Arma is soo good. Some of my fondest gaming memories come from Arma 3.

Been using fish for the first time since switching to Linux couple days ago. It’s cool but man do I miss !$ a lot.

You’re not missing anything tho. The only good games that PlayStation are involved with that are good are on PC, and that list is small. I’d say the only Astro Bot and Gran Turismo 7 are games you miss out on. And of the announced games I’d say 2 seem like games you’d be sad about not being able to play them. I’d say let them keep their exclusives. The PlayStation games formula doesn’t really fit on PC anyway.

Just recently switched to Linux and realized I had no htop so I went for btop instead (because I’m trying out loads of new stuff). I’m very happy with it and I love the doom aesthetic of the esc-menu.

This is a really unfair comparison imo. Second Life is all about expressing yourself. And you’re not buying Linden Labs approved corpo collaboration bullshit feat. DJ Music. You’re buying stuff someone else made, and they get paid for that. You build a character that is a digital representation of your inner self.
In Fortnite you buy a skin which is just the current hot flavor of the month. But also: It’s a action game. The goal is to shoot other people, meaning that you obviously do not spend any significant amount of time looking at yourself. And when you look at others, you do not admire their skin, you use your neurons for tracking them.
But also also: Every skin is the same. So when you come across Hatsune Miku, it will always be the same one. These skins aren’t a representation of you, they only signal that you like whatever media they were collaborating with at the time and had $20 lying around you didn’t need.

Naww give me Second Life all day any day.

Honestly the skin prices is what confuses me the most. I don’t get how a company can remain in business with these prices. Welp… guess they can’t?
And the worst part of it all is that even if Epic closed doors tomorrow, the damage is done. I’ve seen $20 skins in a bunch of games now. Paid games even. These absolute fucks normalized this shit, and now the poor devs get to reap the rewards of fucking consumers up the ass.

Well ideally having it on a VPS would give me on-the-go access to the most recent copy, which might not be as important if continuous background sync between my home PC and iOS really works with syncthing.
Having someone steal my keepass database file would be suboptimal, but not the end of the world. I don’t think (or at least I really hope) that current tech can’t brute-force keepass databases.

Thanks everyone. Syncthing does seem like the ideal option for me and what I’ll be going with.

I’d just like to hear opinions if I should also run syncthing on my VPS as well or just on my home PC?

I am so pissed, so unbelievably pissed. I waited all day for the Amazon delivery, only for it to come at like 6:30pm and the motherfucking delivery password thingy didn’t work and he took the package with him. I splurged with some of the rest of my end-of-month money and because of a little technical hiccup I can’t get the package… I get that it should protect against fraud or scams or whatever but omg there should be a way for the driver to immediately get in touch with somebody to get it fixed asap.
I let this fuck in my really unkempt bedroom and even asked if gov ID would work but nah and he bounced.

What if this happens tomorrow again? AAAAA.

Oh my fuck as I wrote this I just found it. Fucking buried deep in a sea of like 10 emails there’s one innocent looking one that’s juuust slightly out of the ordinary. Argh fuck my entire life rn frfr

Aliems

Omg they are. Makes me think either the artist isn’t good at drawing hands and decided to comp in 3D hands, or hand fetish.

Me when I’m completely alone

No I’m very good at what I do, so I’ll stick with that.

Welp. I just lost my job due to AI. I am very afraid of the near future. I don’t do well with change and this is basically maximum change. I’ve wanted to change jobs for a while but haven’t been able to because it frightens me so much…

No but I had a mastodon account and I have like 12 subscribers on YT so it checks out

You don’t get to 47 followers without making enemies

I don’t get to 47 followers at all

We are not the same

Some people really do be homochondriacs

Oh RoR is in no way open world slop. Ubishit execs wish they could make this good of a game (side tangent: I fully believe Ubisoft has the talent to pull this off easily, but the C suite is allergic to good games).
This game has unexpectedly become my “boot up and chill” game for now, and it’s kinda limiting how fast I churn thru my backlog. But I enjoy the fact that it’s a lot lower stakes than Nioh or Dark Souls; with those type of games I have huge startup inertia due to the difficulty.
I’ve also bought wolong and wuchang together with RoR and I am not getting around to playing them hehe.

Oh and if it’s not too late here’s a hint: don’t spend so much time in the character creator for the blade twin you don’t choose as your main one *wink wink

The combat isn’t bad, and the animations are really good (especially getting body slammed by a 600 kg sumo wrestler) but to me it just boils down to parrying until an attack window opens.
I know you have quite a few options with status effects and being able to use two weapons in tandem, but I rarely use those features. Regular enemies die too fast to be worth applying poison and bigger ones take so many hits they don’t get poisoned at all.
And why should I switch weapons if my main weapon deals double the damage of my next best weapon.

So at least for me combat is just rhythmic parrying and attacking. Again not bad but I’ve been able to use the same technique in combat for the 10 hours I’ve played so far and nothing has really forced me to adapt to a different playstyle.

Yeah I play on PC and it runs fine for me maxed out with RT but I have a beefy PC.

It’s a really weird mixture of a lot of games so I can kinda understand why people aren’t into it. I’d say the biggest influence on this game is actually Assassin’s Creed. At least in the way the cities and the world is built. And there are NPCs everywhere, which goes a long way into making this game feel alive.

When you’re out in the open riding a long distance to your next objective you’ll see people walking around, maybe a wandering merchant, a cat or a dog to pet, or something else. This makes the riding feel way better than in Elden Ring even tho mechanically they’re practically identical. But in Elden Ring most of your encounters are gonna be combat based or static NPCs. And I really love that vibe in Rōnin.

Also the Yokohama pleasure district is 10/10 gorgeous.

Currently into Rise Of The Rōnin and omg it’s soo good. The whole atmosphere is so enjoyable to just be in. The combat isn’t anything to write home about but as a whole package it’s better than the sum of its parts. I will never not feel like a badass seamlessly transitioning from flying to horseback riding.
