Couldn’t have put it better myself

I hate C++ but I hate Adobe more

Fair. YS really is to BBT what BCS is to BB. So if you already don’t like BCS then YS is a hard sell.
Do keep an eye out for Stuart Fails to Save the Universe tho. Sci-fi sequel to BBT, sadly weekly episodes but quite enjoyable from the 2 episodes I’ve watched.

ugh I really like that show, it’s one of my comfort shows, and I really like the extended Big Bang Universe. It’s sad the show gets such a bad rap but it’s also not entirely unwarranted. The characters do feel really fleshed out, like they’re actual people who are the result of their life experiences. But if you can’t stand the way that Sheldon is, or the laugh track, or any combination thereof, the show really is impenetrable.
And annoyingly Young Sheldon goes on to be a really amazing prequel, but you need to watch and enjoy BBT first to get the most out of YS.
Honestly I hated BBT for the longest time too. Only a few years ago could I actually get into it.

You are forgetting number 4 which is already impacting the industry: people preferring to watch TikTok instead of playing games

I still have rather fond memories of shopping at Walmart in Germany. Tho I was a child and it always was more of an experience than a chore. Then Wexit happened and the world’s gone to shit ever since

For most players right now, Elytra is installed and may be running in the background, but it is not yet enforcing anti-cheat protections.

Neat, so it’s safe to assume this stuff is already reporting stuff back to HQ. Sure that’s just speculation, but why else would you run a program on your players’ PCs if it isn’t doing anything yet. Happy to be proven wrong but it’s sus.

The job is killing my mum and idk how to help her. Sadly because she doesn’t have education she can’t get any high paying jobs so she has just been doing warehouse work the past 10 years. Although she works in production they make her do warehouse as well. she’s physically exhausted every day, has nightmares and tells me she’s sometimes afraid to fall asleep…
And I feel so helpless…
I mean if I as a experienced dev can’t even find a job anymore, what luck does she have of finding smth new.

I was just making a joke don’t take thing so seriously

Just my two cents. Because I’m so broke my wallet doesn’t hold more than that

HOLY SHIT IT WORKED! Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

ok this is surprising, ill try it out in a few

Yeah from what I found that whole “udev create the drives” thing holds true, but I gotta say, that’s above my paygrade :D
I couldn’t find out how I could tell udev to mount the drives already. I only found one thing where someone said his problem was fixed by telling dracut not to include udev, but dracut immediately was like “im not gonna build u a initrd without udev cause all those other modules rely on it”… fair enough.

Yeah the story absolutely didn’t grab me. Spent most of the time confused and asking myself lots of questions, then the big twist happens n I’m like yeahnah this ain’t it chief. And the ending ugh.

4. the game is actually good and you enjoy it but some time down the line the devs completely fuck the game up
5. the game is actually good and you enjoy it but underlying problems don’t get addressed and new issues keep piling up, eventually you realize that your vision for the game and the devs’ vision don’t align

Every now and then I try NMS again after like a couple of big updates have dropped and I’m like “bro this is the same game as before water you all on about” (exaggerating a little but that’s basically how I feel). Still I can’t hate the devs since they’ve poured 10 years of additional work into the game at no cost to us.

Initially the parry and dodge mechanics are great. They’re presented like an option for higher skilled players who are used to tight timings to get an advantage in combat while people more accustomed to the traditional “trading blows” style can still enjoy combat that way.
But the game never tells you that perfect parrying and dodging are actually not an option but the required style of combat since taking any damage later on is basically instant death. You’re just not gonna be able to tank a full combo while ignoring the dodge and parry mechanics.
Oh and then the enemies do that Elden Ring delayed attack thing. I like ER but seriously fuck that game for introducing this style of attack pattern. Yeah let me just swing my giant sword but mid-swing take a coffee break… ER wanted to present a challenge to the absolute wizards who play Dark Souls SL1 no-hit, so why did E33 copy that?

Expedition 33. I’m not a huge turn based fan anymore but gave it a shot because of the rave reviews. And initially I liked it a lot actually. It had the UE5 default realistic look I loathe but the combat was fun.
And then it became unfun. Severely so. I started to dread every major combat encounter.
But the reviews were so positive so I pushed thru, I hated playing the game but told myself I’ll see it through to the end, and I did.
I regret that. Having to keep playing despite disliking it probably soured my experience way more than if I had just stopped playing. On the other hand I now have the full picture of the game and know it doesn’t get better and it’s not worth finishing.
The worst combat encounters were the fights where the attack itself is a minute long cutscene, then without warning you get 150ms to time your party perfectly, or you die and restart. Unforgivable.

I’m on a RTX 4080 so I’m most definitely not switching to AMD just for Linux’s sake. Tho as I sad EOS worked perfectly out of the box with all my hardware which was quite a surprise to me. I’ve had bad NVIDIA experience in the past, but that was also like 10 years ago with a Quadro card so… :D
More surprising was that my audio interface worked, but since it doesn’t have Linux drivers, all Linux could do was play audio thru it, so most of the cool functionality just doesn’t work.
