I seriously don't even understand why people are excited about this game.

I played the first Outer Worlds on GamePass. I love SciFi and really enjoyed the setting. But it got so bland and predictable quite quickly that I dropped it. I picked up Witcher 3 soon after and loved that game even though I'm not a big Fantasy person. I finished the main story plus a bunch of side quests and still recommend it to people today. How people play these two games and still find Outer Worlds fun is beyond me.

I put on podcasts so my own thoughts shut up for a minute

Amazing read, thank you for this trivia comment

Has cancel culture gone too far? Now they're making an entire fair about canceling games! /s

Came here looking for this. Was not disappointed

Thanks for the informative comment. The linked photo looks like a much smaller truck than by OP. It would still be ridiculous on asphalt.

Absolutely this. Essential food should not be expensive. Meat, especially red meat, should be quite expensive and something you only eat rarely

Okay, I don't want to get into the entire thing why exploiting oil sands is clearly not a necessity and maybe a pretty terrible idea. I agree Europe imports way too many fossil fuels. But switching to alternatives with less reliance on others is clearly a more sustainable strategy.

Comments like this are so ridiculous. Do you really think nothing ever gets build in Europe because people use vans and buses instead of emotional support vehicles? Canada is just another country, not fucking Mars

This. Maybe only take the license for a few months and make him do a new test. The fact he argues shows his disregard for the rules he agreed to follow by operating the a ~~dangerous weapon~~ vehicle

 

I'm happy with my Garmin watch for now and simply know I am addicted to tracking stuff, especially all bike rides (including work commute).

But what if I wanted a European product? Or recommend something to friends? I like the watch form factor but ma open to mounting something on the bike again. The thing is these devices tend to come with some digital services, meaning some sort of American entity getting my data is almost a must it seems. I'm open to self-hosting a backend but I doubt my friends are 😅

 

Is there a service or knowledge base somewhere that can help you find the highest rated games for your hardware?

Background: I don’t have much time for games and just installed Bazzite on a few years old ThinkPad. I would like to play some games on it but don’t know what I can expect to be playable. I see tons of “will it run on steam deck” info but honestly couldn’t even figure out where this computers performance lies compared to a steam deck. This should be easy. Just type in specs, maybe filter genre and say “sort by meta score” or “sort by steam rating”.

 

What are your thoughts on finding a good level of subscriptions for online services, such as storage, photo backup, music streaming, video streaming?

Personal situation: I don't want a ton of subscriptions. I take lots of photos. I listen to music quite a bit. I live in a household that has Android, iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, Linux, ... and a Synology NAS that is already filling up with old music and video stuff from before streaming, phone photo backups as well as the photos from the big camera (manually copied so far). I currently pay for two cloud storage thingies and have to free ones, 3/4 are full :P We also have Spotify Family and cut down to only (HBO) Max and public service for video plus sometimes getting something specific for a month or two.

Any experiences or other observations welcome as well!

 

I don’t spend much time on my desktop computer but if I do I tend to game a bit. OW II, CS, Helldivers, Tabletop Simulator mostly. And of course need Discord.

I am considering a minor upgrade to the hardware and would need a fresh install (currently Win 10). I’ve been out of the distro game for a while and currently only have one old thinkpad running Debian and an X1 Carbon gen7 I want to use for experimentating/ distro hopping.

I want a daily driver OS that can play games. I also edit photos and might to the odd “flash a CFW to an old phone” or similar light tasks. Where do I start?

I hear PopOS because “it just works” but also CachyOS because “performance, muh”.

I have experience with Ubuntu (first was 6.06) and Fedora mostly but have played around with a lot that came with at least a barebones UI (crunchbang anyone?). My life has changed so I have less time to nerd out with this than I used to. But I feel the itch to experiment now and maybe use Linux on my main desktop again after some years with that mentioned upgrade soon.
