I've been playing Control on and off since 2019... I finally completed it this week.

There was always something that halted my progress... Frustration with the map, boredom with progression, unfixable crashing. Decided to give it one more go on a new gpu and finally it clicked :)

Now I'm doing all the awesome post game content.

My initial response is prob as sarcastic as the others but a thought just occurred to me.

Skyrim, v1. The og release, before all the mods and bug fixes.

Undoubtedly still a better game than Star field. But was it the Skyrim we revere today? Will Starfield be transformed into something fun over the next decade?

What am I on about. Almost certainly not lol.

Not fucking up the f/c Fallout London mod would've also gotten me to play more (or at least, again). I played & enjoyed FO4 on PS, bought it again for Steam specifically for the new mod.

It'll sit unplayed until the mod is ready!

Yeah I'm the same. I've got DDG set as my default search, if the results aren't useful then I go to google as backup.

Is it just me, or has autocorrect on phones also gotten way, way worse? When would I ever want to type 'thbnks'?

Yeah bit you've never played Alan Wake 2 with turbo mode ray tracing in 28000p /s

Tbh I don't think humanity was ready for social media. In the past, complete and utter fuckwits would be shamed into silence. Now, they're all connected to each other, reinforcing their shitty hot takes until they reach a critical mass; attracting other morons like a black hole of idiocy.

Forget technological singularity, we're rapidly approach a singularity of stupidity. Idiocracy was supposed to be a comedy, not a how-to manual for fucks sake!

There's some seriously sad, weird people out in the world... and the internet connects them to us.

Well this doesn't sound appealing! And this just speaks to what I was trying to explain to the person at the start of this thread... Linux may be growing rapidly but there's still giant holes in the driverset etc for many tasks.

I think prob the best solution will be to perform a hard reset / clean on the laptop, remove any bloatware, keep it offline once I've installed necessary updates / plugins, and only have live PA software installed.

This is interesting and concerning... I don't need a lot of plugins for live stuff, but I was definitely planning to use my Maschine!

So is that confirmed completely inoperable in Linux? No idea how I'd trigger parts without it.

Yep I definitely took it wrong, one of the problems with text only communication... No body language or audio cues! No worries.

The devs of my audio interface have definitely been asked a fair bit about Linux compatibility... But considering they've not even bothered bringing their new DAW to PC, it seems they're strongly focussed on mac ecosystems only for the foreseeable.

Personally I think compatibility should be a two way street pun not intended! But unfortunately companies tend to vote with our wallets, so until Linux becomes even more established I doubt they will dedicate much if any resources to making their devices work on it. Shame.

I bought a new audio interface for live work a few months back, went for an audient id24 partly because it's Linux compatible (although no native drivers). So I will get stuck in at some point. I started using PCs back when floppy disks were actually floppy so I'm not afraid of command line stuff!
