The first creator I ever supported on patreon, still do. I really like the chill style and cool retro gear and projects. Knowing the collection of stuff he has, I hope his house isn’t too bad off, that would be really tough in addition to the property damage.

My read on what he and others were concerned about was that DA Origins introduced an aesthetic of low fantasy, dark and medieval themes. Many felt, including him, that the new characters felt like very generic MOBA-style designs that didn’t feel particularly at home in the DA world they hoped to see. Since some channels have gotten to play the game now the outlook seems to be changing with some creators saying the trailers and released material did a poor job of showing the overall art direction. Also, it seems fun, that helps. Keep in mind, a healthy concern over Bioware is very warranted these days.

I really can’t wait for this marketing fad to sputter out like NFTs etc.

Roll towards the target (except when you shouldn’t)?

Kruggsmash is so creative and cool. I don’t play DF, I bought a copy though because I love watching the stories it creates. I hope I’ll get into sometime, but just a little support in the meantime.

To be fair, this is far more accurate than 97% of the usages of “blasts” in a headline.

That’s the whole problem, Epic hasn’t approached the situation with the intention of being good faith competition. They have instead attempted to exclude competition by paying for platform exclusivity. That’s anti-consumer. As a consumer that annoys me. GOG is competition for Steam, they offer a genuine value via DRM free versions of the same games ALSO available on Steam. That leaves the choice in the buyers hands as to which platform offers a better value. It’s a big difference in my opinion.

Either way, Gaben’s not my dad (unfortunately), so I’ll do what I want! Sniiiiiffff

Just to add to this, I haven’t had much issue with my Nvidia setup. I selected a Fedora based distro called Nobara. It has a tool that popped up on first boot and guided me through the few clicks it took to install drivers for the 2080ti I had then. I have upgraded to a 4080 since and it was seamless. My driver’s are updated via the Nobara update manager and are about one revision behind the latest available from Nvidia.

I also heartily endorse the idea of a second drive. For me the old one is my windows install, which I almost never boot to, though it’s nice to have my old Skyrim install with it’s 900ish mods still intact. I’m still pretty new to Linux, but I’ve had a really good experience with Heroic Launcher, which I just for non-Steam games, mainly GOG stuff.
