Hey, it’s okay, friend, not every game has to be for everyone and that’s fine.
What worked for me, I guess, was to not approach it in terms of a game where I’m trying to make progress, so much as a vast place with a lot of mysteries that all actually make sense once you work it out; and that happens naturally if you let your curiosity drive you. You will, in fact, be making progress; you just won’t realize it until the pieces fall into plane and, all at once, you know.
OUTER WILDS! If you’ve played it, you know why. (If you haven’t, do not ask. Play it.)
Ska peaked with Skibidi tbh.
Sandy updates never fail to spark joy. :)
God I sure hope so. This is the only life I’ve got.
Only if you think someone’s position on the spectrum never changes over time. Which, judging from the microsecond moment of pause induced in “straights” by the proximity of shirtless Jason Momoa, is not how this works.
I got pummeled so hard by the Craw Lake gauntlet with its awful erratic flying enemies that by the time I beat it I had finger blisters. XD
I wouldn’t mind it if they toned down the gauntlets a little.
Maybe Macron should start selecting ministers from the parties that actually won the elections, for a change. If not getting his governments toppled repeatedly is the goal, that’d be a good start.
Mint is just perfectly fine, don’t listen to the naysayers.
As the old observation goes, novices use something like Mint because it’s there, and it works; intermediate users use something like Arch because they want the control to tweak things in the greatest depths; experts use something like Mint because it’s there, and it works.

I spent way too much time on Red Baron. The simulation was just good enough to convey the awkwardness of piloting machines that in the end were made of wood, fabric and heroic faith, including the Sopwith Camel’s notorious torque issue that made it constantly drift to the right.
See my answer above for my personal take on this. TotK is a bigger, longer game with far more things to do, but in filling the delicate emptiness that’s at the heart of BotW, they also made TotK… mundane. Greater, by most metrics. But mundane.
When I played TotK, I enjoyed myself a lot, then moved on to the next item on my pile.
When I played BotW, I experienced something unique, and it stuck with me since.
EDIT: Folks, maybe don’t downvote OP just because you disagree with them? They opened an interesting discussion and I for one am glad for it.
Then I’d pick BotW.
Like another poster said, BotW is a once in a lifetime experience, and somehow strikes a kind of beautiful perfection even as, oddly, TotK is mechanically better in most respects.
BotW achieves something unique by dropping you in what’s left of Hyrule a century after Hyrule was defeated. And it’s a wilderness that could have been desolate, but it’s not: it’s beautiful. Things are growing back, despite everything. Wildlife, but settlements, also. It’s all sparse, this renewal, and there’s so much woe yet to fight. But it’s there. And the mood is both mournful, and quietly hopeful in a way I find comforting and deeply healthy.
BotW is built around a core of emptiness, but that emptiness is not a void: there are countless secrets and little wonders to unearth everywhere, everywhere. Sometimes it’s a treasure, or a trace from the past. Sometimes it’s the shapes that rain drops draw on wet moss. There’s wonder everywhere, just a wander away. BotK understands this, and elevates the wandering.
Where TotK is full of activities and minigames and quests everywhere, so you’re never at a loss for what to do next, and it’s by all measures a richer, bigger, fuller game. But it’s also, squarely, a lesser experience.
Of the two I’d pick BotW in an eyeblink and it’s not even close.
But that’s my answer, not yours. Only you know what you’re looking for in a video game.
Yay Sandy news! And I hope your surgery will go well and that you’ll receive fast.
The land theft was fundamental to the famine.
Under the British rule, the Irish were not allowed to own land and had to rent it from a British landlord; more important still, the Irish were not allowed to rent more than a half-acre.
The only crop with a sufficient yield per acreage to feed yourself and have enough left over to pay rent off a half-acre of land, is the potato.
The potato blight hit the entirety of Europe, not just Ireland. Only Ireland suffered a famine. Because the British rule had reduced the options for the Irish to potatoes or starvation.
WOW, yes, your problem is almost certainly Flatpak-related. I’m surprised you even got as far as you did. Flatpak is often great but does not tend to play well with applications that need less common capabilities.
I’d recommend installing VMM in a different way if that’s an option for you; I expect that will likely make your problem go away.
Well, what are the permissions of /run/usr/1000/doc/c0a3c3fc and what user are you running VMM as?
Wow, that’s a sobering read. And comprehensive, and insightful. I hope this gets some attention and results in much needed improvements in that area.
