Maybe I'm somehow lucky but in the year plus that I've had mint on my gaming machine with an RTX 3050 I've had no issues. Maybe cause I rarely play demanding games? But modded Cyberpunk has been fine as well

It can stand alone I think, but it also is pretty deep in his expanded universe. I've only just gotten into act 2 and there's stuff that ties into other stories, some of which I haven't read, and I'm still enjoying it. Definitely no worries about missing the short story though as he sprinkles it in as flash backs in act 1 of the story.

What's your favorite piece of media and why?

I don't see any sane governments trying to make deals with him going forward. He's shown that he will just ignore/change any "deals" he makes in all aspects of his life as he sees fit.

I do suspect he'll go TACO in the end but the fucking chaos in the meantime...

I like that term. AI comics definitely have some kinda weird feel, something about the color choices/solidness and the line work I think. Gonna be using slop sepia in the future

At this point it's kind of entertaining to see him keep raising the stupidity bar. Absolutely fucking terrifying too, but still also kinda entertaining.

As a kid, my family went to the same small island in my home country for holidays every year and even as a kid in the 90s I noticed how year after year, the coral got worse and worse. Made me sad thinking what condition it would be in as I grew up, though I haven't been there in a LONG time.

Knowing this is the story of coral reefs the world over has always been super depressing...

Maybe they're not standing on anything, just floating in space?

 

If I'm not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I'm sharing, I'll just eat them.

Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.

So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?

 

Any recommendations for something like "Amusing Ourselves to Death" but written after the internet became mainstream?

Something recently had me thinking about the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" that made me want to give it a re-read, and as relevant as the main ideas still are for today, I wondered if there is a more recent book that is just as well received on the topic of society's addiction to amusement.

 

I can't stop laughing but I also have no friends who read Stormlight to share this with 😭

 

Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo.

In the past I've felt like Outer Wilds scratched this itch, cause the whole experience was engaging but generally relaxed. There was a mystery that kept me hooked and the exploration and movement was fun in and of itself. I also felt like Subnautica filled this role since it was very much at my own pace, with anxiety producing portions which could for the most part be avoided or minimized, and also there was a clear objective to fulfill, get off the planet.

So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?

 

Complete Linux noob so apologies if anything I say or ask about sounds dumb.

I want to start making the switch to Linux and I've got most things figured out I think. I plan on putting either Mint or Fedora on my old Surface Go gen 1 because it's not critical for my work and potentially losing some functionality there won't cause huge issues, but my main use of it right now is taking notes on Onenote that I can then view and edit from my other devices as well.

Looking into Onenote and alternatives on Linux, I keep running into comments about the lack of handwriting support or no straightforward answers about stylus support. Anything Lemmy recommends I try? Also, any advice on running Linux on the Surface Go in general is welcome. Found some resources already but doesn't seem like people do this often.
