I genuinely think the author just put those two together because they knew everyone was expecting Harr-mione to happen. Tried to subvert expectations.

That would be great, but unfortunately for me I have too many programs that depend on windows, don't have Linux options, and if I'm being honest with myself I really just don't want to learn an entirely new ecosystem. I will if forced, but the moment this laptop shits itself or they discontinue support for the OS, I'm getting a crash course.

I'd love to turn an old tablet or somethinf into a Linux device in the meantime so I can at least start something. Too bad my parent's old kindles won't work, there's enough of them laying around their house...

Oh fuck yeah gimme that customization and personalization options

I used to use a program on one of my computers called rainmeter I think, and it allowed me to customize my desktop to look like the Animus menus from Assassin's creed 2. Then decided to go with hexagons everywhere, with the replacement start menu dead center screen and other buttons areayed out from there.

Haven't used it in many years, but I'd love that level of customization* on a pc nowadays. It seems like no matter where I go, every UI looks the same. Good for familiarity, not so much for "oh this is neat, they made it their own" factor.

*without learning entire programming languages, I hyperfixate on things but programming has never been something I've been able to get into

I just bought a laptop last year (portability and space constraints, I'd love to build a pc when I have the space for it) and it was supposed to come with windows 10.

I got a windows 11 model shipped to me. I didn't ask for this. And I have to say.... I fucking hate it. Why does the start menu need to change locations...

My next computer will absolutely be Linux, and it's Microsoft's own stupid fault. Windows 10 WAS supposed to be my last windows OS...

Why does Sony always feel like you could replace anything they say with "You should consider yourself lucky we allow you to play our games."

Old people and overreacting to normal things because new ideas are scary and confusing

Name a more iconic duo

I have noticed that I get less motion sick in some games on my new 240hz screen, but unfortunately I still get it.

That said, I'm unsure what my actual fps is in Doom/E but I'd wager somewhere around 100.

Checking FOV and disabling motion blur, chromatic abberation, and DoF are my first things before I even start a new game.

I just assume it's because I'm getting older, and I'm not sitting in a proper chair most of the time.

Okay I have a confession to make....

I haven't finished a Doom since Doom 3 (2004).

I have loved every minute of Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, but I haven't finished either of them.

I get too motion sick to play video games like that anymore.

Even Titanfall I have to take a break between levels.

I'll finish them someday, I promise...

Prey was the first game in a long time to make me stop and go "what the fuuuuuuuck?" in a long time.

It's a good feeling.

I'd absolutely love to know where the team expected to take the story after the ending(s) if they made a direct sequel.

More like Prey, for sure.

But stabbing your neighbor isn't exactly something most people are willing to do.

And any sort of attempt at organization leads to Alphabet Squad raids and whatever bullshit charges they feel like throwing at you after deciding you're guilty of being a dirty commie/socialist/librul/not them.
