Buckle Up, Disappointment Awaits!

Been replaying through Y’s VII: Lacrimosa of Dana. Such a great JRPG and Falcoms sound team was absolutely on point for this title.

I had messed around with various distros in the mid 2000’s but never more than a day. Just as a “this seems neat” kinda thing. Recently I wised up, tried Zorin OS was on that for a year, then went back to windows for a while. now I’m running EndeavorOS and there isn’t even a windows partition on this machine, I will not be going back. Still debating setting up QEMU for the only windows only program I miss though.

Wayland is still unusable for me. Was happily running Wayland in 5.27 But have encountered nothing but issues in 6.0, main one being performing any sort of action with animations, scrolling, opening notifications etc causes the desktop frame rate to pummet, sometimes even hitting zero. All AMD build as well. I’ll keep checking back to see if it’s fixed but I’m too new to Linux to do any real sleuthing. X11 has been working fine in the meantime.

Unleash The Archers - General of the Dark Army

Could turn it into a emulation box, play some classics.

Will definitely be checking some of these out!

Thank you for reminding me of Material Shell, I tried it years ago on an older build of Zorin OS and it crashed constantly. Excited to give it another whirl, and great to see he’s working on the same concept with a new implementation,

I’ve done this swap a lot. So hopefully this helps.

They do feel good. Definitely a little bit different than the original sticks, when they are new they feel tighter / stiffer than even a brand new joycon, but not overly so, they do loosen up a bit over time but are still stiffer overall. The rubber caps feel pretty much indistinguishable to me vs original.

Not sure where you live but around here Sony isn’t an option for TV’s not financially anyway, 30-40% more than the competition for no damned reason.

Yep. Came across a computer recently still running Windows 2000 on it. Fan sounded like a truck with a bad lifter tick 😂

Windows 11 forgetting my Bluetooth controllers constantly is part of the reason I switched to Linux.

Just in case anyone is looking to have their adult content streamable but kept separate from Plex/Jellyfish etc check out Stash, really easy to spin up a container. Works well, bit rough around the edges though.

Not a week goes by that I don’t think about Y’s 8 at some point. It was my first entry into the series, it took my restarting 4 times before I got a “feel” for it and got sucked into the story. I am so glad I did. One of my all time favourite series now. Currently playing through Origins waiting for the English and hopefully PC release of Nordics

Yeah, Western Canada.

Considering where I live like 80% of our power generation is from hydro-electric dams, yep. I do this every day.

Gargoyles consistently slips under people’s radar and that’s so sad, as it was such a great cartoon. I mean who doesn’t want Jonathan Frakes voicing the big bad?

Just think of the Duck Tales intro song, that should at least replace it.

That’s really bad, sounds like a winter compound tire was sold as an all-season or something. That sounds like the typical treadwear for a winter tire that gets run in the wrong season.

Also for anyone reading this, If you ever need cheap tires try your local independent mechanics or to a lesser extent franchise mechanics shop, lots of people swap tires when they have 35%+ tread life left. Lots of shops will let these tires go for cheap if you get them put on at their shop. I would gladly take a good quality tire at 40% tread life vs a cheapo crap set at 100%

I work in the rim and tire industry so I find this really interesting. Haven’t seen either of those two brands before where I am, but most cheaper brands nowadays are all made at the same two or three locations and just get a different name stamped into the sidewall.
