  • To me every nook and cranny just looks bland with nothing to do there. Everywhere just had the same sidewalks and railings. There’s no way i could ever navigate that game without waypoints.

    And with the acting the emphasis she puts on certain words in a sentence just don’t match the situation and the others she’s talking to, and it feels like she swaps between extreme emotions on the same dialogue and it’s like tonal whiplash to me. There was no nuance to lay in between, and nothing to unpack for the listener. You know when she’s angry because she has her 110% angry voice on and so on.

    Unless the situation is heightened and dire, it just never fit in my opinion. Her performance fits a stage play more than what’s meant to be an immersive video game in my opinion.

    Jackie’s and Keanu’s voice acting though was stellar.








  • I ultimately don’t think he’s a bad guy so I’m rooting for him to show us wrong.

    I think he always just believed in his vision too much and didn’t realise that he and his team couldn’t end up delivering on it. And then he’d be so excited about what he’s working on that he just couldn’t not share it with others. I don’t think he ever intended to mislead.

    I know there’s the milo thing but with that I feel like he still thought they could do it in the end but Microsoft just needed something right there and then to show. I think that issue ends up more squarely on whoever sold him on what the hardware could do and he had not yet fully hit those walls of limitations enough to realise they weren’t coming down at all. (I also think this goes for Sean Murray too when he did the talk show circuit that Sony put him on - although without the hardware stuff and more on whether or not they could deliver on time since they’ve shown what they wanted was actually possible with future updates)







  • A lot of my recent experiences have been with arch and because it’s always up to date and AUR being as expensive as it is, I always seen to find an easy way to install something, even third party stuff. I’ve never hit any of the issues people have with saying an update can break your system yet, but then again I only install what I need and always uninstall stuff that I either installed accidentally or no longer need.

    I tried fedora with nobara for a bit because I liked bazzite, but it wasn’t for me. I got too used to what’s available to me via arch or at least being used to know where to look for that stuff on arch vs fedora


  • Like I said, I play quite a bit of multiplayer games that work fine. Just not the shitty live service with awful kernel level anti cheat ones which you would never have caught me playing even back on windows.

    The only notable games I know that don’t work are valorant and league because of their anti cheat, but i would never want to play them anyway. I’ve played marvel rivals on bazzite though, perfect experience, ended up running better on the same hardware than it did on windows.

    I also feel like I have to fight against windows now more then ever. I currently still have to use it for work and it can be a nightmare at times. On Linux if something is wrong I can almost always find a way to fix it. Most of the time you’re shit out of luck on windows 11.




  • Bigwig studio is a great ableton replacement that is Linux native too. Made by some of the original team from ableton too iirc.

    Theres also Reaper if you want something closer to FL studio.

    I’m not into CAD stuff at the moment but I’m pretty sure there are some really good open source ones out there at the moment that are Linux native also.

    I’ve not had any issues with any games on bazzite or cachyos either. Although I don’t play AAA multiplayer games with the shitty anti cheats, which i think are the only ones that don’t work now. Master Chief collection is about as close to that as I go but that works completely fine.

    Keep in mind with bazzite and cachyos i also didn’t need to do any tinkering to get the games to work. They just do.
