  • What I experienced is that Snaps/Flatpaks that contain X11 apps will behave very oddly in a Wayland sessions, at least with NVidia GPUs.

    Using distros that still use X11, like Linux Mint, seems to help a lot.

    One thing I will commend Snaps/Flatpak for however is bundling dependencies, especially deprecated ones. I spent DAYS trying to install an older version of .NET framework that’s no longer supported to get a game (Vintage Story), but to no avail. With the appropriate Snap/Flatpak it worked first try, well, once I found the distro that doesn’t have the X11 problem that was previously stated.


  • What makes it worse is that, as far as I know, the players trying it actually like the gameplay, but found the game itself to still be dull. The entire gameplay apparently was made solely on market analysis, with very little individual development taking place.

    I think this highlights an interesting phenomenon also seen in “The most wanted song” and “the most unwanted song”, two songs made by scientific research of people’s preferences of music, where “the most wanted song” sounds nice, but is rather bland whereas “the most unwanted song” sticks out much more, a trainwreck you can’t look away from, and is a good song in the same way “The Room” is a good movie.

    It seems it’s the flaws, the impurities, are what make games more interesting, more fun.


  • Or at least be sort of a monthly tax, in order to fund it. Generally however, I agree, especially since those who get caught not paying for those tickets after often those who can’t afford it, thus ending in a spiral that ultimately puts them in jail, thus costing the taxpayer more money. At least this is the case in Germany.


  • He actually considered abandoning the projects multiple times, mainly by hoping for a sign of God. However considering that none of his customers ever questioned the behemoth of a vehicle under a tarp and nobody told authorities about his strange behaviour, he saw it as God giving him the OK, as in his eyes, God would’ve acted upon his risky maneuvers to get caught.

    Dude really tried his best to convince himself to stop, yet Lady Luck seemed to have wanted otherwise.

    It’s also a miracle that he didn’t hurt a single soul, other than himself.
