In a time when water levels universally sucked, it was a bold move to make the entire game a water level. I remember enjoying it too, never did complete it tho.

Back on my OG DooM bullshit. I gave Almalgoom a go and it inspired me to get back into mapping again after about 30 years.

Unrelated, but why are there two different styles of crosswalk? I'm not from the states and I've never seen either before.

Can I get mine with a side of plomeek soup?

Ventilation. Probably depends a bit on what hardware you land on, but that era of case wasn't exactly designed with airflow in mind.

I remember seeing this on shelf in video stores back in the day. No recollection of actually watching it, but that cover definitely pings a memory.

This is really good. Enough of the old levels to keep it vaguely familiar so you're not completely lost, enough to twists to be interesting. Not an overwhelming amount of new engine stuff, but enough to pull off some very clever tricks. A couple of moments that actually made me laugh out loud, and some genuinely creepy sections that play heavily on your understanding of the old levels. Highly recommended.

Yeah I'm having issues last day or two. I feel like it's been intermittent up until today. Now nothing loads, here or federated.

EDIT: Okay, weird. Image posts don't load but embeds in comments do. At least, embeds in comments on federated comms.

EDIT 2: Embed uploads aren't working either.

Fun thought exercise but functionally irrelevant. It still feels like I'm making decisions, so that's close enough.

Bazzite only really does gaming mode on AMD GPUs (RX4xx+). As a general rule of thumb AMD cards are usually better supported under Linux. Bazzite's desktop mode should work fine on a 1660 though.

 

I have some downtime at the moment so I'm thinking of reviving my personal blog again. I have enough experience with managed services that I'm reasonably confident to self-host. I'm aware that WordPress / Drupal / Joomla will most likely do what I want, but they're way overkill for my needs and I don't need the extra headaches.

Currently I'm leaning towards ghost, even though activitypub is only in alpha as far as I know. Plume isn't actively maintained any more, which is a shame. WriteFreely is a great project but doesn't suit my aesthetics and doesn't support themes as far as I know. I know connecting a flat-file CMS to activitypub is possible, but seems like way more trouble than I'd like to go to.

Is there anything I've missed that I should be looking at?

 

I'm pretty deadset on switching my Legion Go over to Bazzite (for the controller support). One of the games I play a lot of is Elite Dangerous. While I'm quite sure I can get that up and running, there's a few third-party tools I use like EDMC and Voice Attack. EDMC and the like I'm fairly sure just need to get pointed to the logfiles, but I'm not sure how well VA will operate in a Linux environment. Anyone out there dealt with anything like this? It's not a deal breaker if it just doesn't work, but I'd like to know ahead of time.

 

Normally I'd go to r/mousereview for this kind of thing, but fuck that website.

Can anybody recommend me a mouse that isn't going to fuck out inside of a couple years? Was previously using an Ironclaw until the USB port went, replaced it with a Basilisk and the scroll on that one's started to jitter up and down now. I have fairly large hands and tend to use knuckle claw grip. Wireless is a must, builtin battery preferred, but requiring a single AA isn't a dealbreaker. I don't mind heavy, prefer a little weight tbh.
