Yeah I’m waiting for those. Truth be told, the process of modifying my Arch to have XFCE and remove KDE completely without reinstalling was… A trip. At least for the foreseeable future, I want to leave it as is, since it’s working and it looks very nice to me.

Used Mint with Cinnamon for a long time, but always wanted to try KDE after distrohopping a bit. Had it on when I switched to Arch, but didn’t like how slow it felt on my old laptop so I tried LXQt and then XFCE. I wanted a modern lightweight environment with Wayland support, but I’ll have to wait for it to be implemented. In the meantime, I riced my XFCE just how I like it, and I really like how complete and responsive it is.

Happened to me yesterday too, when I tried loading Tubular on my phone. Trying to go to the page to solve the captcha would give me an error code too, and later trying to load the YT page on my regular browser at the PC also gave me “you are offline” errors on every new page load, although a refresh would make it work (but not load stream chats or comments)

Today everything seems to be working again. I haven’t tried refreshing my subscribed channels in the app yet, given that I follow 750 of them, that’s probably what’s triggering this.

It’s the bit about RIPPING AND TEARING them to bits and rebuilding the Earth at the end.

Cool!

Demonoid, absolutely! Warez-bb, and many oldschool GeoCities blogs. I remember one that had portable cracks of any programs you could imagine.

Same thing happened to me a few years ago. My old laptop from 2013 is hardware incompatible with something in modern Windows10 and when it tried installing the late 2019 update it just died. Had to buy a new laptop to keep working.

Today, that same laptop is happily running Arch Linux. I’m still trying to decide what I’ll do with the main gaming PC.

As someone who recently switched to Arch (btw) I finally figured out how much work the distros were doing in the background. Between default applications and configurations, there was a lot of stuff I had to learn to do on the fly. I’m happy with my system now though, since it’s just the way I wanted it to be.

There’s way too much stuff in there, but as of right now I think it’s Mechanicus, and the Serious Sam HD remasters, thanks to a recommendation in another thread just now. I also have a couple interesting demos I downloaded. The problem is, I haven’t played anything from my Steam at all in the past month or so. Everything I’ve been gaming has been outside of it.

Also hilariously, these Serious Sam games were the literal first games I bought when I created my Steam account and I never played through them. They were an impulse buy from a friend’s recommendation back in the day but I wasn’t as into boomer shooters as I am now.

It’s alright. Any problems I could say I had with the gameplay are just parts that they faithfully adapted from the original. The artstyle and mech designs are a little bit different from the originals due to the shift to 3D, but as a game it’s a perfectly good adaptation. Nothing to complain about.

an update for the first remake? now that the third one is about to come out? uh, okay. we take those.

There’s even launchers that do the work of the batch files for you! I like using Doom Explorer or Doom Runner for that. You set it up with your ports, point it at your wads folder and then you can save preset combinations of mods, it’s so practical.

All of them? I’ve always liked (and preferred) Linux for dev work, as I’m just so comfortable around working with the commandline and installing packages that I might need. For that end, any of them would work, you’d just need to set them up with what you want. If you wanna be “cool” and “hacker” you could install Arch and install every last package manually handpicked, or you could go with the most bog standard Ubuntu or Fedora or OpenSUSE. All of them work, it’s only down to your tools. If you like Kali, stick with it.

I immediately sought out working backups of both Yuzu and Ryujinx. The “bright side” of this situation is that it pissed me off enough to go acquire both the new Zelda game that potentially caused this whole situation by being leaked early, and the game that was at the absolute top of my to-play list: Unicorn Overlord. So far it is looking like a fantastic game.

I’m thinking less bribe and “laughing away to the bank” and more of a “Nintendo threatened to ruin their life with legal fees if it wasn’t taken down”. The frivolity of said case is irrelevant when they just bully normal people legally like that.

In the modern age, we all need to be our own archivists, saving whatever we can from a perpetually burning Library of Alexandria. This is why pirates are a community, each one saves a little bit of history that matters to them, and then we share.

access to everything that isn’t bogged down by stupid licensing deals, too. so many things just disappear because someone wants someone else to keep paying for that one song they added in a single episode 15 years ago.

Welcome to CompSci university! Hope you enjoy your stay. There will be lots of maths. When I did my degree, it was my first experience with Linux too, and it was great. They eventually taught me how to install it myswlf on my laptop, and all of the student network PCs ran Debian. I later became part of the sysadmin team as my internship work, and learned a lot there. Now, 11 years later, I’m still a Linux diehard and much prefer working on it, and have been transferring my gaming over to Linux too.

I don’t know either, and I haven’t been able to use spotify_player in a while, either in my Linux or Windows machines because of that. Already ended up accidentally resetting my Spotify password 2-3 times trying to solve that.

The new Kex port is great for it’s accessibility for new players not used to the Doom sourceports scene, but I guess there’s still a few kinks to solve. I still end up preferring to play on my other sourceports (Woof! Is my favorite) but I gotta get back to it to actually finish Legacy of Rust later. At least this new port is MUCH better on the console versions now, if only the Switch version had proper access to the player uploaded addons…

In the meantime Ive been going through Freedoom 2, and I hear people are adapting the assets of the new mapping format into an open sourced version. Looking forward to that.
