I mean the game is literally about civilization and how they think it will chug on as a broken machine far past its natural life because it sacrifices the lives of those who live under it starting at the the bottom until the rot grows enough to take all but those that can’t see that it is dead.

Its actually a pretty cool tool for looking at civilization and even has a minimum wage machine in silksong.

Probably, but it is not a gaming device but a network managing one and its been running for way before bazzite and just the thought of having to configure it all again makes my skin crawl.

I dont even game on my Linux system and every time it updates I know I have a frustrating night ahead of me.

Maybe just an Ubuntu thing but actually my steam deck has had to roll back a few times as well… At least it had that option unlike Ubuntu.

Maybe it is because I am using mine for network related apps that they are always what breaks but man it seems like some major backed component gets a rewrite every so often just to see if it is better. I have had so many port issues and network issues it makes me want to be Amish. That and trying to get video thumbnails back that one time. Wasnt a total nightmare but weird that it took me days to figure out that apparently I had to delete the cache then reinstall ffmpegthumbnailer…
So, no, not alone. Hate updates. Hate them so much.

Have you tried Nemo by the way? Kinda like it better than Dolphin.

Yeah. Maybe. I know I will never try arch again and I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be one of the good ones but its been so much stress.
I dont want to have to completely redo my whole system and all the software just to try a different OS flavor

Ah. I have only figured out the check for updates daily, weekly or never options. I am leaning into never as this is the third time an Ubuntu update has made me want to curl up in a ball and die.

I dont find thus constant tech support fun.

Ha! As if Ubuntu didnt update on its own and then completely killed my internet access because it changed the file system of how it stores DNS but didnt somehow do it right to the point of me spending 3 hours figuring out what file I had to recreate and why to get it working again.

Linux is cool but not this make believe version of cool.

I have had my paid of Sony wh1000xm2 for about 7-8 years now. They still sound incredible but the leather is peeling a bit on the replaceable ear covers, I have never got around to it cause they are still comfy. Some of the best noise cancelation ever, wireless and wired operation and controls on the headphones.

Essentially I am saying, a good option would be picking a headphone in that line. Honestly any newer generation is likely to still be incredible and durable.
Just recently I had seen the 5th generation of those headphones on sale with a pair of wireless earbuds as a combo for around $200 and you can get just the headphones for cheaper than that. Or just spend $40-50 and get an old pair of wh1000xm2 and be happy.

I’ve noticed people just back the person speaking the most strongly or is insulting harder as if those are tactics used by people who are commonly right.

Honestly even here on lemmy you get how Trump won.
Even here people can’t help supporting the person acting like they are superior.

I know how you feel, I searched so long for Encounters of the Spooky kind and I still dont have all of Mr, Vampire.
But also, check archive.org and such. Sometimes stuff ends up in the weirdest places on the internet.

Is it cheaper?

I disagree on what it would take to bring me back to Nintendo, cause… I think its ok for them to make a fancy digital toy with games that change how we play with it.

But I want the fancy digital toy to be worth it first and be fun.
Like the DS was a planner and a doodle pad, and a contact book, and a web browser and a gameboy and a DS. They had a version that let me see games in 3D. They had a console that let me swing swords like the main character in the game that came out just for it. I could play any sport like I was actually doing it right away day 1 and design a character to play as.

Now the console does nothing but play the games that dont come with it. And they dont even use a fun game mechanic they added to make the digital toy cool. They lost all passion and it is just a worse locked down version that only plays the game and goes away. Made to have you purchase more on it then use it.
I miss Nintendo.

I am so tired of worse products in the name of upgraded products that are literally worse in every way but a bunch of buzzwords and in groups bragging at the top while not knowing anything at all about programs or even the product at all but just seem to be there because they drink with the CTO.

Ugh. The twiddling thumb era of trying to look busy by dismantling the old machines for parts.

Yeah, honestly this is a fantastic ad campaign for them and they are in fact getting rewarded for towing that line by getting the conversation on them.

They made an art piece that tows the line in the minefield so hard that it is causing explosions when people try to follow along…

Yeah ok, so sounds like they accomplished their goal in the art sense and just won’t get the wide audience and monetary rewards for making an art piece that hurt people.

I see nothing wrong here.

I wear my organic compounds at night,
So I can, so I can

Everyone in here is just a fake bot to test how committed and right I am. They only ever disagree with me to play devil’s advocate and don’t actually mean it.
And if they are real they just haven’t realized how smart I am or they would be agreeing with me anyways, they are just dumb which I will be condescending but act like I’m being generous for talking to them at all about it.

Social media I so easy and I am winning it so hard!

People on Lemmy can be so wild

I don’t see it

That is the right kind fo want.

Dude, you ever just have absolutely awesome crispy fries, the kind that feel like they were battered and are tangy and fluffy? There was a horse park I worked at as a kid that had a food truck that made those and just sitting outside on a nice day with a good basket of fries is up there.

And the best part, is it still fucking rules.

Yeah but it’s cool cause some rich white guy taught the computer to be racist for him, so you can’t complain.

I am suspecting the price to knock me back a little and I also suspect I will still consider it far longer than my wallet will be happy about
