you still have to buy the game before you pay the subscription.

to be fair it was a console seller and A LOT of people bought the Wii just to play that at family gatherings and like inviting people over for dinner. My parents bought a Wii just for it and never bought another game for the Wii.

I was working at an EB Games when the Wii came out and a good chunk of people would just buy the console with no games attached to it. They just wanted Wii Sports. AND THEN when they brought out the new version of Wii Sports…man that thing sold like hot cakes.

honestly khronkite has improved a lot but their native quick tile isn’t bad if you’re ok with manual tiling.

FINALLY. once this is released I’m going back to KDE. independent desktops is what I’ve been asking for with KDE for so long.

cool, cool…Hey Reese which LLM’s have you invested in that you’re now advocating more women utilize them? OpenAI? Anthropic?

She’s not stupid. She’s trying to get a return on investment.

If you’re on debian I HIGHLY suggest utilizing the PikaOS repos. I have it on another machine and I have yet to not been able to find anything. great search tool here: https://packages.pika-os.com/

It’s by far the best debian distro I’ve ever used and while sure it’s made for gaming, it’s fast and I have yet to have any issues with it. Plus their pikman package manager has distrobox built into it so in the rare case I can’t find something via debian I can just find it in an arch package or on the AUR or even on Fedora.

Joe from Street Fighter 1 is on the poster and you’re more curious about Dan?

No offence to those that run various instances but the LAST thing I would want is for any of them to deal with this stuff on their own servers. that’s just a massive can of worms I would assume even they wouldn’t want to open.

in many places they’ve always done this. I grew up in Cambridge Ontario and when I was a kid we had a neighbourhood mailbox thing that we’d have to go to every day to get mail.

but whose the “central authority” that you have to provide your ID to? and what happens when that central authority inevitably gets hacked?

nixos generations have saved my ass way more than I’m willing to admit.

ah so don’t buy a netgear router because the US Government will be listening in/watching. got it.

dumbass is just going to treat it like a twitch ban and is looking forward to 6 months from now on his first stream back where he’s going to get a shit ton of viewers and thus a lot of money.

as someone who loves me some Battletech/Mechwarrior please share.

cool, cool…hey how many of them will continue to take work from Paramount-Warner Bros when the merger does go through?

My parents live in the US, I’m in Canada. they’re dual Canadian-US Citizens but were both born in England and still have British accents, I’m a dual British-Canadian citizen. They moved a lot due to my dad’s work and eventually decided, for whatever reason, to settle in the US. They’re elderly and I’m afraid to travel there and I don’t want them travelling here to potentially/likely be hassled on their return. This sucks. I’m terrified that I’ll never see them in person again. I’m terrified that they’ll be grocery shopping one day and because of their accents they’ll get reported or come across some nazi ice agent and get detained.

So even though I’m Canadian I feel invested in all this crap in the US purely because of my parents. I wish, daily, deep down wish daily that the US People FINALLY do something to take their country back. I wish I could ask some random American to please look out for my parents and keep them safe. It haunts me. It’s almost like I’m waiting for some call from someone saying my parents are in some holding facility. But from all the stories I’ve read I’d likely never get that call so now I’m just calling my mom daily only to make sure she can still pick up the phone.

guess if it’s your cup of tea then cool. I remember watching the first episode a couple years ago and just found it boring and unfunny. reminded me of the whole ‘homestuck’ fad from the mid 2010s that seemed like only “american weebs” got.

I mean if I’m going to watch a cartoon about clowns I’ll go with Bigtop Burger any day over this show.

Sorry we don’t review AI Slop.

then closes the ticket. classic. I’m a fan of Flathub more so than ever.

Oh surprise surprise the guy is from Mississauga and has his fingers in everything that is totally unrelated to each other in order to some how, some way, make a buck. Doesn’t surprise me. seems like every “tech person” from Mississauga is also a consultant for some medical crap and yup…that’s what it says on his site.

I also pirated it and spent most if not all my time building ships. naturally had to use console codes to bypass the restrictions but that’s all I did.

the game itself? boring. the characters? bunch of god damn nerds. Like seriously your party are some of the most whiny unlikable characters in gaming. I didn’t care for any of them. AND THEN if you decide “oh I want to be a pirate and do bad things” they just whine even more about it.

I normally use NixOS but recently tried out PikaOS on one of my machines and I love it. Sure it’s got a gaming focus but it’s fast. damn fast. makes my dev work a breeze. It feels like one of the most complete Linux distros I’ve ever used. takes all of 15min to install and you can be up and running with everything you need within 30min. And their Pikman package manager is one of the best I’ve ever used. has distrobox built into it so if I want to install something from Arch, or the AUR, or Fedora, or whatever I just do “pikman --aur install whatever” spins up a distrobox, automatically exports it, good to go. Also has one of the fastest startups I’ve ever experienced that it felt like I wasn’t on systemd. Like Void runit start up speed.

If there are people who want something like Bazzite or Nobara but want a lot more flexibility for packages than PikaOS is it.
