Did I say something stupid enough that you needed to check my profile?

Good, that was on purpose.

  • TLDR: If you like massive multiplayer games, those might not work. Most of the rest will if using compatibility settings in steam.

    I would say it depends on the game and platform: most games I play in Steam are just install and play, sometimes I just need to activate the compatibility options.

    https://protondb.com is a fantastic trove of info for how to play most games. Though it might not cover them all as I was told, that hasn’t been my case.

    Lutris, on the other hand is a bit tougher as you said, and sometimes certain games require some time investment to run.

    That said, I don’t play massive multiplayer games that might require anticheat and those won’t work on linux AFAIT.







  • Let’s put it this way: If in our lifetime we can simulate the intelligence of a vinegar fly as general intelligence, that would be a monumental landmark in AGI. And we’re far, far, far away from it.

    As far as the iron age was from the metal alloys used in the Space Shuttle.

    Talking about AGI simulating higher intelligence at the level of a dog or a cat, dear I say a pigeon or a crow is as far fetched as expecting ancient Egyptians to harness the power of the atom.



  • That’s why the “hustling culture” is so important and prevalent in our society right now.
    Everyone “knows” someone that made bank with either youtube, selling some pyramid-scheme product, bitcoins, some collectibles, craft beer, lottery… you name it.

    Social media (and before that was TV) is selling us the idea that there’s a shortcut to becoming rich, you just need to find it, hustle, and you will become one of the rich persons.

    That’s also why there’s so much cult of wealth and billionaires.

    That said, a large portion of Millennials and after them have a rather negative view of billionaires and are rather skeptical of becoming rich, or even becoming home owners.
