that's a shame. i'm not going to force it on you if you don't enjoy the experience, but i will say that there are no mechanical progress gates at all in Outer Wilds, no intended order to do things in, and multiple interleaving threads to pull on. if you get stuck in one place, going to another may let you learn how to proceed. if it feels like you're missing something, you probably are, and going somewhere else may help you find it.
it's been my game of the year five years running, if that means anything. the dlc only cemented that position even more.

It's the 2022 expansion for Outer Wilds, which released in 2019. Just as much a masterpiece as the first entry. if you know nothing, you owe it to yourself to play them.

i was six years old when the first halloween event happened in this country. it was imported here in the nineties by a costume shop. it's an explicitly consumerist thing here and i do not understand why anyone here cares for it.

don't use balenaetcher, it's a terrible piece of software. use unetbootin or usbimager.

well there are seven books in the series, and i think only books two through five have been made into films? anyway, in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader only the two younger children return. in The Last Battle however, the eldest son is back but the eldest daughter is not.
neil gaiman wrote a short story about why.

honestly i think it's an age range thing.

minecraft server binaries are a prime example of a "dedicated server". tf2 is another. the alternative is a "listen server", where one player acts as server. note that the term's use in gaming has very little to do with the concept of a dedicated server in general use, aka a machine dedicated to running a service. in multiplayer games a dedicated server is just the name for a binary that contains no client.
anyway, the important distinction is whether the means for the game to continue existing is in the hands of the players or the company.

the common understanding of "dedicated server" is a server binary you can download and run yourself. a "private server" is usually still hosted on the company's hardware.

dedicated servers == player-hosted servers, usually

the wing commander series was famous for inflated development costs, freelancer was repeatedly delayed and eventually released like five years after it's announcement, and since then... he's been working on star citizen

did they ever remaster the first game? don't think it's in the sequels anyway

yeah, in aoe1 there's a laser gun guy ("photon man"), a car that shoots rockets, archers that look like trees when standing still and can walk on water, and a catapult that fires cows

pdfs don't have a hard-set text size, and cbr/cbz is just a bunch of jpegs in a rar or zip file, respectively. the first one is a non-issue if you reflow and the second one can be zoomed in to. granted, neither is ideal, but it's workable.
personally i've kept it to comics in pocket format.

personally i enjoyed the attempts to "ai over" the really bad-on-purpose ones because that just made the ai fuck up even harder. it becomes performance art at that point.
I have two monitors, one 1440x3440 and one 1080x1920 to its right. Every boot, the desktop on my left monitor moves over and displays on top of the right one. Killing and restarting plasmashell moves it to where it should be, but i'd love to fix this without adding that to my .xsession. Thing is, i'm not versed enough in the KDE internals to know where this issue even stems from. I'm running EndeavourOS with Plasma 6.1.5 on X11. I haven't tried wayland since Plasma 6 switched to it and then promptly flickered itself into a crash. **Edit:** This machine runs the amdgpu-pro driver, and has done since before plasma 6 released. i didn't have this problem on plasma 5.
