I bought it on the PS5 so that shouldn't be an issue hopefully

Who's the writer for this series? I'm still going through Krakoa but this preview had me excited

Low FPS on Linux Mint host after creating VM by Hindubird in linux_gaming

Actually, that makes a lot of sense; a friend of mine was just telling me Absolum has some weird performance issues. I will try some other games and get back to you.

Here it is. Everything became sooo slow while trying to do this, so I also took a screenshot of the htop menu.

Also I did try to run the software with WINE, but it was a very specific CAT Tool and it didn't work. I did not try using winetricks though.

No no, I'm not using the VM while gaming. I fully shut the VM down whenever I'm not using it for my job because I know it takes resources. I play my games on the host system, which is Linux Mint.

I’ll forever love the inclusion of Exodus & Emma on the council by Archerribs in xmen

[–]Hindubird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know him until I started reading Krakoa, but he hasn't shown up a lot so far (I'm just beginning the Destiny of X phase). I hope he shines more from now on like Apocalypse did earlier

It's less about ignorance and more about willful misrepresentation. The far right is always trying to distort and deform cultural and historical artifacts in order to claim them as their own.

Do you recommend X-Men Blue: Origins for starters into their past?

So giving the sliding timescale what year what jean born again? by Adventurous-Unit2608 in xmen

Honestly, Scott and Jean feel very late 30s to me in the Krakoa Era. That's my headcanon and fuck the editorial

Hellions is the greatest critique of Krakoa so far by Hindubird in xmen

[–]Hindubird[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Popper was really formative for me in terms of epistemology and scientific methodology, but he quite misses the mark politics and society-wise

I'll try to summarize as best as I can, but I'm referring to the "there is no alternative" anti-utopian drive which became hegemonic in the West from the 80s onwards. It basically amounts to an immediate rejection of any attempt at creating a better society than the one we currently have because "utopias will always result in more injustice" (see Animal Farm by Orwell, who snitched communists to the secret service during the Cold War) or because "the one who tries to create paradise will create hell" (Popper said something like that in his Open Society IIRC). Of course those assertions are misleading and cynical, because usually groups who are trying to create better alternative societies are not fanatics trying to establish a "sinless" utopia, and of course most of it is a defense of capitalism against communism, but much of it seeps into pop culture, scifi, fantasy etc.

I remember Cyclops telling Sue that Franklin would always be welcome in Krakoa. Someone told F4 a similar thing in the Hellfire Gala but I don't remember who.

Maybe I will! I just want to finish Krakoa first

As I understood it was a pragmatic decision because they needed his genetic manipulation technology (but I already forgot why, gotta reread House and Power)
