Not sure what works best in your case. I’m a Debian cat myself but I have been considering openbsd as a future option.

Yea I love the adaptive enemy AI, the way they put on vests and helmets and NVG.
I remember being a kid watching a friend play MGS2 and being amazed when the enemies would sweep the area in formation . Then seeing the footage that they had input from real life soldiers to get it right. The games are labors of love for sure.

Still on metal gear solid 5 the phantom pain. I’m taking my time. I’ve put about 60 hours into it so far and still have lots to do. Not bad value when I picked up ground zeros and TPP for like 7 shmeckles in a steam sale.

Of course it did 🙄.

Curious to see what it can emulate with the new specs. I have the steam deck now but the form factor or the pi was always nice.
- Comment on How often do you hop distros? 1 year ago:
Only when there is a real need . Debian runs on everything and it is a no nonsense distro so I’ve been happy with that for years… Started on Debian 6 and continued until now on laptops servers and SBCs. Before that it was Ubuntu and crunchbang for a few years and before that was fedora core that came on like 6 cds with KDE3.
At this point the only interesting thing for me are security changes. Games are sorted due to wine , proton and vulkan and and all of the great work going on there.
I keep and eye on quebesOS , NixOS, subgraphOS and openBSD and alpine.
The dream OS would be hardened by default. Hardened Kernel with, ACLs for everything defined by default. Like each app should be required to list all of the files it accessed and the type of access in a manifest, list permissions it needs and of URLs it accesses. Obviously there is a need for some wildcard stuff but it could be limited in scope. More of the kernel in rust would be nice with legacy systems removed to reduce the technical debt.
I know we have apparmor and selinux and pax/grsec (if you pay) but I think they dont scale well and require a massive investment in time to understand and debug.

Oh i have already played it. Yes same here, I went into it blind so it was great. Emulated it too so I could speed up the grinding

Bravely default for the 3Das or emulate it with Citra
- Comment on Streaming Has Reached Its Sad, Predictable Fate | What should I watch? is now a much easier question than How do I watch it? 1 year ago:
Provides a better service and doesn’t just jack up the price. Steam sales are some of the best discounts around. Embraced Linux and worked to build upon its open foundations to deliver a great handheld which is open . Great customer service in general. Obviously there will always be people pissed off but going by sales and the general vibe I think it largely favors a positive position.
I think steam is a private company so there are no shareholders to crack the whip. They seem to be good to their staff too and give back to the Linux community.

- Comment on Mozilla review of 25 car brands finds they're "a privacy nightmare" 1 year ago:
I know I used to develop for it. My point was directed at the funding . The web needs a strong alternative to chrome now more than ever. Neutering projects like servo does not help. Also most non technical people don’t even know of Mozilla and anyone that does probably associates it with Firefox.
Anyway I’m downvoted for having a valid opinion. Whatever

I’d rather they just focused on making the browser better to be honest. Let the EFF or another org do this type of work

Stray, cyberpunk and red dead 2 and forza. I’m waiting until they come down in price and it forces me to play through my backlog.

Tried ghostrunner but ot was not for me. It was just not fun to play and felt way too difficult. Playing a bit of stardew valley and recently started tunic too.
