and heaven forbid you decided to play PVP on it when it was available cause it was by far the easiest online game to hack in. no other tools, no mods, just open up the console and turn on god mode…in multiplayer…and you wouldn’t get banned.
well I’m shocked…shocked I tells ya.
If you’re looking for something with a great campaign/single player than yeah the Forza Horizon series is great. you can customize the hell out of your cars, it’s VERY easy to get new cars, and the single player is fun with a lot of variety.
If you’re looking for something “mindless” that you can just jump into and fuck shit up after a long day of work then Burnout Paradise.
If you’re a fan of future racing ala WipeOut on the Playstation then BallisticNG. It’s pretty much exactly WipeOut and you can download via the workship all the old WipeOut tracks and crafts that people have made and made VERY well. I love the game.
If i’m at a sit down restaurant and I’m being served on, yes I’ll tip if the service is good. if i’m ANYWHERE else no, I don’t tip. In Ontario employees don’t have a server wage, they get paid at least minimum.
hell at least once I was asked to tip at a self checkout (can’t remember where) and I was like “wait…am I paying myself? is the store going to tip me?”
make no mistake it’s just ways for businesses/companies to bleed more money out of you. don’t do it unless it makes sense to do so.
meanwhile in Personna 3:
“honey what are you playing?”
“oh just a game where I play as some high school kids that shoot themselves in the head in order to unlock their powers”
as someone who grew up in Cambridge…yeah the kitchener subreddit doesn’t surprise me. I’ve looked at it a few times and was like “yup, that’s Kitchener” I mean hell if those fuckers were allowed to commit a purge on the homeless encampent across the street from the go station they’d jump on that without a moments hesitation.
Kitchener has always been a cesspool of hate even when I was a kid in the 80s/90s. The only, literally only, reason we’d ever drive to Kitchener was to go to fairvew mall, toys r’ us, or futureshop.
name me a Canadian subreddit that ISN’T run by mods that staunchly control the narrative. /r/Toronto is just as bad if not worse although leaning in the opposite direction and is one of the primary reasons why I decided to fully embrace lemmy.
the mods of /r/toronto are just so damn terrified of potentially stirring any kind of pot. Anything that is pro-palestine is quickly locked and you can’t comment on it. pro israel is open for discussion. anything relating to homelessness in Toronto is also promptly locked. questions about Toronto? removed. countless photos of sunsets or rain or fog, yeah those can pass. Hell they even at one point curbed posting about any sort of crime that took place in the city.
If something doesn’t paint the city in a positive light or doesn’t fit the mods narrative it’s removed and you’re promptly banned.
yeah mine is only 4gb too. you’ll be more than fine. I mean I’m on a laptop lol and pretty much every game i’m playing is on max settings pulling down 80+ fps.
sure:
cpu: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H(16) @ 4.30ghz
gpu: Nvidia Geforce RTX 3050 Mobile
ram: 16gb
SSD: 500gb
as far as Bazzite goes I lookd into it, seemed like something more for handhelds like the steamdeck. there was no live usb version so I didn’t really bother to try it out.
oh really? i’ll have to check that out, thanks!
CachyOS has a pretty good development team and combine that with Plasma that has it’s own development team I’d say it’s in good hands. Compare that to cinnamon which is like one dude and once you get into the nitty gritty of it you quickly find how lacking it is.
One example, if you’re on a laptop and use a lot of public wifi (I do for work) you deal with captive portals A LOT to connect. on Cinnamon/Mint it was an absolute headache to try and get those things to pop up and connect. It was more of a Cinnamon issue than anything else.
on CachyOS with Plasma I don’t have that issue. It tells me that I need to connect to a portal and will open it and connect to it for me.
combine all that with Arch and it’s just a breeze. everything you need is right here: http://aur.archlinux.org and this applies to all Arch distros. it’s essentially a database of everything you can install on an Arch distro. no need to go googling stuff, it’s all right there. combine this with Octopi (package manager) it makes it way better than Mint IMHO.
And if you have Nvidia you’re doing yourself a deservice by staying on Mint. I think the most you can use on it is the Nvidia 535 drivers. anything above that you’re going to crash Mint. on Cachy i’m on the 555 drivers and my games have easily doubled their FPS. I can play Elden Ring and Helldivers 2 on maximum settings and pull down 90+ fps. games like WoW or FFXIV i’m getting over 100 FPS. On Windows I’d get maybe 30 to 40 FPS on the exact same rig.
The main reason I switch to Cachy was because of the development team. I was also planning on checking out Nobara but again, it’s one guy, so I felt more confident going with Cachy.
I’m probably one of the only people that loved Jurassic Park on the Sega CD. It was more like a point and click adventure game with some really awkward FPS sequences (if you could call them that) but it also had cool videos about all the dinosaurs by Dr. Robert Bakker.
you might have problems with it on Mint. I tried using it on Mint and had a very bad time with it. Mint isn’t great with nivida cards if you’re using one.
If you really want to use Hyperland and something that installs and that you can use that’s just about as easy as Mint I’d suggest CachyOS. that’s the one I moved to after using Mint for a bit. gives you the option to install hyprland while you’re installing Cachy. it’s faster than Mint too.
yup that’s me now too. Linux, Lemmy, Mastodon, and Vivaldi Email. Even went old school and decided to download my music again which wth playlist-dl and cmus makes it so easy. find a song/album/playlist I like and just rip it right to my library.
It’s just amazing how easier things get when you decide to step outside the norm. What I love about Linux is you can think “hmm, I kinda want to do this on my PC” and boom, someone has already thought of it and made it possible for you.
it’s the reason I made the move from windows. don’t regret it. My computer just runs so much better now that i’m using linux. easily doubled the FPS of all my games.

There’s something that happened that I can’t quite put my finger on. Sure I’m going to show my age here but when I went to elementary school in the 80s/90s our entire school was essentially made up of immigrants. Irish, British, Polish, Ukrainians, Filipinos, Iranians, Syrians, Indians, etc, etc, etc and we all got along just fine. we were all friends. We all went to each others birthday parties, all our parents hung out with each other. If a new familiy immigrated in and moved to our neighborhood we’d have a big BBQ and invite everyone over.
So what happened? and it swings both ways. Both Canadians being hostile to new immigrants and immigrants coming in and being hostile or disrespectful to the country they decided to move to and it’s people.
I just don’t get it and maybe someone smarter than I can explain it.
other articles about this have said it was a “mob of midde eastern men” and the video that is on some sites shows that they were middle eastern. as far as them being Syrian? who knows. But it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that their religious beliefs were likely at play.
Don’t expect a MASSIVE increase in performance though. Just keep that in mind. But it will remove Edge, copilot, onedrive, ads, manditory updates, and a lot of microsoft bloatware.
looks ok but the robot mode looks insanely clunky.
Honestly there hasn’t been any good transformer games since the first two High Moon Cybertron games and Transformers: Devistation. all of which are delisted from Steam (glad I bought them when I did).
