I don’t know where my Linux journey takes me next yet, but I only half way agree with this post. Arch is not quite as bad as this post makes it out to be, but there’s definitely always a bit of russian roulette involved in whether your system boots tomorrow or not (most of the time it does).
I just had my EndeavourOS (which is just a thin layer on top of Arch) kill itself and some weird-ass hyperspecific flags in the initrd build process brought it back to life.
Tho in the ~10 years of using arch now I’d say it was still preferable to the extremely stable experience, and I don’t think recommending Debian Stable is such a good idea either.
Yeah I could unfuck my EOS system with a bit of trickery, but once you get a good franken debian going, when that thing breaks there’s no rescue.
I’ve had some stuff on Arch break after an upgrade too because some config variable names changed. I rember when I had KDE with i3 going and one day the desktop was gone. Was just because the variable names in KDE had changed and a quick i3 config change was all that was needed.
Having to selectively install packages from other sources because the main repo will keep you on a too outdated version for 6 months is just not a viable idea in today’s world.

There are luckily more than just these 2 options.

Ye the skill tree is quite awesome actually. Maybe I should engage with it a bit more b4 quitting. Rn im in the process of converting to a spear build so I’ll see how t hat goes

Edit: Just did a quick n dirty spear build while checking which skills fit my playstyle and then tried Xaldin again (for his claws). Damn this build shreds ass. Totally unoptimized build and I’m inclined to agree this is pretty OP. And way more fun than Dual Wield and Greatsword.

I have to give spears a shot. Luckily the game’s pretty forgiving on respeccing. Especially the skills being entirely non-committal is a really great decision.

I forget the exact name but I have the full butcher set with the dual wield weapon. Yeah I struggle because I deal very negligible damage to bosses so each fight takes like 5-10 minutes. And some of the bosses have really wack attacks/combos. But then sometimes I’m stuck on a boss for like 10 tries, beat it, then, without changing any of my gear, the boss in the next mission goes down first try. It’s all over the place.
I don’t think I’m gonna finish the game tho. What’s kept me going are the achievements when I beat a really tough boss like Elamein and the Steam achievement thingy says 51.9% of people beat this boss like wtf. But after changing from the greatsword to the dual wield for most of the playthru now there just isn’t any of the build crafting I like in these games and the gameplay itself is a bit too samey for me.

I’m playing Khazan and it’s pretty good. I’m having trouble with guarding as in every soulslike game but I can get thru bosses after several tries.
Difficulty is a mixed bag tho. I seem to bounce between being the steamroller and steamrollee basically every 2 levels.
Speaking of levels I kinda like the mission based system. They reuse maps for multiple missions but make them look different so I always have that „ooohhh I’m here“ feeling.

I was just making a joke don’t take thing so seriously

I would like to mod c/badposting so I can finally take care of rule 3

Just my two cents. Because I’m so broke my wallet doesn’t hold more than that

Dandadan gave us peak memes tho. The McDonalds intro version specifically goes way too hard

Did Tommy Talarico write this comment?

honestly idk how much of a diff it makes and I really don’t care. I wholeheartedly disagree that it’s a massive win if the system catches a few cheaters if the system is designed around “guilty until proven innocent”.
It’s absolutely possible to design a game in a way that makes cheating basically impossible or severely nerfs it without an anti-cheat. And even if you didn’t want to do that, the fact that dedicated servers have become a incredibly rare sight also contributes to this issue.
It’s all for the bottom line. Spend as little time in development as possible and extract as much money from players as possible, at all costs.
I just can’t sit here and say kernel level anti-cheat is good if it works.

Yup, as happened during my most recent linux suicide, dracut just waits infinitely for a device to mount (tho it drops into a emerg shell after like 3 mins or so).

Anti cheat will always be bypassed. BF6, requiring secure boot, had cheats during the open beta. And this will always be true due to the nature of how computers work. You would need to have a dedicated computing device that does nothing but play a specific game in order to ensure cheating isn’t possible; think tamagochi but for league of legends.

Idk if this is a hot take but „no limit“ should straight up not exist. Just set a limit and blow the whole PC up when it takes too long.

Young me went krazzy on RATM in Tony Hawk

HOLY SHIT IT WORKED! Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

ok this is surprising, ill try it out in a few

Me conclusion for the avg IQ:
