Dude looks like Temu Prince Harry.

Epic and GOG work on Heroic just fine and I’ve run two standalone games (Elite Dangerous and ESO) using Lutris with no problems.

There’s zero chance there won’t be a Fallout 5 but Elder Scrolls is their next major game, so it won’t be soon.

If it came out tomorrow it wouldn’t be “soon,” Fallout 4 came out 11 years ago.

In the meantime there’s a great free Fallout game for anyone who wants it despite it not being titled Fallout 5.

The game is currently listed for $39.99 on Steam. Reviews are “mixed” after 5 years of Bethesda adding content to the game, which originally released to overwhelmingly negative reviews, so not “great”.

It doesn’t require a subscription or microtransactions and making it sound like some sort of mobile game only shows you don’t know what it is.

The game does not charge for a subscription, but you most certainly have to have one, because you have to login to the game. There would be no way for them to try and sell you shit through their microtransaction store every single time you login otherwise. Which they do. You are not obliged to buy them, but you are obliged to view ads for them.

Now then. Every single thing you just said is demonstrably wrong. What exactly makes you the authority on what Bethesda intends to do with Fallout?

I’m not sure what your point is - is it that they made Fallout 76 so you could play it for free? Or that Fallout 76 is proof they’re going to make Fallout 5? Or what.

Bethesda is not going to make a new Fallout game while Fallout 76 keeps printing money.

I’ve said this all along, they want subscriptions and mtx, they don’t want to make video games. Starfield was the last one we will get and we only got that because it was Todd’s stupid baby. ESO and F76 are where they want to be going forward. They will keep expanding them and accepting people’s money and license TV shows now I guess.

All you have to do to see it is find a piece of current but generally ill-regarded media and post something negative about it. Then just sit back and watch all the totally real users flooding in to defend it and talk about how people who shit on it are only doing so for weak personal reasons, and it’s not that bad they’ve always kinda liked it etc.

Or just go to any halfway popular sub that talks about a food item that comes in a wide variety of flavors and brands. It’s a constant parade of pictures of brands with titles like “Who has tried this stuff and loves it?” or even “I can’t stand this stuff,” with an army of totally grass-roots posters defending it as “not for everybody but I love it” - and so on and so on.

It’s so obnoxious I can barely stand it anymore. Product subs and media subs are just worthless. I still get some traction out of niche gaming and hardware subs but that’s about it.

Man, and here’s Iran, always taking the high road, steadfastly refusing to attempt to influence Western countries using underhanded techniques - and what do they get for it? Foreign intervention! Well I never. I guess they’re just going to have to step up their game and start fucking with the West now eh? Sauce for the goose and all that!

It ought to be framed as “we want them to leave. The whole purpose of the tax is to get them to leave.” The state would be better off without them. They are net negatives. They use massive amounts of resources and give nothing back. Pile all of them on Texas and see how that goes.

For real, all my TVs are Sceptre. They are not easy to find, but they are incredibly reasonably priced and completely dumb perfection.

If people like us make them popular enough, maybe they’ll realize this is a lucrative niche market.

Or is a vampire.

Pff, I don’t trust Apple to be able to get Siri to do shit.

I drew the line at Windows 10. It was bad enough. 11 was a bridge too far. I basically quit 4 months ago and wiped my last Windows machine today. I just made a post about it!

For anyone on the fence, do it!

Yes! And I would like to add, I’ve never been able to get the scanner to work on my printer from Windows. I always had to scan to a usb stick on the printer itself and then carry it to wherever I wanted.

Linux: just worked. Got done setting up the printer and it asked me if I wanted to set up the scanner too, it hadn’t even occurred to me.

The single largest reason we’ve been living with inflation for 6 years now is this assclown getting interest rates to near zero in his last term. It’s also why homes are completely out of reach now and if he gets the rates back down, homes will be “back in reach” in the name of debt slavery only and what follows will be even worse, which will get blamed on the next Democrat in office.

Ah yes, a freefall indeed.

Yeah, I’m floored myself. To be fair, I haven’t strayed from using it with Steam VR, so I can’t speak to anything else, but it was literally plug and play. Elite’s graphics were jumpy but all I did to “fix” it was change the quality in the game settings to “VR Ultra” and it was better than it ever was on Windows immediately. I’m gonna do Alyx sometime this week.

I did try it (and Geany, and etc), but it didn’t have the ability to “save as to ftp” which is a stupid thing to get hung up on, but I’m stuck in a groove with how I do certain tasks in web dev. This was before I realized you could mount a server like a drive in the File Manager (another awesome Linux thing I didn’t know I needed in my life), so I may go back and try it again, but since I got Notepad++ working fine and I’d have to port over all my syntax highlighting I’m not really motivated.

Oh yeah, I’m lucky in this regard. I became a (partial) Mac user back in 2002 when my company gave me a MacBook and told me all the stuff we were building had to work on Mac (educational software). I was always a Sonar guy - going way back. Sonar basically died so I was forced to start over and I was looking at Ableton and others but I decided to go with Logic because I had a spare Mac that could handle it just laying around. So I’ve been a Logic on Mac user since 2018.

But yeah, I can see how if you use tools like Ableton it would be a real impediment to switching.
