I keep looking at Linux as well, I think when I do update I'll go all AMD so I can use SteamOS, I don't want Windows 11, I have a laptop with Windows 11 on it and I hate the OS so much that I bought a Macbook for everyday things.

I hope and wish you don't have to upgrade soon as well. I had to upgrade my 4th gen gaming computer but fortunately it was when the pricing was still reasonable. Not great, but reasonable. Well before the A.I. bullshit happened. Currently it is a 14th gen if I recall correctly as well as have the 3070ti. I still have the 1080ti so if something happened to that I'm good. However, I am itching to create a dedicated Linux gaming machine so bad. Even picked out a case NEXT H2. Small but tall. Good computer to use in my gaming room slash living room with my xbox x. Bazzite or Steam (still up for decision as Steam is getting better and better but then so is Bazzite) Either would have the "Big Picture Mode" so it would be very much like the consoles. Bazzite might win as I believe I can emulate consoles and such better on it. As opposed to Steam. I would be able to fully move over to AMD and have much better results with Linux which I prefer.

I'm the same, I have little to no interest in new titles, they're either broken, full of divisive politics or both. The added bonus is I don't have to upgrade this PC, I'm still using a 6th gen i7 with 32GB of RAM and a 1080ti, the computer is ten years old and the GPU is eight or nine years old, these talentless hacks are saving me a fortune.

I guess I am lucky. I have more games than I can play for the next several years. Most if not all of them aren't online games or at least have an offline option. Many have modding options that can extend the game play options and make things interesting. I can slowly move from one game to another and once I've had enough I can then go back to the one I haven't played in a long time and it be somewhat fresh. Great games can hold their value even decades later. KTOR is one example. A Bethesda game back when Bethesda was great. Fallout 3 and NV (Bethesda and Obsidian respectively) are also great games. Lots of things you can do with it. I like Mass Effect (not the last one of course. I have standards lol). Then you have some new games that have some value like Robocop, BSG2 and Hogwarts Legacy. Yes, the last one is more for children and a smash button game but has some nice RPG elements and story. Well written and developed. Not the crap fest of some of the most recently released games.

I'm so happy I don't give a about gaming news. Following the gaming news is so depressing. From rip off releases of games not ready to even be quality tested to shutting down game servers just weeks after release because of their bad decisions. All of this just makes me want to look for another hobby. With AI and all the bS that is happing regarding hardware cost, you can't build decent gaming rigs anymore anyway. Not if you want to pay rent and eat that is. Only the super rich can afford that

Yea, it took a few minutes to find the video above you about this. It is crazy. Nothing has been done yet. Nobody seems concerned that EA can go bankrupt as other heavily leveraged companies do (people raid an company leverage it to the heavens promise the world and then default and the company goes belly up) They, many of the videos that I had to sort through, are panicking about the possible loss of their access and major changes to rules and or game play mechanics and possible future expansions. More so than the very real possibility that this company is toast. I wasn't aware of people attacking Paralives and zOI. then again I don't do much with the gaming news anymore. Anything important will pop up in a Discord chat or a site that I go to like here. Then I can check things out if I desire.

Libshit streamers have been freaking out for months about the EA private purchase because they knew the pride-flag-tranny agenda in the Sims was going to end. They can't switch games because the majority of them spent almost a year attacking Paralives and inZOI. So what the fuck can they stream? Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing? Their partisan shortsightedness has snapped back on them. Well-deserved Karmic justice. It took less than 5 minutes to get up to speed on what's been going on since they're all in a overlapping downward spiral, regurgitating the same talking points over and over like it will alter reality. Hilarious to see.

I forgot that EA owns Maxis and thus THE SIMS. I'm dying over here.

After fully watching the video I believe it might be sligtly, slightly more than Steam is reporting for linux. There are some like myself that haven't used Steam in Linux. They want the windows experience (being able to play windows game without any challenges no matter how small). I know and have met more people that use Linux for their main daily driver and fire up a gaming machine for gaming. So that might have raised the amount of linux users. It isn't scientific but it does make sense. Windows is pissing off people. There are many that will try Linux just to get away from that crappy OS. There are many more but they aren't sure and afraid of linux so they don't move over. Met these as well. Helped them out where I could without becoming a live in support person. lol. ( for those I suggest Fedora immutable OS's. Bazzite being one of them but Silver blue and others to choose from. These you can't really break. Not like you can with Linux and you can restore to the old image if you do. Need maybe 4~5 maybe 6 total commands at the max the rest is done by the OS and for most of those, you don't really even need that. ) Linux Mint for those that want to experience Linux and want to learn it. Get into it and understand it.

Out of curiosity, I looked at Awstats for our domain, and I saw that the number of Linux users had increased to 9%. That's a big jump. I looked at visitor data, typed in 'Linux' and saw a bunch of visitors with this user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) HeadlessChrome/151.0.0.0 Safari/537.36. According to User-Agents.net, this user agent string belongs to the Headless Chrome browser running on Linux. It is developed by Google Inc. and renders web pages using the Blink engine. https://user-agents.net/string/mozilla-5-0-x11-linux-x86-64-applewebkit-537-36-khtml-like-gecko-headlesschrome-151-0-0-0-safari-537-36 What is a headless Chrome browser? According to ChatGPT: In my opinion, there's no way that these are real users. I believe the article you read is correct.

There was an article that stated that Linux A.I use was what pushed it over. Can't find the article now. It was suspected this happened but no real evidence. Also a side comment. Youtube is shit. Now I have to log in just to watch a video. Prompts to open up my history and everythiing else but actually showing me videos. What it was good at. What it became famous for. What it is built to do. Just when you think Google can't be any more shitty, they create new ways.

A Saudi-backed UAE corporation bought EA. I wonder how all that Bioware trans/they/them activist bullshit is gonna play out Reddit and BlueSky are in full panic mode since evidently all clutures are NOT equal afterall. Huh...dats funny.

So that means we will get it in 2070 around the time the bombs were released in the original games lore. It will be the special, special, extra special edition release. Having it crash and not work will be a intentional feature, recalling all the previous games releases. You will pay more for that.

Dam. I still have the old Halo and it is great. Watching this is so different. I haven't played much if any of the Halo releases after the original. The game was great. It had much of if not all of the needed ingrediants to be successful back then and even more so now with all the culture wars. What makes this even more sad is Baulders Gate was released more than a year ago showing that get rid of the bullshit and you will be greatly successful.
