Stellaris with the Star Trek: New Horizons mod is very good.

Why are they looking at his word bubble?

 

I assume it has something to do with the sound cancelling. It uses white noise or something, right? I'm running out of nails to test this.

Real talk, I want to try Guix but I have not successfully installed it on any hardware, including VMs. This includes with nonguix for proprietary drivers and stuff. I can never get past install, it always just craps out on some substitution thing. Am I just stupid?

Gaming on Linux is pretty good nowadays. I've only run into one or two games I couldn't get working. The vast majority of games work with Proton right out of the box

This might be my favorite joke in Futurama.

Really? You're entitled to your opinion, of course, but imo Measure of a Man is an incredible acting showcase and a strong premise to display Federation values. Every time I've wanted to get someone into TNG, it's one of my first recommendations and it usually works. What are your complaints about it?

Cats are obligate carnivores. They need meat. A vegan cat is a dead cat.

My TV is 6 years old now and it does 120hz. My PC monitor does 200.

Yeah, motherboard, daughterboard.

The Greatest Generation - Star Trek rewatch podcast. Rekindled my love for the greatest franchise in history. Hosts approach the show from a tv production background

Spout Lore - the best real-play podcast, in my opinion. Dungeon World with incredible world building despite almost everyone being named Greg

Blank Check with Griffin and David - film analysis from the film critic for the Atlantic and Arthur from the Tick / Orko / Watto, covering a director's entire filmography each series

Marvel by the Month - Reading every Marvel comic, one month at a time. Has a gaggle of comic book industry legends as regular guests, talks about the context in which the comics were written, theme and interstitial music are bangers

 

So I'm reading The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses by Jesse Schell and I'm quite enjoying it. I don't really have anyone else in my life who shares my game development interests so I thought it might be fun to put together some kind of regular discussion. I've got a pretty long reading list, would nice to have someone to talk to. Thoughts?

 

So I've been using Linux now for a while, and am looking to migrate my dev environment to vim and spend more time in the command line. I'm fairly comfortable with bash but by no means an expert. I've used zsh with some minor customization but just recently learned about fish. I'd love to hear people's opinions.
