This is currently me with modded Kerbal Space Program and Cities: Skylines lol

As someone who has a big guilty pleasure for sports/performance cars and racing in general, this comic actually explains really well how I'm able to reconcile that with my dislike of car-centric infrastructure and wishing for better public transportation: without other means for getting around cities for people who don't care much about cars (i.e. most people), everyone will be forced to use cars for basic transport, meaning really clogged highways and traffic jams that directly affect you and your fancy sports car's enjoyment.

Conversely, if infrastructure was more accommodating for bikes, trains and buses to make them more viable, most people would use them, leaving the streets and highways freer for you to have fun driving your sports car the way it was meant to, instead of being stuck in traffic jams most of the time.

I just wish most people who are into cars realized this, instead of raving about how "they want to take away our cars!" and fellating Andrew Tate and other shitheads.

Now I'm honestly kind of glad that I've been too lazy/depressed to figure out how to get FOLON to run on Linux. I really hope they fix all this...

I spent the whole day flashing the MiyooCFW firmware onto it, customizing the menus, and testing which games ran well and which didn't (and constantly trying and failing to get Doom to run on it); I think I'm pretty happy with the end results now.

I get what you mean. I see a decent chunk of often more tech-proficient Linux users putting down Linux Mint, and it saddens me because even though I don't use Mint anymore, it was still the first distro I properly daily-drove and I still consider it an amazing system for people who are new to Linux.

I'm very glad you've been having a good experience with Mint!

It's simple: they never stopped being racist, they just try to not say it out loud anymore.

Hey folks, I've lurked on this community for a while now but haven't really posted anything until today. Sorry if this isn't really the right place to ask questions like this, but since this is a place for old games, I felt it'd be the most appropriate one...

I've been wanting to re-live some of the games I used to play as a child, and I remember how, back in 2004-2006, there was this Spider-Man game I used to play as a kid but could never beat. Lately I've been curious if I could finally do it now.

All I remember about it were three missions:

  • The first mission was some sort of "tutorial", where you'd have to use the web ability to swing across buildings and pass through a certain amount of these glowing green spider icons to clear the level.
  • The second(?) mission was about some robbers/thieves stealing a bank's armoured car and you had to capture all of them.
  • The third(?) mission was some sort of boss fight against a powerful guy who was apparently helping the thieves. I never got past this fight, he would always grab me - when he grabbed Spider-Man, I couldn't really do anything, he's just keep holding him and grunting occasionally; there might've been a key combination to break free from his grasp, but I didn't know at the time and always assumed it was game over and that I had to restart.

I understand this is really vague, but my memories of this game are incredibly vague and I barely recall much more. I remember I played it on a computer at least. I couldn't find anything like it on Wikipedia's pages on Spider-Man games, so I'm wondering if it might've been an unofficial game or something like that?

And this will be the coldest summer for the rest of our lives. 😓

Christ, Gamergate is still around? :/

I'm VERY tempted to buy Fallout 4: Game of the Year edition due to my hype for Fallout: London (which releases in April of this year), but I'm worried of getting burned if it turns out to be a bad/disappointing mod. :/

For what it's worth, I've had Linux spew similar CLI errors when booting up complaining about a critical CPU problem, when the problem actually was that it was reading data off of a dying hard-drive. (Removing said drive, as well as replacing it with a new, healthier drive, made the issue go away.)

Not saying your problem is actually a dying storage device, but that it's possible the issue might not actually be your CPU itself.

I'm so mad that Citra was also killed because of this. This means that 3DS emulation is effectively dead, since the next best emulator, Panda3DS, can't run most games...

I am really glad Flatpak exists, it made using Linux much easier for me ^^
