That’s so cool. How did you make the corroded metal look so good on the front plate?

When Starfield released, NMS had a sale. I bought it for ~30e and spent 80 hours enjoying it. Very much worth it.

I love engineering games like that but I don’t believe any game will check all the boxes you want.

Like others here I vouch for Satisfactory Trucks and especially the Railways. You can go quite deep there if you want. Drones do the clipping and are bit too easy so skip them.

While not what you exactly wished I’d say give Transport Tycoon or rather OpenTTD a go. While not as pedantic with traffic as you hope you will have a blast of a time doing beautifully orchestrated trains, airports, ferries and trucks/busses and optimizing the routes from resources to consumers.

And to reiterate. I don’t believe a game exists that matches most of your wishes. I hope it will eventually!

I used to selfhost Nexcloud in OVH (or rather Owncloud back then) but I tire of the update cycle and now I’m just paying for Hetzner for their Storage Box or whatever their Nextcloud product is called. I love selfhosting and don’t mind doing it at work but for some reason Nextcloud was annoying enough for me to switch paying to someone else to update it.

That’s very nicely done. I love the veiny back on the vampire.

Buy Freecell Quest when it’s on sale. It took me 60 hours to completely beat it and I had a blast with it.

I knew someone would mention joe! It was the first editor I was taught.

No. It’s never shut down. I suspend it when I’m not using it but never shut down.

I used to keep everything running and only turn off the screens but I changed my habit and there was a minor monthly electricity bill decrease that was worth it.

I did the same search some six years ago for our company and ended up with MediaWiki. We had two requirements: ACL and Ease of Use for non-technical people.

Both of the above are missing in the plain MediaWiki but extensions helped out. There were few different ACL extensions and I can’t remember which one I picked. Ultimately now we have the secret access controlled side of the wiki and the internal “public” side where everyone can access.

VisualEditor was a key extension. It’s a rich text editor with minimal fuzz for MediaWiki. Users never have to deal with the MediaWiki markup which is a must for non-technical users.

One of the best examples of a game that did it right was Heaven’s Vault. The game was decent/mediocre (imo) but every time I opened it it summarized what I did last time and it had awesome timeline history

In Stardew valley no matter what you had done its so easy to just start doing something you like and the game smoothes you in. Its plot has zero time limits after all

Forgot to add my pet peeve: non adjustable time/turn/action/decision limits in single player games. I hate when I have to play a game with ‘perfect knowledge’/wiki to get desirable outcome because I wanted to schmuck around trying things instead of focusing the main plot/whatever the game wanted me to do. Games like Homeworld, FTL, Phoenix Point and some CRPGs I made an error early into the game and instead of giving me a way to correct my mistake the game just became unwinnable at the end. “I have to live with the consequences of my actions.” Some people love that but for me it ruins the feeling. Games aren’t real life. I just spent 10+ hours and I can’t continue anymore? Sucks.

I had the exact opposite experience on Mint when I changed from Nvidia to AMD. Switched the GPUs and only my main monitor in my multimonitor setup was outputting signal. That lead to annoying rabbit hole and I still haven’t finished after several months (suspend still doesn’t work every time)

None of my wishlist games were under 10€ so I skipped all of the deals there. Instead I bought (or put to the cart as I wanna sleep over my decisions) lots of DLCs to Total War Warhammers, Powerwash Simulator and other games I already own and like to play.

One new game I want to purchase is the Case of the Golden Idol which looks really interesting

The color scheme is striking. Very well done. I especially love the subtle gradient on that long sausage-ship

I had the exact same problem on one of my virtual boxes. The problem baffled me for two years and I just added more space to the box a few times to fight it as I couldn’t solve the issue. It wasn’t the inodes, deleted but open files or anything common like that.

The problem was my mounts. I had occasionally failing mounts combined with crontabs that accessed and wrote data to those mounts. Do you know what happens when you accidentally wrote let’s say 200gb data to /mnt/a and then later mount a drive over that mount point? It magically ‘disappears’ as you’d exclude that mount from the calculations.

Might be you don’t have anything mounted and none of the above is useful to you. But this solved my issue and it’s quite curious and silly. Just set up mount points to not be writeable and problem went away.

I used Linux Mint and GTX 2070 for over a half a year without any major problems. Installation was incredibly easy as there was a dialog box asking to install drivers and everything just worked. I have 4 monitor setup even.

Ultimately I switched to AMD (last week) because of the tiny problems that I experienced but mostly because I wanted to support AMD and could reason for an GPU upgrade.

This year I made a ‘promise’ to play the top 20 NES games as when I was a child/teen I never managed to beat any of those.

Steam Deck is such a boon that I can play my nostalgia games one hour before when I go to bed instead of doom scrolling reddit or whatever.

And I have actually beaten smb 1 and ninja gaiden (with save states) and megaman 2 without any saves and I feel so good!

Neljä kuukautta sitten tuli tehtyä hyppy W10:stä Linux Minttiin ja aika helpolla säädöllä on pärjännyt, tosin ei nyt aivan täysin plug&play meiningillä.

En kyllä millään usko tuota 19% mutta selkeästi omassa tuttavapiirissä on joko kiinnostuneita tai vaihtajia enemmän kuin vuosia sitten.

Vielä en ole törmännyt yhteenkään peliin joka ei olisi toiminut eikä Windowsiin ole tarvinnut dual bootata kuin ensimmäisinä viikkoina.

I have to be bit against decky. Out of the five steam deck crashes I’ve had past year all of them were because of decky frontend. At least that was what the crash report said and it had also option of disabling decky until next reboot. So my experience was decky crash -> no decky&happy -> system upgrade -> decky crash -> no decky &happy -> system upgrade… rinse & repeat

I’m not a decky (or steam deck) power user and last I checked the uninstall was not trivial so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I wish I never installed decky.

Voyager toimii taas. Hurraa! Kiitos korjauksesta ja kiva että opit seikkailusta :)

One of the things you could do as a new Linux user is to try out some support questions with your favorite search engine. Try ‘catchyos my headset mic is not working’ or ‘nobara how do I change my background wallpaper every 15 minutes’ or ‘<distro name> <real problem you’ve had the past 2 years>’.

This approach will give you an realistic view how much support you will have when you’re dealing with an actual problem.
