Fuck Nintendo. I will never buy anything from them. They’re basically cyber terrorists; they abuse the legal system to cause chaos and make everything shittier. I wonder what terrible things they’re going to do next. They’re no longer just a run of the mill shitty corporation. They’re an advanced threat to the entire tech world and they have to be stopped at all costs.
Dealing with proton shenanigans is much easier than dealing with all of Windows and Microsoft’s bullshit.
The windows “desktop environment” is so slow and clunky. It makes game development or really any workflow requiring the use of multiple open directories almost too hard. It makes me wonder how they even develop this piece of shit at Microsoft HQ. Do they have an in-house developers ui that’s maybe a little more efficient? Do they have special accelerated hardware that makes it run faster than fast on the development machines? I guess the windows server ui is faster than the windows 11 ui and maybe it has a better file explorer so maybe that’s what they use.
When you need to install a program, all the choices available are too spammy and corporate. The hp printer driver is 300mb and takes 15 minutes to install on a ssd on Windows. Meanwhile on Linux you type something like “sudo apt install cups” and 15 seconds later you have printer drivers.
It’s pretty easy to identify the sweaty mlg titles that lock down everything with windows-only anticheat before buying them. Beyond anticheat games, I can’t even recall a game I couldn’t get running.
I think there’s a “SKSE for Linux” you can download so that you get it in a separate launcher, but renaming the executable to whatever the original one is will result in that newly renamed executable getting run when you press the play button. This approach works for Skyrim and Starfield but probably others as well.
SKSE works in Linux. I manually install each mod. It’s a pain in the ass but I imagine still less of a pain in the ass than dealing with mod managers. I don’t know who’s teaching new programmers to make their side projects in such a way that it only works on windows but it’s stupid and lame. It’s not as bad as it used to be but there’s always outliers that pop up such as Starfield xedit. You can put your ui in an opengl window. You can use python with wxwidgets. Java has good gui stuff. There are a multitude of ways to do ui besides Microsoft’s bloated toolchain.
Microsoft went too far in 2001 when they included a new online activation feature in Windows XP which spearheaded the future of drm and enshitification. They’ve been one-upping themselves ever since. All the most recent stuff is just more icing on the shit cake.
The real question is: did it work?

I use ipv6 when possible but it’s rarely possible. I’ve never had home internet that was ipv6 ready enough for my wan address when googling “what’s my ip” to be something besides an ipv4 number.
Could I get ipv6 over otherwise non ipv6 compatible hardware using a vpn?
Looks like not having kids in protest of how shitty things are is working. Everyone keep it up.

I got far enough to figure out that the game takes forever because of the 10 year peace treaty period (which they added for balance).
Death penalty to those who deal drugs would have the potential to be the biggest shitshow of all time. Just think. Trump permanently undos all marijuana legalization progress and then goes after everyone who’s ever worked in the industry to sentence them all to death. Marijuana reform isn’t a very important political issue to most people. The average person probably doesn’t even know if weed is legal where they live or not. Public outcry won’t be enough to stop this from happening if that’s the route the Republicans choose to go.
Almost all video games are puzzle games because you have to figure out how tf to play them. I had to study for a while before understanding Stellaris.
Congress is making laws about bathrooms and genitals like a bunch of 6th graders running a minecraft server. Of course we can’t handle fucking asteroid defense.
So, like, would you recommend or no? What if I have a burning sensation fetish?

Windows ME didn’t have the ability to automatically install USB drivers and it was fucking bullshit even back then.
You can’t install a flash drive driver if you need the flash drive in order to transfer the driver to the computer, everything is always 0.1mb too large for a floppy drive so CD has to be burned which is clunky and stupid and time consuming.
When they start making affordable arm or risc motherboards that can take pcie cards and ram sticks, then I’ll be interested. The “pi” motherboard form factor has its place but we need better stuff.
Let’s take low power a tech gadget that gets good battery life and make it no longer have good battery life. What a great idea.
