Unmarketable Plushie

I haven’t watched the TV series, but I’m a big enthusiast of the games.

I’d say start at the start, especially if you’re alright with more old-school games. The first two are (sometimes punishingly hard) isometric RPGs that I personally had a blast playing. Some of the later games have little references to them that you might miss, too.

Get Fallout 2 on GOG instead of Steam if you can, the version on Steam is the censored European version that removes all the child characters and quite a bit of content with them (since you had the option to kill them in the game’s open world environment, despite the game heavily penalising child murder).

If turn-based combat and 90s graphics really repulse you (totally fair, I know they’re not everyone’s cup of tea), you could try playing the 3D games instead, which are essentially first-person RPGs with FPS elements. Fallout 3 is alright, the story isn’t that good, and the gunplay just feels a bit off, but the environments are really well-crafted and are fun to traverse.

If you have to play one Fallout game though, I would pick Fallout New Vegas. It’s mostly made by the guys who made the first two games, and they really really knocked the ball out of the park. It’s still got the slightly awkward gunplay of the third game, but everything else is really well done. The story especially is probably one of the best video game narratives I’ve experienced (putting it up there with those of Disco Elysium and Undertale).

I haven’t played Fallout 4, so I can’t really give you any recommendation there.

This isn’t even a Linux thing. You AI bros just fucking suck in general.

Odd. I run Fedora 39 as my daily driver (and Fedora 38 before that) with a 3060 ti and I’ve never had any problems with it on that scale.

To my knowledge, we’ll have to wait for proprietary drivers to support this, which will take a few months iirc

Seconding this. XWayland is literally unusable with my 3060 Ti, while I’ve been having very few problems with X11. Hopefully explicit sync support is added before Fedora 40 drops

We didn’t exactly stop the Nazis through polite conversation

I was on r/196, and that’s what the people from r/195 were saying

Hey there you could’ve taken two seconds to read my profile and seen I have my pronouns listed there instead of just misgendering me

I’m pretty sure neo-Nazis weren’t the reason r/195 shut down. It was just that after 420 weeks the owners decided to end “the experiment”.

I wasn’t on Reddit then though, so I wouldn’t know.

Today on things that didn’t happen

Ironically, Bill Gates actually recommended Ubuntu in an ad for the distro

First of all, this thread is like, a month old? Why even bother responding to me at this time?

Anyway, “dude” is rarely gender neutral. Here are the two main definitions on Wikitionary:

1. (chiefly US, Canada, colloquial) A man, generally a younger man.
2. (colloquial, used in the vocative) A term of address for someone, typically a man, particularly when cautioning them or offering advice.

So yeah, totally a gender neutral word. /sarcastic

And it’s pretty obvious where the dogwhistle is, calling someone with she/her pronouns clearly listed a “dude” in a disparaging tone. Going “oh but it’s a gender neutral term” has the exact same level of insufferable, bad-faith smugness as an edgy 14-year old claiming that the swastikas they’re scrawling on their desk are actually Buddhist symbols.

Do custom names not show in Memmy/Wefwef? It was part of her display name.

That’s a pretty nice self portrait there, I think you have a potential career as an artist

I always say that the second a liberal is criticised for being insensitive that they start sounding like a boomer Republican arguing on Facebook.

Thank you for proving that to the entire thread here.

“Anyone who disagrees with me is being paid by China or Russia”

lol. lmao, even.

No, we think you’re right wing transphobes because you throw us under the bus the second that caring about us is no longer trendy

Generally considering that “dude” is a somewhat masculine word, so using it to refer to someone with she/her pronouns in her username (implying that she doesn’t want to be referred to with male terms) without knowing if they’re okay with that word just makes you look like a piece of shit.

“Dude” can be gender neutral but given the context of it in your response it really fucking looks like a microaggression against her for being trans
