wait till Jack decides ita time to cash out

I mean, you don’t like BlueSky, fair. But Jack Dorsey left like…over a year ago.

There are exactly two major developers that get an eye raise from me these days. Nintendo and From Software. And even From Software I’m cool on right now because I’m just real burned out on excessively depressing grimdark fantasy.

And Indie Devs aren’t even filling in the gap for me anymore. Granted, I see a lot of interesting concepts put out with them, but they way too often come with disappointing execution. The last two indie games to really floor me were Neon White and GhostRunner.

Games are just in a really weak place right now. I honestly find I’m spending more and more time on the NSO virtual console games.

That’s a really dismissive way to say “It’s an OS built to fit a demand that wasn’t being met by the other distros”.

Bazzite is the option for Windows converts that want a gaming focused Linux desktop. A lot of people are going to nitpick it to death, because they want “Literally Windows but without Microsoft”. Which isn’t happening while Linux has the market share it has. You either accept a few annoyances (while advocating for those annoyances to be fixed), or go back to Windows and accept Microsoft’s authoritarian control of your computer.

Bazzite is a solid desktop that’s going to be really hard for a regular user to break, comes with Steam, Lutris, and Heroic built in, proprietary nvidia drivers installed, and is based on Fedora (Modern, stable, well supported).

The only downside is KDE can be really easy to break if you’re a new user unfamiliar with how customizing it works, but if you leave it default you’re fine.

The biggest issue among the Shenmue community was that it left us in another fucking cliffhanger. Seriously. Yu. I love how dedicated you are to your vision…but this is getting annoying.

Most of the other criticisms were about how slow and plodding some things were…which is something a lot of us liked about Shenmue.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Arguing against servers because you want match making is like arguing that you hate McDonalds serving Cheeseburgers because you want Chicken nuggets.

The amount of time I’ve spent playing online games has fallen off a cliff after forced matchmaking, particularly SBMM. They’ve legitimately ruined my enjoyment of games.

I got into Overwatch for a bit, but the SBMM meant that at lower levels it was basically a coin flip if I would get a team that wanted to play as a team, or a bunch of kill whores who only cared about their K/D ratio. I don’t want to have to drop hundreds of hours int mastering the game just to have actual teamwork.
