Been playing TS4 again, lightly modded to facilitate poly relationships. I’m not a fan of the shit storm of DLC that’s basically the staple of the game’s monetization at this point, but that’s nothing that can’t be solved on the high seas. Otherwise, I still enjoy the series a lot. (Also, shout-out to the various weird spinoffs like Castaways.)

Plus it has a decent web framework in Blazor. I’m not a developer by trade, but I’ve enjoyed it in the context of small, personal projects.

Shoot, that’s hardly an exaggeration - I was only recently able to deprecate the last of our Server 2003 instances, which was running a program originally designed for 2000 Server!

I work IT at a hospital here in the US. The key issue is compatibility. Most of our vendor software flat-out does not support Linux at all, either on the client or server side. Shit, half of it barely even works on modern versions of Windows.

Playing on my Oldschool Runescape ironman. I’m currently grinding out cooking so I can cook my own sharks. Other than that it’s a bunch of stupid farm runs. >:(

Been on it for about a year now, both with my desktop’s A770 and my laptop’s AMD iGPU. Experience has been pretty much flawless.

A bit of an anticlimactic ending, but it’s still nice to see Team 0% achieve their goal.

Air Ride is goated.

The consequences of straying too far from spawn got less interesting.

Maybe not your speed genre-wise, but Final Fantasy Tactics has a version for the PSP. Goated game.

I still use Clonezilla to back up devices before performing reinstalls/major updates (when Timeshift isn’t practical). No issues so far backing up and restoring both Windows and Linux partitions/drives.

What do you mean? Taylor Swift made Minecraft.

They fixed the distance bugs :(

Beta 1.8 and its consequences was a disaster for my childhood nostalgia.

Given we’re not counting the Steam Deck or virtual console titles, I’d probably go with the DS. I’m too big of a dirty Pokemon fan (among the million other great IPs on the older Nintendo handhelds), and the DS is particularly nice because it has backwards compatibility with the Gameboy Advance.

Fedora. I love Debian as well, but both of my computers needed more recent libraries, and now I’m curious to see how far I can take these installs.

I use Debian as a default and Fedora when I need a newer kernel/newer libraries. You aren’t weird at all. Or, at least we’re weird together. :)

Perhaps. Tencent’s chief strategy seems to be to own 30% of every tech company on Earth, so honestly I wasn’t too surprised in this case. ;D

Tencent only owns a minority share in Larian. (Some resources say it’s around 30%; this is the source used in Wikipedia’s article.)

The most important of these is undoubtedly the studio founder Swen Vincke, who still heads Larian to this day - but not only as managing director, Swen also makes creative decisions. Because Swen also owns the majority of the studio - the Chinese publisher Tencent holds only a minority of the shares - Larian is immune to the waves on the stock exchange, to which CD Projekt, for example, is exposed. (Translated from German to English using Vivaldi.)

There’s something magical about the idea of suspending a king in a room above a volcano. Y’know, just in case the peasants get mad. ;)

Best of luck! I’m sure it will be !!fun!! either way.
