I just reinstalled NFSU2 because of the new big expansion mod underground2.net Between this, my brother wanting to play Halo, and the new Linkin Park album coming out this week, I feel like I'm in 2004 again.

Take-Two CEO? absolutely do not believe anything coming out of his mouth or company. Scum.

Max Verstappen's team for "mental health awareness" 23h sim-race uses livery full of memes making fun of F1 drivers in c/[email protected]

It was hilarious! The whole race was done with this kind of mood of everyone having silly fun together to raise money for a mental health charity. Catch any of the vods of the event and you'll see thw good vibes.

By going back in time and actually winning the previous races that he and McLaren fumbled hard. It's not going to happen this year.

Some guy complained this fishing game only caters to queer players, so the dev added a "straight" title - it costs $9999 in c/[email protected]

I've heard some queer friends talking about this game and I had no idea what it was. Now I know, and not only is this hilarious now I want to give it a try. It looks pretty cute.

In the context of the leaked Warcraft II remake, do you still trust Blizzard to produce good games? in c/[email protected]

Lol, lmao, no.

Apex Legends is now rated "Mostly Negative" on Steam in c/[email protected]

The banner ad looks like they're promoting a free week of the game...... Which is already free to play. Are they really that desperate to get attention on it to counter these negative reviews? Lmao. I haven't played in a while but I left a negative review there.

Patient gamers, what are your favorite OSTs? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ace Combat, all of them but especially the PS2 Holy Trinity.

Shadow of the Colossus.

NFSU2, Most Wanted and Burnout 3, even if theyre licensed music and not really original.

Doom midis in general are fun. Touhou games too.

Played the beta last night and yeah, it got me in the mood for monster hunting again. Time to finally go play Sunbreak since I bought it ages ago, but never played through it again (bought the base game first on the Switch)

What desktop enviroment do you use and why? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I'm waiting for those. Truth be told, the process of modifying my Arch to have XFCE and remove KDE completely without reinstalling was... A trip. At least for the foreseeable future, I want to leave it as is, since it's working and it looks very nice to me.

Used Mint with Cinnamon for a long time, but always wanted to try KDE after distrohopping a bit. Had it on when I switched to Arch, but didn't like how slow it felt on my old laptop so I tried LXQt and then XFCE. I wanted a modern lightweight environment with Wayland support, but I'll have to wait for it to be implemented. In the meantime, I riced my XFCE just how I like it, and I really like how complete and responsive it is.

Good move, too bad it's tied to an incredibly bad game that ruins the franchise. Thanks a fucking lot Randy you sleazeball. Never trust Gearbox with anything.

Hey hey people. Relatively new Arch user here, but not new to Linux in general. I've been using Arch with KDE Plasma on this HP laptop from 2013, and I've been enjoying it a lot after spending a long time on Mint/Cinnamon.

But, I've noted that KDE is a bit slow on this machine, and is probably a bit too much. Earlier today, I decided to try out something lighter, and installed LXQt on it as a second DE. The experience was okay, with much improved responsiveness, a nice customizable retro look, and overall simpleness that still did the job mostly. But I also ran into a few issues that probably had to do with having two different DEs on the same machine and user. One thing in particular ended up annoying me so much I went back to KDE: The Discover app would just refuse to play nice with setting a dark theme on the rest of the environment, even when I tried setting it up with qt6ct.

So now I'm considering going to XFCE instead, as I probably should have done from the beginning. I just wish it had Wayland support already (I know it's being worked on). Do you have any suggestions or tips for me in regards to this? I'm sure a lot of people will recommend their favorite tiling WM which I'm not sure I want to get into.

Also, other than that, upon returning to KDE, I found that my Discover would crash when trying to update Flatpaks (the only thing I install through it) and started thinking this experiment somehow broke it.... but it's Flatpak itself that seems to have an issue today. Might have to do with the latest curl update? Dunno if I should make a separate thread for that. https://discuss.kde.org/t/kde-discover-broken-with-latest-curl-update/21475
