    His honest reply about the state of Linux Gaming

    I’m betting it’s far from anything ‘honest.’ Stir up a little controversy (even if it’s as stupid as linux/windows fanbois arguing in the comments), get more clicks and rewards for ‘engagement’ from the algorithm.

    Maybe he is happy with linux as a system, but I bet this was thought over before it was posted.




  • Well, I love D&D for it’s ability to pull off dungeoneering (and even though I didn’t like it the most, 4E was definitely the most streamlined, fight me), WoD because the books are so freaking amazing to read through (seriously, the little vignettes are bone-melting good in the core books), and shadowrun because it predicts well (super sad face right now), but none off them can hold a sock in terms of ‘fun’ to my favorite.

    FATE. It’s beautiful. From the very onset of character creation it gets the group working in a collaborative fashion to build a story. The way it handles action scenes is at the very soul off old anime and hero fiction where saying “I believe I can win!” and then changing the win condition by kicking over a scene prop to give you a beautiful bonus… I love it. Using your character’s main description in an inventive way by twisting the meaning (and being encouraged to do so!) is just classic hand-holding-leading you to think creatively without explicitly guiding you to be more creative.








  • The servile corporate wageslaves who disregard their rights and throw a fit whenever they need to troubleshoot something,

    This is what drives me fucking nuts. Somehow everyone seems to forget that they are constantly troubleshooting “the computer” for the people that they would have to troubleshoot “Linux” for. And why is that such a complaint? After all:

    and asking users to click a button or type a word “is just too much.” It’s freaking sad.

    Nobody who has had to deal with computers has gotten away from going through some esoteric help website with commands like “win+R,” then “sysinfo” or “regex” or whatever, clicking through a five layer deep directory, and changing something. Alternatively, you might have been forced to uninstall a driver and reinstall an older version, or update bios with a usb. The only difference with linux is the instructions you’ll be following will be for a terminal line, MAYBE. Just as an example of what you’ll find if you’re searching for help with linux. They have instructions for if you have no earthly idea what you’re doing. No one can tell me that you had that much hand holding when you were having to figure out why the hell the windows update wouldn’t install without giving you a bluescreen of death.



  • Bro, no one who is a ‘casual user’ or is one of the “people who aren’t into technology” will ever need to look at the AUR. I’ve set up Endeavor for a friend who is, lovably, an idiot. He used it, without issue, for games on steam, opening documents, and browsing the web, which is one thing more than most will be using it for. Everything a casual person might need is in a gui.
