The point of use flags is to make it so if you don’t want to print, every package that would otherwise pull in CUPS as a dependency can be compiled without it. Stuff like that.

Gentoo also has a good system for handling multiple concurrent installs of different versions of some packages, e.g python.

If there’s software you want to install from source that uses automake it’s pretty simple to build your own package for it.

Very much a system for doing things your way, and a good way to learn linux IMO. To that end, no there is no installer, but the process is not that complex. Boot a live USB, partition and format a drive, download and extract a base system, install a kernel (there is a fits-most-needs one available now), install a bootloader. Reboot into your new system and continue installing what you need from there.

Not for me, I fear. If I’m playing a turn based game I don’t want there to be reflex challenges.

I remember reading an anecdote about a guy’s kid relative, who would describe a game they want to play (not even make themselves), and before describing mechanics even they listed out all the hypothetical microtransactions.

There’s hope for me yet, then. Though I think FS have long since sailed from what I liked about Soulslikes into something else entirely.

Sekiro is not a soulslike, it’s Ninja Gaiden. :P

I definitely agree on the lack of local / direct connection options.

I don’t think this is a graphics problem. I think people are just tired of silent protags. I mean, people were starting to make fun of it even when HL2 was new, enough so that the game actually draws attention to it in order to lampshade the issue somewhat.

Hm, fair point. I personally hate external accounts because it makes your ownership of your purchase that little bit more tenuous. Your continued access is now contingent on Valve remaining extant and good, Epic remaining extant and… tolerable, and the game’s servers, assuming EFD has those and offers no local / P2P option. Admittedly if that last is the case, you would hope if things fell through with Epic that the publishers would come up with some other solution, but I know it took a LONG time for most games that straddled the Steam+GFWL boundary to become playable again after GFLW died. And I’m not sure if they all did.

I am tempted to agree with you. I could see some theoretical scenario where some influencer with a large following convinces them to all review something poorly just because they say so. If that happened, I think it would be legitimate to call it review bombing. I don’t think it’s likely, mind you, that someone could convince a large enough group of people to do that without a valid reason. But it could theoretically happen.

Yeah, I wanted to ask about that. Is it “review bombing” if the complaints are legitimate? I thought review bombing was mass downvoting a game for reasons unrelated to the game, or for otherwise unreasonable reasons.

Shit that’s a weird headline to read…

I know nothing about this game at all, but I will now judge it based entirely off the preview graphic on this post.

Hmmmm looks like an uninspired hero shooter with insufferable characters.

Anyone know how close I was?

I wish them luck. I’m sure MS is considering just closing the studio. :/

Game Pass has been an awful money hole for MS since its inception. There’s no way it can make money without a dramatic increase in price for way less. It’s been so clear from day one that the hope was for gamers to just… stop buying games and for their service to become the only thing so they could later jack up the price when other options are gone, like streaming services did.

You can mod it into a FPS?? :0

Zomboid isn’t an im-sim, tho.

“Mods, deactivate this man’s balls.”

That’s the one :)

Whenever I read something on the lines of X`s new Y, I think of Curt’s new hat.
