I am fine going on IRC to bug the devs about needed updates but most users should not have to do that

2018-07-14 20:49:32 UTC  

Ok the easiest way to explain Linux is it's a free collection of software needed to run a computer

2018-07-14 20:49:41 UTC  

watching this hichhicker dude and needed to take this one out of context https://clips.twitch.tv/GeniusSuccessfulHeronKlappa

2018-07-14 20:49:45 UTC  

A desktop environment is just different "GUI's"

2018-07-14 20:50:05 UTC  

And people get caught up in that instead of making actually useful software to run in the gui

2018-07-14 20:50:32 UTC  

linux is a software ecosystem with so many choices that you'll never feel entirely confident that you picked the right one and will spend the rest of your life obsessing over whether or not you have the ideal user experience

@addis.ababa >top tier performance for 5 years

2018-07-14 20:50:43 UTC  

what a joke

2018-07-14 20:51:02 UTC  

is this jeopadry

2018-07-14 20:51:02 UTC  

and you'll never know for sure because most of the tools take years of habituation to use optimally (keyboard interfaces with manual configuration) and you've already picked up new tools before you got to use them properly for more than a few routine tasks

2018-07-14 20:51:07 UTC  

what is a joke

2018-07-14 20:51:09 UTC  

Deepin does have lightly outdated repos but most software I use offers their own repos anyways

2018-07-14 20:51:24 UTC  

thinking that you can buy hardware that will still have top tier gaming performance in 5 years

2018-07-14 20:52:00 UTC  

top tier gaming performance is a fucking meme when you just end up playing stuff like Enter the Gungeon half the time anyways

2018-07-14 20:52:08 UTC  

Or emulating Megaman

2018-07-14 20:52:22 UTC  

unmodded Morrowind at 4k 320fps 😩

2018-07-14 20:52:28 UTC  

😩 😩 😩 😩 😩

2018-07-14 20:52:44 UTC  

Now I can replay that game I enjoyed perfectly fine on an Xbox but smoother

2018-07-14 20:53:03 UTC  

morrowind's replay value is actually insane

2018-07-14 20:53:44 UTC  

once you realize the whole story was just michael kirkbride's gnostic autism spilling over into a fantasy universe where he can shit on the catholic church and the demiurge through the power of 3D prose

2018-07-14 20:54:27 UTC  

"wait a second, why does every mission in the main quest require me to read a ton of lore"

2018-07-14 20:54:29 UTC  

it all makes sense now

2018-07-14 20:54:54 UTC  

That's a hot take

2018-07-14 20:55:08 UTC  

tfw obsidian will never ever make a new fallout game

2018-07-14 20:55:20 UTC  

tfw Bethesda will never make a new Fallout game

2018-07-14 20:55:29 UTC  

💯 💯 💯 💯

2018-07-14 20:55:31 UTC  

@Cad I can substantiate everything

2018-07-14 20:55:47 UTC  

he admitted on reddit to being a gnostic christian and the parallels are striking in the story

2018-07-14 20:56:10 UTC  

if you learn about gnostic mythology literally _everything_ has a counterpart in TES lore

2018-07-14 20:56:27 UTC  

That's one of my favorite things to do when shitposting on 4chan, take somebody's logic and substantiate it to the point of being hilarious

Like when people say memes are psyops and you play along and turn every meme into a psyop and get people legitimately scared of meme boogeymen

2018-07-14 20:56:53 UTC  

this isn't just an absurd train of thought for the lulz though, it was actually kirkbride's intention in every way

2018-07-14 20:58:25 UTC  

Gangweed for example, was made to make fun of gamergaters and prevent that from happening again by associating them with edgelords and shaming them for it, giving an easy call-out of "WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY" to shut down any political commentary from /v/ nerds

To 4chan it looks like 'Those fedora autists from Facebook meme groups' but to literally everybody else on the internet? It's those guys. Those mysoginist internet nerds.

2018-07-14 20:58:36 UTC  

and there are some parts where he got lazy with the name changes and made it obvious. like how the "Apographa" are the documents proving Nerevar's betrayal at the hands of the Tribunal, nothing like the Christian Apocrypha that prove Jesus was a gnostic and betrayed by the Catholic Church.

This reminds me of the Manga Messiah book I found at a local bookstore

2018-07-14 21:00:18 UTC  

Had me laughing my ass off at every page

2018-07-14 21:00:54 UTC  

Jesus when he reappears from the cave literally *teleports behind somebody* and says "Looking for somebody"?

2018-07-14 21:01:06 UTC  

heh

2018-07-14 21:01:25 UTC  

there are actually references in some translations of the bible to Jesus being able to walk through walls and appear in several places at the same time

2018-07-14 21:01:44 UTC  

He was just the flash
