  • Can we talk about Anathem?

    Jump

  • I've read it twice and enjoyed it both times. It has some slow parts for sure, especially at the start, but it does setup the framework for how the characters view the outside world which I find really fascinating.

    *Edit:I think it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking of them as monks who only follow faith and prohibit secular technology but the whole point is that they are enclaves of philosophers and mathematicians. It's like refusing to use a calculator in order to train your mind to better work with numbers. If you did that you wouldn't be confused by finally using a calculator, its use would be simple and obvious.

  • What distro do you game on?

    Jump

  • yeah, back when I used nvidia I had to run their driver installer or nothing would work right, and of course any little system update would bork everything until I ran the installer again. Thankfully everything with AMD just works now.

  • What distro do you game on?

    Jump

  • Debian. It wont win any awards for fastest release cycles but it's rock stable with great support for my Ryzen 2700 and 6700xt.

  • Gaming on Linux hasn't been great so far...

    Jump

  • But what are the odds of having these issues? It's a bit disingenuous to tell a large audience that this is what they can expect if the reality is the problems may only effect one in a thousand.

  • What is your absolute favourite track from a video game?

    Jump

  • A classic! I do also love Simon Swerwer's work on the official steam DF OST

  • how is linux for gamers?

    Jump

  • To clarify there are several very popular online games with anti-cheat that will never work BUT there are also a ton of other multiplayer games that do work great. You aren't going to be stuck in single-player only moving to Linux, you'll just miss out on a handful of popular competitive games.

  • Do you consider Pepe the frog to be hate speech?

    Jump

  • The only problem with this line of thinking is that it empowers bigots to continue to subvert any character or symbol they choose.I'd rather see those symbols used more often in ways that fight bigotry than to give in to that manipulation.

  • Love this

    Jump

  • Given that they haven't exactly been bred for the highest intelligence I'd say a car going by on a rural road is still notable for them.

  • What movie did you see too young that still haunts you to this day?

    Jump

  • I was too young when I first saw this too. (I was in my 20s)

  • It's weird how we say "go to sleep" as if sleep is a place

    Jump

  • If you have trouble going to sleep then try falling asleep instead.

  • Someone should make an anticapitalist Dexter. A serial killer who kills evil rich people.

    Jump

  • Even if you did find some way to fund and produce it, what corporate media empire is going to allow it on their network where more than a handful of people would ever see it?

  • Cold water was probably less refreshing for early humans due to most cold water likely only being available during colder weather.

    Jump

  • You might only have ice-cold water during the spring if you're near a river that just flowed down from the mountains but even most well water is going to be much cooler than surface temperatures.

  • Why are you so happy?

    Jump

  • Ignorance is bliss?

  • So much FUN!

    Jump

  • A tragic end that makes for another amazing story and history for your world.In the next fortress if you meet another werecritter you better pause and take careful note of the combat log and any dwarf it attacked assign to a new squad and move them to a room and seal up the entrance until the next full moon.

  • What is your most useful Linux app which others might not know about (please don't just give the name but a link and why it is good for you) ?

    Jump

  • Ocenaudio for audio editing. It's not FOSS but it's native, simple to use, and doesn't have backend library issues I kept having with audacity.

  • Upcoming MMO 'BitCraft Online' will be open source

    Jump

  • Ah you're right, you can rebind camera movement but still have to click to move. At least it's not a game where fast action is needed, but hopefully they do add movement binds in the full game.

  • Upcoming MMO 'BitCraft Online' will be open source

    Jump

  • it's click to move to target. you can set WASD in control settings though I think

  • maybe maybe maybe

    Jump

  • It's worth trying Dota2, you just have to be okay with losing a lot of your matches at the start until you learn the ropes.

    I like to recommend Lina as a good hero to learn with, she has two strong AOE spells but can also build high regular attack damage. More importantly though her stun has a short delay which can really help you learn timing and predicting enemy movements. She's also a fairly squishy intelligence hero which can teach you safer lane positioning in the early game. She can be a strong mid but also a decent support or lane pusher depending on what your team needs.

    While learning all the heroes is great in the long run I think it's best to stick with one hero until you get a feel for the game. After that any time you fight a hero that is dominating and feels completely broken just make it a point to try and play that hero next to learn its weakness.

  • Since we have a joke for a president I want to know, what cartoon character would you actually vote for to be President of the US?

    Jump

  • Scrooge McDuck (Duck Tales version). Dude knows how to manage people and balance a budget. Sure he might occasionally get obsessed with some treasure in the middle east but that's no different than most presidents.
