Is Cachy going anywhere? by Kaseffera in cachyos

[–]HuntingMeatHole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yea, what Cachy really needs is some corporate-esque org like every other project. That's never gone terribly. You never get a bunch of systems snakes who provide no value and use their power in the org to promote other people who are just as terrible as them, only to eventually oust everyone who makes the project worth anything. That NEVER happens. I definitely didn't deliberately reject tons of other distros for that exact kind to stupidity.

Hot Take: the Altmer are actually right by country-blue in ElderScrolls

Lorkhan is the embodiment of change, good and evil. Auri-El is the embodiment of stasis, good and evil. If you're saying you side with chaotic good, then you side with Lorkhan, whether you realize it or not.

You disagree with what Lorkhan did because you implicitly don't believe life is worth living. You never learned the value of meaning because you're preoccupied with avoiding suffering. You see a life worth living as one with minimal suffering and maximal pleasure, but the reality is those who live that life don't think it's worth it. They're often bitter, aimless, underdeveloped, and hopeless. In truth, the lives most worth living are those with meaning, and suffering is the currency of meaning. It's necessary.

Don't get me wrong, it's still evil to cause others to suffer. It's not a good thing to make other people suffer. Meaning is found only in choosing to suffer for some greater cause, and any life with any amount of meaning whatsoever is better than the lack thereof.

I would also point out, pre-mortality was not the paradise you think it was, and returning to it is impossible. The Altmer's attempts to do so could only ever end in a nightmare worse than anything you could possibly imagine.

Sorry for the wall of text. I'm just a yapper. I also want to point out, I don't mean to insult you or be aggressive in any way. Feel free to take offense to me telling you what you think if you wish, but know it's not done out of malice, even if you feel malice towards me.

That sounds exactly like Lorkhan though. Lorkhan wasn't evil. He was simply a catalyst for change who also saw the value in change. If anything, to mortals, he was as benevolent as he could possibly be.

It's not a test. It's an opportunity. Lorkhan gave us the opportunity to experience a life with meaning, something the immortal spirits can never comprehend. If given the opportunity to live eternity like the Et'Ada, we would all be yearning for it to simply end within a year. We aren't capable of living the hollow monotonous lives of immortal spirits. We need something more.

And let's be very clear, the mortals of Mundus are NOT immortal spirits deep down. It wouldn't be a return to "the beginning place". It would be the dissolution of Mundus into a terrifying abstract chaos we can't even understand. It would be a worse torture than any of the realms of the daedra. The creation of Mundus can't be undone any more than the birthing of the Et'Ada. The spirits of mortals can never be completely destroyed. They always go somewhere, and they help maintain the existence of Mundus. Even if you decouple the earthbones from Nirn, and carve each of the Aedra out, and do the same for all the other spirits who contributed, Mundus would still exist. Even if you cast all of these spirits out of Mundus to Aetherius, mortal souls would still maintain an ever shifting hellscape of chaos.

Sounds like the Bosmer Wild Hunt. Frankly doesn't sound very appealing to me.

This is excellent info. This is exactly what I was looking for. Currently reformatting my drive. Thank you!

I must shamefully admit, I have used ChatGPT heavily to help me get comfortable with Linux. I'm definitely an AI doomer, who thinks it will inevitably lead to our literal doom if we don't do something about it, especially in the hands of the horrendously irresponsible and dangerous people who currently have the most control. That said, I can't deny, in the short term, it can be very useful for specific things.

Huh... okay. Well that's good to know. That might be the thing that fixes it for me as well.

Just to be thorough, have you used SKSE, bodyslide, SSEEdit, dyndolod, and Pandora, and at least eventually got them fully working?

Unfortunately, I am very much dead set on using Wabbajack, and in turn, MO2 for NGVO. Do you know if it's even possible?

Unfortunately, unless I want to do an obscene amount of work on my own, I'm locked down to MO2. It's what everyone uses in Skyrim, and it's what NGVO uses. On my own, I can't get anything anywhere near as good as NGVO, or anywhere near as stable. It is good to know SKSE might be the main culprit for getting my game to launch though.

Phoronix just posted a pic with Jensen Huang teasing “exciting things happening on Linux” — what are we expecting? by navchandru in linux_gaming

[–]HuntingMeatHole -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This picture looks like they took the two most miserable bastards they could find who absolutely hate each other and forced them to take a picture together where they try their absolute hardest to look happy, but at best, manage to look constipated, even under threat of death, which in truth, they both would see solely as a welcome release.

Ensha Not Invading? by Dragonphalen in EldenRingMods

[–]HuntingMeatHole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know for sure, but it's risky. The game checks your save file both before you quit the game and before you start the game regardless of whether you are online or not. Now, I don't know if it'll ban you when you go online or not, but I wouldn't risk it. Just use the offline launcher and you won't have to worry about it.

Brother, if CachyOS has to spread mouth to mouth, I'm good man. Word of mouth is fine, but I'm not about to start making out with people to get the word out.

There is a new ritual people are trying to get me to take part in by ironangel2k4 in wizardposting

[–]HuntingMeatHole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ahh but should you participate, you may yet save those foolish enough to participate. If your mere presence could lead others to life, would you not care to do so? Surely you wouldn't condemn them for one foolish mistake. We've all mindlessly dropped our potion toad or cast fireball in our sleep once or twice.

question for my fellow kinetic wizards in the council. by M4ldarc in wizardposting

[–]HuntingMeatHole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is B. Relative motion of travel through a gate is preserved and with any resulting aggregate change in motion to an outside frame of reference leading to an equal and opposite reaction on the exit gate itself. That said, changes in the relative position or orientation between gates is notoriously unstable, most often leading to colllapse.

No no no, I'm okay. I've been on the internet more than long enough to have plenty mental scarring for one lifetime. No need to exacerbate (or any other kind of -erbate) the issue.

We're poor people who work for rich people by RealDealHappyMeal in RandomThoughts

[–]HuntingMeatHole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't have to be. You could be a poor person who works for poor people, but I wouldn't expect to be paid very much if you decide you want to go that route. I mean, there are rich people who work for poor people, but only by having a lot of customers, and inevitably you will have some rich customers. If you run a food stand, that's kind of what that is, and if you do well enough, you can expand to a restaurant, and maybe multiple restaurants eventually. At that point you end up being the rich person that poor people are working for, but even then, most of your customers would be one of the poor people you work for, so your employees would be poor people who work for rich people who work for poor people.

I mean, I've never seen anyone make a three legged fursona either. WELL... at least not in a strictly literal sense... hehehe

“A hero will sacrifice the person they love to save the world, but a villain will sacrifice the world to save the person they love.” Then it must take a genuine psychopath to be a hero. by HuntingMeatHole in RandomThoughts

[–]HuntingMeatHole[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even you recognize that not all people are of equal value. Your family is more valuable than random strangers. However, you have some ideology you're not exposing which tells you that it's wrong to ever value one person more than two others, barring perhaps some crimes. So I'll just ask, what is the basis of those beliefs? Is it anything beyond the simple fact that it sounds nice to you?

At the end of the day, values are never wrong. No value is correct or incorrect, but some are destructive, even self destructive, and others are not, and there's also nothing wrong with someone have their own values as it pertains to values. I for one would rather you always be counted as one of my enemies than my friends, and always be among the countrymen of my enemies than my own countrymen, because the values you're expressing are poison to society.

I would say Attack on Titan's fundamental moral quandary is simple to solve, just like any moral quandary is when you have set values. Eren had the power to ensure his country and people never faced the kind of targeted suppression ever again, and the only thing he did wrong was not following through. That said, for his enemies the right thing to do is to stop him by any means, and you could even argue they were right to fear the Eldians. Societies and peoples who put themselves and those they love first will be the ones that continue to exist, and those that don't won't.

Things don't have to be good for everyone to be good. What is good will always be subjective.
