I definitely prefer the original, although the AAF version is right in the nostalgia sweet spot for me.

It’s basically a linux distro that’s meant to appeal to Windows users who want to keep the Windows look and feel.

In other words, blasphemy in this church.

Thanks, that’s good to know. I’ve been curious about going with a tiling window manager for a while now.

Looks great. Kind of looks like the type of OS that they would make up for a movie about hackers. :D

Do you use i3 exclusively? Or do you have a more typical desktop environment for web browsing and such? And, if it’s the former, how do you like it?

Very clean! Also I had not heard of cava before, I’ll have to check that out.

WELL I guess that means I’m not that unique after all.

edit: Wait, “sinus cavity” does not mean “nostril.” Nevermind, slightly different.

I mean, a rusty USB port is pretty on-point here. It’s not often that the perfect stock photo pun exists, you have to take it when you get the chance.

Nice, glad to hear that the original, non-remastered Crysis is available! If I remember right, Crysis Remastered is actually an update to the console port of Crysis, and the console versions simplified how your powers activate, making it easier to do on a controller.

Same here. The FUTO keyboard seems to have the best swiping feature among open source keyboards.

There’s a photo of the back of the case here, which describes how to use it: https://immich.store/products/immich-retro

So it sounds like it’s a bootable Linux image, with Immich already set up on it.

I love the fact that they produced an installation DVD.

Wait, really? I looked at it on the piefed instance I’m using and also on lemmy.world.

I’m not, and I’ve enjoyed the process of finding my own music again. I started buying music CDs; there’s a used bookstore near me with a giant shelf of CDs for $1 each. I set up a music server (I chose Funkwhale, although Navidrome seems to be the more popular choice) that I upload everything to, so I can still stream things, it’s just from my own server. And I bought an MP3 player.

I agree, but I think that says a lot about how good the atmosphere in this level was. Gameplay-wise, it really isn’t as interesting as the rest of the game. And yet, everyone was talking about the Scarecrow parts back when this game came out, and it’s still a memorable part of the game.

I think it helps that you won’t die too many times at this part. If it was a platformer section and you had to keep replaying it, people would remember it negatively. (Kind of like how people always hate the puzzle sections in action games.) But instead, they gave this part a great presentation, and you can get through it fairly quickly, so the gameplay didn’t really leave a bad taste in your mouth.

I love this version of Scarecrow, probably one of the best iterations of the character. Although he was creepy as hell in Arkham Knight, too.

Also…

I bet it is. I haven’t played it in a few years, although I just replayed the sequel – Arkham City – earlier this year and it was still great. Arkham City added quite a few game mechanics on top of Arkham Asylum, but I bet Asylum is still fun. Most people agree that Asylum had the best atmosphere, too.

Your misinterpretation is WAY more accurate than you realize, lol. Obsidian gained an almost cult-like following very quickly. It has made people obsessively document their day. They are hooked on it. Obsidian turned journaling into a drug. If a hardcover notebook is a fine cigar, Obsidian is a vape. You know who won’t like me saying that? People who vape. They don’t want to be compared to Obsidian users.

Oh nice! I only got into it a little more than a year ago, but I’ve seen highlight clips of him.

If you’re interested, NHK has replays of current matches in a youtube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwq27hqSiIM&list=PLFEzXnIQVwV9JgQkOMJZM23G8g-wBBWKf

Sumo wrestling. OK, it definitely has more fans than “basically nobody,” although it’s not exactly popular in the west. I have noticed a couple of people talking about it on Mastodon, and there’s a community at [email protected].

A while ago I stumbled upon a TV broadcast one night when I couldn’t sleep, and immediately found it interesting. Now I intentionally watch them live when I can, and otherwise catch replays the next day. A very exciting tournament just wrapped up a few days ago. The next one is in November.

This is a 10/10 YSK tip. I haven’t had to untangle my headphones or charging cable after I learned this.

Here is the same trick with a smaller cable, probably more like what most of us are coiling up every day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fsvANAT3yg&t=160s (start at 2:40)
