The article reads severely like "old man yells at clouds" against the practice of modding. If people want to modify the experience, it's their game to play (or ruin)

BAR is peak RTS game. Although lately I've mostly been playing Dawn of War for my strategy fix.

I've been playing American Truck Simulator, OpenTTD, and sometimes hopping into my playthrough of Stalker Gamma. It's a simple life.

I've been playing Doom again lately (as one does) but I really should take a detour through the other idSoftware games... especially this one

Yeah they don't want their precious anti-cheat to be tampered with... to protect their microtransactions, which is the real reason they are even making this game in the first place. To make it a vaguely skateboard themed Fortnite skin selling money printer.

Linux IS a lot of work to keep up with. But it's also way better to use after that work is done. And won't be enshittified against your will with every update, unlike Windows.

Fucking hell UK. Fuck that stupid ass island and it's government. 1984 and V for Vendetta were documentaries. huh.

I don't like that, but I'm still refraining from buying the game altogether because of it's ridiculous always-online requirement. The predecessor wasn't like that, and there's no reason for the singleplayer segments of a racing simulator who enjoyed extreme longevity through modding, to be stuck on remote servers that can and WILL be shut down at some point in the future.

Surprised it took this long to happen. The game was already a shambling corpse after it got sold to a crypto company.

Gran Tourismo 2 and 4, Ridge Racer Type 4, Burnout 3 Takedown and NFSU2/MW. I like a lot of racing games but these are my favorite retro ones.

It's thr reason a SIGNIFICANT portion of users still put up with their bullshit OS on their machines. Doesn't mean they aren't shitting the bed with said OS or their gaming divisions.

 

Hey hey people. Relatively new Arch user here, but not new to Linux in general. I've been using Arch with KDE Plasma on this HP laptop from 2013, and I've been enjoying it a lot after spending a long time on Mint/Cinnamon.

But, I've noted that KDE is a bit slow on this machine, and is probably a bit too much. Earlier today, I decided to try out something lighter, and installed LXQt on it as a second DE. The experience was okay, with much improved responsiveness, a nice customizable retro look, and overall simpleness that still did the job mostly. But I also ran into a few issues that probably had to do with having two different DEs on the same machine and user. One thing in particular ended up annoying me so much I went back to KDE: The Discover app would just refuse to play nice with setting a dark theme on the rest of the environment, even when I tried setting it up with qt6ct.

So now I'm considering going to XFCE instead, as I probably should have done from the beginning. I just wish it had Wayland support already (I know it's being worked on). Do you have any suggestions or tips for me in regards to this? I'm sure a lot of people will recommend their favorite tiling WM which I'm not sure I want to get into.

Also, other than that, upon returning to KDE, I found that my Discover would crash when trying to update Flatpaks (the only thing I install through it) and started thinking this experiment somehow broke it.... but it's Flatpak itself that seems to have an issue today. Might have to do with the latest curl update? Dunno if I should make a separate thread for that. https://discuss.kde.org/t/kde-discover-broken-with-latest-curl-update/21475
