  • similar suggestion to BlackAngels: RimWorld?

    sounds like you’d enjoy top-down gameplay more than 1st person, so might be something to try!

    pro tip: try the base game first. the DLC are all good, but none are required!

    edit: RimWorlds’ mod scene is also just incredible (some would probably call it non-credible too XD); there’s Project RimFactory if you want a more factorio-like playthrough! (although, fair warning, RimFactory is pretty damn OP, up to you how much you abuse it…)




  • fucking peace.

    no, you dum-dum:

    just because YOU, personally, haven’t been reading, hearing, or seeing the perpetual violence against Palestinians (and muslims in general) in and around isreal, doesn’t mean it just appeared out of thin air, like you are suggesting.

    well, not suggesting… you’re straight up lying.

    you are using your own ignorance as basis of fact.

    YOU are unaware of the hostilities happening, so you assume they DIDN’T happen. which is wrong.

    this genocide didn’t just suddenly happen, it’s been going on for decades. it’s simply been a much slower process before (except for all the times in-between when it wasn’t slow at all, but I’m not about to copy-paste half o wikipedia. look it up if you don’t want to be ignorant), which makes no difference.

    a genocide, by definition, is not bound to a certain timeframe; when a people is eradicated deliberately, it doesn’t matter at all how long that process took.

    Palestinians have been under direct attack for almost century now. that entire time is a continuous state of genocide.



  • Public opinion in Israel also does not appear to be influenced by the British.

    let’s start with the easy one: this is completely irrelevant. public opinion is largely worthless and means nothing.

    The active current genocide started in 23.

    it started in the 1940s, arguably earlier.

    the very first thing that happened in the region was Palestinians being expelled from their own land in order to make way for the zionist regime.

    that’s how Palestinian oppression started, and it’s the reason the situation got so bad in the first place.

    it got much, much worse in '23, but that’s not the start at all.

    It was triggered by a terror attack.

    no, it was the other way around; ongoing genocide triggered the terrorist attack.

    and more importantly:

    is this supposed to mean that genocide can be justified? is that what you’re saying?

    Some have considered the attack inevitable due to continued oppression and border fences.

    gee, i wonder how that oppression started in the first place… certainly couldn’t have been the british! they’d never meddle in the middle east for colonialist reasons!

    well…except in afghanistan…and iraq…and syria…and egypt…wait, how long is this list anyway?

    could the british empire be responsible for most of the clusterfuck that is the current middle east, by having drawn completely arbitrary lines on maps more than a century ago, which were deliberately designed to fence in diverse ethnic communities, with the explicit goal of suppressing the local populations by putting them in a constant state of unresolvable armed conflict in order to ensure instability in the region and as a result keeping education and living standards low, thus guaranteeing cheap oil for the foreseeable future by making it trivial to install dictatorships across the region?

    …are you for fucking real?

    (hawara, du saufst den lack aber auch im liter pack…)


  • you generally don’t take short trips by car in vienna.

    most of what you would need is within walking distance, almost everywhere has excellent public transport, which is also mostly faster than taking a car anyway.

    just isn’t necessary to make people walk to their cars: if they’re using their car, it’s likely because they need to, not because they want to… public transport is just more convenient most of the time, because of the reduced parking options within the city! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    it’s a list, hence the comma separation.

    this is standard grammar.

    edit: also: modding games, mostly. plenty of tinkering around that needs a bunch of programs windows doesn’t like for various reasons. simple things like windows automatically inheriting permissions onto a drive that shouldn’t inherit any (and hasn’t actually inherited any at root level, so where the fuck did it get even get those from??), randomly changing access for nebulous reasons… there’s just sooo much nonsense to deal with under windows that i haven’t encountered even once under linux.

    sure, I’ve had permissions issues, but at least those where my own fault! and fixing them was easy, transparent, and never reverted again for no reason.

    i honestly no longer care to find out why windows was misbehaving (wasn’t malware, of that I’m sure. kept happening even on entirely new hardware), because I’ve just left that mess behind, and I’m never going back.

    way, way better this way!

    i spent waaaaaay more time fiddling around with drivers on windows than on linux.

    in fact, it’s exactly infinitely more, because I’ve spent exactly ZERO seconds on any drivers on linux since switching to bazzite last year.

    the amount of driver bullshit, the bullshit permissions shenanigans for modding, and just all around bullshit i had to deal with under windows has just, *poof!*, evaporated under linux!

    shit actually just does exactly what you tell it to do!

    no weird black magic running in the background that nobody’s entirely sure about how it works, no bullshit UAC child controls, no bullshit updates and anti-features you don’t want and never agreed to, no bullshit up-sells, no ads!

    it’s fucking magical compared to windows! <3

    P.S.:

    although, i do use an AMD gpu…

    BUT i did recently plug a 3080 i got for cheap into my weekend rig at my parents’ place and that also just worked without any configuration required sooo…maybe bazzite is just better about Nvidia drivers than most distros? who knows, who cares, it just works!
