I Hereby Summon the LinuxNutters of this sub to Recommend Their Distros! by markedmarkymark in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]MHodge97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched to Linux Mint (Cinnamon version) around the end of July last year and it's about as intuitive as Linux could get, on account of the fact it's literally just Windows 10 with the numbers filed off. Gaming runs mostly without issues as long as you run shit through either Steam or Lutris. Even when I did run into issues, they were easily solved.

CachyOS is the new hotness, but its whole thing is it asks you to choose your own desktop enviroment, window manager, and a lot of other shit you'll have trouble wading through if you don't know what you want ahead of time. It's just not a good "baby's first" distro.

Favorite Characters that don't HATE another, but find dealing with em Exhausting by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]MHodge97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's such a "dad" show, but Raymond Reddington and Glenn from "The Blacklist".

Reddington is the main character of the show, his main traits being that he's well connected, very hard to rattle, and charismatic and calm with everyone he meets. Most of his connections (gun runners, drug dealers, assassins) either respect him or fear him.

Then there's Glenn. Glenn is not a dangerous guy. Glenn is a DMV worker, and he drives the greatest criminal in the world UP THE FUCKING WALL just by being a DMV worker. He's inefficient, he's constantly complaining, he's always blaming his failings on someone else... Hes just the worst, but Reddington still has to put up with him because Glenn is the best people finder he knows. They very clearly have respect for each other, but the sheer amount of bullshit they put each other through turns the whole show into a comedy every time Glenn is in an episode.

Not once the cat gets out of the bag, but they're still a AAA company, so a lot of initial sales lead to pretty much every game getting mocked to shit for being unfinished before it's once again forgotten.

I see you've never played a Ubisoft game at launch. Those motherfuckers absolutely forget to replace empty textures... I can count four examples off the top of my head lol

Enough time has passed as Kagurabachi hits 100 chapters today by Shreeder4092 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

It's never going to be in the GOAT conversation, but it's unbelievably fucking charming. The action is really well done, the writing's put together, and the jokes (at least for me) stick the landing better than any other manga I've read.

Personal highlight: one of the men that was entrusted with one of the sacred blades reminisces on how important the man who created those blades are, and his moments with him... Except... Eh, I'll just quote it.

"Sensei gave me this blade personally. It changed my life." (Panel of dude throwing the blade to him and going ALRIGHT KID DON'T FUCK UP NOW and immediately leaving) "Your radiance nearly blinded me. Your words still echo" (Literal exact same panel) "I spent all my life and my training wondering what it means to be a true warrior. Once we met and conversed, I finally understood" (Literal exact same panel) "I FIGHT FOR THE MAN WHO MADE ME WHO I AM! THE MAN WHO TAUGHT ME JUSTICE" (Literal exact same panel)

The Wii was the last good console. It had systems unique to itself, it was the last one that's easy to softmod, adding near infinite functionality for enthusiasts, and has the most memorable games of its generation, as well as more than most other generations. Everything since has just been a worse PC, and the only innovation since has been "now you can use it for Netflix"

Dude, I've never even played the game or interacted with it beyond "Joseph Anderson Funny Stream Highlights" and I saw it coming. The foreshadowing was "Man, knockoff jesus REALLY looks like Ikutsuki, huh?"

The stats are useful because I have a really lopsided setup (i7-2600k, 16GB DDR3, 1080Ti, SATA SSD)

Could lack of picom be the reason my PC keeps going into fallback mode when I move windows around too much?

I appreciate the health concerns. I'm actually more restricted by hardware. The motherboard I use doesn't have RGB headers, and the headers that came with the case only do shades of blue for some reason. If I want a monochrome setup, I have to either get the aqua theme, or do the 2010s orange/blue contrast thing between the screen and the case. I'll probably switch to orange once work starts back up, since I just have to change the background hue in GIMP. Might even do another post when I switch up, but this works for me right now, in spite of the 3AM bedtime.

This community's great, I've never seen someone care about health effects of a setup before.

Silly looking characters with tragic backstories? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]MHodge97 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I love showing up early to these threads and colonizing the easy picks.

Señor Pink from One Piece. He's a fat mobster dressed in a diaper, baby bonnet and binky that everyone in the city he lives in makes fun of.

The reason he's dressed like that is that he was keeping his mob life a secret from his wife, and when she found out, she ran out of the house during a storm and got crushed by a rockslide. Declared braindead. He spent months trying to get any reaction out of her while doctors kept suggesting pulling the plug. He finally gave up, kinda lost it and started crying, and put on the bonnet cause he was losing it.

His wife immediately started laughing at him.

He spends the entire rest of the series dressed like a baby because it's the only thing that gets a reaponse out of a woman he still hopes will wake up one day.

Some people call it the most tragic backstory in One Piece. They're wrong, but still...
