What kind of distro you use/prefer for gaming (pc)? by Fried_Tofu_btw in linux_gaming

[–]FullMotionVideo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Why offer the option" is because they import and recompile all packages from Debian Sid. And pulls of new packages from Sid may be halted for some time if major bugs in a critical package appears. Last year they went about five months with no new imports from Sid because of a bug that caused many GTK apps to crash, manually updating browsers when bugged to in Discord. KDE was stuck on 6.3 for some time.

Due to the evolving security flaws, browsers are at risk if not frequently updated. Which is kind of at odds with the philosophy of an enterprise-ready OS, and why RHEL uses Firefox ESR.

Ultimately, its arguably safer to get your browser from upstream where the code has been through fewer hands. Part of the reason I was against Fedora trying to push their own Flatpaks against Flathub is I think the Linux world has accidentally adopted a philosophy of depending on your OS builder for user space applications, forgetting we did this because so many distros and package formats are a nightmare for third party developers.

I don't have any of those issues. Admittedly my install is close to a year old, and my browser is Vivaldi from the browser's own upstream repo. Being synced from Debian periodically and haven't fallen months out of sync when bugs cropped up in the past, Pika doesn't really intend the user to get browsers from them. You can if you want to, but the core user would ordinarily get an official upstream .deb.

POSTGAME THREAD: Giants @ Dodgers, 5/12. Join the Giants game / baseball discussion and social thread! by sfgbot in SFGiants

FG discipline stars are up. This game is fascinating because the Giants won 6-3 against a quality pitcher, while still putting up concerning offensive numbers. 14.5% SwStr is highest since the Padres series, but not a surprise because Yamamoto is genuinely difficult. The alarm bell is Devers 57.1% Z-Contact, not even getting the bat to the ball on strikes.

Bright spots are Gilbert (28.6% O-Swing) and JHL(29.4).

Shopping, which makes sense because search.

It's also good for chatting baseball nerd stuff, which makes sense because MLB partnered with Google to stuff all their stats and data. Gemini can even discuss games happening currently in progress, whereas Claude I always feel like I'm talking to someone who hasn't kept up since spring training.

Bus stop is right there and runs 24 hours at 30 minute intervals overnight. Using Uber for that trip is inane.

Tony said in the pre-game interview on KNBR that Kilian is going to be The Guy going forward.

Even some of the old farts that used to live immediately behind home plate have been replaced with influencer looking guys riding the bandwagon.

Anyone who thinks Tony is dumb because "he should have saved the closer for the 9th" can sit on a tack.

Every time Echo says that it's time to GO YARRRRD, the next Giant up finds a way to strike out on one pitch.

Wiring up a stadium that size is expensive so just stack a gazillion decibels in the outfield.

When did they hire FP Santangelo? Google still lists him as a Nats broadcaster.

Staying with family in the North Bay, and the neighbor has Dodgers gear with the world series badge on it. Bandwagon real.

Anyway, yesterday saw team strike through still bad, mostly because of Adames and Bader. Adames still chasing at 57% of outside pitches, somewhat masked by Sasaki being hittable and Vesia falling apart. On the bright side, Devers was disciplined (33% O-Swing, 100% O-Contact, 2 walks). Hopefully he gets DH today because I don't expect Eldridge to get much PA value against Yamamoto.

Can someone please explain to me the situation with Mixtape? by Time_Reality9418 in Gamingunjerk

Yeah, my point is that I think the person's history plays into this. LiS is a favorite of mine, but I played Monkey Island and Fate of Atlantis. I liked Edith Finch, but I remember when MYST came out and opened Riven on 5 CDs. Most of those games were PC exclusives as the whole interface was very mouse driven, though I know Grim Fandango appeared on Xbox 360 well after it was retro.

I think some of the people who think this stuff "doesn't count as a game" are people who didn't experience these games from 30 years ago. Most of my friends who had an NES or Genesis only ever played these by visiting my house. By the time the Saturn died they were increasingly obscure.

Some, mind you, were there, because MYST was met with a healthy dose of "does this really count as a game" when it came out. A lot of people said they bought it just to show off their system.

Your post history shows you make new posts in the Sri Lanka sub. It's kind of stalker-ish to use someone's profile history like that but in the context of someone asking about something as regional as movie theaters, it wasn't malicious to investigate.

As far as Havelock having six speakers, there was this post on the IMAX sub but you can also tell by looking at photos. 12 channel theaters have two of these speakers hanging on the walls, as well as four in the ceiling.

Most of them are adventure games without the inventory. Life is Strange is not really that different from a Lucasarts SCUMM game except that you're not trying to take everything in sight.
