This game bugged me, it totally missed the SCP vibe for me and it put me off. I also found the combat pretty boring.

I always liked the way that SCP is about a bureaucratic organisation trying to control and contain these supernatural entities. In Control they live inside an entity and literally let one control the organisation. That just seems so anti-SCP to me.

I do this, it’s been one with other providers but I don’t use Netflix.

I’ve been running Linux for two years but I do find it’s not as easy to use as Windows still, but it’s not worlds apart like it once was. However I didn’t have the experience you had, mine was pretty smooth. I spent some time working quirks out but nothing was breaking, it was just tweak isn’t it to the way I want it. Maybe try hopping to a different distro if you’re having bad luck with that one. I was on Fedora and it’s pretty solid now.

Corel Linux. It didn’t last long because it didn’t play my games.

I game on Fedora because it was just the OS I installed on my gaming PC when I moved to Linux. Everything is fine between Steam, Heroic, and Lutris. The NVIDIA drivers were easy to install from the App Store and the only game that doesn’t run well is Death Loop but there’s been some updates and I haven’t tried it in six months so it may be better now. There was a memory leak apparently but I think there were more problems.

Plus it’s a backup location for stuff I simply can’t lose, like the photos of my daughter being born and my wedding. I don’t want to trust them to some company that might suddenly go into administration without any notice.

I am just because it’s so cheap. On the family plan I get 5TB of storage for £10.49. Proton costs more than that for 500GB.

Me either. Works great on Windows but I moved to Linux a year and a half ago and it’s always been broken.

I liked this game but the combat really killed it for me. The enemies just move too quickly and in a game about conserving ammo it was way too hard to reliably hit them.

Aren’t they only being asked to open source the servers at the end of a a game’s life?

I don’t really care that much. I’m quite happy for AI to be used to create more content in my games wherever it’s appropriate. If a company can use AI to create all the mundane background content that nobody really wants to make then who cares? It doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re going to fire people, it might just be the same people making more content.

Also, I know they were using it for translations. AI is actually excellent at translating and it’s better than not having them.

It’s not even clear what changed.

Just something to bear in mind regarding OneDrive; the unofficial clients don’t have access to certain APIs that the official clients use meaning that it only syncs every 5 minutes at best. As far as I know there’s nothing you can do about it.

Linux is way easier than it was even 10 years ago and many games run better on Linux than they do on Windows. There’s gaming distros but I’m not sure what the benefit is other than the built-in NVIDIA drivers. I just game on Fedora. You need to enable Proton stuff in the settings and you’re off.

I get the sentiment but there’s probably bigger things that we should be campaigning for than saving NFS: The Crew.

Let me know if you figure out how to get UO working on Wine. I have to use the online client.

This is just some glitch. They’ve not said anything about watching stuff locally becoming a pay thing.

I’ll probably keep using it and see what happens. To be honest I’ll just go where the content is, and if the new people fuck it up it’ll likely go elsewhere.

I rushed to the comments when I saw a 1.6ghz CPU being called low end but I see OPs already been dealt with. I remember the first ever 1ghz CPU being an overclocked nitrogen cooled AMD Athlon. Me and my mates were all talking about it when it happened.

I think if you wiped everyone’s prior experience and knowledge and all that stuff, like just wiped the slate clean and presented all the OSes for what they are and let everyone choose which on they got to use, things would land pretty much where they are right now. Linux is generally way easier than it was 10 years ago but it’s still far too tricky for most normal users. If it’s too difficult for them to use then they effectively don’t have a computer and it’s useless to them. Linux may be free but after dropping £1000+ on a laptop people don’t mind so much paying an extra £70 for the software.

The two most important things to normal people are good looks and ease of use and Linux comes in last in both of those races.

Linux isn’t for normal people, it’s made by nerds for nerds.
