It’s porn

that face when when when

We can fit one more “when” in there somehow, I’m sure of it.

Yeah, I was all like “Wait, Telltale still exists?”

I’m pretty sure no card can conjure me into existence, no matter how many or few lines of text they have… :P

No, see, he’s like santa. He can break the sound barrier under his own power in his goal to spread e. coli.

I know it’s tangential to your comment, but I need to get this off my chest. I hate when things like Epic’s stance is framed as “not supporting” linux, when in reality they barely need to do anything to let the game run there. What they’re doing is actively detecting and blocking it.

Supposedly, 666 being a bad number is a mistranslation, and the actual bad number is 616. This is according to an old episode of QI.

Or you could not believe in evil numbers.

The only real difference is being fairly certain that anything you buy on GOG will be DRM-free, since that is their stated policy and they offer the standalone installers for download. Granted they also offer a launcher like Steam, and if you’re only using that then you’re no better off; if a game gets delisted and you don’t have the installers archived you may be out of luck, depending on the details.

That said you are right, the problem is the laws and the publishers. But getting access to those offline installers certainly doesn’t hurt, in the meantime.

This will almost certainly happen.

There’s no way Unreal is completely free of inherent tech debt. But at the same time, there’s no way it doesn’t have way less baggage than the creation engine. Epic actually work on it, for a start.

Yeah, I would rather wait for the one active checkout rather than have to go through the rigmarole of scanning one item, putting it in the bag, waiting for it to register before doing the next. The employees get to scan multiple things at once and do things like “scanned item x6”. Until self-checkout technology advances to the point I can do the same, it can fuck right off.

They should. They don’t really have a good track record for quality, but the first step is trying.

So this is that mewing thing I’ve heard about, right?

I’ve had another try, this time I set chattr +C on the image directory just in case my using btrfs was causing issues.

I had a VM but somehow the virtual drive got corrupted? And it wouldn’t let me install, update or uninstall VC++ runtime as a result. I’m gonna try again later, but it’s a worrying start.

Life when a Vector is a cool crocodile wearing headphones.

I remember hearing on QI about a snake that eats a poisonous frog in order to become poisonous itself. Don’t think it was Australian but who knows.

The point of use flags is to make it so if you don’t want to print, every package that would otherwise pull in CUPS as a dependency can be compiled without it. Stuff like that.

Gentoo also has a good system for handling multiple concurrent installs of different versions of some packages, e.g python.

If there’s software you want to install from source that uses automake it’s pretty simple to build your own package for it.

Very much a system for doing things your way, and a good way to learn linux IMO. To that end, no there is no installer, but the process is not that complex. Boot a live USB, partition and format a drive, download and extract a base system, install a kernel (there is a fits-most-needs one available now), install a bootloader. Reboot into your new system and continue installing what you need from there.

Not for me, I fear. If I’m playing a turn based game I don’t want there to be reflex challenges.

Sounds interesting, I’d try it but I’m lazy.

However, I will say that anyone who openly condemns this – or any food preference – without trying it is the biggest whiney poopoo baby coward on the planet.
