I really liked DQ5. I played a translation on SNES emulators way back, but it was unfinished so it was a sloppy experience.

Went back to it when the DS remake came out, and I loved it. When I think of Dragon Quest I think of 5. I understand it’s part of a trilogy 4, 5, 6 as well but I didn’t play the others.

I’ve also played DQ3 on gameboy colour. I only played it halfway, but it was a good portable rpg for sure. I’d only played Final Fantasy Legend 3 on gameboy and this was much better. I just didn’t have much time for playing games then.

Used to have mIRC downloading music videos on the brand new 56k modem.

That seems about right. I think if someone really needs to jump in and say “how good was this……” or something, they could just start a new thread anyway.

I love it

X-Men

A second is really hard to pick though. There’s so many great kids shows from that time, if I picked one it would just be at random. Maybe Rocko’s Modern Life, because the absurdity of it stands out more than many others.

Is Luchasaurus out again?

That’s easy; because Ikey Doherty wanted to make one.

He abandoned Solus years ago as the project became something he didn’t enjoy anymore, and wanted to start a fresh project closer to his philosophy of engineering everything.

When a person starts a new project it’s usually because they want to.

So the key here is, in classic Ikey style, they want to use/develop all their own tools. engineer everything themselves to be exactly what they want it to be. This is what suits them and Ikey has the chops to do this better than most.

He started this project about 5 years back as Serpent OS, rebranded it last year as he got to alpha release stages.

GeekFTW really seemed to love doing this. Hope they come back.

I assume they’re playing alter ego on a Commodore 64 emulator

It felt like such a surprise because he’s always been pushed. He’s always been at least upper midcard. He’s held belts. And even when he had a gimmick that wasn’t getting over (book of Hobbs), Tony still tried to push him.

He never seems to have been one of those guys that is desperately trying to get an angle and being given nothing.

As others have s pointed out, it looks like as a relatively new user you’ve tried a whole lot of stuff meant for advanced users and managed to completely avoid the tried and trusted Linux mainstays that have been around forever. Like KDE, Gnome, xfce, and most user friendly distros like Linux mint.

Tiling WMs for example are best for people who want to spend weeks if not months working in their configs and dot files, and are privately designed for keyboard and not mouse use (hence the WM you identified as not having a button to close the window)

But I’m curious for you end up doing these things as a new user. Is there a lot of bad advice going on out there?

I saw this guy in ROH years ago and thought he was pretty cool.

Yeah, every time. Add /trending or something to the address. It’s only the homepage that triggers that stream.ts thing

Anna’s Archive is the perfect place to find specific translations of ebooks. Something I hadn’t thought of the need for until recently.

I’ve only tried wine and GE-proton through Heroic, Lutris and Bottles. Always gives some wine error.

I’ve never tried it through Steam.

I have it on gog too, but I’ve been on Linux since 2009 and it just throws wine errors every time. The last time I was able to play it was on a Pentium M laptop I had from 2006 or something.

I was putting it out there as a suggestion for inexperienced Linux users to manage their appimages. Writing a desktop file won’t update your appimages or handily install them in a consistent location.

I believe if we imagine a Venn diagram, users of this software would have some overlap with users who’d prefer or require a gui tool.

Years ago. I thought it had been abandoned but I see it started getting updates again last year.

Interstate 76. I haven’t been able to get it working on any machine after the mid 2000s.

No comment on the software because I have no use case for it, just wanted to note that GearLever can “install”, and integrate your appimages into your menu quick and easy, and in most cases keep them updated too.
