Latest mesa + plasma 6.1.1 = janky as well

Window dodging recently broke on me so I can't dodge windows on any of the panels properly anymore, was working great on 6.1. Certain windows will cause the desktop to lock up and I can't click on any windows or icons in the panel task manager. The global menu only works half the time now. I'm getting severe mouse cursor stuttering on a 120Hz display on the desktop, certain games running proton that were fine before have micro stutter. It's been a pretty terrible experience on the AMD side recently.

Xbox as a console is pretty much a dead platform, Xbox as a brand is still kicking and successful. That's kind of how I feel, if you want a console then you're better off buying a PlayStation but if you have hardware already and just want games then Xbox has a good platform with gamepass.

Hal effect or GTFO

So what happened to Blackroom? I'd love to know what happened to that game and the fallout of them pulling the Kickstarter. He clearly moved on to sigil but man I really think he could make a cool new IP with gzdoom if he actually tried, instead of just living in the past with sigil.

I use an Anker USB hub with power delivery and it's completely hot swappable, I would be incredibly surprised if the official dock wasn't.

If they upgraded to Wayland they would have to rework their streaming protocol to function with Wayland and probably several other things need to be reworked. I use plasma 6 with Wayland on my endeavor install, but I still can't use discord streaming or steam in home streaming without problems. The x11 to Wayland video bridge by the kde devs isn't even updated to work properly.

I've looked at revolt and well, when I tried using it it was filled with less than reputable individuals. I don't remember specifics but I remember noping the fuck off revolt real quick. If you want text chat, try matrix, if you want voice well, then idk what to say other than discord, team speak or guilded. Guilded is pretty cool, I actually like the client way better than discord but my friends all use discord and guilded isn't a huge platform. It is backed by the Roblox company so you at least know it's gonna be supported, but then again, it's the Roblox company...

Because no one wants to learn something new like postgres, vendors haven't adopted other databases platforms other than SQL, and licensing is absolutely stupid expensive for SQL, so most companies just stay on what they currently run. It costs money to hire new employees who know other databases types, and it costs money to train current employees, it's just an absolutely stupid vicious cycle Microsoft has created. The barrier of entry for new versions of SQL is so high, that it's just not worth the hassle and the price.

It doesn't need to go back to any era, it just needs to be good. I swear the Bioware hatred over the years could be some kind of case study for the mentally unstable. Everyone got butt-hurt over mass effect 3 and never let Bioware live it down.

They've made one absolute shit game in Anthem, and yes I like Andromeda and love inquisition, and all of a sudden they're the worst company alive. Bungie has had more fuck ups than Bioware and they get a pass every time.

Blizzard literally harasses women to the point of taking their own lives and they get a pass because "muh WoW is too valuable!". Still pissed no one is in jail for that bullshit, that woman's family needs some form of justice and it won't ever happen.

Who cares if it's not like baldurs gate 3? If it's good then just enjoy the damn game, that's what it is, a video game.

To be fair, if it weren't for pillars of eternity obsidian wouldn't be around today. It's a well known fact they've been in the situation of facing a studio closure multiple times. Fergus is well accustomed to these closures from all the way back at black Isle studios and interplay. I would imagine Microsoft is a much more reliable safety net than interplay every was.

This is why every PC should at the very least have a dual boot config these days with a Linux distro. Ubuntu, fedora, mint, pop, mx, it doesn't matter, take back your PC and have some kind of fallback in case Microsoft fucks your shit up, even Steve from gamers Nexus is considering ditching Windows for their office computers.

Wtf was that....? I'm going to reserve judgement until we see some gameplay but damn that trailer was filled with cliche modern marvel movie bullshit.

I'm a 37 year old IT Cloud Engineer, I have a great job, great house, love my family, but recently I lost my dad to cancer after a 16 year battle. My brother likes to say cancer had to cheat to win, it was all because he broke his back and had to be taken off his treatments for to long. Cancer is a fickle bitch...

Prior to losing my dad, I lost my best friend, who apparently dropped dead in his backyard. I don't know the specifics and frankly I don't want to know. Either way, these events effected me, and I started having massive panic attacks and anxiety issues, constantly afraid for my health even though there's nothing wrong with me. It took a few months of therapy to realize I needed medical help.

I was put on antidepressants and everything changed, I was a human again for the first time in like a decade. I was happy, I was successful, but now, idk if I'm just having a midlife crisis, or if maybe I'm just feeling depressed again, but I just feel lost. I've lost one of the few people in my life I've modeled my success after, my father, I lost the other person I could hang out with and empathize with, I have my wife and I love her to death, but my friend had been that person that was just there to hang out and make you feel better, and now they're gone. I'm still struggling to cope and it's just really hard and I need a place to vent.

Anyone have any ideas on how to cope and move on as well as control the anxiety without the need to be medicated?

TL;DR: Lost my dad and my best friend in the course of two years and it's been rough. Now I feel lost and confused constantly. Cloudy brain and I just don't want to be complacent in life and need some advice. Thanks for reading.

Edit: just wanted to say thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I'm going to take the advice I've been given here to heart and try some new things to try and give me some direction. Thank you all again so much for the help, it really made me feel a lot better.

 

OpenMW is an excellent version of Morrowind and arguably probably the best.

 

Not sure if this is allowed but MT seems to be one of the more influential streamers for the game and I find his takes to be pretty accurate.
