Yeh, Road Rash was the fucking shit, it was all downhill since then.

I miss Blackberry a lot but this ain’t it.

Heading Out is a driving game where you are trying to make it across the country and there are lots of branching stories and paths based on your choices and who you meet along the way. It is quite stylised and really had me hooked when I first played it. Definitely worth a try! The end was quite memorable.

Keep Driving is a driving / road trip simulator. This one didn’t click as well with me and I couldn’t really get into it but it also had different paths and stories based on your different choice etc and may be worth checking out for you.

Was gonna say Noita, great game but unforgiving as fuck!

That is because Vans are trash, they aren’t skateboard shoes they are fashion shoes that are marketed as skateboard shoes.

If you buy some proper shoes designed for skating they should last a bit better. I presume if you are riding brakeless then you mostly have issues with the soles, like I do braking when skating.

I have had good luck with Osiris, Es and Globe in the last few years but at the end of the day applying such aggressive friction you are always gonna burn through shoes fast than you would by just walking.

My average is around a year before I start braking with skin.

It says “Early access play starts 4 days early on May 15”, implying the release date is 19th May.

That doesn’t really work in my experience because artists seem to be incapable of tagging their work correctly.

This, I think, is the best way. You start to recognise people that are buying all the same stuff you like so follow them and periodically have a look at what they are buying.

All other avenues on bandcamp are a bit shit IMO. Tags are dog shit because artists never tag their work correctly and my feed will constantly be old shit I listened to a long time ago. You can’t even rely on it to let you know when artists you follow release new work.

I love bandcamp but I also fucking hate bandcamp xD

I am also to some degree but I think I went into this with different expectations, not expecting punishment and so therefore I was taken aback.

Thanks for the tips, I have read you can break the game within a few hours but that isnt what I’m really looking to do so I’m going to try and use a guide as little as possible and just look up specific points I need clarifying.

Apparently I inadvertently chose the more difficult character but the storyline differences does seem interesting. I’ll see how well the game clicks over some more time!

I went in wanting to play as blind as possible but after being thrown into combat with no tutorial what so ever and then absolutely no explanation of what anything is, skills, specials skills, skills sets etc etc I started doing some cursory searching. Then everyone is screaming about levelling determination fully first and so I had to go down a rabbit hole just to find out where to get that because everyone spoke as if you had it from the start, which you don’t.

Even the guides for this game aren’t super helpful to someone that has zero background knowledge on the game at all. I’m still not sure if I actually want to delve as deep into it as it seems is necessary but I’m going to out a few more hours in and try to not fuck up my characters in that time and see how well it clicks.

I heard the first one is even more painful! How did you find it?

I have just started Star Ocean 2 on PSP, it is confusing trying to figure out what is going on as nothing has been explained so far at all in terms of the different systems going on.

You and me both and the very tiny amount of phones available right now with keyboards are just not that great. Blackberry still made the best phones ever IMO, the KeyTwo was fucking awesome.

Yeh, no port forwarding for torrenting is why I moved away.

For whatever reason my first thoughts was Opiuo - Meraki

If I were a jellyfish I’d be bopping to this as I swam around the ocean xD

I appreciate it a lot and have saved this comment for the future!

I’m glad we can come around to an understanding too, to sort of illustrate why I reacted as such this comment from this thread kind of epitomises what it can be like trying to get into the Linux space and learn as a complete newbie sometimes and it is very fucking tiring. I realise not everyone is like that and there are plenty of people that provide a lot of help but it is also very tiring and off putting when you are new to a space and you are met with attitudes like this.

Have a good day :D

No, I am intending to take that course next year, any tips?

Yeh that is fair enough, maybe I worded it wrong in the first place as it is more that right now I dont have the time or motivation to do the learning due to everything else going on in life and I do conceded that I did jump first to condescension but that was based more on a lot of previous interactions I have had within the broader Linux community so I apologise if that was not your intention but “sounds like a skill issue” is a usual dismissive response that is often meant to be condescending.

I have put a lot of time in the last year into learning Linux to get to a place where I have proxmox running as well as a NAS and that was all from a place of zero prior knowledge and that was a steep learning curve and I think I am some what jaded from that experience going forward too due to some interactions and how not easy to follow documentation is for someone entirely new to the space.

I do appreciate the offer and maybe in the future I could take you up on the offer when I have more time and mental capacity to put back into furthering my learning within this space. Apologies for jumping straight to an assumption of your position based on previous interactions if that wasnt your intention, it just came across as such.

Yeh these are things I realise and I know there are solutions. The way Plex does it isnt ideal but also it works for me and my current knowledge level.

Maybe in the future as I learn more I can move on but right now it works for me and I dont have the time or motivation to put into learning everything else I need right now, as with everyone else in the world right now there is a lot of other shit going on that it just isnt high on my priority list unfortunately.

I’m still in my first year of self hosting personally and as well as being a Linux newbie I have learnt a lot and it has been a steep learning curve with everything.
