I see your point, but in the case of corpos wanting to make money, it is very likely the newer ones are very much of lower quality than the ones I had 10-20 years ago.
Because, you know, “profits over people” and all that.

They’re not very good now, and sort of taste like chemicals. :/

While true, you don’t see anyone else at all even trying to be better than Steam, unfortunately. :/
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII - now on GOG 6 days ago:
Excellent, thanks again! I’m going to take a look at them when I feel like going through them.
Right now, I’m in the middle of FF12 Zodiac and FF16. I’ll eventually get to the older ones, just too many good games out right now!
As for Skyrim mods, Inigo/Recorder/Lucien were my absolute favorites, and they were my companions throughout one of my playthroughs. :)
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII - now on GOG 1 week ago:
I had no idea that they did voice acting mods! Thanks for sharing this!
I played FF7 OG right before the remake came out so I could really see the differences, and obviously used mods to make it more enjoyable for me. This would’ve been a must have at that point, but I am VERY interested in the FF9 voice mod. Is there one for FF8, and do they sound pretty good? :)

If you like this one, Atticus, you should try out Deltarune eventually! It’s like Undertale, but much more refined. :)
- Comment on Linux Distros Designed for Former Windows Users Are Picking Up Steam | Linux Journal 2 months ago:
I can see why so many options would make someone just shake their head and close the settings app.
I think you should go through them when you have the time, if you’re still interested in the other things KDE brings to the table. I went through all of the settings when I moved over to openSUSE Tumbleweed last December, and I’m still here today. KDE to me is what operating systems should do. Give me the power to change every single thing I can, while still having presets for people who don’t.
Anyway, I see your point though! The options are great for making the OS feel like mine!
- Comment on I have an idea ☝️ 2 months ago:
You’re about one of the only sane ones I see commenting in here. Humans are over all just a destructive little parasite that spreads like germs.
The world would’ve been better off if we died out. I know that hurts some peoples little survival instinct that their brains are programmed with, but I just don’t see with the trajectory we’re taking right now in this very moment a world that turns out fine with us both coexisting and healing the destruction we’ve caused to the nature around us.
Humans, by themselves, have caused most mass extinctions. That is both sad and frightening.

It is definitely great for what it is, and I do jump in every new update. Plus, it’s one of those games I can just throw on when I’m not feeling a particular type of game to play, and it usually does help me get in the gaming mood. :)
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 2 months ago:
I play games to have fun, which is the reason I don’t play multiplayer games (unless local). I also have a very limited amount of time to play games after work.
I cheat with WeMod on openSUSE Tumbleweed for every game I can. I’ve just recently beaten Resident Evil 2+3 and am currently on 4 right now, and am having a blast getting to play these games!
The number one reason I am having a blast is BECAUSE of the cheats. Every game is different for me, so I only use the cheats that will minimize the amount of time I have to do silly shit like collect X amount of this material or whatever other stupid grindy stuff they come up with that doesn’t respect my time as a player. Using the RE games as an example, I don’t turn on every single cheat. I don’t want to worry about inventory management (not fun to me, personally), so I turn on No Reload. This means my weapons will never need to be reloaded, which means more space in the inventory for the story important items. Win/Win for me. What I don’t do, for these games in particular, is use the infinite/god mode cheats. I still want to get damaged and try to recover if it happens, so I leave that one off.
People get… really fuckin’ weird when you talk about how much fun you have using cheats in a video game. “You can’t be having that much fun, or else you wouldn’t cheat!”, “You shouldn’t cheat on video games because it takes the fun away!”, “WOW, YOU NEED TO GET GUD SCRUB. ONLY LITTLE BABIES CHEAT IN VIDEO GAMES!!!111!!”. And here I am just having fun and completing game after game after game to get through my monumental Steam library. :P

Hey there! I ran across this comment and the subsequent thread and wanted to reach out to you!
WeMod (I will never call it Wand lol) can be used with Linux to varying degrees. I use this little project to play my games with WeMod.
I’m running openSUSE Tumbleweed, and have had a very high rate of success with using WeMod while on openSUSE. I’ve probably beaten about 20 games with them since last year when I made the move to openSUSE. Now, some games do not work right off the bat with it, and I’m not sure why.
If you have any troubles, please reach back out to me in a comment here, so that if we fix your issue, others might benefit too.
Cheers! :)
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 2 months ago:
YES. Exactly!
“Oh, what a WEIRDO for wanting to know about my insert obviously favorite thing / something they enjoy here!!!”
I’ve complimented peoples nails, their tattoos, their outfit/shoes, their accessory or any number of things you can think of that a normal person would consider a nice thing to be asked about, and even then some people just say thanks and then we sit there in silence when the door was wide open to say something, elaborate why the enjoy so and so, or ask something themselves.
That’s just the iceberg of course, I could rant and rave about the myriad of ways people are just so rude and/or self centered these days! It’s maddening, truly.
In a somewhat funny outcome, while I was reading into ways to become a better conversationalist (because I wanted to be better at it, since I never seemed to make friends very well LOL) everyone else was studying the book of “Isolationism, and You, the Main Character”.
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 2 months ago:
I think the larger problem is that a huge portion of our planets current inhabitants don’t know how to have a conversation. I’ve tried so hard to have actual conversations to go deeper than “the weather/work/kids/etc.” It seems almost impossible to find someone who can not only think for themselves, but also think of something to CONTRIBUTE to the conversation.
It always goes like this (where I am from):
Me - (sees a few tattoos on their person) “I see you have some tattoos! Do they hold any special meaning to you, or did you just think they’d look good/cool? :)”
Them - “I just thought they were cool.”
Literally it. In the same position, even from someone who doesn’t like talking either, I would ask if the person asking about my tattoos has any. It’s really as simple as that for most people, or could be, I should say.
I stopped putting so much time into trying to open doors for actual conversation a few years ago when I realized people just don’t know how to talk to actual humans any more. It’s fucking weird.
*I understand some people have issues with social activities, and no harm done. This is a very common thing though, and I just don’t believe 90% of people who I have interacted with are those types of people, if you know what I mean?

- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 3 months ago:
I left last year around December because I realized how well my Steam Deck ran games. I’ve dabbled with Linux over 10 years now, but gaming really is the only thing I bought my desktop computer for. It has an NVIDIA GPU in it, so I was a little wary of messing my stuff up by installing openSUSE Tumbleweed, but I had a spare SSD from a laptop that finally gave out on me, and installed that into the desktop.
Color me surprised when I find out just how much better Linux is that day (and even today!) than it was all those years I had tentatively tried distros like PopOS/Manjaro/Fedora/Debian/ElementaryOS/etc!
I say this every time I talk about Linux now, but I actually love my computer and being on it again. With Windows, I just wanted it to get the hell out of my way and let me play my damn games (I have a very limited amount of time when I get home from work to do anything I want to do, babysitting my OS is not something I want to do with that limited time)! With openSUSE, I feel totally in control and have my system set up the way I want it to.
There were some things I definitely had to get used to, seeing as I never had to research issues I was having with Windows (never had a problem in the 20 years I’ve been using them, EXCEPT for Windows 8. That was a big piece of flaming garbage, as is Windows 11. 7 and 10 were okay for me though).
Since last year, I have had to login to Windows only to mod my games and move them back over to my Linux SSD (which Linux allows me to pull files from my Windows drive, and is SICK by the way!) and I think maybe play ONE single game because of those mods or A mod. Totally worth it, all said and done!
With Windows, it feels like I’m stepping into someone else’s home. With Linux, it feels like MY home. :-)

KDE is the best desktop environment I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. So much better than Windows at everything I want out of my desktop!
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 3 months ago:
Very true. When I first ever installed Linux, it was on an old laptop that I wasn’t using for anything serious anyway, so the install process was simple for someone like me, even as a kid. That doesn’t mean I knew what I was doing by any means, but that was something that made me pause to try and decipher what all these words meant on the screen. lol
- Comment on Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk 3 months ago:
Hey there! What I do on Linux is use the Thorium browser to make the Apple Music an app in the OS. It works really well, but does have some weird visual glitches every now and then. I chalk that up to me having an NVIDIA GPU and using Wayland though, so it could work better for you!
As for lossless, I am not sure on that as I don’t have ears that can tell the difference so it has never been something I focused on!

Cider also went from an open source project to a closed source project. I stopped using them after that.
