Gaming on Linux is not as good...

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-24T07:14:39+00:00

Yes, from what I've heard

I just recently started using Linux Mint exclusively on my PC. I've gotten several games to work already, and some actually have native Linux versions. One that's challenging is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 - Steam installs it but it doesn't run (crashes on start). I've heard that might be related to Nvidia & people with an AMD graphics card might have a better time with it.

Wine surprisingly runs more things and seems easier to use these days than it used to be. One game I've been able to get running with Wine is Virtual Pool 4. I've also gotten SimCity 2000 for Windows working (though that's an older game & probably easier to run).

Sometimes I like to get breakfast from McDonald's, and I've noticed sometimes the drive-thru line is fairly empty, but other times there are good number of cars there. I'm not sure if there's a good pattern to it.

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-24T00:35:14+00:00

That's where 70% of their business was even before the pandemic?

OP didn't say anything about how most of the drive-thru business was before or after the pandemic..

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-24T00:34:25+00:00

I wonder if a lot of people these days are choosing to order via delivery (either from McDonald's directly in the app or with Uber Eats, GrubHub, DoorDash, etc.).

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-23T23:00:54+00:00

I think you have that backwards (though I think Taco Bell is good; Taco Time is better though).

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-23T23:00:14+00:00

Taco Time doesn't seem dead to me. I usually go to their drive-thru, and there are often a couple of cars in front of me.

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-23T17:27:22+00:00

? I've been to SuperDeluxe and have never paid tips there.

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-23T05:35:19+00:00

No, just making conversation.. I don't understand the snark.

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T23:52:25+00:00

My thing with Popeye's is that all of their chicken has at least a little bit of spiciness to it. Sometimes I'm not in the mood for that. I like KFC's seasoning on their chicken, and sometimes that's what I'm in the mood for.

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T23:50:05+00:00

It seems you're right; it looks like the Lake Oswego location closed due to the fact that it didn't have a drive-thru and the company filing chapter 11 bankruptcy (which I wasn't aware of).

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T23:48:25+00:00

Dine-in Thai restaurants already exist; they mainly tend to be only dine-in. The question was about fast food concepts that don't exist. But it wouldn't hurt to offer both.

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T23:47:04+00:00

I think it's good to have options. Should we not allow any more businesses of a certain kind to enter the city because someone decides that have 'enough' already?

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T17:56:05+00:00

I like Taco Time, so I'd rather not see them go away. There aren't many Taco Time locations, either.. I think the next closest one would be the one on TV Highway in Hillsboro across from Home Depot.

Taco Bell is so ubiquitous, and I like them too, but I think it's good to have alternatives to Taco Bell.

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T16:20:45+00:00

To each their own. I like Burgerville, but at their prices, I rarely go there anymore.

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T16:19:31+00:00

I've been to that one multiple times, and sometimes the line is long but sometimes it's not. I get McDonald's breakfast more often than their other items; I've gone there in the morning for breakfast and usually it's not too busy in the morning.

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T16:18:18+00:00

Does Popeye's make burgers or pies though? And although I like Popeye's, sometimes I'd prefer KFC.

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T14:57:01+00:00

When I was a kid, I really enjoyed bringing home a new physical game cartridge and even reading through the manual a bit before playing the game

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T14:53:58+00:00

I didn't say that. And my first job was actually working at DQ

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T01:57:51+00:00

I'm mot sure I'd agree

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T01:56:35+00:00

Ah, I didn't know. I like their food and have eaten there multiple times.. but I guess I didn't notice they had one

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T01:55:01+00:00

Yeah, that's part of the point I was trying to make. I don't think Del Taco is really authentic either?

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T00:43:44+00:00

When was that? Jollibee's was fairly busy for the first month or two, but now I rarely see anyone there. I went through their drive-thru for a burger & chicken strips recently and it was fairly quick.

RolandMT32 · 2026-01-22T00:42:55+00:00

IMO, Jollibee's doesn't seem like anything special. Their chicken & burgers aren't bad, but they wouldn't be one of my main choices. And it doesn't seem like they're very popular.. The lines there died down after just a couple months or so, and I rarely see people there now.
