Ah, Dark Souls 2. That one is a little… different.

It’s not a bad video game, but is probably the worst souls game.

I usually leave mine on game mode for day-to-day stuff because the mouse latency is unbearable otherwise. However when watching a movie or TV show, I’ll swap it back over to cinema mode to smooth out frames and reduce artifacting.

As a fellow TV-as-a-monitor enthusiast, it might be your display. Most TVs do a lot of frame processing to give you smoother playback at the cost of latency, making games feel sluggish. My TV has a “Gaming” preset that actually turns off some of that processing, allowing for 60hz refresh rate and minimal latency. Might be worth checking your TV for a setting like that.

what if we showed each other our humanity in the streets of the ringed city? 👉👈

Just started reading the Rust book. Made it through Chapter 3 and finished the suggested Fahrenheit/Celsius converter. Been trying to figure out the next suggestion, finding the nth number in the Fibonacci sequence.

Disney has made and destroyed many pop stars. Miley Cyrus explained in an interview that she had to act as crazy as possible for Disney to stop forcing her to tour as Hannah Montana.

Do they still slow you to a snail’s pace as soon as you progress to a new area? It felt so scummy losing my flying and mount speed as soon as I hit an expansion in a subscription based MMO. “Let’s slow that roll there gamer, can’t have you beating that content too fast. Why not buy a few more months play time?”

Just as a general piece of advice, the --help flag will usually list out flags that can be used with a command.

Also the tldr package is available for a lot of distros. Might be worth seeing if yours has it. It’s like --help but a little more human readable.

I’d buy it on Blu-ray tomorrow if I could. They won’t shut up and take my money…

You see, the joke is that “dual boot” means you have two drives/partitions you boot from.

“Duel boot” would imply your boot drives will take 10 paces apart from one another, turn, and shoot each other, one dying and the other emerging victorious.

Oof, sorry I tried to have fun on your science board.

Who’s that Pokemon?!

It’s…

Goldeen! Wait… Goldene?

Solid domain, hope this works out. Even better if you have a list of maintained forks as alternatives.

Not who you asked but, Ubuntu is basically Linux from a corporation. They are forcing people to install ‘snaps’ instead of your typical .deb package. They are like flatpaks but way worse.

They have a database of packages on their site. This page also popped up with info on how packages are moderated and stuff too.

As a former Windows user, Chocolatey is a great way to get used to a package manager through Windows. I used it to install stuff like hwinfo or wiztree.

Everybody kept insulting his OS stack for bloat so… he uninstalled. Some say he still lurks on the boards from mobile, posting incoherently about “LFS” and “His own distro with blackjack and hookers.” Others say he’s still there compiling, waiting for the day he can open a browser.
