Yeah honestly Eternal should've been a Quake reboot using the new engine rather than a Doom sequel. Everything about it felt like Quake.

Meh. I was really hoping they'd go back to the sci-fi aesthetic of 2016 but instead they've doubled down on the weird high fantasy with guns thing.

It's like they actually wanted to reboot Heretic/Hexen but they couldn't get the license for it so they've just shoehorned it into Doom instead.

I can't stop chuckling. Needed that, thanks!

I think it depends what the price is. If they can make the experience compelling enough while (heavily) undercutting the Steam Deck then they may be onto a winner.

... Though being in the console market people will make comparisons to the Switch, so that might be their target price point.

I think Labour has already pledged not to raise taxes, but let's play devil's advocate and pretend that they were going to slap a £2000 on everyone of working age.

Doing some fuzzy maths based on statistics I can find online from 2 years ago, that's roughly 45 million people, or £90 billion a year. Or to put in into the Brexit campaign's favourite terms, £1.7 billion per week going into public coffers.

I'm not suggesting such a flat structure would actually make sense as a policy, but that maybe tax rises as a concept aren't always a universally bad thing.

Unless you're hosting VHDs and need maximum throughput (in which case use NFS), SMB is going to be the easiest to setup and maintain across those 4 platforms.

The Linux SMB implementation is decent and supports the latest version of the protocol (or close to, at least) whereas NFS in Windows ain't so great and is a bit of a pig to get working in my experience.

Thirded. It's helped me a lot with picking up the compose syntax, to the point that I'm now comfortable combining disparate services into their own stacks. And I can spin something up from an example compose in less than a minute.

Dammit, really?

Other than the weirdly janky CG, which was both excellent in some parts while ruining my suspension of disbelief in others, I enjoyed it. No, it wasn't as good as Fury Road but, let's face it, that bar is so high it's almost stratospheric.

Thanks, I'll muse over this when I next get the chance!

Was looking into Docker volume backups just yesterday so this is perfect timing!
