Are we going to get one of these threads every few days?

Bro you’re the one who made the system slow paced by defunding it during a pandemic.

Get the fuck out of here. I’m so sick of the cons. Buck a beer is not going to help me when I’m in dire need of medical assistance.

Not without tinkering, but isn’t that always the case with Linux?

They made more Voyager, it just also happens to have kids in it.

I think it’s not bad, but it takes some getting over the hump like most Treks. The initial start is kinda childish but once the stakes are laid out and the adults show up, it takes off and is a really fun story over the two seasons.

Well, the problem is honestly just Windows. It’s not designed for mobile or touch interfaces at all, and all the telemetry and crap bloatware degrades the battery performance. If you get rid of all of that stuff it’s actually on par with the Linux equivalent.

I dual boot my Ally and I actually spent time messing around with different OSes. ChimeraOS was not ready when I had initially given it a shot (around March) and it crashed constantly and didn’t have full support for things like RGB. I also tried Bazzite at that time and it was a similarly strange experience. It’s gotten much better in the last few months. I’ve been running Bazzlite on my Ally since early July. HHD has progressed immensely and offers a lot of good control over the device.

If you start off with the IoT version of Windows, it comes with essentially nothing. The store app isn’t installed, but neither is Teams or Paint. You don’t actually have to spend time “debloating” it, since it comes more or less bloat-free. You actually have to spend more time installing dependencies and drivers than removing things. Run the telemetry disabling script and then you have a version of Windows that still sucks to use in general, but is much less awful on battery life.

Bazzite is fine. It’s serviceable enough to get the job done. The hardware is supported through a bunch of different emulation tools and bespoke applications like HandHeld Daemon for hooking into power draw and managing extra buttons.

Bazzite is based on the Holographic base that SteamOS uses, but opts for a Fedora-based immutable back-end over Arch. Running SteamOS itself is going to be better once Valve implements native support for all of these things that are covered by HandHeld Daemon, at least in theory.

Due to the non-optimal nature of both Windows and Linux at this stage, they tend to perform about equally.

I get that the Fediverse is disproportionately made up of Linux users, but the reality right now is just that no operating system is fine-tuned for the hardware its running on besides SteamOS and the Deck itself. It’s not better yet, but it’s getting better at a massive clip - which is above and beyond whatever Microsoft is doing (looks like nothing) to improve their software for the form factor.

They mentioned they might be making community testing servers. I think that would make all the difference.

It also doesn’t help that they apparently test on level 5 and a lot of us are playing 6-10.

I tuned into the live stream the other day to get the orange armor and it was massively painful watching the devs play the game worse than your friends. Watching them try to deal with chargers by mag dumping them in the head was kind of infuriating. Apparently the “peel the leg” meta is not obvious? They said something about thinking the easiest way to kill a charger was to attack the head, which is for sure not the case.

Tentacles make it worse. I’ve just been juggled by them for like 30 seconds or more at a time. If you get hit by one and ragdoll into another, you just bounce around until the game decides you’re allowed to play it again.

When those things spawn on the extract, it gets 10x more difficult, even on top of bile titans and chargers.

I have to respectfully disagree. I think that the breaker nerf was massive. I don’t find it fair at all. They should have nerfed the outgoing damage rather than make it impossible to actually use as a primary. 4 mags is functionally nothing. My friends run supply backpacks pretty often and I just kept hearing a chorus of “damn, you’re out of ammo again?”

I switched to the Slugger and it’s just a better weapon all-around, even with the changes. The recoil is heavy but the armor pen is choice against everything. Mag size is fine, single reload is great because you can’t fuck that up, and when it hits you feel the punch.

Flamethrower nerf is a huge travesty. Makes me really upset overall. It was the only tool consistently good at clearing chargers.

Well, I think the performance issues were definitely understated. I know the patch notes said “we have stability issues in difficulty 10” but we went for it anyway, and it feels like not a single match goes by without at least one person disconnecting or crashing.

Additionally it makes zero sense to have nerfed fire and then put out an all fire-based battle pass. That was going to lose them points. It’s not like the flamethrower was particularly good at anything besides burning bugs to a crisp, and now none of it is good for anything.

Ferengi Basics Genesis Device. Half price compared to the original!

You calling somebody out publicly is entirely to illicit a reaction from the crowd. Surely, a direct message would have been more appropriate for a disagreement over a series of downvotes?

By doing this publicly you’ve definitely made the situation way, way worse than it had to be.

I disagree with bringing in more redditors to this site. I think the community ambassador system is a quick way of creating a bunch of powermoderators on a system that’s supposed to be designed to resist that kind of behavior and centralization.

If you hate being downvoted because of disagreement, why would you want to bring more users who default to that behavior?

I also do not believe you should have any more power or capacity in the fediverse. It’s clear to me by your behavior in this thread that even basic things like being downvoted can set you off and make you decide to try to start a witch hunt.

Reddit promoted “downvote to disagree” and this is a consequence of the userbase having migrated from there.

You can say whatever you want about how it should work, but the bottom line is that most people using vote-based systems are voting up and down based on if they agree with what’s posted. It hasn’t been “downvote for off-topic” for over a decade.

This guy wants to bring more redditors to the site, the people actively perpetuating downvote to disagree.

Well, you are resorting to actively aggressive behavior in response to internet points.

Can you please explain why it matters?

It’s so weird to keep track of that, and petty on both sides if it has been happening for months like you say.

I also think you are placing way too high importance on vote counts, and specifically pinging people is not the way to handle your disapproval.

I am not catloaf but I have a problem with people literally combing vote logs to call users out in comments. That’s toxic verging on obsessive.

Absolutely not the way to act as the face of a project. It accomplishes nothing besides making you look incredibly petty and dissuades people from supporting your work.
