The article doesn't specify about this, but will this require a console device code like the current switch emulator this is based on does? Either way I'm not able to run this until it's runnable on cachyos

    I would love to revisit some games, but the online aspect is a big portion that I've been missing. I would love to revisit some of the world's people created in little big planet. Is that possible?

    Having read through some of the comments I just wanted to add one thing. If you find that one distro doesn't quite do what you need, don't be afraid to wipe it again and install a different distro. I migrated from windows 10 to Linux mint, I found it frustrating for gaming, and then from mint I switched to cachyOS, which is built from the same OS that the steam deck uses. I haven't had any similar issues since. Find what works for you, and don't be afraid to try something else

    I was a picky eater as a child. There are tons of foods I didn't like and would not eat. As an adult I've been challenging myself to try these foods again. The most dramatic difference in what I tasted versus what I expected was just fresh cut strawberries. I was at a wedding and they had a fruit display. I tried one, and then I got more. It turns out that a lot of the foods I didn't like as a kid were either not the right temperature or bad quality.

    I think that in order to explain my thoughts on this I want to explain how warehouses transport pallets of stuff with plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap for transporting/moving stuff is incredibly useful, but not how you might think. It's not that the stuff inside is any safer than if you didn't use it. It's more that the stuff inside is incredibly contained and likely to hold it's shape even if things start to break. Which means you won't have a giant mess to clean up, and you can reasonably rely on it to support any other things stacked on top of your pallet.

    This wouldn't work for safeguarding your house, because if you've ever dunked something wrapped in Saran wrap you'll notice that it's not always water tight. Add extreme winds and the wrap will likely peel off and make things worse. I think you'd probably have a giant mess, and be no more protected than if you didn't use any Saran wrap at all

    I feel like every season tries something a little bit new on the premise of the space race. I also feel like there is too much show for how much I enjoy every season. The characters are oddly flat, and their dialogue is cringe. Also they do some things that are just utterly fucked up. One character fucks her husband's best friend's child (who was also best friends with her dead son growing up together).

    The space stuff can be dramatic and fun and all of it is visually well made, but I am increasingly finding that the fluff between the truly space sequences are less and less worth it

    The game comes out today. Has anyone had a chance to check it out yet? I played the demo and wrote my review below.

    I played the demo on steam deck and I mostly enjoyed it. It more or less plays out a tutorial mission while the events of the pilot play out.

    Game play (in the demo) had 4 distinct parts: space combat, away missions, navigating and flying around space, and ship "stuff".

    I disliked the space combat the most. It was an odd mix of turnbased and real-time actions. I never knew where the enemy ship was, and I had trouble balancing the repairs i needed to survive.

    Away missions are essentially choose your own adventure text games with some cool art depicting the scenes based on who you select for your mission and what they do.

    Navigating and flying around space was fun, but I can see it getting very boring very quickly. Fly from wherever you are to the next system. fly around the planets picking up resources, investigating signals, talking to civilizations. I think if they find a creative way to mix this part up, it can be tons of fun.

    Ship "stuff" is very derivative of games like fallout shelter. You have a sideview of the entire ship. you can repurpose rooms for different things, assign personnel to various places like medical or engineering. You can even install new weaponry or equipment to use in space combat or for flying around.

    I'll be picking up this game eventually, I am curious what anyone else thinks about it, too.

     

    I have recently been going on a city pop genre binge, and previously found this song. I also saw it on an instagram reel, that I no longer have. I was impressed by the trumpet playing, and wanted to listen to the whole song, and possibly more from that artist/group.

    I've tried looking through japanese city-pop playlists on spotify and youtube, but it doesn't seem to be a big one, like Stay with Me or something. I also tried looking into japanese jazz (and found some great music), but no luck identifying this song.

    I dont know what the lyrics were, but the bits I remember are a short trumpet introduction, with a chromatic pick up into when the phrase starts. The female voice is harmonized and sings a phrase, which is then responded by a group of trumpets belting very high notes in a loud and powerful chord. This sort of voice/trumpet switch off happens for the verse I can remember, but thats about it.

    Does this sound at all familiar to anyone?
