If you game, and especially if you use nvidiva, I'd recommend Pop!_OS or Nobara.

Nope. Been working just fine for a few years now. Can't see them suddenly just breaking it.

There are plenty of reasons to avoid Tesla, like the fact that it took 11 months to repair my car because Tesla isn't making enough spare parts. Or the fact that Elon Musk is a fascist asshole. I will certainly not be buying another Tesla at this point. But software? No.

And to be clear, every car manufacturer has an "autopilot" like system now. It's not just a Tesla thing.

I'm here looking to see if I need to bring my car in and it turns out it's just a software update that already happened. Wow, such news...

Oh yeah, I forgot about this one. Good call, definite stinker. Shame, would have loved an Arkham spiritual successor.

The only one that really sticks out is Starfield. Most other games I played I knew what I was getting into. For some reason Starfield surprised me, probably because it was on Gamepass (so effectively free) and because I trusted Bethesda. Oh well.

Considering the number of great games this year, that's not too bad.

Never heard of it, but I'll be sure to keep away in the future, thx.

If you're not doing anything crazy, there's no reason linux should be any harder to use than Windows.

Once you're up and running, daily life will be pretty straightforward.

Plenty of great advice in the other posts that I won't rehash. One thing I didn't see mentioned is using a live boot to try out linux. You can basically run it off a USB stick before you install it to get a feel for what it's like. Most "beginner friendly" distros will have tutorials on how to create the live disk. Example for Pop!_OS: https://support.system76.com/articles/live-disk/

The MOBA genre is based off a mod for Warcraft 3 called Defense of the Ancients. DotA, being a mod, had lots of "quirks" (aka bugs) in the game play that kind of just became part of the flavor of the game. LoL was the first standalone MOBA, based off DotA and (iirc) developed by some of the people who worked on the original mod. LoL was designed as a standalone game but it recreated all the quirks of the mod because they were believed to be so important to the game.

Blizzard, when they made HotS, looked at some of the wonky, quirky things and said "This is dumb, let's strip that out and make it simpler." The result is a MOBA that's just as fun but less complex. I really enjoyed it a lot for that reason.

Oh yeah, I forgot they added an official ARAM mode. Back when I played, it was a custom game thing and kinda honor system to stay in the middle lane. I played it a lot before I quit for the low stress environment. Kinda want to check it out now. Shame/not-shame I can't because I'm on linux.

People were begging for auto-mute back when I was playing. I realize that it's a team game and they don't want to discourage communication but they were well aware of the toxicity. They implemented the Tribunal system to try to address it. Didn't do much in the short term. Glad rito caved on the auto-mute.

[–] Stillhart@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Possible you're in a noobie bracket where they keep you away from experienced players so you can learn with less stress... and get into the game before you realize how toxic it can be. :-D

But glad it's good so far! It really is a fun game. I played for a couple years despite all the toxicity so yeah.

Is that game still the poster child for toxic gamers? Been years since I played but I would never let my kid play that game.

It's sad because it is pretty fun when you get into it and when you have people to play with. But it really only takes one person to ruin a match for nine other people by trolling/feeding/etc. I ended up quitting because it was just WAY too toxic.

The shit people used to say in that game... like nothing I've heard in any other game. Literally talking about

spoilerraping people
like that's somehow acceptable shit talking. Curious if it's gotten any better... it certainly couldn't have gotten any worse.
