Sweet. I just found out about this project a little while ago. Good luck to everyone, and congrats on your milestone!

They know what they doin. Take off every zig.

I have the first two games, but I’ve never played them. I’ve done 3 and 76 (the latter of which I hear borrows heavily from 4).

Are the first two better narrative-wise?

Ooh, the secretest of achievements! So secret, even QA missed it!

I’ll have to try for that in 2025. Gonna be wiping Windows over Christmas.

Yeah, and it’s not that I think Fallout is bad, it’s just…I think it feels too cartoonish? Like, people are supposed to be struggling, but despite the post-apocalyptic setting, each faction has their own little kingdom and seems to be doing alright. Medicine and stim packs abound, and nobody is really living on the knife’s edge.

And while that’s at least partly by design (supposed to be satirical sometimes), it doesn’t feel completely satirical, like Saints Row, or completely serious, like the Metro series. It’s caught somewhere in the middle, and I think that’s what doesn’t appeal to me; I want it to be silly or not silly, and it rides that line in a way I don’t like.

I don’t hate it, I just got bored. I felt similarly after Fallout 3. I think that universe just isn’t for me (also, the weight limits are ass for free players). I played the Metro series before Fallout, and I think it kinda set the bar too high.

I’m not surprised people still play, though. It’s pretty fun, and people are generally nice. There’s lots to do, and the quests are decent.

I like Delugia for any monospace needs. It’s a nerdfont, and it’s nicely readable without looking too chunky.

When I worked at the state University, we had lists to check that stuff. Sometimes it’s obvious, other times, not so much. Good catch!

When I tried it a year or two ago, no. But the Deck wasn’t as popular, so who knows now?

I’ve also read that you can maybe update the firmware with fwupd over a wired connection, but I haven’t been able to verify.

My brief time using it, it’s how you set up profiles (for sharing a controller or using specific layouts for different games), it’s how you tell the controller what buttons the back paddles map to, and it’s how you update the firmware.

It’s not really necessary, in my experience, unless you want to use the back paddles. Steam Input just sees the controller as a standard xinput device, so the back paddles are otherwise ignored.

This is the reason. Every public school, like University of Chicago, has non-resident pricing that’s typically two to four times higher than in-state resident tuition. Source: used to work at a state university.

The original idea was probably to encourage people to stay within their state and boost the state economy, but greed from the admins kinda changed the nature of things.

Huzzah! Congrats

Nope, this one:

It should be compatible with everything.

When you swapped CPUs, did you remove your GPU? Even if you didn’t, are you sure it’s fully seated?

Looks similar to what I have. Maybe I got a bum one or they’ve updated it. 🤷

Nobody needs an IDE. After all, you can just open a blank file and get straight to work. I could also just use Linux without a DE. Who needs all those graphics, amirite? I could also use a can with some string instead of a phone—or better yet, just shout really loud!

Not the person you asked, but don’t get the dongle-only version. Upgrade to the version with Bluetooth. The former is cheaper, but it gives me trouble on Linux, and I’ve never seen people complain about the Bluetooth version (I think it’s called the 8bitdo Ultimate?).

I have an 8bitdo controller, and it’s given me nothing but trouble. It’s a dongle-only version (non-bluetooth, but cheaper), and it has some weird bug where the controller is recognized as both an xinput device and a keyboard. I’ve tried updating the firmware to no avail.

I’ve heard other people sing praises about the Bluetooth version, so I think people should avoid being a cheapskate on this one.

From what I recall, it wasn’t something you could easily use like a normal distro, and that version was based on Debian (so stable but outdated software). It only worked on some hardware, and you had to do a full system wipe.

More likely, this is them officially partnering with handheld or gaming laptop makers, using their latest Arch-based distro and allowing them to use Valve/Steam branding as a selling point.

It’s also a reference to Dan from the Game Grumps, who declared that every haiku should end with “It’s snowing on Mt. Fuji.”
