Hey! I'm way left of Democrats, so I really don't understand Republican talking points... Could you give an example of ones you would say are valid? It would do me some good to know they aren't just out to cause suffering.

Non-political meme huh? I recognize the political compass when I see it.

Auth Right void will tread on you, Lib Right void doesn't want to be tread on, Auth left void will sit on you, and Lib left void just wants to be seen.

Okay... I'm lost. Is the lie that he's a knucklehead? Or is it that he's a great guy? Or is "More Lies! Lies! Lies!" a suggestion?

Someone help! The election is soon and I won't know who to vote for if this isn't answered quickly!

A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.

This sort of comes down to the classic debate of "Depth vs Quality of Life". To quote Steak Bently in his excellent video essay on Metal Gear Solid 4:

Depth of game play, to boil it down, is usually defined by the number of ways a player can approach any given scenario. More tools with more unique properties. More hardcore players tend to value depth more and consider additional depth to be generally how you measure improvement in game play.

But more casual players value ease of play and think additional depth and challenge at the cost of accessibility is more of a downgrade. Hence why the general public considers Bayonetta 2 a straight upgrade from Bayonetta 1, but the crazy combo junkies don't like it as much.

Morrowind's mechanics have a level of depth that vastly exceeds Skyrim's in almost every conceivable way, but is often referred to as "janky" and "clunky". Skyrim's mechanics are far more intuitive accessible, but is often referred to as "shallow as a puddle". Which of these you prefer will largely dictate which game you think has the "better" mechanics.

I've watched multi hour video essays that have failed to make this point so well. Morrowind truly was where the series peaked.

And now we find ourselves at the beginning of the meme.

Also, I find "people are greedy" to be an uncompelling reason to support a system that incentivizes greed and exploitation. If people bending a system to benefit themselves is a problem, then the system should be designed to be resistant to this, in a way that incentivizes promoting the common good. Or at the very least shouldn't encourage these problems.

Capitalism encourages these problems.

But it's also not like the person who runs the whatevers has to be beholden to shareholders and profits. They could instead be incentivized to prioritize the collective well being of the workers.

And for that matter, politicians and the bureaucracy also live in a system that incentivizes (to the tune of millions in bribes) them to prioritize the interests of businesses owners, and thusly shareholders and profits, at the cost of the common good. Which is a major reason they can't be trusted.

How much of a problem it is will vary by how much it impacts and upsets a customer. For you, sounds like it's not that big of an issue.

But the fact that they pulled out the "review bombing" exscuse means that it qualifies as a problem to a significant percentage of customers.

Neat! That certainly does explain a lot!

You're not wrong (cherry picking a little though), and I get that there is more nuance and some exceptions to the generalization. But there certainly is a lot of overlap between Slave Owning and Republican States. Enough that one would be justified in at least wondering if there was a correlation.

I dunno, I think it's a bit more clever and less desperate than that. The teacher knows the kids are saying it a lot. Getting them to even lightly associate it with their learning objectives will help at least some kids academically. Mnemonics are stronger when they are memorable and repeatable after all.

There is no way the teacher thinks this will make learning "cool". And the fact that co-opting it speeds up the process that skibidi will become "uncool" is probably just a fringe benefit to the teacher. Really, it's a masterclass in psychology, a win-win.

Somehow I think everyone missed your joke...

I did just that.... and now I spend the same amount of time browsing Lemmy on Firefox...

Though there was like 4 days where I cut down...

So if a cheater wins hard enough, it can be called "fair and square"? Not sure what specifics could get me on board with that.

Perhaps, but with all of the voter suppression and election rigging that has been done by the Republicans, can you really say he won "fair and square" at this point?

"I am the one who must have been the wind!"

I could have too... If I was invited.

Seconding this. And as another lemming said, moving a working setup from a Windows system can make your life easier. But once you have MO2 running, most mods can just be installed in it like normal. Though SteamOS makes it more trouble than its with to auto download mods via mod manager. Easier just to use the manual download option and then manually install it. (I set my MO2 downloads folder to be ~/Downloads to make my lifer easier on this)

Also, there is a Linux specific version of the 4GB patch. You have to make it executable and run it in the terminal to actually get it to patch.

You can run things like the BSA decompressor using proton tricks.

Or you can just run the 4GB patch and the BSA decompressor on a windows install and then copy the whole FNV folder over to your deck (overwriting files). That works too.

If you are a TTW kind of guy, do that on Windows, making it an installable mod, and then just copy that over. And do it before the BSA decompressor, or you will need to make a clean install of FNV.

Honestly, if you install MO2 using the link Headbangerd17 linked above, you can pretty much just follow the Viva New Vegas gude. Just use protontricks for the BSA decompressor and the Ultimate ESM fixes things, and the linux specific 4gb patch. Or again, do all of it on Windows and copy over the game folder and the MO2 folder.

P.S. Its possible to get a complete setup on the deck alone, but if you go that route, it will save a lot of time to plug in a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Or pair it to your work computer via SteamLink and do it while you're supposed to be working.

P.P.S xLODGen can be added to MO2 and run on Linux just like it can on Windows. Though the SteamDeck does take a long time to actually generate LOD, so best to do it in chunks to make sure it looks good. It's really sad when all the rocks look like stretched buildings after you waited for all worldspaces to generate. Trust me.
