  • sample size of 1, admittedly, but there’s so few times I’ve managed to break arch - which I can’t 100% attribute to myself.

    Once the updates broke, somehow wiping bash -binary and kernel. Not entirely sure how or why, all I did was a normal pacman -Suy. I might have issued the pacman -command from a long path which didn’t exist anymore, not sure if relevant or not. Hasn’t happened since, so… dunno. It did spook me a bit, but nobody else at the time reported similar issues.

    I’ve ran arch for years at work (webdevelopment, desktop and laptop), home server (irc shell, mumble, etc hosting) and now home desktop too (gaming, media, dualbooting with win10).

    The home server has required a powerbutton -forced boot once or twice, many months of uptime & regular kernel updates can apparently mess something with networking and usb, so can’t ssh in and keyboard doesn’t get regognized when plugged in. So, you know, reboot after kernel updates? :D

    It’s always a good idea to check the website for breaking changes which require manually doing something, there has been a few along the years.








  • Got to play it with someone for a bit, they seemed to know where all the neat things were (iirc, the murals, scarf lengthening thingies, etc). But due to the inability to communicate more than just “dings” I couldn’t convey that I needed a quick toilet break. They were gone after I came back, which was a bit sad but I probably wouldn’t have stayed waiting either, tbh.

    It was quite okay, I recall playing it through twice, but the second round didn’t really offer much in terms of “value” over the first. Cool visuals and concept, though.

    Other somewhat similar vibing games which I somewhat relate to Journey:

    • Sable - Somewhat similar character designs, quite a bit more scifi and some dialogue. Pretty cool 3d platformer puzzle.
    • Proteus - walking-sim, graphics are those “if atari 2600 could do 3d”. Kinda cool experience, but also kinda one-and-done.




  • Last Epoch

    playing offline because that’s where all my stuff is as last I checked the online was a disaster. Other than that, it’s pretty cool ARPG. Though I have some thoughts about some “gearcheck” -type bosses. After ~180h (since beta) or whatever, I’m still thinking it’s a solid 7/10. Fairly enjoyable, but not greatest of all time by any stretch.

    It’s completely stupid and I love it. Essentially wannabe-“spööktubers” take a camera and few flashlights into dark, abandoned industrial complex to film something spooky, just to gain views on “Spööktube”. Views gain you money, money buys you gear.

    The dives to the industrial complex are very short too, as you can only film so much (90s max, it seems), and the monsters are hella deadly. Either the camera gets filled or everyone is dead in minutes.

    The footage can be saved as .webm -videos to desktop, which is GREAT






  • Assuming you know what you’re doing, maybe some script? At least on linux something like this seems to work:

    #!/bin/bash
    
    urls_file="${HOME}/path/to/url_list.txt";
    sleep_time=1;
    
    while read -r line;
    do
        firefox "${line}";
        sleep ${sleep_time};
    done < "${urls_file}";
    

    edit: heh, tried to delete this as irrelevant, as I entirely missed the clipboard & requirement for a button IN firefox… but it didn’t really delete it seems. Oh well, leaving this in for laughs.

    Anyhoo, if you need to speed up/throttle the link opening somehow, maybe add some incremental counter there and skip sleeping if counter < 10 or whatever.
