Killer7 is 75% off.

Ace Combat 7 is 85% off.

Dying Light (and The Following expansion) are 80% off.

CONTROL is 75% off.

All the Deus Ex games are >80% off, really can't go wrong here.

Pillars of Eternity I and II are 75% off.

Lots of great deals on high-profile games this sale, and I highly recommend everything on this list.

The article actually addresses this, but I feel "indie games bubble" is simply too broad a term. Is there a medium-high budget indie game bubble? Maybe. But can indie games in general even have a bubble? Fuckloads of indie games are passion projects, or made from crowdfunding money, or otherwise not based around the idea that they have to be the "product" of a sustainable business, making the whole idea of a "bubble" pointless. If the bubble pops, will itch indies stop making games? Will passionate solo devs languishing at double digit Steam review numbers stop releasing games? I don't think they will.

It's been done quite a bit throughout Eastern Europe. Here are some examples from Poland:

Certainly a nicer colour scheme than dirty soul-crushing grey.

I feel like I've heard this "it's different this time guys, we swear" spiel about every Ubisoft game in the past five years. Hard to believe or care at this point.

true, but you'll be able to tell people you use nix

He didn't. He did respond to it though: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/incorrect-quotation.en.html

JC's story was finished, Jensen's wasn't.

I don't really get the obsession with backlogs. Are you actually enjoying the games at that point? Are you playing this game because you want to play it, or because it's on your backlog and you want to be able to check it off the list and move on to the next thing - presumably, since your backlog is so big it warrants a guide - as quickly as possible? Just pick out a game you want to play and play it. Why spoil your own fun?

Eh, to be honest, manpages aren't particularly good as either documentation or quick references (hence the popularity of tldr), and info is intended primarily for the sort of long-form, comprehensive documentation that would be awkward to fit in a manpage. Also, texinfo documents can easily be exported to HTML, so one format can be used for both online and offline docs. It's an admirable effort, if nothing else.

The instructions on that page make it so that every time you run a system update, mullvad automatically updates as well. If you're happy doing the updating yourself, you can download the deb file from here: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/releases

I don't know about Mac, but on Windows the Mullvad app doesn't auto update. If you want to do it Windows style you can look for deb files (which are like installers) or AppImages (which are like standalone executables).

Most pieces of software give terminal instructions for Linux because different people might use different package manager frontends, but literally every Linux user has a terminal. It might seem daunting at first, but giving users commands to run in their terminal is a lot more simple than trying to walk them through repo management through the GUI, or just telling them to figure it out themselves.

The AUR still has a lot of niche software that hasn't been Flatpakked, but yeah. Flatpaks are way more convenient, especially for large software where AUR compilation can take a long time.

A person said they're looking for a podcast that's not right wing, you told them that what they want is bad, and then you were surprised to see people react negatively? I'm not going to trawl through your comments to find the exchange, but based on your own description it's pretty clear why they felt antagonised...

Firefox has my very favourite vertical tab system of any browser in the Tree Style Tab addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/

I'm not too sure how to simplify jumping between profiles though. I haven't used it so I can't vouch for it, but maybe the Profile Switcher addon would work for you? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/profile-switcher/

What! You can't say that!

Unfortunate date to publish a proposal on...

I agree that video game narratives are, on average, way worse than in other media, but... This post is like a script for a CinemaSins video on an entire medium. There's a conversation to be had about the quality and originality of storytelling in video games and why gamers are so quick to praise mediocre narratives, but I dunno if glib one-paragraph summaries of "types" of video game stories (with no examples!) do much to advance that conversation.

The original developers were forced out of the studio, allegedly through fraudulent means, but I'm not sure whether they lost royalties from sales as well. I can't find anything confirming one way or the other, unfortunately.

Gmod and SFM shitposts have been around for years. This really isn't any different.

Might be a bit too heavyweight for your tablet, but both GNOME and KDE have tablet/touch modes which activate automatically if they detect touch input but no mouse. If auto detect doesn't work you can turn it on manually in Settings -> Workspace Behaviour -> General Behaviour -> Touch Mode in KDE. Not sure about GNOME.

I suppose I'd prefer if short games weren't overly expensive, but I never liked the hours per dollar thing. I don't like replaying games. I'd rather buy six two-hour indie games for ten dollars each and have each one be at least somewhat unique and engaging, than spend 60 on a sprawling hundred hour AAA game filled mostly with repetition and busywork. Life's too short for that, you know?

Weak/no auto aim? Depends on the game you're playing, but I imagine CSGO doesn't have any. Maybe you could find a different shooter that accommodates joystick use?

This might sound weird, but are you actually engaged with what you're playing? Maybe you need to find some higher intensity games to keep your attention.

Tree Style Tabs forever, baby! Simple vertical tab bars can't even hope to compete.

Hot take, but I actually love well implemented radial menus on PC. When games bother to reset your cursor to the centre of the circle you can just quickly flick the mouse in a certain direction to make your selection, which is faster than most other mouse menus and a lot more comfortable than trying to reach for the 9 key.

man is standard Unix manual pages, while info is a documentation format introduced/popularised by GNU. info pages usually have a lot more information (sometimes including tutorials, guided examples, links to different pages and sections, etc (depending on the project maintainer obviously)) but man pages are the standard and basically everything has one. If you run info [program] for something without a dedicated info page, it will show the man page instead.

I've heard TLOU called many things, but shovelware is a new one.

Out of interest, what platformers are you referencing here? I can't think of any that are that punishing.

Seconding vim as the universal Unix/Linux editor. It takes a while to become a real vim pro, but learning basic usage is very helpful. Escape to switch to normal mode (where letters trigger functions instead of just typing), i to switch to input mode, : in normal mode to enter commands, :wq to save and quit, :q! to exit without saving - that alone should be enough to cover a lot of basic use cases. If you ever want to learn more, there are plenty of tutorials online.

It's quite common with Phoronix. Larabel's running a committed and consistent open source news aggregator, but his English isn't the best.

It depends which specific product you get, but a lot of it is just generically meatesque protein. I find their sausage rolls are indistinguishable from similarly priced pork sausage rolls, but the mince is more of a substitute than an imitation. It doesn't have the same texture, so you can easily tell it's not meat. I quite like using it for stuff like chilli con carne tho

Why does this quiz have so many fuckin distributions? If a newbie is looking for a distro to install, why would you ever recommend anything more niche than Ubuntu/Mint, or Endeavour if they're interested in bleeding edge? I answered the questions as though I was new to Linux and got a massive list of every Ubuntu and Fedora derivative, with Manjaro sprinkled in for good measure.

Same publisher (New Blood), but not the same devs. Dusk is by David Szymanski, Ultrakill is by Hakita.

tmux (and GNU screen, its older predecessor) is a terminal multiplexer, which is a fancy phrase used to describe turning one terminal window into multiple terminal windows. It basically turns a single terminal window into a text-based tiling window manager that lets you run different shells concurrently in a single terminal, easily copy text between them, and have other quality of life improvements over using a single raw terminal.

Imagine you're SSH'd into a remote machine. Unless you SSH again from a different terminal at the same time, you're basically limited to a single terminal, and whatever you're doing is interrupted if your connection drops. tmux runs on the remote machine, which means that if your connection is interrupted, tmux will continue running exactly as you left it, and you'll be able to reattach to it using tmux attach.

Or, imagine your video drivers break and you're forced to troubleshoot in a raw TTY. tmux will let you have a manpage and a shell open at the same time, or three different directories opened side by side. That's a slightly more convoluted use case, but the point is that terminal multiplexers make it far more convenient to use the terminal in basically any situation that's not just running a single short command and leaving.

it becomes kinda usable with evil mode
