well....we were GOING to have a Rogue Squadron movie but that didn't pan out so now it's this.

I'd just be happy with a Corran Horn movie but I know we're not getting that.

I'll be honest with you for me personally I just don't have the patience for the game. I just want to build my ship with whatever parts are in the game and explore. that's it. I don't want to mine resources, I don't want to wait in some random station for some random ship to show up that MIGHT have the part I want. I don't want to do any of that.

I barely made it out of the tutorial and forced my way through it.

Nothing wrong with NMS but I didn't want to play it the way it made me play it. I just want to build in peace and explore.

this was 30+ years ago, I've never been to one since then so I'm very sure it's changed.

no prob. I think for certain situations immutable is good. Like in your cause where you use it at work, it makes sense to have a workplace on an immutable distro, just makes things easier. In my case since I'm a developer it also makes sense as the likely hood of me absolutely breaking something is high. plus with nix and the nix flakes and nix shell environments it makes developing a breeze.

For someone at home who is NEW to Linux, yeah it also makes sense. For everyone else? meh I don't really see a need for it if you know what you're doing. Don't get me wrong I love Arch and all its various forks, especially CachyOS, so I mean if it works for you then why go immutable? there's no right and wrong distro for a user, it's whatever they prefer. Hell a buddy of mine uses Slackware and will never move from it.

I get it. I recently switched to NixOS from Arch and I absolutely love it. I would routinely go buck wild with Arch and eventually my system would just be populated with garbage or half assed things that I never bothered to fix. With Nix I don't have that choice. If I fuck around with the config well then it's not rebuilding and I need to actually fix it. It prevents me from breaking my system. If I do somehow many to break something then I can instantly roll back from the grub OR just retrieve a backup copy of my config which I keep on my server backup and my private git instance. Just have to git clone it.

So I was once one of those anti-immutable people but now I get it and i love it.

oh they're well aware but like the majority of first world nations, heaven forbid you upset Israel. Just look at the UK. you get arrested for even mentioning or wearing a t shirt with the P and/or G word.

well duh.

When it becomes impossible to afford to A. have a family B. hell even be in a relationship C. afford a home D. rent for the rest of your life and then struggle to pay rent or meet the annual rent increases and E. wages continue to stagnate there's really not much of a point in living.

Add all this to the US healthcare system where if you get sick you essentially have to "hope for the best" or if it's something incredibly serious you then become dependent on the kindness of strangers via a GoFundMe then yeah...it's grim.

it's been a spell since I've been to the US but the only thing I remember about Cracker Barrel is the triangle/golf tee game they had at the tables. The food? I don't remember anything about the food or what I even ate. but that game? I was all over it.

I actually preferred Bob Evans breakfasts. I remember as a kid whenever my family visited the states I would insist we go to Bob Evans for breakfast.

Examples: Virtua Racing on the Genesis or Star Fox on the SNES. they were slow and quite laggy. sure they were essentially pushing the limits of what the console could do and in the case of Star Fox had to have the FX chip in the cartridge but I wouldn't call racing around on the Genesis in Virtua Racing a "smooth" experience.

Other games are like this too with loading. Mortal Kombat CD on the Sega CD. you get to the Shang Tsung fight and the game has to load every time he morphs. Other games would also slow to a crawl if there was a lot on the screen. To your point Ranger X on the Genesis had these little tadpole enemy things that could quickly populate the screen if you didn't take them out quickly it would slow the game down. Same would happen on the PSX with the game Loaded.

I mean it was fine. I don't think they needed to include the actual "valkyries" or whatever at the end cause that kinda threw it off. yeah I get it, he's on the drug, I don't need to see actual valkyries to understand this. it's like taking shrooms and then all you see is mushrooms everywhere.

ah this was EXACTLY what I was looking for! thanks!

nope just tried it, desktop app doesn't work on my distro, can't delete the account now as the deletion method via the website doesn't work.
