Proud of you, chief, it’s hard to do that kick the addictions

CoD remains the only reason I have Windows (LTSC, on a different drive from Mint).The day someone else makes something that’s CoD Zombies but good (Sker Ritual was… Not), I’ll ditch it. Until then I’m stuck enjoying the occasional custom map release that’s worth a fuck and dealing with Actiblizz :(

Found the Nazi

Doesn’t have to

Ime even if it’s just a brick for being able to call, or his car is from the last 15 years: they ping cell towers and that can be enough

It also does it completely locally, using an on-device chip. If your phone has the Google assistant on it, disable all Internet and try the wake phrase, it’ll work. Nothing else does, because it has to phone home for that, but the wake phrase handling IS on-device. Can’t even turn the flashlight on otherwise tho lol, even if you use what we used to call the power button (new name for it? Lock button?) and type what you want it bitches about internet

Sweet fuck am i glad I’m running mine self-hosted and running one of the dolphin models so I can get cool shit like detailed instructions for drug growing and selling or say “fuck” and not have it get angwy at me (tried Gemma and while it’s fast… Fucking oof what a locked in corpo AI)

That’s 150 miles round trip, if you stop once to pee or whatever you can charge and boom, not on the cusp anymore

If you’re the rare person who does 3 hours of driving without stopping then… Well, you do you

A lot closer to 125 miles of real driving range on my 2018 leaf, and that’s an older car on older tech in not-quite-snow and on hills in the winter

I’m too tired to reply to everything but for those who didn’t know the Nexus Mods App is pretty good already and is in its AppImage stage. Any of the games it supports are flawless imo

I mean, he brought the marker back to the planet, which should be what the marker wanted, so why were they still attacking him?

The marker wanted to stay off of Aegis VII, actually. Their entire goal (as we learn in 3) is to spread the Necro infection and eventually make a Brother Moon. It’s likely the marker kept attacking Isaac in an attempt to stop him from putting it back on the planet that was about to fall apart. Isaac’s mental infection isn’t hardcore until DS2, either, so he’s not being manipulated very hard yet

Dead Space gets fucking complicated if you read the extended lore in all the games holy shit I sound insane

Wait, is mercer the guy developing the invincible necromorphs, or is he the one helping you bring the marker?

Mercer is the guy making the invincible Necro. In the remake he kills himself willingly, in the original he’s “betrayed” by the marker. The guy helping you is June, poor bastard

Dr Mercer was advantageous to the Marker to have alive and doing his work, so he isn’t killed until his usefulness has run its course

Canonically: the markers try to influence people to do what will assist in Unification. Isaac vehemently doesn’t believe in Unitology so the marker throws enemies at him to try to stop him / manipulate him into doing what it wants (in DS2 & 3). Other people in the series are believers, so they don’t need to be killed off if they’re more useful alive for the time being

Survivors lasting by staying behind locked doors isn’t too unbelievable, either, given the fall of the Ishimura took a while (1 month from marker discovery to it getting on board the ship), and you arrive not that long after it falls (less than a week). It’s been at most a week since she went dark, I think, which is a believable timeframe to survive given the comms going black is at least a day before the big fall of the ship

Oh hey my memory was pretty close: Check the year 2508 section

Other games absolutely pull that shit too much, but DS did a pretty good job with background story details to explain why some people aren’t dead

It’s the unofficial updater for nVidia graphics on Linux. If you’re running Mint you should use the Driver Manager software instead, imo

I’d advise going with an AMD card, personally just moved away from nVidia due to a mix of too many issues with Linux that are nVidias fault + being way more expensive than similarly powered AMD GPUs

I went to get it after leaving the comment and am devastated to remember that I had it saved in a text file that I lost. I’ll try to remember to dig through my history to find it, but I do know I found it by basic web search a few years back and that there are many of them in existence, so it shouldn’t be hard to find one of your own if I forget

I get mine from an IRC channel that has basically everything imaginable

Torrents and shit are cool and all, but hopping onto IRC and saying 'Hobbit, Tolkien" and being sent 100 download links is, imo, the best

Run it through Calibre and boom, you’ve got a cheap and quality e-reader with free books

Mint CE for my desktop (might distro hop soon for multiple curiosity based reasons, all my data is on non-os drives anyway) - easiest to just get working when fast-swapping, IMO

Debian for my server - it’s the flavor of Linux I’m most familiar with over the years & for my server I dont need any of the shit Ubuntu does

STEAM OS for my Steam Deck (I use it as a TV PC so desktop mode is common with it), because it’s really good for that purpose

Oblivion is far less playable for new players, y’all just have nostalgia blinders / mods in mind

The levelling system breaks Oblivion, violently. Nothing that awful is in Morrowind, even the “I can’t hit anything with a dagger because I’m too stupid to read” doesn’t come close

but I have had an issue w/ my Bluetooth headphones dying and not being able to plug in my wired headphones

and I refuse to use a dongle

Sounds like your problem was self-made. I use wired headphones flawlessly without the 3.5mm jack and reap all the benefits of both worlds, because the older tech isnt actually superior

Yeah, Lemmy is full of people stuck in their way and insisting older tech is better because they refuse to update

I see they’re remaking the worst one first, good

Yeah, that’s right, my hot take is that Oblivion fucking sucks ass and needs a remake, unlike TES 2, 3, and 5

An entirely impossible dream world you live in, bud

On a public forum?

Lol you wish
