Man, there better be a ton more content than the original to command that price. The first was a decent game, but it felt pretty boring to me, and it’s wild that they could use a whole solar system as the setting and it feel so small.
A dumping ground is really all my Fallout settlements turned out to be anyways lol. Every once and a while I’ll see an idea I want to recreate but usually I just end up slapping some chests down and walking away
It’s because Take Two came out with a fuck-you-in-the-ass EULA for all their games. I actually look forward to boycotting someone, there’s too much free and discounted shit everywhere
the game’s store page doesn’t mention that it requires root access, like it does for some other games. am i missing something?
edit: the words “root” and “level” (ctrl+f’d each one separately) don’t appear anywhere in the EULA. “access” shows up in a couple spots that definitely are NOT talking about root level access. i’m all about outrage over enshittification, but so far this sounds like bullshit
And thanks for letting me have a space where I can share these long-form posts. They make me happy to write them, and each week its a relief to see them welcomed here :)
Man, fuck those levels. I literally could not progress in the game because I was stuck on one of those. That experience lowered my opinion of the entire game, and I’ve never gone back because of it.
The mileage of 6 miles (10km) isn’t going kill you, I’m talking about the bigger picture of cheap cars fueling urban sprawl with little spatial income density and we haven’t talked about subsidy inequality yet.
I assumed fast walking to be 5 km/h and you said 2 hours.
I’m totally with you, but the US mobility problem is fucked since the 1950s and now there’s no easy solution. The bigger picture is that every investment into car-only infrastructure will hurt the working poor and precariat.
A short-term solution could be raising fossil fuel taxes and subsidising people who cannot afford any other mode of transportation with a part of that money.
“Americans think 100 years is a long time and Europeans think 100 km is a long distance”
I’m fortunate to not be in this situation anymore but the commute for my last job before this one was around 40mi. That’s 64km and a bit. Prior to that it was closer to 60mi or 96.5km, I was driving over an hour just to get to work. This is not uncommon for Americans, especially poor ones. If you can’t afford to live in the city but still need a job so you can eat, situations like this are sometimes unavoidable.
Sure. But we’re in it now, and low fuel prices maintain the ability of the American working poor to survive. Changing this now would condemn millions of innocents to bankruptcy, homelessness and eventually death.
I don’t like it either, believe me. I want walkable cities, and sensible zoning, and affordable housing. But we don’t have that and there isn’t a magic switch we can throw to just make it happen. We’ve painted ourselves into a corner about this.
2 hours should be something in the range of 10-12 km walking, which with reasonable infrastructure should be more than manageable on either transit or by bike.
Reasonable infrastructure being the key words here
Fuck man, it takes me 45 minutes to drive to my workplace maybe 30 miles away, and that’s the closest town with more than a single grocery store and a couple gas stations. Also I live on top of a mountain because that’s the only place I can afford to live and still be within driving distance of work. And of course no public transit at all out here, we have like 3 stop lights total. I literally couldn’t walk to work and back, and also do things like working or sleeping. Just not enough hours in the day. Even on a bike 30 miles uphill at the end of the day, every day, would be brutal. Also no sidewalks, bike lanes, or even shoulders on most of the roads. Cliffs on both sides for most of it. You’d get creamed pretty quick. Infrastructure is so fucked here, partly because I live in a very mountainous area and also horrible NIMBYs everywhere. I’d love to not have to drive my car and buy gas but that’s the only way I can feed myself.
Talk to the subsistence farm in Africa who’s annual rainfall is getting disrupted or Islanders like the people of Tuvalu who have to evacuate because their homes are too close to sea. How much CO2 have they put into the atmosphere?
You are genuinely “children in Africa are starving” the concerns of poor people lmao. Fuck the poor, they’re not poor enough to have their concern matter
Imma try to add something that hasn’t been mentioned in the top comments.
Epic’s refund policy is shit, comparable to nintendo. I buy a game, it doesn’t work, I don’t want to waste my time trying to figure out why, so I ask for refund, Epic said no. I’ve never had this problem at a physical retailer, and I’ve never had this problem with Steam.
Thanks so much for sharing! I’ve recently moved to daily driving Linux and went Bazzite for the gaming element (which I’ve since only somewhat used, lol).
Haven’t dove into the bits and pieces that really make the games work much yet, had no idea Lutris was all this! Particularly the wider library management / enablement, the very thing the dev called out as not well known lol.
AND I was very happy to find out it’s all Python! That’s my bread and butter (and it’s delicious), I may just have to do a wee bit of dev’in someday too. If I ever get around to the games lol
AND I was very happy to find out it’s all Python! That’s my bread and butter (and it’s delicious)
I keep telling the developer of Junk Store that Python is the bee’s knees, but since he is neck-deep in common lisp these days he keeps dismissing my adoration of Python!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this, you’re the exact user this kind of thing I try arrange is for! And welcome to daily driving Linux, I do hope you settle in and stick around for the long haul :)
I’ll make sure Mathieu sees your happy comment here, again, so happy you enjoyed this!!!
I just bought two oldish business class Dell laptops this last week and put Bazzite on em both, for the fam. Easing out our Chromebooks we’ve used for minor things, just can’t abide a machine that won’t let me actually own it anymore, with the way the world’s going.
Not exactly revolutionary lol, but your enthusiasm demanded something in response, so I wanted to let you know that we (and I bet lots of others!) are all in. And I really hope you keep doing stuff like this!!
If I haven’t contributed something to Lutris by this year’s Hacktoberfest, by golly I’m committing (heh) to putting an open issue to rest during best month.
i was helping a friend setup Daggerfall Unity earlier a few hours ago and he sent me the same mod lol. I added Dynamic skies today along with a few city ones and i meant to add that but i need to mess with my other mods first. Somehow I’ve already fucked things up because half of The city of Daggerfall is now missing
Flavio: "The guys from GOG are great, and they contacted me directly once to talk about Heroic, and they totally support the project and what we are doing, especially on Linux. I would say we have a really good relationship with them."
Paweł: "Adding to what Flavio said, we currently have the affiliate deal with GOG, so any purchases made using our link support the project financially."
Huh. I didn't know this. This seems like a big deal. Makes me even more willing to consider Heroic's GOG support semi-official, considering they support autopatching and cloud saves under GOG. It really feels close-to-native, especially given how sluggish Galaxy can be on Windows for large libraries.
