Outer Worlds. Not really a spoiler but it felt linear as hell up until the very end

What went wrong with Far Cry 6? I’ve heard it’s pretty mid and I haven’t heard much about it since which leads me to assume it’s not even memorably bad or good

I was holding out hope until recently that things would be improved with updates kind of like No Man’s Sky or through DLC like what Phantom Liberty did for Cyberpunk 2077.

I haven’t read a lot of reviews because I like going into games blind but from what I’ve heard a lot of the issues really seem baked into the core of the game.

If you count widespread 90s jokes as memes the lady who got burnt by McDonalds coffee was seriously injured and and a dingo really did eat that woman’s baby.

Both are jokes in Seinfeld, S7 E2 and S10 E10 respectively. I feel like there’s a couple other examples of event-specific jokes not aging well in hindsight but I can’t remember them.

Mount Your Friends is an Xbox 360 era go-to for me. Very easy to get into and gets people competitive (in a good way). The only downside is it’s probably not the most appropriate game to play with kids for your situation

Is anyone surprised by this? I feel like similar things have happened in the past with back breeding

It feels a bit like Ali Express pricing with games being listed as $100 but being discounted year round for 50% off to give consumers the illusion of getting a deal.

It also seems like a lot of titles don’t go down in price as they age as often as they used to.

I wonder if they will ever release a definitive edition of The Sims 3 or 4. Even with a 90% discount the number of DLCs keep complete versions of the game rather expensive.

Tangentially related but I was browsing the list of Steam curators and I was surprised by how many of them are dedicated to discouraging people from buying games from specific countries.

That’s how I ended up with so many games in my backlog

Are you looking for a percentage amount or a dollar amount? Which would seem more appealing?

Does it in anyway phrase the question to reference real hardware or original versions?

I feel like a lot of people emulate (including using Nintendo Switch Online) or play modernized remixes of titles like Super Mario 99

Is there a chance that Arch says that so they don’t have to take on the responsibility of endorsing yay while also acknowledging its prevalence?

Like if Nintendo made a statement saying they recommend against third party mods or repairs that deal with joycon stick drift because they don’t want to be held accountable or contacted about issues consumers run into a result of them.

I hope we see some kind of change in line with what you suggested. With each instance and community having different rules most of the time reports are going to be situational.

If I am correct with the current report configuration if I ran a community with a no memes rule and someone reported someone’s post for being a meme that would get sent to myself but also the admins of both instances for no real reason. It’s only in times of egregious rule violations like the CSAM attacks that hit Lemmy a while ago or threats against a user that I could see reports going everywhere as being useful. Kind of like a panic button.

I’d also like to see the option to report communities. I don’t think that exists right now and most people are doing it in whatever the meta community is on their instance. I get people might want a discussion before a community is removed or banned but I feel like more often than not it’s just hate speech whack-a-mole where it isn’t really needed.

I saw nutomic repsonded to your comment by the way. Glad to see it’s being worked on.

Paying close attention to news feeds is something I wish I did when I ran Manjaro.

Any reason you would recommend Slackware specifically?

I’ve watched a few Youtube videos on the history of it and the advantages of it but I don’t recall much. It seemed like a lot of people who had used Slackware a long time ago simply continuing to use Slackware and people using at as a learning tool because of how user involved it is.

Would you recommend people start with Slackware itself or a Slackware-based distro?

It does. It gives you this message

-> Avoid running yay as root/sudo.

I only ran Debian and Ubuntu based distros up until that point so I thought you always needed to install packages using sudo.

I am pretty sure I ignored the warning initially because the first couple packages I tried to install with sudo and yay worked.

This was a while ago.

It doesn’t hurt to have the LTS kernel installed as a backup option (assuming you use the standard kernel as your chosen default) in case you update to a newer kernel version and a driver here or there breaks.

I had a similar issue that was resolved by swapping to the LTS kernel. Learning about using a bootable Arch USB and chrooting into your install to make repairs would be a good thing for OP to know

Why paru specifically?

I didn’t read the documentation so I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to use sudo with yay.

-Ss can be added to pacman to search for packages. Pretty useful if you don’t want to DuckDuckGo them every time.

As for applications one neat one I don’t see recommended very often is xkill. You can use it to kill applications kind of like you would with the task manager in Windows. htop is probably a closer comparison to the task manager in general though.

There are a lot of Arch-based distros that are incredibly easy to install if you want a very easy setup process that doesn’t involve a lot of terminal work.
