  • I’m running Nobara on a 2015 MacBook Pro, nice that this laptop I bought over a decade ago is still a perfectly good machine. The display, trackpad, keyboard and aluminum chassis are still stop notch and the processor and ram handle my casual computer usage just fine. Wild to think how many perfectly good computers are just going to waste because Apple and Microsoft gave up on them.







  • I’m mostly an RPG/FPS person so that’s what I’ll mention.

    We got a remaster of Oblivion that was excellent, The Outer Worlds 2 was a lot better than the last one, and we got Dragon Age: The Veilguard which Dragon Age fans didn’t like because it was more like Mass Effect and YouTube “personalities” didn’t like because there was an option to establish your player character is trans when establishing their backstory. As a Mass Effect fan I absolutely adored it though, so I’m playing through it again right now. STALKER 2 finally came out, and it didn’t have A-Life for some reason, but it does now… it’s also has mod support now too, even on console.

    Oh! Speaking of games with mod support on console, we also got Arma Reforger on both PC and console, so that’s opened up mil-sims to a wider audience. and while we’re talking about military shooters, Black Ops 6 came out and it was terrible, and they just kept making it worse all year to the point where even the CoD fanboys didn’t even care when the beta for Black Ops 7 came around. Activision panicked and made a bunch of changes that the community had been begging for years for, but it was too late and when BO7 came out most people didn’t care. Especially since the campaign was Co-Op only and weird. Multiplayer is solid but nobody cares and ActiBlizz is in full panic mode. This whole situation wasn’t helped by the fact that Battlefield 6 had a beta that managed one of the top concurrent player counts on steam because it was so well received. The multiplayer of BF6 was well received on launch, but people complained that the maps are small (they are) but with the first season they released a BR called RedSec and it’s just okay, but it came with a couple new big maps and also every update to BF6 makes it worse in some way so now people are kinda souring on the game.




  • I’m all for hating on CoD, but the DLC “content” is skins and minor cosmetics, it really doesn’t add anything to the game and isn’t necessary at all. Also the CoD Points are for cosmetics as well. There’s a lot of shitty things you can and should say about Vanguard, but it is not pay to win.

    In high school in like 2007/8ish my friend told me you could get a free disc with an operating system called Ubuntu on it sent to you in the mail, so I requested one out of curiosity and put it on the iMac in my room, and fell in love with it. I still have the disc, even though I’m more of a Fedora person now.
