They got my $40 in 2012. I absolutely loved the Wing Commander series; Wing Commander II was an embarrassingly important part of my adolescense, I love space sims, and still had fond enough memories of the name Chris Roberts that I didn’t think he’d blatantly lie and steal from me.
How people are still giving these clowns money I have no idea.
- Comment on How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord? 1 month ago:
Isn’t discord just shittier, proprietary IRC? I’m only on it because my Linux distro’s dev uses it for communication for some reason, but from what I can tell, it’s just a locked-down IRC client you can buy emojis and shit on.

Iowa here, same thing. This state has a very progressive history, but that’s being erased at lightning speed

This is a deeply unpopular take but it’s the correct one. I caucusef for Bernie in both 2016 and 2020 and the amount of Hilary/Biden supporters to Bernie supporters in both respective years was dishearteningly high.
The only people who show up for primaries and caucuses are predominantly white, Christian heterosexuals of retirement age.
They’re absolutely fucking terrified of anything remotely approaching progressive policy and they’ll never, ever let us run anyone who doesn’t make them feel safe with all their old white money.

Yep! I’m on Nvidia, the new drivers are really solid. I’ve read AMD cards run fine as well, but don’t use one
- Comment on Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission 4 months ago:
I’m gonna start sounding like a shill, but check out Nobara. Painless install, steam games just work out of the box.
- Comment on Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission 4 months ago:
Same. They’ve always done this shit, but installing windows - and then uninstalling or disabling all the cooked-in bloat and spyware - has become so ridiculously tiresome that I just said fuck it and went Linux full-time.
Every update is starts all over. There’s no such thing as a clean windows install.
Nobara was up and running in like ten minutes with no fuckery at all, and it’s no nice not having to fight my OS on everything.

I’ve been running Nobara for about a month now and really like it. It’s a gaming focused distro put together by Glorious Eggroll, and it’s set up to make Linux desktop gaming as easy as possible. A few of my more demanding games drop a few frames, but for the most part things run just as well or better in Linux.
It’s worth a shot.

Oh so even if you do the registry workaround it’s worthless? Lol amazing, good to know.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
So you technically can move the task bar to the edge in Windows 11, but if requires a registry change. Ludicrous, but if you’re a home user you can do it.
If you’re stuck on an IT-managed install for work like I am, however, you’re out of luck

Fuck yes, this is the answer right here.
- Comment on What's the best type of food to eat in an active shower? 9 months ago:
I enjoy eating peaches in the shower Any messy fruit, really, but stone fruits in general.
Your can just shamelessly get in there, get that nectar all over your face, and enjoy it. Probably more enjoyable if you have a beard and need to eat carefully.
I no longer drink, so this is like my shower beer now.
