Dual-booting Win 11 and Bazzite while I figure out the flow for myself and whether I can shove off into the deep end without Win 11.

If you enjoy gaming or steam-related apps, Bazzite comes kitted out with most of what you'll need to be successful out the gate.

Aside from EAC-based games, I've found a lot of my games just run better without the Win 11 bloat in the background.

Exploring Windows alternatives has never been easier in my opinion.

He is acting like he doesn't bear responsibility for Trump being in office to put those plaques up in the first place.

This is less of a "look what that fool did" for Rogan and more of a "hey look what I did in helping make this shit stain your president."

Don't worry Joe we all know what you did.

Anyone that makes this claim deserves to put their life where their mouth is. What's good for the gander is good enough for the fucking goose.

I feel you brother. I know it's hard to find the bright side sometimes, especially when there's so much bad news flowing.

The days of the AAA studio might be limited but some of my favorite recent releases have come from small studios or indie developers.

How do I already have 50 hours in Megabonk? Talking to friends and family about a Necesse server soon too for its 1.0 drop as it was a lot of fun when i played it a year or so ago. We are almost done with our Abiotic Factor server that we need to clear first. Survival Half Life with SCP Foundation-like elements is a fun premise and we're enjoying the run.

I'm waiting for Motemancer to get a little more content and then I'll probably start a solo run there as well with its early similarities to Factorio. Schedule I was also fun from my initial toe dip, and I'm looking forward to a little more content before I play with some friends.

There are a lot of options, I think the hurdle people need to get over is life-like graphics does not equal a good game, and can often get in the way of, or completely sideline, elements that are fun and can make or break a game.

If Republicans didn't have double standards, they would have no standards at all. They would just selectively enforce and wear the hypocrisy as a badge like fascists do. It'd just be a way to flex their power while giving them a new way to attack and harass.

It's hilarious to me that they think Canada is just going to ignore Trumps bullshit and about face on anything, like choosing to spend time and money in the US, while that shit stain is still in office.

He threatened their sovereignty. He's talking about subjugating them, but yeah ignore all that cause wouldn't it be great if Canada could keep making the US money while Republicans continue with their treacherous wretched path.

These stains on our society deserve to be ripped from their seats of power and forced to live the life they seek to press us into, absolute poverty and actual servitude.

I generally agree "both sides" is a shitty argument, but thinking democrats are going to save us is naive. Time and again they have shown us who bought their vote, while ignoring those who voted for them. They will happily take your money and smile while mitigating any real impact you could have on the status quo.

The reality is both parties are beholden to their wealthy donors over the needs of the average American.

The right exists to ratchet us to the right toward fascism, and the corporate Democrats are there to make sure things don't shift too far left when Republicans lose power. Notice how democrats stopped taking about universal Healthcare and spent 0 air time talking about the needs of the average American in the 2024 election? Much easier to push the most regressive antiimmigration legislation they've ever pushed, basically giving Republicans the groundwork for the shit we see today. I say democrats but it's not Progressives that run the party, money backs the corporate Dems.

Money has poisoned our political system and until we do away with money in elections we will have a broken system that serves only those with lots of money.

The Democratic party broke the Democratic party by letting the mask slip and showing that when push comes to shove, the Corporate Democrats find fascism to be just fine with their wealthy benefactors interests.

After years of the party using "this might be the end of democracy" for campaign purposes, their actions show they either don't care or are actively on board with ending it. In a conflict where monied interests are trying to destroy our nation and rebuild it to solely their interests, is it surprising that those who have fattened themselves with that money are rendered ineffective?

You might even call them the controlled opposition, a failsafe to ensure things don't shift too far left. I remember how the DNC put their finger on the scales and gave us Biden, and then instead of giving us a choice played games and threw Kamala at us rather than open a primary. But hey the DNC machine made money from donations from people desperate to keep fascism at bay... and the reality of the threat only made them more money.

From my perspective based on their actions in this defining moment, corporate Democrats are not our friends and will choose to enrich themselves instead of fight for us at every self-interested opportunity.

We desperately need to get money out of politics.

Every time I see Republicans taking a new low on attacking trans people, all that tells me is that's how Republicans deserve to be treated in the future.

When I see Republicans calling for the erasure of trans people, what do you think that tell me Republicans deserve to be treated like?
