Maybe I’m just naive but I personally no matter how little I know a person would “ghost” someone especially if there is some open thread.

I don’t know the full context of your social situation or how your friends work. But given what little I know I’d just take this a learning experience and move on. I doubt in the long haul it will look bad on you. If anything look poorly on the other person.

You seem like you care about relationships and people. Someone one better will certainly come along.

Regardless, best of luck with everything.

Plus you need to track down a real cable to use it. I’ve tried using RockSmith a little while back to learn and I found the game only gotten the way of my learning. Not to mention at the time there weren’t songs I cared about learning. You really need to have had mastering finger placement and chords before you ever touch the program. And even then I never got very far with it.

I loved Rockband for the experience of feeling like a rockstar. Feeling like a crowd cheering me on. RockSmith to me is a very different beast. A great milestone in tech but one that serves a very different purpose.

It was insanely addictive to me. Nothing really special just a good idea really. I’m sure with any and all it’s rip offs your getting a similar game. I appreciated the lack of data privacy with the game. If you had it on Android back in the day it’s still downloadable from the play store.

Trying to get my friends over to Stoat or Fluxer but it’s been a challenge

In the voice of Luke Skywalker: NOOoOoooooo!!!

I also use Mastodon a lot. I tried Pixelfed but 90 percent of I see are still Mastodon accounts so I just follow them on Mastodon.

The right client there makes all the difference.

Well she should be using Arch Linux dammit !! I am kidding totally kidding. Sorry about that

I hate ads but I realize I don’t watch nearly as many movies as I use to cause I have no idea what anything is about. I use to from watching lots of trailers in tv ads.

Maybe I can start watching movie trailers on you tube ?

The sex , drugs and rock n roll !

Discovered way to late there was a decentralized version of Reddit and I had to join

I was going to say the most traumatizing thing was hearing this kid was 8 in 2016 …

Love the glass effect better than what apples done

When I was young I was bullied every single day. For the longest time It bothered me. Then one day something changed, I stopped caring. People would throw out insults and jokes and I just dissociate myself. I’d hear it and if it was at all funny I’d laugh. After about a month I was entirely left alone. Those people were never nice to me and never showed me respect. But the fact they got 0 rise at me meant they got bored.

So I’d suggest to anyone to not take whatever personally and just shrug it off. Eventually in my experience it stops !

I will say this may not work for everyone. And for some this may just escalate to even more horrible things. But it might be worth a shot ? And obviously change course if things go south …

Fair point I’ve made a question update

This also looks like one of those porn games full of AI slop all over Steam. But somehow have really good reviews …

There is more than just that when it comes to PC games

System requirements: RAM , CPU clock speed , GPU. And even if your requirements match there is no guarantee the game will work well. MW 2019 has stutters on my machine. No explanation to why ! I can play Indiana Jones at High settings no problem.

Let’s agree to disagree then.

It’s not a like for like experience no matter how you slice it.

I know this is going out to an audience who regularly self hosts and runs Linux.

But not everyone has the same technical skill level and the experiences are not ideal for everyone.

Consoles aren’t going anywhere. I understand this crowd isn’t going to understand why. As half of you this morning for funsies decided to self host an instance of a discord clone on a toaster you found on the side of the road. Using Arch Linux of course !!

But the majority of people that aren’t on here the majority of people you know Microsoft is actually salivating to take money from aren’t. And I can tell from Xbox one to Kinnect those are the people they want !!

Steam deck over its 4 years has sold roughly around 5 million world wide. Switch 2 in less than a year has sold nearly 17 million !

The goal of this “new” Xbox is to get Windows for more normies into their living room. And Microsoft going to recoup share they lost overtime to smartphones and others. And to me I don’t see that working like at all …

Xbox is dead as a platform and this new strategy will be dead on arrival.

I’m not sure if you understand the point of my post. Yes PC is not just Windows. But the whole point of this product will be the “Xbox experience” which is installed on WINDOWS. Sure you can buy this box and then just install Bazzite or whatever. But why wait for this “box” to do it ? Just build a custom PC which is guaranteed to be better value and something you can do right now ?

I’m not attacking PC gaming. I love PC gaming. But this is in the context of an dedicated gaming console. Which for Xbox is going away.

My point is I see little value in the move. My point is I believe it’s the wrong approach. Valves approach with their baked in software is much better.

I wouldn’t worry to much about that. Microsoft can build out additional emulation to support those games. Now how much of they can pull from what’s been done with Xbox One / Series that remains unclear.

They can always “borrow” from the foss community and just use their emulators.

I wouldn’t expect the same upgrades you saw with the old back compat catalogue. But hopefully it’s as functional as it was on its OG hardware.

But whatever they do I know the community will be able to improve upon for the whole PC space to utilize without needing to pay Shitsoft for it …
