I do wonder what the numbers are as far as piracy goes. I feel like it has to be a really low number. Honestly the biggest thing that I feel helps against piracy is continual and useful updates. Typically scene releases get an initial update near the release and thats it. Then if you pirate the game you are missing out on years of performance increases, bug fixes, and more

Could be, possibly, maybe, if it works, if its reliable, we hope, if its affordable that it could change how people use glasses.

Same here

I’ve been enjoying CachyOS as well. I haven’t gone digging into documentation too much but when I search I typically end up on Arch related forums. Chatgpt helps a lot too.

Right, if people didn’t pay the exorbitant prices then they wouldn’t charge it. It’s pretty simple.

MacOS monte - 485
MacOS Ventura - 327
Placebo - Without You I’m Nothing - 263
Monkey Island 1 - 243
ACE - 165
AmigaPower - 154
Weekly Famitsu 1993 Complete - 141

Too bad that won’t motivate Capcom to put any effort into Dragon’s Dogma 2.

It won’t go down by much either and then will magically disappear right before the next gen comes out making sure nobody gets a discount.

I would dual boot first. I’m doing that myself at the moment with Pop OS. I disconnected my existing drives leaving just the drive I’d install Linux to. Ran the installer, then reconnected. I hit f12 at boot to select startup. I did this to avoid dealing with grub or messing with the windows bootloader. I haven’t had good experiences with it in the past.

My biggest problem with trying Linux at the moment is I have a USB audio mixer that Linux refuses to enable. I can tell it sees it, it just won’t list it as a selectable audio device or send audio through to it. So I have no sound.

The Japanese company stopped selling on Amazon after noticing that third-party merchants were offering games for sale in the US at prices that undercut Nintendo’s advertised rates, according to a person familiar with the situation. Enterprising sellers were buying Nintendo products in bulk in Southeast Asia and exporting them to the US, said the person, who requested anonymity to discuss confidential information.

How dare you!

3 lap racing local co-op mode to unlock tracks and bonus content was the bread and butter for me. So few games have a co-op campaign. I also enjoyed local battle modes as well. They never updated battle mode once in MK8.

I’ve been using Pop OS on an old surface pro I have. I was surprised everything just worked out of the box. I’ve been enjoying it so far but haven’t done much other than web browsing and using a few applications. I’ll have to try a dual boot on my gaming PC.

The depression in the air on a Sunday is palpable.

Is it normal to find 80 chemicals in say a plastic bottle of water? I have no frame of reference.

That is wild they’ve never met.

I’m a big fan of the Inspector Morse series. Theres the original series called Inspector Morse made in the late 80s. Then a show called Lewis made in the early 2000s. Then Endeavour which is a prequel to Inspector Morse which was made recently. All are good in their own way. These are all very slow, methodical, and long episodes made by ITV in the UK. There are loose overarching plot elements in each show that roll out slowly over the seasons. I have to be in a mood to watch them though. Usually late winter, or fall is when that happens.

Here’s the article about the class action lawsuit - https://themarkup.org/impact/2025/05/02/after-markup-investigation-linkedin-and-google-face-lawsuit-alleging-improper-access-to-health-data

Google translates that as Intergalactic Bow Community =\

Thanks for the write up. I’ll give it a shot and see what its like. Another point of concern was the amount of tweaking I’d have to do. I’m used to quite a few games in Windows not working well out of the gate but it kind of drives me nuts. So I wouldn’t want more of that in Linux. My steam library looks like this:

Its primarily issues reported on the linux gaming subreddit. You can just do a search on that sub. One of the more recent posts that really illustrated how bad things were (to me) was this post: https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1l4ntj6/i_give_up_on_linux_for_now/
