A money laundering scheme, probably.

Wait, W H A T?
I think that you can hear, wherever you are, how my heart skipped a couple of beats and then how my PC roared with all it’s fans at a forced redownload of the beloved game.
P.S. Their sound design is always stellar. I already sneaked a couple of VTs pieces into my projects, hehe, and there they fit the new universe perfectly too. With all respects to Mick Gordon, I can’t remember any new Doom tracks like I do ExMx tracks, and like I do the melody of failure in VT2 that was put in one of it’s trailers.

You are right from a consumer standpoint and it also perfectly fits the sub we are in, heh.
I think that I’m of another type of gamer, maybe, and I in general learnt to enjoy that more than just good products, especially because of resulting comedy, drama and user content. Ranald’s middle finger, huntsman Kruber brushing the map off with a weapon turned into a minigun, never working host migration after someone ragequits, troll-healing Saltzpyre, accidentially throwing the grimoire for the first time, surprise patrols from the thin air… I don’t think I could’ve played that much time if not for these additional shenanigans and laughs after I stopped to care. And FatShark’s role there, with their overly ambitious early roadmap, hilarious miscommunications and\or absence, seemingly random decisions before they patch it right - that too played a role there and causes user engagement whatever they want it or not. It feels like your local punk gig: raw, honest, and only a drummer they share between all bands really knows how to play shit. Going into Darktide, I don’t have a community anymore 'cause fuck reddit, but dying to numerous bugs, watching all your bad decisions unfold in real time, and seeing teammates mistakingly shooting our Ogrin instead of enemy Ogrins is an on-brand fun of their games, and I’m all for it.

Now I’m hoping for a VT3 bringing the best of both worlds.
Was there any announcement of what’s to wait from FS? I stopped following the subreddit since I ditched reddit.

It’s different in all it’s equipment, awards, leveling system, but the core gameplay stays the same or becomes even better.

Legacy building is mostly for rich and powerful who came out of age, like in the mid to end of their life’s arc. We may dislike it, but even the most despised billionaires are probably planning something not for the community but for their close circle at least, or even their own commemoration, as they feel the death is coming. Be it a continuation of their business empire or an epic tomb like pyramids, there’s some though to that.
Musk has never left his college years, always high af, always in the moment although he is pushing well over 50. He is closong that question to himself by making many children, but I’m convinced he never stopped and reflected on what would be there or with them after he dies. He’s feeling overpowered, nearly immortal, and I feel like his death would be a sudden striking event that’d catch him completely unprepared.

- Comment on Apple blocks Fortnite's return to iPhone in US 1 week ago:
Why take sides if both are shit. Apple with their stupidly controlled walled garden VS Epic thinking they can buy their way into infinite reach everywhere. I’m rather pleased they didn’t agree with each other, because their cooperation seems even worse than them acting as separate entities.

Doom died with Ethernal. Dark Ages is just more of that decline.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 1 week ago:
As you can’t ditch it for alternatives, I suggest:
- KVM, kernel-based VM for better performance. See this vid about setting it up: youtu.be/BgZHbCDFODk Licenses (and cr=cks) should work, judging by the Adobe forums, but you’d have an overhead with Windows running, so you’d greatly win by stripping everything off from it, up to disabling system services or even their Explorer DE (like some gamers did with Win Aero in W7 times, killing it while the game was running).
- Wine (Proton) directly or via Bottles\Lutris\Steam increased it’s emulation capabilities and performance in the previous years. It works for highly demanding games, talks OK with my various discrete v-cards, skips the Win10 overhead, shows CC apps not unlike other programs, but it can cause random bugs, apps not communicating right to each other, and activating it may be not as straightforward. Before starting to rely on that, it’s better to test your exact worklfow, tools you use, etc.
You’d be probably drown in a question of what Linux distro to choose, considering there’s stuff like AV Linux or Pop_OS being recomended for media design. But you’d easily hop from one to another as you go, so it’s better to install something as simple as Mint first, and try Adobe workarounds there before moving next.
If you have specific hardware, I’d say that Wacom-like graphic tablets work like they should (tried several pieces, adapted some touchscreen devices, nearly out-of-the-box on modern Linux), but for something else, like controllers that need to talk to your programms in some special way, you’d better google their compatibility or try it yourself. Making a passthru of inputs to VM or taking it’s inputs by Wine wouldn’t usually be a problem, problems start when this piece needs a specific Win\Mac-only driver, and they can, especially if they are old, have a temper of a feral ghoul. I know that there are a lot of linuxoids creating in different kinds of media, so I’m pretty sure there are some answers on the web, at least for the same manufacturer, series or kind of hardware.
- Comment on Medal of honor on the PS1 1 week ago:
Awful tanky controls (understandable) didn’t stop me from getting 100% genitals shots in some of it’s missions. Local deathmatch was kinda better because both of you struggled with them. 7\10 for me as a kid, but if I’d play it now as it was back then, I’d quickly drop it in favor of something with a third person perspective. It wasn’t just there yet, and devs did the best they could.

No wonder airport guards started to break into the toilet after I gave birth to a fist-wide log screaming the same in a sudden mix of terror and glee.

There’s a mass without roofs, a prison to fill
A country soul that reads post not bills
A strike, and a line of cops outside of the mill.
There is a right to obey, and the right to kill.

Like many liberal people in my country with Pooh-teen, no one believed it’s even possible to degrade that quickly, and many still believe it’s not really happening and can be undone in a couple of swift changes.
- Comment on Nicole in my lemmy DMs be like 2 months ago:
Their work with the games’ projected GUI was properly futuristic and fitting, and it worked well on both consoles and M&B, and in DS mobile side-game too, not to say how gfx still look great all these years after.

So they routed all traffic in the WH through his sattelites, yay. Do I understand correctly that being an internet provider (and as WH can be singled out) means he can now know what resources everyone there access and force many proxy\VPN options shut? So he can get at least basic understanding if someone access matrix servers or whatever to leak data critical of DOGE, to block things he doesn’t like (e.g. live streaming broadcast for select journalists) or just to get one more reason to fire everyone?

He is not a hero, but he is the first crack in the floodgates. Whoever he is, he is a first sign of people losing temper. And his ongoing defence in court is a vehicle to make important problems relevant. Not everyone can stand behind shooting a CEO, but his act introduced the long-silenced topic that is a common ground with MAGA people too, and that’s why corpo fuckers want to put it down.
