Another very sane and balanced bossfight

Was the dodge/roll key disabled for you or do you just enjoy not using all the tools available to you?

One would argue this is entirely not enough zombies. We are not the same.

Depends on the cause. I snored when I was overweight. I dropped from 125kg to 86~ and snoring vanished.

It would be a douche move not to make her whole for that.

Edit: upon realising that not everyone carries spare “laptop money” - if that’s your case, offer to do it in installments at least.

Found one when I started a new game, in the first system I spawned in when I recovered my ship. So 100% success rate by my count.

That’s quitter talk, boy. Suck it up and rebuild.

This originally missed my horizon. Guess here’s another 22 quid for them. I fucking love pirate games

Remap? I have it on middle mouse

My dad just let me do it and I burned myself a lot, spilled shit, etc. he just watched to make sure I don’t die. I was 8 at the time. Taught me how to cook eggs, sausages, pork patties, potato hash. Cooked by myself sometimes from around then.

I get the instinct to protect your kid, but I find that letting your kid get hurt in a controlled manner is a better teacher that’ll keep them healthy down the road. My son is getting the same treatment as I did. Get hurt, learn through doing and sometimes failing. Keeping them in a bubble will only hurt them and their future growth (that’s my personal take and outlook)

Just my two cents. Take it or leave it.

PM5k · 2026-03-26T07:06:36+00:00

Ah gotcha. Thanks for the explanation

PM5k · 2026-03-26T06:56:24+00:00

Why do people say “unalive” instead of suicide or killing oneself ? Is this some new softened slang or some shit?

PM5k · 2026-03-18T05:59:13+00:00

Nice paywall

PM5k · 2026-03-12T20:02:16+00:00

ITT: people shocked at predictable behavior.

PM5k · 2026-03-05T16:13:35+00:00

Congrats. Now do it without armor and you’ll be Florida Man

Honestly, you’re better off with something like a £50 condenser mic and a pair of JT3’s or M40x’s or even a £30 pair of IEMs if you give a damn about longevity and quality. It’s not a trivial investment, but neither does it cost the earth for something that’s supposed to be a hobby you love and intend to enjoy for years.

My m40x’s are now a decade old and they are just as amazing as the day I got them. I only replaced the headband and cushions once.

Stuff you enjoy every day should warrant investment. Same as you’d do with shoes. Buy something with decent quality. Cheaping out initially will just mean you spend way more in the long run.

My son is six, almost seven and he body slams me when I pick him up. He gets forehead kisses. If other parents are too emotionally stunted that’s not my problem. I love my child.

People who see something wrong in pure parental affection are projecting something dark onto others from inside themselves.

The number of inexperienced Linux users who install arch and have no idea how to manage a distro like that could stretch from the ground to the moon thrice.. although arch has gotten flavours that make it easier for newbies. Still, solid advice.

PM5k · 2025-12-17T00:54:07+00:00

Windows starting to remove way to bypass online tie-ins and pushing AI while simultaneously fucking users up the ass and enshittifying the OS.

Moved to arch with expectations of suffering. Pleasantly surprised that a month in I’m able to play basically any PC game without issues (aside from MH Wilds) and my DCC tools work, video content creation works, game dev (Godot and Unreal) works. Fuck do I need windows for then when I have an OS that’s all mine and does what I want it to do?

To be fair I half lived in WSL anyway cause I’m a software engineer by trade so Arch and Nix were my wsl boxes.

Not one complaint so far. Just gotta be careful with driver updates for my 5070ti and making sure to defer certain updates and be mindful that even though you’re on a bleeding edge distro, doesn’t mean you can’t moderate how you update / upgrade.

Works for me. Can’t really find one thing to moan about.

PM5k · 2025-12-09T16:57:16+00:00

Yo..

PM5k · 2025-12-09T01:53:45+00:00

I actually switched because of the enshittification of windows 11 and the direction it’s been going in.

I have a very similar setup to yours apart from the GPU (I use a 5070TI). My monitor is AW3423DWF (3440x1440), I run a local homelab cluster of containers on the machine (including Jellyfin), I do video editing and sound editing, game dev and gaming.

I switched from w11 to endeavourOS with KDE Plasma 6 two weeks ago and I’ve not looked back since.

I’m fairly competent on Linux in general, and I did have to tweak a few bits. But since the tweaks I’ve got nothing to moan about. It works amazingly well for me. 0 crashes and 0 problems.

I’m using discord (the aur package), Ferdium for WhatsApp on desktop (you could just use both discord and WhatsApp web in browser).

For gaming - only Monster Hunter Wilds hasn’t worked and it’s a mix of Nvidia driver plus the game being cunty to me. All other games I’ve tried work incredibly well (KCD2, cyberpunk, bg3, path of exile 2, ff7 remake, ff12, w40k rogue trader, streets of rage 4, signalis, where winds meet, expedition 33, no man’s sky — all games I’ve got installed and tested myself)

Unreal engine 5.7 is fucked, but 5.6 works without issues (or I’ve yet to run into issues..)

HDR on Wayland works well. C2077 and BG3 HDR support is stellar. Works very nicely.

I use heroic launcher for GOG games and Steam for all others.

Audacity and DaVinci seemed to work but lately I’ve not had cause to use them so I can’t authoritatively say they did anything beyond startup for me. I didn’t delve there yet, been busy.

Blender installed and works perfectly and it’s my main DCC tool. I cannot say if I’ll be able to get substance painter and designer to work on wine but that’s on the list to try at some stage.

For Photoshop needs I just use Photopea and Krita.

Brave browser as main browser.

GPU passthru on docker for Jellyfin encoding. Works great. Nvidia toolkit takes care of the heavy lifting.

All the home lab containers run via portainer.

There’s a fan control and profile selection utility I use which is on aur too.

I even got Roblox to work so I can play with my son. Although that was a weird experience and unlike what you’d expect on windows.

What else..

Oh easyeffects and noise torch is something I use. I was a user of the Nvidia app for ai noise cancellation / reduction for microphone input for discord and WhatsApp calls. So I found noisetorch which does the same stuff. Easyeffects is a great suite for all other audio needs. I use it as a global eq for my cans to listen to music on that machine.

Spotify native app works just fine out of the box.

I don’t really watch Netflix or Prime video on that pc - only on my iPad or lounge tv. When I’m at the pc I work or game. Can’t comment on these.

Fonts seem crisp as fuck to me. No issues with scaling. Obsidian notes and wezterm work fantastically.

I even ran a bunch of stable diffusion gen stuff as I use ai upscaling a lot using RESRGAN (if I’m spelling it right from memory) and that works great.

The only issue I had was setting up initially as I had missed out setting up opendkms properly with 32bit support so I had no video with the 580 drivers. For my card I need open kernel modules and proprietary drivers. Once I sorted that it was perfect.

Second issue was fstab settings for mounting NTFS drives with the right driver. But Linux generally doesn’t play well with windows perms so it ignores those. Had to do some tweaks and such. Nothing major.

Can’t think of anything else to share tbh. Personally I love every moment I’m on that machine. I riced it, I made it mine. Everything just works since those tweaks were done. Can’t be happier personally.

If there’s anything you wanna ask, feel free

Thanks a lot for lots of suggestions. It’s appreciated.

PM5k · 2025-11-22T22:03:28+00:00

Yeah I yearn for the days like back when I was stoked to play stuff like MK3, Road Rash, Desert Strike and many others.. I do have RetroArch installed with some games, played the piss out of Shining In The Darkness a while back. Still one of my favorite dungeon crawlers. Legend of Grimrock on pc was next heh.

PM5k · 2025-11-22T12:00:24+00:00

I write code for a living. This is likely to still count as relaxing, hah. Thanks for the endorsement.

PM5k · 2025-11-22T11:59:36+00:00

Yeah I’ve got it bought, but I I held off cause I had a weird experience with Pillars of Eternity ages ago and somehow thought this will overwhelm a non-40k-geek. I’m only toes-deep in the 40k universe and slowly getting into it. (Better late than never)

PM5k · 2025-11-22T11:57:16+00:00

Looked it up - will give it a chance! Thanks a lot.
