If they continue to get rid of this woke bullshit I don't care what is next.

I guess I am really active on my updates on my system. They (the distro) just updated the list for the flatpaks including the one that didn't update due to outdated requirements. It added the requirements and removed the ones no longer required. So that works. Just I was too FAST . Too Impatient. LOL.

Good lord.. we really needed an other Sims game. (lol... not).

Ha, You know, you are probably right. I guess it shows how much I cared about Mass Effect after that flop and what Bioware was putting out even then.

Tomorrow October 22nd 2026 is going to have a major update. A update that is substantial at least over the past year since the last one. It is supposed to be an update due to the new Edgerunners II coming out. New perks and such.

Speaking of Flatpaks. I ran into a strange issue. It had an error duing update (command line of course duh! ) It gave me a warning but I didn't know what was going on. Why a warning for a Flatpak? Well I am running it on a system that is using Flatpak along sides other sources. (not sure if this is the case for the OS that only use flatpak like Silverblue, Bazzite etc. Somethow I think that isnt' the case. ) Anyway. It appears that some of the most popular Flatpaks provided are outdated. They have a needed resource I believe version 24.08 and it is no longer supported. Needs to be updated. Well, it doesn't do it by itself. At least not on my OS (one of the resons that people still aren't going to be able to go fully into Linux. This is on MInt) Apparently my system image I used and versoin is old enough that this happens. Anyway a quick Google search away and I was given some commands to clean the flatpaks that are old and the old Flatpak components (apparently they will sit there happly wasting your space until removed) and force the supported flatpak to the newer versons. One flatpak is still outdated but I got 4 of them moved over. A command (yea commands) later and I was able to confirm that they are using the newer versoin of teh requirement. Time from noticing the problem to solution. 5 minutes. Most of that was searchng on Google. lol. So far this hasn't shown up on my immutable OS system. It seems to update everything as it goes. (it only uses flatpaks not a mixed enviroment)

Can you believe it? I never played that game. Or any game of that series. Yep. Good music though. Maybe I might pick it up on GOG (if it is there and on a nice sale :D )

Wasn't there a clame that they were shutting down any future Mass Effect game after that last shit show? I seem to recall them saying that back then.

Gary Busey is the new crypt keeper. True story God dam... Even the pigs wanted nothing to do with that guy in the pink. It freaked them out.

I havent needed to use it to alter flatpaks however, there might be some adjustements you can do to work with folders you need. Might need to alter the locations of teh folders though. How they are layed out to get it to work right. Unfortunately that is the problem and drawback with flatpak systems. The great benifit is nothing can screw up other things and they update seperatly from the system and always (if updated correctly by the creator) stable.

have you tried flatseal? The Flatpak manager. If I recall you are able to control flatpak and alter some of its access. Maybe? I never had that issue. Don't use Zorin. Zorin gatekeeps their features behind a pay wall. What is worse, after you pay, you have to buy it again if they upgrade versions. I'd rather spend a few minutes with a basic linux and get all that without the paywall. I am not going to reward them for gatekeeping. In the past I tried their free version and thought. Hey I will just install it myself. Not a problem. Except it isn't part of the distro list (forget the name now.) . I'd have to add a different distro listing from what I tried. Honestly, I did a quick attempt, it wasn't working. Made sure my commands was right and they were so I dumpted it. I can't remember a disto I changed out of faster in recent years.

Yes, it is for recovery not daily driver. Have a full installation ready with all your tweaks and then use the program to copy it over to your computers drive if it needs it in the future. A bad update or something happens you can be up and running even faster than you would be normally. Everything can be set up to your liking from the theme to the desktop and software. I haven't done it with LInux but eons ago I did it for Mac 9.0 and it worked beautiful. Just clone it over.

I'd suggest using a fast 3.1 drive or better and install a perfect system. In your spare time. All the tools, scripts and settings you need. Minimum starting point of all the nice stuff you know you will need all the time. Then you can use resculezilla to clone it a system you want to use. Start the external drive every couple of months and make sure it is fully updated. Any new software you need that becomes your must have. (don't blow it out with random specific software as you can install it in seconds if you need it) The UUID (I believe) would have to be changed or you could have conflicts if you boot it into a system that has a cloned system. KDE patrition manager or other managers can change the UUID # so that LInux doesn't freek out. This is a case where I can't blame it for freaking out. Seeing double.

I had some issues with a program. Couldn't get it to work regardless of the commands I used. It ended up being a stuck update or an update that wasn't well updated yet in the distro. In any case. I now know a command that can be used to help free up a stuck update system. sudo apt update --fix-missing && sudo apt autoclean. (hopefully I typed it in correctly. If there is any issue, use google and it will correct and likely give you a copy paste option. UPDATE: used it and it worked (didn't give an error) and I show 100% updated.

I was annoyed by him especially when I had no interest in his quest line. Sometimes I played it because I was playing a theif etc. That quest line helps builid the character. I never got annoyed as as you two. lol. I also didn't care if the quesst was on the list. I had lots of them. I can see why it would be annoying. Some wants to keep their quest clean. My current game I want to keep things clean (not Skyrim a different game. ) However, that is some useful tips for future play. Thanks.

I can't say I ever had that displeasure. LOL

Didn't see that game before. I like the idea but not sure of the game. Nice concept using time. At first if I didn't see the videos on it I would have thought it was horrible. Time as a feature. Sounds bad. However, it seems like it works for this game. At face value there seems to be too much going on. Too many options. In any case, I rarely if ever, buy a game full price and usually wait until much later to buy it. After all the patches have been made. Improvements given, DLCs relased. Price much lower. Usually at a minimum half cost. One nice thing is I saw it on GOG which means I can get a download and actually own it. NO DRM.

You can bet that interviewer will never interview him or anyone at that company again.

Great idea. I have picked up several Bethesda games already. It is nice that I don't have to deal with their BS updates that break the games for some of the most popular games. I have them in Steam as well. So I can use the most current along with the older versions. However, I find myself using GOG more often now a days.
