I was kidding. 😁 There’s nothing real time about C&C with space probes. And the ISS is close enough I doubt it’s an issue.

How am I feeling? I owned two Xboxes, 3 360s, and two Ones. In the 360 days I was addicted to achievement hunting. Then they made the interface suck with the One and broke that addiction. But it still had some cool games.

Now I have a Series X that I never turn on. So I guess that’s how I’m feeling.

Nothing to forgive, I love hearing about cool stuff people did with their Amigas! Thanks for sharing.

Audio on the Amiga was way ahead of its time. I had a device for my A500 that you could plug in an RCA cable and sample audio. I plugged my VCR into it and recorded all the best lines from Aliens and some other movies and shared them with my friends. Game over man, game over!

And I like to fire up my Amiga emulator and play some of my old mods once in a while. They still sound good.

I use Cloudflare as my registrar and public DNS. And only for that. Sorry but they don’t get to peek at my network traffic.

Indeed. I haven’t run into a modern game that it can’t handle. The only thing it has struggled with that I play is old Command & Conquer titles, but that’s a Proton issue.

I can’t imagine a different distro would be any different.

BZZZZZZZZZZZT I’m sorry but that answer was not correct. Next player!

Seriously try some of the other distros and you’ll have a much more pleasant experience. I already recommended Tumbleweed in another reply but man, anything but Arch is gonna be an improvement for somebody trying to make the switch from Windows gaming for the first time.

I switched my gaming PC to Linux a few months back. I distro hopped for a while due to various issues, and landed on openSUSE Tumbleweed. Everything just works (except for the occasional bug in the updates where I have to wait for the next snapshot for a fix, but that’s NBD).

Caveat: I’m all AMD so no Nvidia stuff to worry about. YMMV.

I threw enough of those away at my first sysadmin job. I never want to see another one! lol

On-premises. Please, for the love of god.

Friends don’t let friends play Rocket League.

Well, ranked, anyway. Only game in 40+ years of gaming that I threw a controller over. Even Ninja Gaiden on NES couldn’t do that to me. lol

That’s what I did. And after going to all the trouble, I’ve booted into Windows 11 twice in 3 months.

The post reads like a conspiracy theory nut wrote it.

What really happened? He had a manic episode, took off his clothes, and climbed inside a running turbine engine. The end.

Record high talent retention. lol

I’ve been scuba diving for almost 2 decades and it really pisses me off seeing divers do this stuff. If you touch coral you kill it wherever you touched it, period. If you touch a whale shark you rub off a mucous covering that protects it from infection. If you touch an eel you can easily lose a finger because their vision is garbage and they don’t know what you are. There are tons of examples like this, without even going into the stuff that if you touch it it is going to HURT YOU. It’s just a bad idea to touch anything in the ocean that’s alive. And these videos encourage new divers that don’t know any better.

I also liked Rogue One. At least it wasn’t straight up stupid. Andor was amazing. Mandalorian had a promising start then caved to cuteness.

Everything else since Disney bought Star Wars has been forgettable.

Do not do this. Leave marine life alone while diving. Look, don’t touch. Touching some marine life can literally kill them. This video sets a terrible example.

It’s fun and I enjoyed my time with it, but once you understand how the zombie waves work it’s very, very easy to build a cheez defense against them, and then there’s no difficulty anymore.

As long as you don’t look up guides on how to build the cheese bases you’ll enjoy yourself.
