I'm unsure if GTA V was ever Steamdeck Certified, but I imagine it might have to do with that. They may only offer this for games they said were certified and the devs broke it after the fact. I know Monster Hunter was.

Fair points! I was being somewhat hyperbolic. Compared to us, they are all-powerful, but, they are not in the grand scheme.

I couldn't remember if the planes were infinite or not. But I knew they were at least their own worlds under the Daedra's dominion.

One thing I do remember though is that Mehruns Dagon was actually created in Nirn by some of the Magna Ge before they peaced out. They created him because the Kalpa Nirn was in was being ruled over by an incredibly cruel and tyrannical race with no hope of change, so theh created the very embodiment of change, but realized too late they didn't "install any brakes" so to speak.

And his name is ~~John Cena~~ Mahruns Dagon. So you're right, he isn't evil, it's just in his nature to make things change. I don't remember how he finally ended up banished from Nirn, but that's why he believes Nirn is his by right, cause he was created there.

On one hand, this does point out that there is at least some evidence suggesting they were actually used as weapons.

On the other hand, this also exemplifies exactly why they were so uncommon. Even if you could use them in combat, I imagine any benefit gained from the hook is drastically outweighed by the extra complications to fighting with it.

This, tbh. Propaganda is a hell of a drug. And the worst part is, it's not a drug most people willingly take. They're blindsided, their phycology is abused to suck them in, and before long, without even realizing it, they're in a completely different reality, scared and paranoid. It's terrifying and sad.

My comment wasn't "Linux works perfectly in every single regard." It was "Linux isn't hard to use for the things that do work on it." I'm well aware Linux isn't right for every use-case, nor did I say it was, I said it wasn't hard to use. Compatibility is a separate issue here.

It depends! You'll get a lot of recommendations. And they're probably good recommendations. But there are most certainly Distros out there that are very simple. I would suggest you don't be afraid to Distro Hop until you find one that you really feel at home on.

If you're looking for something that's simple, out of the box, and out of your way, I'd avoid anything Arch based. Ubuntu or Debian based Distros will have the most documentation and therefore minimize the amount of time you spend looking for answers, however, Fedora based Distros, in my experience, are rock solid and sit comfortably between stable and the bleeding edge.

Todoist. It's nothing to do with "productivity" per se, but that is a benefit I've reaped.

Instead of having to remember what feels like 100 things all the time and doing 2 of them, I just remember the app. And it's a hell of a lot less stressful. The sub-task function also helps simplify larger things and makes them simpler to tackle. It's a game changer as an AuDHD individual.

I would vastly prefer that gas cars be phased out. But I believe that this is a bit different:

Cigarettes don't offer any benefit beyond making you "feel good." And you don't need cigarettes to feel good, and, in fact, literally any other option is better for both you, and everyone around you, save for harder drugs.

Gasoline cars, while poisonous to the world around us, also offer us far greater benefits: supplies and logistics, we can carry goods further, wider, and faster than we ever could without them. And because of that, without them, sure we'd pollute a lot less, but then we'd have a far harder time carrying critical resources to more remote parts of the world where trains and planes can't reach, and people would starve or lack critical medicine.

As it stands, EVs are not a reliable substitute. They're getting there, I want them to get there, but I disagree with the notion that cars should be made illegal as things currently stand. I don't think it's nearly as cut and dry as cigarettes are. I can only hope to live long enough to see a world where gas powered cars could be outlawed without leaving hundreds of millions of people high and dry.

Why does this guy look like Vauthry from FFXIV?

I've been getting back into Guild Wars 2 lately! Nobara Linux has made the game run the smoothest it's even been, and ReShade has it looking even better.

Now we just need to add some robot animals and dinosaurs to complete it!

That aside, H:ZD is a beautiful game, so it's 100% a good thing IMO that it resembles it. You did a fantastic job!

Indeed. New Grounds was before my time, but I've been there. The point was more to illustrate that there is definitely potential in this thing.
