it as “friendship isn’t real” and thought that was a weird thing to say

Love that the protagonist is as annoyed by it as the player

80 hours in and I’m nowhere near, I’m more likely to spin up a new character than to finish the thing

Not sure if “smaller” but definitely Many A True Nerd. Funny, chaotic, wholesome and total allies with a great community. Plus pets!

I used to just cruise around in The Crew, enjoying a chill ride around

I’ve played the original for years and never found all the secrets. Can’t wait to miss more in the new one

For the curious, rm -fr /

You’ll never be a billionaire if you’re a nice person.

You’ll always lose money caring for stupid shit like paying fair wages to employees, respecting laws and paying taxes.

I saw it can answer if you make it use leetspeak, but I’m not savvy enough to know what that tells about guardtails

Yeah it’s insanely replayable.

Honestly I tried the story mode they added and it doesn’t really add much for me. I’d much prefer if they kept on adding items and challenge runs that force you to make different choices.

One of my most played games is Backpack Hero, a dungeon crawler where inventory management is the core mechanic. The idea is that you don’t just make stuff fit in the available space, but also items position including, but not exclusively, in relation to other items provides various effects and bonuses. This game looks like something akin to that.

I’m sure it’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely satisfying to try coming up with new combos and strategies to get the most ridiculous and overpowered bonuses.

Yeah, but the current government is dangerously trending in that direction

I remember playing Project IGI, that one was hard. Die and you have to redo the entire mission, brutal.

Funny enough, I’m on Arch by choice. I was using it before but it makes sense as having the latest packages is good for gaming on it. Luckily I’ve just been upgraded to a FTTH connection so I’m good on that front.

I had to go back to Xorg though because Wayland was doing some weird shit.
