It’s crazy that racists just have an axe to grind with people who are even vaguely accepting. If a game is too “woke” just shut up and let us have our fun. No one is making you play it. Kudos for the professor’s self-confidence. I hope she is safe from crazy people on the web.
I’m still interested, but I’ll wait until it’s available. I’m not sure what purpose it serves, but if feels off or weird to me.
Emacs is a text editor that can also do other things. It’s an alternative to something like VScode or notepad++, not an office suite. It’s super archaic too, so it will always have a niche crowd.
I always assumed schools had at least one or two IT people who just are spread really thin or something. Never occurred to me that an organization would just have PCs with no admin, but it sounds plausible. I guess the instructors just have to fix things if they run into issues.
It does indirectly support the cosmetic market, from which Valve still makes money I think. It’s kind of unfortunate that people work for free to support their income, but it’s not worse than the game dying entirely, probably.
8 years is a really long time. We could speculate about their overall life circumstances. It’s a studio of three to four people IIRC. If one steps away from the project for a while, it can make a huge difference.
Also, having to practically scrap the whole thing and start over is something that happens in game development. It may have happened to them once or twice, and it’s hard to admit it publicly. Some will misinterpret it as incompetence of the devs.
Are you now the IT support guy for these workstations, or is the school’s IT going to take over maintenance. I guess you have an internship or something if you are.
I feel lucky that I never got into his content. I heard so much about him as a kid, and I only recently started hearing about the Nazi stuff.
I feel like the dialogue and the world capture a vibe that is basically unparalleled, but I agree that it’s too much. The pacing just feels so slow sometimes. Maybe the reboot will strike a better balance.
It’s software that’s made by people for people. I think it’s kind of wild that you can get a full-featured operating system with no strings attached. Normally, if something is free it means that you’re the product, but this is not (seemingly?) the case with FOSS stuff.
The nice thing about distro choice is that you don’t really need to commit to one with them (mostly) being totally free. As long as you back up your files, I’d recommend trying a few until you feel comfortable. If you go with Ubuntu or Linux Mint I think you’ll have the easiest time. I’d tentatively recommend dual-booting to give a new distro a try without fully committing, but that brings its own difficulties and troubleshooting with it. Having a second machine to test with is also great, but it’s not a good option for everyone.
Technically. Being a cardinal is an unwritten requirement seeing as they, with very few exceptions, have preferred to elect a cardinal to be pope.

Let’s go. Pope Biden can be the seventh.
lol yes. I did it a few times before I realized that it’s not a good way to get weapons. Only lost a few bucks.
Edit: Should clarify, my parents bought them.
Hahaha this takes me back. My first purchases in 2011 were a few TF2 weapons. I got my account a short time after it went F2P.
I remember hearing that you can’t solder batteries normally though and that a special technique is needed to heat them minimally. Is this true?
Redux and last light were great. Awesome short ish stories that capture a unique vibe. The shooting is really good too. I still have yet to try Exodus due to issues running the game. but maybe I’ll try again.
It might be good. It’s just kind of insulting to use the Marathon IP for this. Still, I’m happy for anyone who ends up liking it.
Do your issues appear on a fresh install? At my admittedly limited level of expertise, I’d probably start from there. If a clean install works properly, then something that’s happening later is messing it up. You’d have to keep track of changes you make to your system and check for issues as you go.
If a clean install is borked from the get-go, maybe try different distros. Since Framework supports Fedora, I’m surprised that anything would go wrong.
I don’t know if Framework offers any support or warranty, but you could check with them too.
I reserve my right to complain.
La Mulana for sure! It’s a game where you play as professor Lemeza Kosugi (i.e. Japanese Indiana Jones) exploring an ancient temple. I admit that I did not have the patience for it. The map is huge and exploration is very non-linear. You also have to solve fairly obscure puzzles. If you really wanted to give it a go, I’d keep hand-written or typed notes separate from the in-game notes. They only let you save so much data at once, and you need more notes (or a good memory). I still kind of loved exploring the maps even partially though. It’s pretty huge and ambitious in scope.
The combat and movement are not fantastic though. Not bad, but they feel very limiting compared to typical metroidvanias that let you style on enemies as you get better at the game. The game is not very shy about how it enjoys killing you too! I respect it, but it was tough for me to enjoy.
