I’ll be honest with you for me personally I just don’t have the patience for the game. I just want to build my ship with whatever parts are in the game and explore. that’s it. I don’t want to mine resources, I don’t want to wait in some random station for some random ship to show up that MIGHT have the part I want. I don’t want to do any of that.

I barely made it out of the tutorial and forced my way through it.

Nothing wrong with NMS but I didn’t want to play it the way it made me play it. I just want to build in peace and explore.

oh they’re well aware but like the majority of first world nations, heaven forbid you upset Israel. Just look at the UK. you get arrested for even mentioning or wearing a t shirt with the P and/or G word.

well duh.

When it becomes impossible to afford to A. have a family B. hell even be in a relationship C. afford a home D. rent for the rest of your life and then struggle to pay rent or meet the annual rent increases and E. wages continue to stagnate there’s really not much of a point in living.

Add all this to the US healthcare system where if you get sick you essentially have to “hope for the best” or if it’s something incredibly serious you then become dependent on the kindness of strangers via a GoFundMe then yeah…it’s grim.

Examples: Virtua Racing on the Genesis or Star Fox on the SNES. they were slow and quite laggy. sure they were essentially pushing the limits of what the console could do and in the case of Star Fox had to have the FX chip in the cartridge but I wouldn’t call racing around on the Genesis in Virtua Racing a “smooth” experience.

Other games are like this too with loading. Mortal Kombat CD on the Sega CD. you get to the Shang Tsung fight and the game has to load every time he morphs. Other games would also slow to a crawl if there was a lot on the screen. To your point Ranger X on the Genesis had these little tadpole enemy things that could quickly populate the screen if you didn’t take them out quickly it would slow the game down. Same would happen on the PSX with the game Loaded.

ah this was EXACTLY what I was looking for! thanks!

nope just tried it, desktop app doesn’t work on my distro, can’t delete the account now as the deletion method via the website doesn’t work.

what alternative did you end up going with?

I had a script to convert my main Spotify playlist (5000+ songs) to download from soulseek but…yeah that would take a VERY long time and I really didn’t feel like being a soulseek asshole going that route.

If there was something out there where I can take my spotify playlist and just convert it and use it on another/better platform I’d switch right now.

When I first moved to linux I used Mint for a week and then moved to something else. As always by EVERYONE it was suggested to me as a “starter” distro and I really wish people would stop doing that.

I, like you, had issues with it. Sound issues, Wifi issues, GPU issues, and doing personal research and digging the consensus was always “it’s an issue with Mint.” I was about to go back to Windows 11 cause I was like “none of this linux shit works”

THEN I decided to try a different distro, CachyOS, and suddenly the sound was fixed, the wifi didn’t randomly drop out, and my GPU worked flawlessly. I’ve distro hopped since then and those Mint/Ubuntu issues never came back.

Try something other than Mint. if you still have the issues go back to Windows.

Square themselves. They’ve gone on record god knows how many times stating that Mods are not allowed in the game. full stop. even stating as much in Live streams for upcoming patches/expansions and Q&As. So the community freaking out now is sort of a “really? what did you expect?” type of deal.

so there’s a thing called XIVLauncher which is fanmade and is a MUCH better game launcher than the native one by Square. It downloads patches/installs WAY faster PLUS it has amazing Linux support. With the launcher comes something called Delamud or mod or whatever. this is essentially an in game mod browser allowing you to download mods for the game. You’re right that the majority of mods are UI based stuff or ease of life mods.

That being said there’s also the “other” mods. These mods can change the appearance of your characters model and gear. some VERY NSFW stuff. These mods are local side only so no other player is going to see your cat girl with Triple D tits.

Square has made a stance on mods in the game for years, a VERY known stance to the player base, that mods of any kind are NOT allowed and can result in a ban if you’ve been caught using them. The community has been playing on the edge with this and the fact that they’re mad about it NOW is silly. they KNOW the policy, Square has made it clear to them SEVERAL times, and they’ve chose to ignore it.

well they sure as fuck ain’t killing Hamas. Someone needs to update the wikipedia for this “war” to change it from Israel vs Hamas to Israel vs The Associated Press

Seriously, can’t remember the last time they killed Hamas en masse other than a single “commander” but they sure as hell are good at killing Journalists, blowing up hospitals, and butchering children.
