Toying with moving over to a Linux distro of some description. Maybe Bazzite?
My main issues are rather small ones, but I like 8BitDo peripherals and support looks a bit spotty, and I’ll miss Wallpaper Engine 😆
Such minor issues, but annoying enough that I’m conflicted

Most Elder Scrolls fans I know that have been playing these games for 15+ years all conclude that Morrowind is their favorite because you can actually do the most things in it
"Go back and play Morrowind and tell me that’s the game you want to play again," said Bruce Nesmith, who worked for Bethesda for over 17 years, adding that playing The Elder Scrolls 3 "would not stand the test of time." https://bit.ly/4q4GoKh

Fuck this AI cancer & I cannot say louder enough.
"The UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that, whatever its long-term potential, contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs."

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.
Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

The Line, a Saudi Megaproject, Is Dead
It was always doomed to unravel, but the firms who lent their name to this folly should be held accountable.

Reading this was infuriating, and the award seizure is only partly why.
Worth reading though. A bitter example of how badly the game industry fails those who do the actual work.

I really need to work on temper control when playing hard games. I tend to get so frustrated and it really limits my ability to enjoy difficult games.

There are more games than I’ll ever have time to play and that’s a little sad.
I’ve really rediscovered a lot of passion for video games lately and I want to play so many of them. I’m currently going through the NES Megaman games and having a blast!

This is one of the most fundamental underlying problems of perspective with many, if not most people who play fighting games. “People just want to be good at something automatically” is not correct. It’s factually inaccurate. People don’t expect to be “good.” They just don’t like being vaporized.
