The catarrhine who invented a perpetual motion machine, by dreaming at night and devouring its own dreams through the day.
Then as you ask “provide sources.”, it says simply “Source: Tech Review Websites”. If this came from an actual person I would genuinely ask it “do you take me for gullible trash?”.
It’s still somewhat useful, due to Google Search crumbling away into nothingness, if you ask “link me five sites with info about [topic]”.
It could be worse. You could speak a minority language. Then this shit stops being “mildly infuriating” to become “frankly depressing”.
“So, those guys generate positive advertisement for our games. How do we stop it, and make sure that public opinion shifts to «Nintendo is cringe and you’re a loser if you play this shit»?”
Also, what the fuck is with Japanese law, criminalising modding?
I’m not suggesting Arch, but Arch-based distros. Manjaro doesn’t break anywhere as often as Arch does.
…or alternatively go with Mint and re-learn how to handle the packages. pacman vs. APT is not a big deal anyway.
Its all just to play games.
Ditto - that W3.11 install is just because of the Windows Entertainment Pack, I love a few of the games in it (like Pipe Dream). I don’t even know if it’s able to connect to the internet!
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
I started with a Knoppix-based distro, called Kurumin. KDE 3 was the rage back then!
On your main point: the shell might be hard in the beginning, but for most things that you need to use the shell with, people on the internet already had the same issue and shared how to do it. Unless you’re actively trying to make something different, like I did with my audio switching script.
And even the sort of situation that you need to use the shell for decreased by a lot from back then to now.
Besides what other users said: if you feel comfortable with SteamOS you might want to give EndeavourOS and Manjaro a check - all three distros are based on Arch Linux, and while Arch is geared towards experienced users the later two try to “sell” it towards a wider audience.
A good definition of witch hunting would be “to publicly label one or more individuals as belonging to an undesired group, with little to no regard to accuracy”. It fits really well what the article claims those users to be doing.
Yup! Frankly it isn’t a really great visual novel, but the soundtrack is fire.
Every time that people talk about Chrono Cross’s soundtrack (it’s great by the way, I agree with you), this reminds me a little SNES game called Radical Dreamers. The soundtrack - largely shared with Chrono Cross - is perhaps its biggest selling point.
I can’t believe I’m considering moving away from Ubuntu after 20 years…
The good news is that all distros are pretty much similar to each other, so you can transpose most of those two decades of experience to any other distro that you might want to use. Typically the key differences are
The problem is that Ubuntu overuses snaps, even when there are completely acceptable .deb alternatives, that will perform consistently better; typically distros using appimage and flatpak don’t do the same.
That said if this isn’t a big deal for you Ubuntu might be still an option. As the saying goes, better the devil that we know.
Since your main priority is stability, I’d suggest either Debian Stable or Mint. Debian Stable is rock solid, but the software is ancient; Mint is a good compromise. They both have a nice package selection.
The reason why I don’t recommend Ubuntu itself is snaps. Huge downloads with lots of wasted disk space, wasted memory, less user control, mismatching themes, larger loading times… urgh.
Desktop environment is such a personal matter that it’s hard to say which one would be the best for you. I’m a big fan of MATE - it’s small, it’s nice, you can reasonably customise it without new extensions or applets. Xfce would be also a good performance-focused choice.
I gave it a check. If Pocketpair plays it smart they can make Nintendo look like a herd of muppets in the court, and even potentially acting on bad faith. Pocketpair might also simply change a few elements of its own game through an update, much like PvZ replacing Michael Jackson zombie with a disco zombie.
I’m not even sure how much patents apply to games.
Nor the whole idea of capturing opponents to raise them and make them fight for you. That’s from 1987 already, from the Shin Megami Tensei series; it predates Pokemon by a fair bit.
Good catch - you’re right.
Claiming “multiple patent rights” without mentioning smells like kafkatrapping.
I think that Nintendo’s delayed reaction was to gauge how much money it could get from bullying Pocketpair to accept some unfavourable settlement outside the court; if too little the costs would be too high to bother, considering the risk, but now that Palworld sold a bazillion it’s more profitable to do so. It might actually backfire if Palworld decides to go through the whole thing, I don’t know how Japanese law works in this regard but if Nintendo loses this certainly won’t look good for them, and even if they win it might be a pyrrhic victory.
But there’s enough of a problem you can see even if you just start at Julius, which is what I was concentrating on in my previous comment. The parallels to Trump are terrifyingly on the nose.
True that.
Weirdly enough (or perhaps not surprisingly) I see the same here with Bolsonaro supporters; there’s a disproportionally high amount of them among classicists, even if humanities as a whole leans heavily to the left.
It is the result of Japanese law. Further info here (in English) and here (in Japanese).
As such, yes, the Japanese government is also to blame. Plus any other government playing along with this crap, be it from USA or Brazil or whatever.
