Thanks. I only had so far Linux experience with my Steam Deck, I will look into these distros.

Sweet, thanks. I want to start something straightforward and so far Mint looks very promising.

Im in similar scenario. Which distro you decided on?

Agree 100%. Also if I remember correctly there was a case of over promising and not delivering. So part of the negativity from the community had a very valid reason.

…and we all know the wraith of the internet.

I bought the game in early access and saw how it become from one of the most promising arpgs to a bandwagon of hate and negativity. While it has many problems, I don’t think it deserve all the hate it received.

The game itself is pretty cool imho, however it had a catastrophic launch with lots of server issues for online characters, multiplayer problems and some bugs, causing a negative review tsunami. To make things worst the devs were kind of slow to resolve the issues and released the patches only when they reputation already took a hit.

I can not comment on the multiplayer/hardcore min/max builds and late game stage of the game. As far as I can tell there were some complaints on those fronts as well. I mostly play arpgs alone.

With this in mind, if you like the genre and not planning to play with friends I think its still a pretty entertaining title, nice graphics and decent build variety.

I heard many bishops were offended and took it as a personal attack.

Thanks for the info!

I quit reddit when the API-calipse happened, while had a 1 year old. These helped me to use my newly found free time in short bursts, while still having a sense of accomplishment and progress:

• Handheld game console with suspend function to be able to put any game on pause with a press of a button (switch, steam deck)

• Duolingo

• Mastodon/Pixelfed

• Audiobooks

I am trying to vote with my wallet and not buy any Ubisoft games at all if possible. The last AC I enjoyed was Black Flag, but still didn’t finish it.

So my whole rant is not that I cannot live without the DLCs, but the shitty business practise of selling them like this.

Its more about DLCs, then microtransactions but the two are very similar.

Okay lets say its a Steam Sale and they have publisher highlights. Lets saaay…Ubisoft or EA or one of these big corporate publishers.

Huuuge banners::Sale up-to 85% off

So since I am a patient gamer I start browsing and look at some 8-10 years old AAA titles I didn’t bother to pay full price for at relese. Like some older AC, Ghost Recon, or something for under 10 EUR/USD. Cool, then you click on it and what I see?

THATS ONLY THE FUCKING BASE GAME!?!?!! They still sell 3 premium editions with the DLCs and the one with all the content is something like 25-30 EUR/USD. With 85% off. So the full price is still something like 100+ EUR/USD. Fuck this artificially inflated price, I’m not paying that much for a decade old fucking game.

While other publishers roll all content into a complete edition or even release free remasters with all content included for considerably lower price for their older titles these greedy fuck publishers still trying to sell us exclusive content from a decade ago. Fucking boils my blood.

I bet against it

I still own a HP laser printer (older model from 5-10 years ago) which does not have the online connectivity requirement and the third party cartridges could last for ages.

As long as the printer dies I will forget HP and its bullshit exists and never touch their products again.

You sure we are talking about the same game? Lvl 4 can be achieved during the first map within 10 min in Last Epoch

By default there are some texture issues, switching to Proton GE resolved everything.

A house, which runs on green energy with a big garden growing my own veggies and fruits. Mainly to save a shit tons of money in the long term, and because I love being close to nature, while still maintaining my modern life (internet, gadgets, modern living)

Last Epoch I love it! Plus runs great on Steam Deck

There is no strict definition of what a console is. Just because the linux OS is not restricted and the hardware can be used as a pc with extra steps are we excluding the SD from the console topic?

Consoles are more and more like PCs, with many multimedia, productivity and utilility apps and even web browsing, so the Steam Deck IMO perfectly fits the discussion.

Out of the box it has a strict console-like UI and limited functionality for everything else other than gaming. You need to take special steps to use it as a PC (reboot in desktop mode, attach peripherals, etc)

And this is why you don’t buy stainless steel sinks and cars, unless you want to polish them regularly they will look like shit even just from water stains.

Edit: Stop telling me your sink doesn’t have rust on it. I’m not talking about rust. Most stainless steel will not rust. I’m talking about how stainless steel can become ugly from residual water marks, staines, water with high mineral content, etc Unless you take care of it, clean it and polish it regularly. Maybe ideal for a kitchen surface but not for a big ass ugly car.
