Ah, get it. Thanks for explaining.

Living in a part of the world where we don’t really tip I have to ask, is tipping your landlord really a thing?

Absolutely agree. I was about to play the devils advocate and try to find ways, that this could happen by accident. If it was on PC it could’ve been the Ubisoft launcher (or whatever it’s called) which accidentally took window focus.

But this is on Xbox and PlayStation. That can only mean that it’s in the game files. That does neither happen by accident nor by technical error.

The only error could be, that it was enabled before they meant to. But no, this was 100% fishing for reactions.

Is this a screenshot of a post with a screenshot of a post? We ARE going to need a software engineer it seems.

Or even make it till 20:57

Thanks for the feedback - I’ve installed Pop OS tonight and installed bnet, wow, unreal engine, rocket league and steam.

Battle.net had a few problems because of the host file, and Vulkan apparently needed some fiddling - but at apart from that, I must say everything runs smoothly.

I look forward to test a lot of things deeper - but for now it very much seems like an experience I could get used to.

You’re right - but I’d say things on newer windows versions are pretty much out of the box. It may ask for driver installs, but that’s often just pressing a confirmation box.

It’s not that I’m afraid of the technical stuff - I am a windows sys admin and software developer. I just have bad memories of hours of getting drivers to work on Linux. I’m sure, that if I make the change and are happy, eventually I’ll take a deeper dive. But it takes a good first time impression to get there.

Thanks for the answer - I’ve usually just gone with Ubuntu. Would that still be the recommended distro for gaming?

Apart from wow and flight sim, I play rocket league, satisfactory, old school monkey island (and other point and click games) and FIFA from time to time and I make small game projects in unreal engine.

I really want to switch to Linux, but I’ve been told this before and then ended up spending hours trying to get everything to work, and usually give up … but it’s been a couple of years since I tried the last time, so is this the right time?

I have zero interest in the technical parts of Linux or setting things up. I want things to work out if the box. I may have to dual boot because of WoW and MS Flight Sim, but if everything else works it may be worth it.

Edit: wow thanks for the answers. You may have convinced me to try again.

Surprised I haven’t seen I Takes Two here yet - it’s a tour de force of genres.

If you never played this game and want a close to perfect coop experience, you should definitely give this a try. It’s perfect for a session with your SO, and it doesn’t rely on neither massive skill nor gaming experience.

I loved every bit of the journey that me and my wife was on with It Takes Two.

For some reason the dollar symbol annoys me so much - I’m fine with underscore and asterisk, but I’ve never found a good flow with the dollar sign.

Most programming languages uses = to copy a value into whatever whatever you put on the left side. You did it with TooClose, which you set to true.

But when you compare values as you do with the if statement, you need another operator, otherwise CanReadThis will be set to true and the if statement will always run (or syntax error), making it unnecessary.

Compare operators are typically == and/or === and some languages uses their own like ‘eq’ or other exciting ways.

Languages and compilers works in different ways, but your program could look like this. (When comparing a Boolean you don’t need the operator, you can just write the variable since it’s either true or false)

If (CanReadThis) { TooClose = true; }

Let it snow, Let it snow…

And a hot stone massage?

Or you would have a firewire 🤷🏽‍♂️

And most a fine with it…

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a looong time…

Plot twist: the death threat was the pricing change.

No - but you can connect to two routers at the same time, because then the waves will amplify each other making the signal stronger.
