It’s Not Hard For A Billion-Dollar Company To Credit An Artist From Time To Time

The companies who own these games never bother to credit the artist

I guess I’m a bit confused here. Every film I have seen in my entire life credits the artists, and many games do as well.

I think it is just the earth. It’s round and gets physically in the way of the signal as you approach the ground.

For this war, that was a pretty large assault! That first hit looks like it may have gotten a pair of vehicles too!

Yep, we can each do our individual part. Ukraine has a direct donation page at United 24. I sent some more money the day after the election, figured they could use it.

Some games that make for some fun coop and don’t require a ton of screen time. All of these are at least gold rated on ProtonDB so should be fine on the SteamDeck, though I’m not sure about crossplay with consoles on any:

• Sanctum - An interesting combo of first person shooter and tower defense (Sanctum 2 was also real good)
• Borderlands 1 - Looter shooter with some solid humor (Borderlands 2 was also real good, but goes downhill in later games)
• MechWarrior 5 - Who doesn’t want to be a giant mech riddled with guns?
• Left 4 Dead 2 - Fight together to escape zombies, or in multiplayer servers work together as the zombies to take out other humans

Now, less of a focus on shooters:

• Golf It and Golf With Your Friends - Put Put golf taken to extreme levels
• Magica 2 - Murder enemies together in a top-down wizard game
• BattleBlock Theater - Jump over obstacles and solve puzzles together

You can assemble a sub at home in just the time it took you to drive one way. ‘Fast’ food being the slower and more expensive option has resulted in many, many more at-home meals for me.

Jesus, going through all that destruction, and your incoming munition alarm starts going nuts…

At least people are taking gun rights seriously. You cannot rely on the government to protect you. Even in the best of circumstances where seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

Yeah, your suggestion is the only thing I could think that would even work, but honestly, it’s probably more trouble than it is worth.

An alternative which doesn’t quite meet the requirements, but will be much lower effort would be to format the drive(s) as exFat, which both Windows and Linux can read without issue. Then put them up as a network share in both OSes.

If you are wanting RAID 1 with those two drives…this won’t work unless you are either using hardware raid (maybe you can set it in your bios?) or if you can find a software raid that both windows and linux use. For RAID, maybe just pick one OS and that will be the one that has the share.

I would also recommend against the SSD caching idea with all this other stuff in the mix, wait till you have a dedicated NAS PC. You are going to pull your hair out otherwise.

OP, do you have an old computer, even an old laptop? A NAS doesn’t require much computing power. You can plug your drives in via a SATA to USB adapter. Then you will have a dedicated NAS box and all these problems get 500x easier.

That second graph is a doozy. What is driving the two? I’m assuming the Trump plan involves a cut to capital gains tax?

Want to point out the Strykers. Not sure about the qty here, but always nice to see solid IFVs getting sent over. Seems to be the best land vehicle in this war in which nobody has air supremacy.

Edit:

Looks like 211 Strykers! Based on the difference in announced quantity from Oct 21st to Nov 1st.

The US could start by allowing Ukraine to strike targets in Russia using US-provided long range weapons. That should have happened from the get-go. But it is something we can do today that would help.

Valve needs to start banning games from their store for retroactively breaking Linux support.

Valve did recently mandate games will have to share if they use Kernel Level Anti-Cheat. If nothing else it allows people to better see what games want to own their systems.

If you play with your friends, the shitty anticheat situation means you may need to keep Windows around.

Highly suggest the new Factorio expansion with friends. Game is a shitload of fun and there is no anti-cheat BS.

I have never found HDR to be helpful. Every time I turn it on it seems to think what I want was not better colors, but for all my colors to be extremely washed out on every screen.

Yeah, I made the switch to Mint recently and have been pleasantly surprised with how much of a non-issue it is. Open steam, hit install, hit play. Game runs.

Only thing I had to do was enable a single checkbox in steam to enable Proton for Windows games: “Enable Steam Play for all titles”

Everything in low earth orbit (LEO) decays and falls back to earth due to drag; as there is a very, very small amount of air there. The starlink satellites are all in LEO.

Space junk is mostly a problem higher up. In the higher orbits, old satellites move themselves to graveyard orbits; places where nobody really wants a satellite.

Personally, I use TVs as a simple screen and watch everything through other devices (Roku, or a Linux PC running MythTV).

This would be my suggestion. Get a mini pc or dongle and use the TV simply as a display. Internet connected TVs are never well supported.

Also, highly suggest disconnecting the TV from the internet. They don’t get security updates and they are notorious for spying on people’s viewing habits.

Of course not, who would put a power button on the back or bottom of the computer? Front, side, or top are the places it goes for almost every computer out there.

As long as no vents are blocked, should work fine. Anything with a fan is orientation agnostic.
