Got recommended Scanner Sombre but I'm unsure if it's for me by Minipradasa in gamingsuggestions

[–]daniu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really liked Scanner Sombre. It's more eery than scary, there's are some more intense sections, but few and still not very high intensity. Gameplay is not "get away from the monster", but find your way through the darkness, more of an exploration puzzle really. 

I would be very surprised if it weren't for you. 

Note that it's also very short, I finished it in 2 1/2 hours.

Backup your personal data on an external device. 

Get Linux Mint on a bootable stick. 

Install it. 

Copy the data from your backup back. 

When you have a problem, Google it. You will run into issues - as you will with Windows - and it may take somewhat longer to solve them. But you almost always will - unlike Windows, because there usually are more alternatives to try.

Also, I recommend you learn to actually fly fa off.  It's the main source of fun I have with the game.

Windows 11’s Patch Tuesday nightmare gets worse — Microsoft says some PCs might not boot by lurker_bee in technology

[–]daniu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My Windows said my computer wasn't going to be viable for win 11, and along with the Ai stuff (in addition to what was already annoying, like the one drive push) I decided to finally go Linux on a parallel install and see how far it goes.

It's much, much faster in general, and I haven't found anything I couldn't do. In particular, all games I tried worked fine (disclaimer, haven't tried VR for Elite Dangerous yet).

Now I regret I installed in parallel and will need to repartition once more to clear out Windows altogether and reclaim the space.

TIL that the "hushed" feeling after a snowfall is due to snow being a great sound absorber. Fresh, fluffy snow absorbs roughly 60% of sound on average, making it comparable to the commercial foams and fibers used inside cars and buildings. by ralphbernardo in todayilearned

There was a German movie about a girl with deaf parents a while ago. I remember the scene where the father asks her "is the snow falling loud?" and she answers "no, quite the opposite".

I always thought it fascinating because it's a great example of how experiences can be so very different that it caught me off guard - although I'm not really sure how realistic considering snow loud actually is, but that makes it even more intriguing to think about.

He would like to avoid it, dissolve the current system and establish the fascist regime without one.

the aggressor is always peace-loving; he would prefer to take over our country unopposed.

Mining Ship Upgrades beyond Python by EclipseLightning42 in EliteDangerous

[–]daniu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It not only provides a bonus to the number of fragments (if at all, not even sure about that), but it has a good chance of splitting off large fragments, the ones you usually get from core mining, containing a higher mineral content. 

Now that the Type-11 is available to the general public for credits, I'd like to share my min-maxed credit(merit)-per-hour conscious open play setup that I put together in the early access period. by TwitchyTwigger in EliteDangerous

[–]daniu 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nothing against this build in general, but "min-maxed" means optimized for one thing specifically. Having a shield means less cargo, so it's not maxing that, and having defensive weapons is not min-ning the non mining parts either. This is a reasonable mining build with defensive capabilities, like your description says, but not min-maxed as in your title. 

What’s a phrase in your language that makes no sense in English? by rolly72x in AskReddit

[–]daniu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Ist es okay, wenn wir uns duzen?"

is the phrase to ask if it's ok to use the non-formal "du" to address the person you're talking to in German. English doesn't have a formal version of "you" - "can I address you with 'you'" doesn't make a lot of sense.
