I was shocked to find out that Balatro was like 80 MB to download. You don't need million-poly models and 8k textures to make an really good game. Granted, yeah it's a 2D game, but it's a beautifully-presented one.

Yep, same! It's probably a good thing that I didn't know the first thing about Z80 assembly or I'd have flunked hard 😂 I would have loved to make my own clone of Phoenix!

I did basically all those things, or very similar things, in TI-BASIC back in high school. I didn't care that they had already been done countless times; I had a blast figuring out how to make them work.

I dearly wish more people would try making basic programs that are 100% their own creation, even if it's some random string generator. It's more rewarding than they might think!

I haven't played Foundation, but since you're looking for laid-back and medieval, there's a really cozy looking game I want to try called Tiny Glade that apparently has no objectives. It seems to be a pure sandbox game.

Plus, if you like supporting devs who use smaller/less-well-known engines, this one runs on Bevy, a small Rust-based engine!

Inside which tank, methane or LOX?

Could also bolt a nice handle on the exterior for a sort of reverse Dr. Strangelove

My absolute favorite part is the near-unanimous expression of misery from all those commenting. We've all had a truly wretched encounter today

They must know that that's the case. Even if they blocked the entire internet in those states, porn would still be easily accessible. Blocking PornHub is just whacking a single mole in a huge field full of them.

At least they're wasting some of their time with this limp-dicked bullshit. Better than using it to pursue their broader, more sinister goals.

Wait, was Brexit just another Linux distro this whole time? 🙃

One of the reasons he'll always be one of my favorites is because he didn't take himself seriously and called many of his own filler jokes ridiculous. You could almost imagine him amongst the audience, laughing at himself on stage.

 

Let's assume we're not stopped at a traffic signal.

This is only anecdotal, but I heard once that you're not supposed to stop altogether, rather drive at a slower pace so as to let it pass quickly. The person said what was more important is that drivers don't make sudden changes to their behavior. An EMT driver can more safely maneuver if they don't have to predict what any one knucklehead will do the moment they get close.

If this is wrong or needs clarification, please enlighten me!

 

TL;DR: Have a very expensive laptop and want to make sure I can create a partition on two SSDs in RAID 0 without messing up everything.

Hi everyone!

I'm pretty new to Linux and I'd like to get Mint running on my Windows machine. I used Ubuntu way back in maybe 2010 and I didn't really get why it was so great, except for "holy shit look at the kickass desktop cube!" I also use Arch By The Way with my Steam Deck, but that barely counts as "using" Linux.

These days I'm much more privacy- and FOSS-minded (not to mention more tech-savvy and comfortable with the CLI since becoming a web dev) so I'm ready and excited to take it more seriously. I definitely want to keep Windows on here to keep a more reliable option for playing games.

Now to the meat and potatoes: my laptop came with this storage configuration (capture from the product page): From my limited understanding of RAID 0, the two m.2 drives are used as if they're one, with the data being "striped" across them. Would that lead to any issues when I create a primary partition for Mint? Maybe I'm just paranoid, but the last thing I want to do is ruin my laptop.

Here's what Disk Management shows, in case the additional info. is needed:

I would really appreciate any advice y'all can offer!
