  • I like it. If you have a good group to play with its a fun PvE shooter. The overall mechanics were really thought out so almost everything feels good in the game.

    Accidentally team killing is also practically a core mechanic so that’s a lot of fun. Its not like other games where its mostly the noob that team kills, no player no matter how skilled is free from an accidental TK. Makes a tk more funny than anything.














  • Polonium

    Hm I’m not sure if that’d really give me what I’m looking for. I know its certainly possible to configure KDE and Polonium to get me 90% there but I think I’d rather just have a normal floating setup I can switch to if need be. I’d need to remap a significant amount of keyboard shortcuts that would stop making sense in the context of a full floating DE.

    I really just want a very fast app launcher like dmenu, dynamic tiling, and monitor independent workspaces. I have a particular setup using certain alpha keys for my workspace.

    I never really enjoyed the experience of tacking things onto an existing DE and having to mess with UI configuration. I’ve been really loving XMonad for a few setups and my ideal wm would be something that’s extremely low power and low fluff. Even if I only eek out 10% more battery life, breaking the 10hr mark is more valuable to me than most bells and whistles.

    I’m just really lazy. I could load up my xmonad setup in 20 minutes but I wanted to see the state of wayland and that requires learning a new wm’s configuration quirks.


  • I’ve been using gnome as a “base” DE for years, what that means is I install it, then install my tiling wm and use all the gnome utilities.

    I recently had to set up a few new machines and decided to try KDE on a couple and I’m really enjoying it. I haven’t even gotten around to installing a tiling wm because I want to learn a wayland option and that’ll take some time. I haven’t ran into pain points listed here but one thing I like is when I want to do X, there’s usually already something ready to do X for me. Years of gnome and I felt like the devs were always fighting me. I haven’t really used a full gnome setup in a few years though, but I know the “mommy knows best” attitude is still prevalent with the devs.


  • I don’t believe these are even techbros anymore.

    These guys all seem like unserious hangers-on to what they think techbros are like. I really think they’re either children, or adults who keep the bong cleaner in their bong when they hit it.

    They like the aesthetics of tech so they repeat a lot of buzzwords they hear but I think their extent of tech usage is like, installing a theme on Opera GX or buying a 3d printer kit that they put together incorrectly and just tell everyone they’ll get around to fixing it.

    These people have always existed in other forms. They’re like guys who do car repair with drywall screws
