Crunch bad.

But can we talk about the title for that game for a moment? "Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet" damn that's cringy as hell.

My computer at work runs windows. But I bought a cheap KVM switch and use my Linux laptop for all my personal web browsing and slacking off.

I have a 256gb raptor from that era that is somehow still working fine. I use it as a steam library drive.

I say this as a big fallout fan. Those look like shit. What a lazy ass design.

A friend in college was given a free CRT airport monitor. It was something close to 40" and weighed at least 500lbs. It took 4 of us to very angrily move it to his upstairs room.

Not all software available on Linux is open source. NVIDIA drivers for example. Hell, most of the games on Steam are closed source.

So, is it just a matter of principle on Valve and AMD's part that they only want to ship with fully open source drivers?

I'm not technically knowledgeable enough to understand why you can't just make the HDMI 2.1 part of the driver code closed source and the rest of the graphics drivers open?

Fake tree. Easier, safer, less messy. Yeah, it's plastic, but it lasts as long as you want to keep using it. We just got a new one because we needed a skinny one for space reasons. But the old one we had for over a decade, and we sold it on to someone else.

She is absolutely terrifying looking in that picture.

The incest pride flag.

I put 200hrs into that game many years ago. Had a good time for a while, but it was one of those games where eventually a switch clicked in my brain and I felt like I was wasting my life away playing it. So I just stopped.

The last time I got interested in it again, I saw that the devs had basically abandoned it, or were relying on modders to do all the work to maintain it or something along those lines. I am glad to see people are keeping it alive and making it something more.
