  • I don’t know. I have a love-hate relationship with that game. I can’t stand playing most online PvP games anymore so I play their PvE mode and it is obvious that this mode doesn’t get any attention by the developers even for the most basic things.

    On one hand it does fantastic land-air battles when the game doesn’t screw you over. On the other they can’t be bothered to follow one of the most basic rules of game design that is to make sure the players don’t get spawned into an unfair, instant-death situation, let alone trapping them in a spawn-death loop. Whether you survive past your ridiculously short 3 second spawn immunity or not is purely a dice roll in that mode.



  • Because some Linux users are so tribal.

    I don’t even get the idea behind a “gaming” distro. Most major distros can run games just as well. The only difference that I can tell is just that they have Steam and maybe Nvidia’s proprietary drivers pre-installed. Something you can do yourself in under a minute after install.

    You will have to learn the very simple task of using your package manager to install programs sooner or later anyway and If you can install an OS on your own you can absolutely do the 5 second online search to find the command to install the NVidia proprietary drivers.

    To answer your question, yes. Or Mint, or Pop!, or Fedora, or OpenSUSE, or Zorin, or Ubuntu, or Cachy, or many more I’m probably forgetting. They all work. They have their pros and cons that might apply to your specific situation but more likely than not there are multiple good answers for you.



  • The countries were at peace before something caused them to escalate into a war. You can’t just declare that a war has ended by having a representative from each side sign a piece of paper and expect it to remain this way without addressing the root causes that lead to said war to begin with.

    But trying to understand the situation and finding ways to address those root causes requires far more work than Trump can be bothered with. He only cares about giving the impression that he did something.

    As usual, Trump has an overly simplistic view of the problem to match his abysmal level of understanding of it, and proposes equally simplistic solutions to it. He then declares he fixed it because of how much of a genius he is and then ignores the evidence that it didn’t work.












  • Shit like that is why AI is completely unusable for any application where you need it to behave exactly as instructed. There is always the risk that it will do something unbelievably stupid and the fact that it pretends to admit fault and apologize for it after being caught should absolutely not be taken seriously. It will do it again and again as long as you give it a chance to.

    It should also be sandboxed with hard restrictions that it cannot bypass and only be given access to the specific thing you need it to work on and it must be something you won’t mind if it ruins it instead. It absolutely must not be given free access to everything with instructions to not touch anything because your can bet your ass it will eventually go somewhere it wasn’t supposed to and break stuff just like it did there.

    Most working animals are more trustworthy than that.
