  • 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.










  • 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.






  • Update: I’m giving up. I tried every solution I could find. Tried the LTS kernel, fucking around with dracut options. I don’t know what the issue is or how to fix it.

    I’ll be backing up my shit now and will move back to windows until I can find the brain power necessary for a reinstall.

    Don’t know yet if I’ll stick to EndeavourOS or try nix or something, EOS worked out of the box with my NVIDIA card.

    I want to thank everyone for your support. I would not have guessed for this issue to be so deep that it couldn’t be fixed, it is what it is I guess.
