Whenever I load up the game all of it feels repetitive as i have replayed it multiple times. I want some mods (bug fixes, performance [1050ti] rig, qol, quest, etc) that would make it replayable. Any way it can be the same game but a new experience? (Any alternative game recommendations are most welcome).
There’s a slew of mods you can install to really change stuff, but I think the best starting point would be an alternate start mod. There’s two approaches to these, a short questionnaire that is part of character creation which gives your character a bit of background and spawns you in a corresponding location. To start the main quest you simply visit Helgan at any time.
The other approach is basically just random starting locations. This is often used for higher difficulty mods packs aimed for a rouge like experience.
Aren’t EVs mostly a thing to save the car industry, and not really in the end all that good for the environment? Between the ethics of the supply chains, to the actual environmental impact of material extraction, the benefits really only matter if all car owners swapped right away, and even then only begin to go carbon positive over a long time. While I realize not everywhere has transit available, where it is a way more positive environmental impact can be had from people just ditching cars outright. Though here in the states this quickly runs into problems with urban planning literally being intentionally bad to force people to own cars to keep the car industry alive.
I also don’t really know a ton about the car industry because I avoid them at all costs, so I’m happy to be educated. Almost of of my knowledge is from urbanism perspectives…
I didn’t know about this. Does WebHID work? I having to install chrome or edge or something just to use a web based keyboard configuration and flash tool.
Please tell me there’s a secret 5th option? I’ve got 2 months and these all seem way too centrist-core for my taste…though I do have a lot of radical books to catch up on…and also a lot of girls to kiss. Can I be in a reading era while sitting in a cute cafe drinking matcha and planning the revolution on napkins with my lesbian polycule?
Been running Niri on my Nix install for a while. Really loving it, though I feel like I’m still discovering new features every day. Still haven’t come across a way to do a special/floating workspace. I know you can float windows, but I’m talking about a whole workspace that toggles as an overlay of whatever your current one is. We’re also rocking mostly the same applications. Only difference is I’m using Ironbar for funsies, but might go back to waybar for an easier time stealing from someone else’s dot files.
Someone else just suggested river to me recently. I’ll have to check it out. I also thought I’d hate Niri on vertical monitors, but I’ve gotten used to it. I assume there’s a way I could make it default to splitting the column horizontally once before expanding sideways when opening a new window, but that’s really the only big slow down for me.
Niri had been on my radar and then I somewhat abruptly wanted to ditch Hyprland and also took the opportunity to distro hop from Arch to NixOS. While I don’t think I miss Hyprland there are just a couple small things I’d love to get functioning with Niri. The things I like about Niri outweigh those by a lot though.
Yeah, I do feel you about Niri being “bigger” than other options and thus leaves the whole Unix philosophy a bit. Though I can’t say I’m mad about it coming with screenshots built in because I struggled getting screenshots working for my entire stay on Arch. I didn’t try super hard, just had other fish to fry, but it was a nice out of box experience and functions a lot like the screenshot utility I used while on windows and feels a lot like the screenshot system on OSX from when I was there on school laptops in my teens.
I can also totally understand the getting lost part. Though over time that issue has gone away for me because I keep specific windows in specific workspaces and those workspaces in specific spots relative to each other. Though this is why River sounds interesting. Being able to set a tag for a workspace and then assign windows to it seems like a very natural way to match the organization of my windows in my mind.
Ohhhhhhh. That scratched something in my brain. The viewing multiple tags. That’s on the fly special workspaces. Or maybe dynamic would be the better word. Like any tag can become that floating workspace. Presumably you could script context awareness into that too…Okay okay. I will be giving River a try. I’m in the throes of refactoring my nix config, but once I’ve got something stable again I’ll make sure to break it by installing River!
Same. Including the edit. I’m 1.96 m and have finally started to not let my height get to me. I have bad days now and then, but I can tell overall it’s getting better because my posture is slowly improving due to actually standing all the way up.
I have a Logitech headset I keep as my backup if some other audio things go wrong. It works fine, and I think there is a GUI application for the settings if I really need. My primary audio input/output system right now is an audio technica mic connected to a Focusrite Scarlett duo with both speakers and in ear monitors as output options. There’s a GitHub project to give you a GUI for full access to the audio interfaces full settings.
There was a period of time where the Impossible Whopper was guilty pleasure of mine. Then I got more serious about sticking to my BDS goals so had to cut out BK.
When I can't sleep, I turn around and sleep "upside down" - moving my pillows to where my feet were beforehand, and my feet to where my head was beforehand - and I stick with that for a week or so. It gives me a week or so without insomnia and then wears off, so I have to turn myself back around for the next 7-12 day period. ...
Short version: yes, 100% and I kind of already have…
I am (somewhat unhappily) living in a suburb, but I have transit stops for multiple lines within a 5 minute walk, and a bunch more options if I’m willing to walk 10-15 minutes. I was paying something like $500/month (lease, gas, insurance) for my car before being hit by a semi and not replacing it. That was 2-ish years ago and I haven’t really looked back.
Now I pay about $100/month for basically unlimited transit use. My commute time tripled, but in theory got slightly more consistent because car traffic could get bad on the route to work. The transit system here is far from perfect, so sometimes I’m still late, but I’m lucky enough to have a fairly flexible start time. I’ve got 3 roommates with 2.5 cars between the 4 of us (one borrows a car from family periodically). I’d love to be a 1 car household, but two of the roommates “can’t give up their independence”, which I kind of shake my head at. One works further out of the city fully in a rural area, so I suppose it is kind of necessary for them to have a car, and then still having one car at home available for the rest of us works out fairly well.
I actually quite like the longer commute. It gives me time to read, or just listen to music, browse the internet, nap, whatever. Plus I’ve discovered a ton of small, local businesses I now love!
Bit of both. They’re my best friends, and the way the rent works out it was a cost improvement for all of us. I won’t get into the whole story. We are all mid to late 20s (I’m about to turn 30 😅) and all very far from being able to afford homes of our own. Though even if we did I think it would still be together. None of us want to have kids, so we operate as a family unit with two cats making up for the chaos of not having kids running about.

It’s not a photoshop, you too can make the genie guess it’s the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk. The questions leading to the guess were interesting and it felt like there was a bit of a logical leap at the end, but it did in fact guess that, and it does in fact say “we are Charlie Kirk” which is very interesting.
Update: after some 70 questions it could not guess “Alex Pretti’s handgun”, best it could do was generic types of guns. It also ends up repeating questions eventually, which is interesting.
I didn’t love the idea of the Proton basket for all my eggs. Besides I already self host alternatives to the whole g-suite, so I didn’t have the need for a drop in replacement. So I went with Fastmail. I am a huge fan of the alias and masked email options, and beyond those it works as expected for an email service. The mobile apps are decent, and I was able to get them on a de-googled android device. No complaints.
I have an old pc on which I run jellyfin and some other stuff. It's only connected through lan. I used to use window's remotedesktop to connect to it, but that stopped working. ...
Something something something China bad. It’s a bit overblown, but there was some drama about the dev earlier in its lifespan. I think something to do with not all of its code being open source? Like the official servers were running a closed version or something. I’m definitely butchering the information. It’s good software and works as intended.
I personally use Sunshine and Moonlight, but not because I have any particular problem with RustDesk, just couldn’t get it working well, and Sunshine also works for in house game streaming if I want.
Isn’t the issue the exploitation of sex workers, mostly women? Like if you’ve found ethical porn, by all means wack your shit to it. I just think the things people are able to explore with writing, or hell even animation if the artists aren’t exploited, are much more varied and interesting without exploiting actors. Like I’ve found a few queer porn projects that are like owned by the actors and stuff. Basically porn coops, which is fucking awesome.
I wouldn’t call it perverted because I think that word has been stigmatized and weaponized to shame people, but I do in fact shop for video games based on which studios seem to treat their workers the fairest.
Okay sure, there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. So yeah, feel shame for consuming all media, ethical or not. /s
Is that the broad statement you want me to say to avoid being picked apart because it’s “technically correct” which is the only type of correct I need to be to “win” this would be discussion turned argument?
Killer “gotcha” moment bud 🤣
If someone buys a game they know exploits workers, or is destroying the world by participating in the AI bubble, and feels shame for doing it, that’s between them and their conscience. Shame is an incredible motivator, particularly for social and political issues. There’s a reason it gets shouted at protests and at political figures. All I said was shaming people for being interested in sexually explicit content is bad. I did not say all shame is bad.
I could go on, but OH! Would you look at that. It’s block o’clock! Lovely chatting with you while it lasted.
The imperial boomerang is proving this an impossible balance to find. Welcome to the imperial core, where all the mil-tech testing we’ve done on the rest of the world is finally being turned around and pointed at citizens.
My latest project is a NixOS based NAS, with the goal being to make something super reproducible I can help friends setup for themselves to build out a decentralized backup/media/adblock/fileshare/communication tool for me and my loved ones.
I understand the concept and use case of flakes and home manager but every time I have attempted to install these, down to just fully copying provided configs, something doesn’t work, and then uninstalling them is a bit of a nightmare. I’ve yet to find a truly accessible NixOS tutorial as someone coming from an Arch from scratch install and tinkering with some 6 other Linux based operating systems.
I’d love for either a fully flake free setup, that is just simple “default style” config files, OR an actually useful tutorial that discusses the generic process of installing these in a way that I can actually understand, because I clearly lack some important piece of knowledge to make it work as intended. So many pieces of software I’m interested in simply say “install the XYZ flake and you’re good to go”. People make Nix seem so simple (and when it works it feels that way) but there’s some disconnect between the author of every tutorial I’ve followed and me as a relatively new to Nix end user.
My partner expressed an interest in finding a game for both of us to play. She doesn't play many games, and I generally prefer single player games so I find myself at a loss for what's out there that we might like. Hoping the community here can help! ...
I’ve posted about this somewhere else too, maybe a different account idk.
But for games to play with people that aren’t really “gamers” I actually prefer single player games with light amounts of fast paced action or none at all. The “coop” comes from taking turns with the controller.
This works well with puzzle or logic games with generous reaction time requirements (again, or none at all), as well as story based games with light action. A lot of these games also come with natural pauses in the story that provide opportunities to either swap who is driving or put the game down for the day.
I’ve had a lot of success playing through many of these titles with partners. I’m sorting these roughly by category and then how strongly I recommend them. Some of these games I haven’t actually played yet, but I know them to fit the overall vibe.
Puzzle/Logic - no reaction time required
Chants of Sennaar (HIGHLY recommend, requires decent notes and map making, so the person not using the controller still has a job)
Strange Horticulture (HIGHLY recommend, also requires some light note taking to make life easier)
Strange Antiquities (sequel to above, have not played yet, high expectations)
Return of the Obra Din (have not played yet, high expectations)
The Case of the Golden Idol + DLCs (STRONGLY recommend, got a bit burnt out by the end, but very fun, also light note taking)
The Rise of the Golden Idol (sequel to above, have not played yet, moderate to high expectations)
Baba is You (HIGHLY recommend, nice learning curve but becomes brutally difficult towards the end of the game)
Myst (HUGE game, very good, but daunting and little to no hand holding, detailed notes required)
Kind of a category within a category, haven’t played these, but they’ve been referred to as 1.5 player games.
Spiritfarer
Chicory
Child of Light
Puzzle/Logic - aim and reaction time needed
Portal 1
Portal 2 (and its coop if you have 2 devices)
Portal Reloaded (community mod adding a portal through time with some seriously mind bending puzzles)
Portal Revolutions (another mod, haven’t played yet but looks fun)
Viewfinder (HIGHLY recommend, spiritual successor to Portal IMO and a very, very good game)
Superliminal (HIGHLY recommend, a “Portal-like” that uses perspective as the core mechanic)
Story Based - some action sequences requiring aim and reaction time and some puzzling
Stray (just a cute good time with some spooky, heart rate spiking moments where you really don’t want your kitty to get hurt)
Alien Isolation (if you’re horror movie people at all this is like an interactive movie)
Shadows of a Doubt (might be a miss for a lot of people, immersive detective sim)
Firewatch (played this a long time ago, might not hold up)
Dredge (spooky but cute fishing sim with good story)
Summertime Madness (not much reaction time needed, but still some aim or speed based puzzles)
All of these that I’ve played were on either Arch (custom), Arch (Garuda), or NixOS based systems under Proton. Two of those systems were installed from scratch and they performed flawlessly, so if you’re on a system that handles all the audio and video driver installation for you things should be very smooth. The Garuda machine is a laptop from 2016 that is plugged into my TV and actually saw the most play time for these titles. It held up perfectly. The other two systems were back to back installs on my fairly beefy desktop, but installation and running the games was smooth after the initial effort to get the systems fully functional with drivers and controller support.
I’ve recently gotten into putting together sort of silly “party” mod packs for my friend group. Things that are meant to be played as a “one shot” with everyone online. Things like full loot randomizers, or shared health and inventory. Just silly and chaotic mods to shift the focus from exploration and sandbox-y things, to “let’s try to beat the ender dragon under very adverse conditions”. So far I’ve only gotten one friend to bite, but we’ve been doing one run a night for the last week or so. Takes between 20 to 60 minutes, maybe more if we really get into it.
Could also look into mods/modpacks that add quest books. That helps take the edge off the “open world, figure it out” paralysis and give some concrete things to work towards.
I tried to get my friend group into this and most of them bounced off. I tried to convince the “hardcore gamers” of the group that by the looks of it things get quite hard in the late game. Bummed I never really got to experience it to that point.
Maybe check out VintageStory or Elsewhere? I also wanted to pivot from Minecraft, due to both burnout and Microslop. Both games are based on relatively famous Minecraft mods/modpacks and recapture some of the nostalgia while also being a new experience. I’d probably recommend VintageStory a bit over Elsewhere, but that is mostly due to my particular playstyle and aesthetic interests.

Unfortunately can’t help with Ableton specifically, but I’ve been using Ardour for some audio tinkering and from what I can tell it’s free and pretty full featured…
Some mild hallucinations at the end. Mostly like tunnel vision though, not so much actual fully imagined visuals. It helped I genuinely liked the project and felt motivated to do a good job with it. I’m not a smoker, but I was kind of just operating cigarette to cigarette for those 4 days. Well that, weed and caffeine. There was a couple of us all working on our projects at the same time, so we all helped keep each other stay awake and getting stuff done.
