  • It’s a mixed bag, for me.

    Charitably, I could say that they were a little ahead of their time. Something I’ve noticed about nearly all of the best TV/Movies/etc. these days is that they’re all heavily character-focused. It’s the well-written characters that are the soul of good stories, and the situations and settings are just a vehicles for character exploration and interaction. So, Universe, from my perspective, was an attempt to make a character-focused show.

    But the characters they WROTE in Universe… well, there were a few really good ones, a few reeeeeeeeeeally not so good ones, and a lot of rather boring mediocre ones.

    That being said, it’s still Stargate. I stillnreally liked the show and wasnpissed it got cancelled. I refuse to believe it was because the show got really bad numbers, on its own merit. But there is quite a lot to criticize about it.





  • Are you me and your friend is also me?

    This sounds a HELL of a lot like my scenario. I swapped to Bazzite from Mint on account of NVidia/gaming issues, and IMMEDIATELY noticed a big improvement, but I’ve had a handful of issues dealing with the flatpak of JetBrains Rider, and Firefox for that matter.

    One thing I figured out early was to configure permissions to allow Rider to access the filesystem outside of its sandbox. That seems to be not something that flatpaks are setup for, by default.

    More recently, I found that flatpak sandboxes don’t inherit PATH or other global system variables. Which makes sense, but I haven’t figured out the solution yet.

    I would definitely take a shot at another KDE distro, cause I also have liked KDE/Plasma (that’s what Bazzite runs, right?) more than I did Cinnamon, but I don’t know anything about what Bazzite does to get great NVidia performance for gaming, or how I might replicate it on a non-immutable distro.








  • I tried it a few weeks ago. Streamed it from my PC to the living room, cause I didn’t feel like getting off the couch.

    It was better than I thought it’d be, but I’m not keen on doing it again, when I have KBM available. Tough to to say how much of the discomfort is just fighting my KBM muscle memory, and how much is “game fundamentally too complicated for controller”. I only had one REAL complaint about the way a particular button/input was mapped.





  • I was feeling resentful for how he seems to just drop things wherever

    Yo, I feel this a ton. I can never get him to clean consistently, cause he’ll get distracted by… well, basically anything. We had success with scheduling “clean up time” 1 hour before bedtime, for a while, but even we could never get it to stick. Best I’ve learned to do is remember it’s not malicious, “focus” is just something he doesn’t have mastered, yet. I’ll also point out, he’s gotten a LOT better in the past couple years. Hell, he voluntarily wanted to clean his room tonight, after having his friend over all day, he said they left the room a mess.
