Nooooo Stamets it's not too late to save yourself!!!

I jest, but I do wonder why you feel that way?

Fuck, I'm going to have to wait to watch this one.

Eddy has always impressed me with how in-depth his journalism can be on the most minute topics. His video where he ate at every Rainforest Café was probably the most coverage that chain has had in years, and his piece on ghost kitchens is like the only source you need to understand that bullfuckery.

That is to say, I'm sure he really went hard with the research for this one. Would not surprise me if he isolated himself with ChatGPT for a week.

Yeah people say that Dinner Party is bad, but Scott's Tots is near unwatchable.

I did not play Avowed. I may get it on a sale, but OW2 is like the only game I've been waiting for. I think it may actually have been worth the money I spent for the prerelease, but time will tell.

Man, all of these games we're talking about relate in some way to the OG Black Isle team. I think their development is just cursed.

Not technically. I got the edition with the prerelease.

This is the only game I've been excited about all year, but with Avowed's mixed reception I was waiting for the prerelease reviews to roll in, and they were pretty glowing a few days ago. Even some of the ones calling it "woke" still recommended it, which I think speaks a lot to the quality of the game. So, I bought it.

Yeah, I love it so far. Super skill-heavy. Most conversations I've had have had some kind of option for a skill check. Plus some exploration has been gated behind a trait or skill as well. If you liked the first one, it fixed all those problems.

Damn, CJ, why you always gotta be a busta?

Outer Worlds 2, baby! It takes itself more seriously than the first one, which I think adds to the comedy.

What got a chuckle out of me was this statue in the first town you visit. It's a beautifully-designed, marble statue of some hero. The Auntie's Choice corporation that's colonized the area used an advertisement drone to project an image of the CEO's face over the statue's head.

There's also the Protectorate members that have tried to integrate into corporate society saying things like, "I only recently learned that artificial means good!"

I love dry humor, and this game is much more dry than the first.

Every time I try another DE, I always end up using KDE again by the end of the week.

Death Generator is an easy generator for changing the text displayed on old game screens.

You should know this because there aren't enough Death Generator memes on Lemmy ;)

I've been using Pop!_OS for a few years now, and it's worked like a dream. Everything works out-of-the-box, and gaming on Linux has never been easier. But it almost works a little too well. Learning Linux as opposed to Windows for all my games was a fun challenge.

But, now that I'm familiar with how to set up any game that needs a little help besides Proton, I'm starting to want to delve into my OS more to see what I can customize, and I think picking a new distro with slightly different architechture will be very nice.

Don't get me wrong, I still want something that works by itself more often than not. But I would love to have something a little more cutting-edge that gives me a little more control.

I started with Linux by installing Kubuntu, and I really miss KDE Plasma. I know Kubuntu is still on Plasma 5, and I've been wanting to find a distro that lets me use Plasma 6.

I've narrowed my choices down to three distros: Nobara, Garuda, and Bazzite.

So far, I've confirmed that Nobara and Garuda come with Plasma 6, but I haven't found that information for Bazzite yet.

So, what do you think about these distros? What are the pros and cons for you?

I'm leaning the most toward Garuda - but I'm worried Arch may be TOO big of a leap. I really just learned that Fedora is not Arch-based, so I know Garuda will be a bit of the odd one out of the three.

TL;DR: Nobara, Garuda, Bazzite - which one is good and do any suck?

EDIT:

Thanks, everyone, for the insightful and helpful comments! From what everyone has said, I've come to find that either CachyOS or Solus will fit my needs best.

CachyOS seems optimized for gaming, while Solus' curated rolling releases seem (to my untrained eye at least) to be somewhat of a step between the way Debian-based distros upgrade and the way Arch-based distros upgrade.

I'd love to hear people's experiences with both of these! I think I'm going to try to dual-boot them and see what setup looks like for both.😄

There once was a fellow named Bobby

So I started oral estradiol 2mg and bicalutimide 50mg about 2 weeks ago. A week in, I started feeling these weird pains in my body. They felt like small stabbing pains that immediately dulled - almost like the pain of getting an injection, and were always in my legs, arms, or chest.

I asked my doctor about it, and he had no idea. He just said they weren't a reported side effect of either med, and the only way to tell if it was the meds was to stop them.

I'm really paranoid about, like, fucking dying, so I stopped my medication 3 days ago and the pains have subsided. I was just wondering if anyone here has shared my experience. I'd like to know what the hell that was, and if it's safe to continue treatment.

For as many foolish things Kennedy has talked about wanting to institute, a drug ad ban is not one of them. Kinda awesome, actually.

The funniest part was when he said he was speaking and asked to be allowed to finish. Then he started delivering his statement very calmly and quietly (for Trump), and it somehow ended with him ramping up for only these words and shouting "SHE WANTS TRANSGENDER OPERATIONS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS IN PRISON." It's like being at grandpa's for dinner, he starts off pointing out the gas prices are high and one sentence later he's talking about Kamala's communist dictatorship that she modeled after Maoist China.
