Yeah like, holy shit the pseudo religious bullshit here is getting annoying. I like Linux, I am supremely unlikely to ever even touch a windows system again (minus the occasional time where I might have to for work when accessing client systems) but this weird cult behavior is aggravating.

C wie Corruption!

It’s a quite enjoyable game, though some elements grew old towards the end. The visual design and music is also amazing. Unfortunately they dropped the ball on the ending a little, and it is very likely that this is the result of a flubbed rewrite, as there are certain hints within the game that imply very strongly that at least at some point things were clearly meant to be more complicated. The version of the ending we got has a very clear message as to what the writers intended to be the right choice.

I get to set up a system precisely how I want it to work, when an update releases for something, I get that update and I am not at the behest of a maintainer to decide for me if I need that feature or bugfix at the moment. There’s no preconfigured “opinions” on how stuff should work that differ from the defaults in most cases, which means everything usually actually just works, vs some distros where the maintainers felt they were smarter than upstream and consequently broke shit.

Given how much squenix struggles with changing its development practices, I would be very surprised if they actually got there.

Yup, I remember even back in the print era there was significant criticism about the relationships between games publishers and various magazines resulting in what was essentially advertising disguised as articles. Payment was either indirect (exclusive access to preview builds etc) or direct via in-magazine advertising. Can’t badmouth the big flagship game releases too much when EA just paid big bucks to advertise the very same title for the next view editions.

Honestly my greatest fear for the game is that it’s just bland. I can live with a flawed game (the original VTMB certainly could be called a flawed game itself after all.), but I think blandness would be the real killer for me.

Not a mint user myself, but I have helped a friend install it. The install script at the time would silently crash if it had issues with the network card name. Researching it I found that this had been reported 8 months before my friend ran into it, and a PR submitted, but was not even looked at for a month after. Sure, these are all (largely) unpaid volunteers, but if your objective is to be beginner friendly, stuff like that really shouldn’t be left sitting for so long.

Nope, because review bombing doesn’t exist on steam. You have to own the game to review it. A customer leaving a negative review is not review bombing.

Molyneaux is of course an extreme case, but I do find it remarkable how many of these “legends” of old utterly failed to replicate their success later down the line. Romero, Mitsoda, Roberts, so many more, all in the lamplight for their success in the 90s to very early 2000s, but utterly unable to live up to their reputation for near 3 decades after.

I have vague memories of playing the demo on a friend’s playstation, I think at the time I was kinda disappointed that you only got to play the fuchikoma.

Yeah a lot of the comments I have seen are outright bizarre, EA won’t change in any noticeable form. It’s maximum profit extraction now and it will remain maximum profit extraction after.

Ich dachte das wäre schon wieder durch, gibt es das noch? Ist mir jetzt nie bewusst aufgefallen aber angesichts meiner Wampe versuche ich auch meist nicht zu viel Zeit in der Süßwarenabteilung des örtlichen Supermarkt zuzubringen…

Weiß gar nicht ob das noch so leicht ist, der Schlangenöl Markt scheint ein sehr umkämpfter zu sein, zumindest ist das mein Eindruck bei der Menge auf die man so stößt.

Stable doesn’t mean “won’t crash”, or that there’s any guarantee that there are less problems. It just means that there won’t be any big changes during the distro’s lifecycle.

That might mean it crashes less since you won’t see much in terms of new features, or it might mean you have to live with a very annoying bug for a few years because the package maintainers didn’t want to back port the fix for whatever reason.

It’s probably uwsm. A faulty update got pushed. Start Hyprland without uwsm or downgrade to the prior version until the fix is rolled out. Ran into that today too.

Ich glaube Schepperer würde im deutschen besser funktionieren.

Ist halt das Problem bei sozialen Medien, über die Zeit wird der Gruppenkonsens zur Religion, und dann spielt es auch keine Rolle worum es eigentlich geht, solange das richtige Stichwort da ist. Sieht man z.b. gerne in den Technologie-Gemeinschaften, wo der Beißreflex völlig außer Kontrolle gerät, falls irgendwo etwa Apfel in der Überschrift ist.
