I’ve been using XFCE for so long that it feels really awkward when I have to use Gnome or KDE.

XFCE is solid, reliable, stable, unobtrusive, lean, responsive.

It is also the reason I’ve not used Wayland yet.

I prefer to buy GOG when possible, Steam second. I even have some duplicated titles across vendors.

Excellent that they don’t engage in Nintendo level community hostility and at least let people who care about old games preserve them.

Stream goes one step further and actively maintains their legacy games playable. That is commitment.

You’d expect Microsoft to have figured out how to copy Linux update methods, we have a lot of them to choose from and some are actually decent.

I’ve been playing Eldritch. Friggin frustrating game. Ok, just one more go.

The way they casually throw in a bazooka wielding character with zero introduction is just hilarious.

The only good musicals (where people start singing for no reason) that I actually love are Blues Brothers and Monty Python’s Holly Grail.

I’d watch it if it was a heavy dark drama. A musical? I think not.

Remember when HP made great printers? I still have an old HP Laserjet 1100 in use. When that one dies, I don’t think I’ll be buying any other printer.

A man does not decorate his cave.

Two can play that game. I bet it is possible to create an AI tool that generates and posts Mario pictures faster than they can take them down. Why you’d want to do that I don’t know.

Army Moves, Navy Moves, or any other old Dynamic Software game. You’d have to be very skilled to get out of the first stage.

I’m fairly certain that there’s a What If video on this by the XKCD guy, Randall Munroe.

I genuinely laughed out loud. Thanks for that.

Rat Race, The Big Lebowski, The Blues Brothers, Mars Attacks, Constantine, any Riddick, any Resident Evil, any Alien, any Matrix, any Predator, Equilibrium, Gattaca, District 9, and a lot of others I can’t remember at the moment because I’m quite drunk.

I have too many Half-life games and mods installed and refuse to remove them to make room for other, larger, games.

Now I will have to try the bucket%.

I can hear this picture.

It started with me manually downloading a mod and shoving the files into the Steam game directly.

Then I installed the windows version of Nexus Mods Manager using Wine and pointed it to the Skyrim in Linux Steam that runs as a Flatpak.

Yes, it is a dumb hack. But it works.

It’s not the cost. I’ve not pirated anything since Steam and GOG came along. It’s just that games nowadays want you to be online all the time, force you to open accounts you don’t want, try to sell you in game items (that’s a brilliant idea to get money from certain types of people, a bit like religion, do congratulations to whoever came up with that).

I want games to be single player playable, offline, start to finish. I’ll buy expansion packs if the game is worth it. It’s it too much to ask?

Constantine - 46%

Predator - 34%

Ghost in the Shell - 43%

Hellboy - 17%

Robocop (2016) - 49%

Well, it seems like I have poor taste in movies after all.

Sorry for the rough tone, it’s been a long week.

The question is not that it has always been that way. The question is that different systems do things differently and one must take time to learn it.

If I would use an Apple system I’d have to learn how things are done on it. Of course you can always compare different approaches, but take time to understand why the differences exist.

When I use Windows I often miss the middle click copy, but I’m not saying window copy paste is broken for the lack of it.

Again, sorry for being harsh. A vacation is very much overdue for me.
