Errr ... fine. I have a bias. I didnt like fortnite. I grew up playing twitch shooters like quake and UT. The most important things that mattered back then was movement, positioning and ofcourse, aim.
Aim was a huge huge part, back then the input was as analog as it got. Nowadays I feel like raw aim has taken a step back, while still being important, It is not THE diferentiating factor any longer, especially in games like fortnite.
I'm bitter about that because my mechanical skill is still up there even as an older dude, but in todays games everyone runs circles around me, especially in games like fortnite.
I miss the arena shooters, the raw input feel of 1:1 of the analog days. But I guess I'm just another older guy screaming at a cloud.
I wanted to reply to your points but someone beat me to it.
Learn to think critically. Close the app for a day, cool off and re-read all of these replies.
Do you think we would all just dump on something for the fun of it or just to piss you off? This isnt reddit.
Cmon man, take a second, look around and understand that the taste of boot leather is not very pleasant. Proton is not here for your privacy ... I mean it is, unless you're a french journalist ... or a person of interest for the right people.
I've been saying this for ages. Golf courses need to go the way of the dodo.
I get the "sport" but if you ever go over some places on google earth, they stand out like a sore thumb.
There is barely any affordable housing, but sure, lets keep our neighborhood-sized opulence "parks", that a few rich people can take advantage of sometimes.
Get fucked by a cactus.
Yes yes ok... I know.
On the phone. Where power saving is important. Where oleds are commonplace now. Where individual pixels turn off when fully black. I think a pixel that is off will use less power than one that is on, no?
But beyond all that, isnt it just a preference? Some people like white mode, others like dark. We dont all have the same eyes and brains.
I personally dont like light mode one bit and go the extra mile to get dark mode on my devices, but i dont care if someone else uses light mode. Cut it out, let people do what they like.
This! Rdr2 is insanely engaging with randos.
What the fuck are you on about? Jesus christ, we get ragebait in here too now?
Know your usecases. Thats it. Linux isn't hard if you do.
But no, let me recommend the jet engine service manual to my 6 year old that is learning to read. You're going to have a bad time.
For the record, since this post and most comments irked me, arch is fine. I'm using arch on my workstation/personal rig for years. Fedora on the laptop because I need a stable work thing. Alpine VMs on the homelab because it needs light and stable.
USECASES!
I second the fedora kde spin. Been using it for years on my work laptops. Hasnt failed me yet.
Right, yeah, guess I'm in the wrong with this one.
No. The question was technical. Not political. It does not even occur to you that you can explain something without bringing in mention of the political situation, does it?
Does it do "the vpn thing" - yes or no.
Does it record your data - yes or no.
Does it log trafffic - yes or no.
Is it stable - yes or no.
Are there caveats - if yes, which?
I take issue with mentioning the curent political landscape, because it is painfully obvious why we NEED vpn solutions in this day and age. You can flame me for it all you want. I want the discussion to be relevant. Not reddit-like.
Question about vpn .... but virginia is conservative and jesus has a trump tramp stamp ... dude ... please stop making everything about fucking politics, please. Thank you.
Hey man, I wasn't trying to be a jerk, I was trying to make a joke. Sorry if it came off badly, probably not my best phrasing. I guess there's a joke to be made about my jokes in there somewhere.
Truth be told, I'm salty about proton, not necessarily about what the ceo said (that too), but its like a canary in the mine, isn't it, a portent of things to come. So many companies are bending the knee, ufortunately.
I used to pay for proton becase it saved me time and piece of mind, now since I left I have to self-host everything, because I no longer want to move my shit around every time something goes the way of enshittification. That means time and effort spent on setting up and maintaining everything. Its a chore.
Thats why I made the joke the way I did, because I'm salty, I didn't cook it proper. You have a good one and take care out there stranger.
Congrats! From one trump kneebender right to the other. Is this a speedrun attempt?
Well done. I appreciate the fuck out of this place.
