Be cool if they could do something about the amount of gambling ads attached to sports. But no, it must be video games that are bad.

Tbh I'm glad they're recognizing loot boxes as a problem, but this feels backwards. Like, a single, completely optional slot machine in an RPG that only takes and pays out in in-game currency gets you an R rating, but a predatory real-money gatcha mechanic is only worth an M.

You can get out of your ship in Elite now.

I just recently decided to get into the lore myself, from my research the three consistent recommendations on all the lists are (in no particular order):

Eisenhorn

Horus Heresy

Gaunt's Ghosts

As an old school doom mapper from the 90s, it absolutely isn't. You build a room, apply F_SKY1 to the ceiling, and that's it. The engine renders it more like a wall, but it's not a traditional skybox in that it doesn't exist in the level geometry outside of the room it's applied to.

Not really. They have a lot of bits and in-jokes which are going to seem incomprehensible to anyone from the outside, but most of them are pretty chill if you engage in good faith. It's like a lot of tech communities; if you don't do your research and ask intelligent questions, you're likely to get told to RTFM.

Sorry to necro the thread but I ended up getting one of these and it's great so thanks for the recommendation. Recently switched to Linux and found Rivalcfg supports aerox 5. Terminal only, but worth checking out if you're still searching.

Strictly speaking this is a subset of what the food industry calls reformulation. They'll also reformulate a product for other reasons (eg to reduce sugar/fat/salt or add a vitamin so they can make a health claim, tweak the flavour if it isn't performing well, etc) but reducing materials and manufacturing costs is a big part of it. Maybe we can coin the term "deformulation".

If this is where I think it is, I know a lot of it is to do with the freeway, but there are also some pretty significant upgrades to the cycling infrastructure going on. Fuck cars, of course, but its not all bad.

Installed this on my Legion Go today. Took about an hour, all hardware supported out-of-the-box. Hardest part was mapping the controller. Haven't actually played much on it, but I'm very impressed with the experience so far.

Soulseek. I'll search a band I like, then browse the directories of other people with similar taste.

Your description made me think of The Golden Palominos.

Speed Freeks is extremely underrated. Multiplayer only. It plays like Unreal Tournament x Twisted Metal.

 

I'm pretty deadset on switching my Legion Go over to Bazzite (for the controller support). One of the games I play a lot of is Elite Dangerous. While I'm quite sure I can get that up and running, there's a few third-party tools I use like EDMC and Voice Attack. EDMC and the like I'm fairly sure just need to get pointed to the logfiles, but I'm not sure how well VA will operate in a Linux environment. Anyone out there dealt with anything like this? It's not a deal breaker if it just doesn't work, but I'd like to know ahead of time.

 

Normally I'd go to r/mousereview for this kind of thing, but fuck that website.

Can anybody recommend me a mouse that isn't going to fuck out inside of a couple years? Was previously using an Ironclaw until the USB port went, replaced it with a Basilisk and the scroll on that one's started to jitter up and down now. I have fairly large hands and tend to use knuckle claw grip. Wireless is a must, builtin battery preferred, but requiring a single AA isn't a dealbreaker. I don't mind heavy, prefer a little weight tbh.
