I’m slowly rewatching Cowboy Bebop (only have a couple of episodes left now) and I still love it. It’s my first rewatch after having watched it for the first time about 15+ years ago and even with all the other great animes releasing over the years, I think, it still stands up extremely well.
Yea, the deck is fine but so far I haven’t gotten the SSD to work anymore. When I put it into my PC it wouldn’t post and instead freeze on the bios screen. I’m now using my original 64GB eMMc storage that came with the deck, which is less than ideal but at least it works.
I updated a couple hours ago but when I tried to look for the new bios setting my deck didn’t boot up anymore. It seems my SSD was fried or something…I don’t know if the update had anything to do with it or if it was just a coincidence.
One of my cats can’t get enough of them, literally begs for them daily. For her it’s butt drumming > food.
The other one hates them.
Thank you for the great comment, that was super informative. I didn’t know Nordic Games became Embracer. That explains it a bit why I thought they came out of nowhere.
The whole Embracer situation is so weird to me. I hadn’t heard about them until the news broke that they were buying some of the Tolkien licenses and had already been buying a whole bunch of game studios. Cut to a couple months later and Embracer can’t get rid off all these studios fast enough apparently bleeding money left and right.
Where did they suddenly come from? Or was I just out of the loop on them?
Apparently he fell while he was out jogging.
Fucking nvidia. I’m currently still using an nvidia card (3070) but my next card is going to be an amd card again. In fact, just yesterday I finally built a gaming PC for my wife which got an amd RX 6800. Which is a great and performant card with a pretty good price.
At least for me, raytracing is pretty unappealing anyway. I’m not that much after high fidelity graphics and the performance hit is annoying. Which only leaves DLSS as a selling point and with how FSR (especially FSR 3.0) is shaping up the better quality of DLSS is just not worth supporting nvidias bullshit.
I’ve never seen it before until now, but you’re totally right. I’m going to start hating it too now.
I actually do most of my gaming on Linux. No problems thus far. I’ve only got Win11 on my PC to play VR.
While it’s already been talked about, for no. 4, does anyone know a good batch renamer I can use with Arch/Gnome?
On Windows I had BulkRenameUtility which was really good.
That does suck. As someone who isn’t impacted by this I even thought it was getting better but I guess what I was seeing was just superficial choices like the Body A/B stuff I was talking about earlier. I am privileged enough to be only ever impacted by wanting the beards to have a different color than the hair. Which is actually a thing in a lot of games nowadays. I can hardly imagine how it must feel for everyone else to want to play as someone they can at least identify with, when the options are so heavily skewed towards a certain demographic.
That sucks, that it is becoming harder for you. Maybe mods will help, when they inevitably come. Although you should obviously be able to get representation without mods.
If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to write me a PM or otherwise reach out. I might be able to help. As for your free disk space I think you’ll have a hard time making it all work with just 130GB of free disk space. Not because EndeavourOS can’t work with 130GB but because as soon as you set the partitions it’s extremely hard to change your partition size for Windows and Linux because of the way these partitions sit on your physicial drive.
Your 4tb drive should be less of an issue. I don’t have a lot of knowledge as to how Linux works with NTFS but as far as I know Linux is way better at working with Windows file systems as Windows is with working with Linux file systems.
I expected as much, although I’m absolutely fine with taking gender names out of body type choices. But as long as those gender types are binary and look exactly like typical male and female bodies there’s not much of an upside to having them be named A and B. As always there needs to be more customization to include everyone.
I see! Yea, I saw that too, that half elf is one if not the most picked race. There are also a lot of high elf characters in general in the game when it comes to NPCs. More than I would have thought. I suspect you’re right when it comes to warlocks. I have a Cleric in my party and I absolutely love their role in my party. I have a hard time switching them out for story events because of their usefulness so I think Cleric is a great choice.
Interesting. So what do you think about having body types be called Body A/B instead of male/female? Just pandering or does it help you identifying with your character more?
Got it! So how do you usually play RPG games with character choice? You said your first character was a half elf warlock and then you switched to a dragonborn cleric, what made you choose the half elf at first and what made you switch to the dragonborn?
And if you don’t mind me asking, have you ever encountered a game which had the perfect character creator to build a character that actually represents you?
That depends on your desktop manager. I am using GNOME and I’m using its custom shortcut feature as well. If you’re also using GNOME you can just go into Settings -> Keyboard -> View and Customise Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts to add keyboard shortcuts. I added Shift+Win+S to take screenshots with Flameshot for example. But you can add pretty much anything there.
File sharing from Linux to Windows is extremely easy. Samba (Linux implementation of smb) is very easy to implement. From what I remember you just have to install samba and then add new network shares in /etc/samba/smb.conf.
In terms of disk space you’ll have to put some thought into if you really want to dual boot. If disk space is sparse it’s going to be tough. EndeavourOS is pretty lightweight but if you want to daily drive it it’s still going to take up a considerable amount of space. The biggest problem with one disk drive is usually creating partitions. With Windows already installed your UEFI partition is likely too small to contain both Win and Linux boot data. And when you install Linux as a new partition on your existing drive you will simultaneously hamper your ability to change the existing partition sizes. I would advise to get a new (even if small) SSD for Linux to get around any partition related problems.
I know right? But nowadays people have washing machines, some even got dish washers, they’re able to visit a foreign country every year and suddenly our lives are not too bad. I mean they could be better, but you don’t want to be the type who complains about everything, do you? Nah, some people have it way worse than you, you’ve seen it on the internet and in documentations on the TV. You’re one of the privileged, from a privileged country, you’re not allowed to complain. We Europeans even have “free” healthcare and “unlimited” sick leave! Better keep quiet, else the rich will leave the country and we lose everything!
I’m so tired of this fucking shit.
A similar thing is happening to me as well. My calendar looks weird and some app folders have squished together app symbols.
