I appreciate the thorough response and the attempt to help, truly I do. But I feel like it’s kind of missed the point a bit.

I actually run a home server, have written some scripts here and there for the server (particularly backup scripts), use VMs and have figured out pass through; my point is that I’m not completely clueless here, while still not exactly being a power user. Even though I’ve done that stuff, and have that knowledge, it’s not a fun user experience for me. When I open my Bluetooth settings, I want it to just work. I don’t want to have to dig into the terminal and troubleshoot stuff.

Windows sucks for a lot of reasons, but I at least, personally, never had issues with Bluetooth or HDR.

I agree, but I suspect that info was on the box.

But also, these aren’t hidden features. That info should be on the box. I’m not trying to defend companies demanding your email and an account to use an electric toothbrush, but also at a certain point you gotta look at the consumer and say, you bought that. Electric toothbrushes aren’t exactly a monopoly out there; you can buy one that doesn’t require an email.

I cannot for the life of me get HDR working consistently across games on my CachyOS rig. So I would say true. I also find Bluetooth is my biggest pain point for now. I seem to only be able to connect to stuff from the command line. Some Linux hardcores here might roll their eyes at that complaint, but I’m not afraid to admit that I prefer a GUI.

Please don’t let your cats out without a leash and supervision. This is for the sake of both your cat and everything else around you.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a grocery store where, when asked if I had the loyalty card and I said no, they didn’t just scan their own thereby giving me the discounted prices.

It’s quite different from Jusant. I found Jusant to be to arcade racers what Cairn is to simulation racers. Jusant was like a puzzle game with a climbing aesthetic, whereas I found Cairn to be truly about the climbing.

It’s basically israel vs israel.

If you don’t count all the Palestinians dying.

I played the demo for Cairn and genuinely can’t remember the last time I had a sense of accomplishment in a game that compared to teaching the top of the demo climb… And then the reveal of how much farther you’d go in the full game. It was very exciting for me. A very novel, interesting experience for me.

As for Witchbrook, I love Stardew Valley and magical fantasy, so that is looking like a no brainer.

Genuinely stoked for Cairn and Witchbrook.

No it wasn’t quite the same looking. It’s not like a 3d platform game from what I recall, more like an old school dungeon crawler/adventure. 3d was a bad way to describe it, I should just have linked the trailer lol

Well, no, that’s not all that you said.

Here’s hoping you’re right.

I plan on celebrating that illustrious day, but I do think we need to temper expectations a bit. I am truly not convinced it will actually change much. Trump is a symptom not the mastermind.

Seemed like you attacked a position that I did not take. If I misunderstood, then my bad.

Not only are they doing well, they have a new 3d mode or game coming out, not sure which it was.

Good.

That’s a nice straw man you’ve built there, but me and my opinion are over here.

I read about their native implementation and think that is awesome of them. I have been meaning to try it again since but honestly remain skeptical that it’s an enjoyable experience, for my standards at least. I think that is a game that will remain on desktop for me.

Yeah that’s fair. I definitely made do with less than ideal playing conditions when I was younger and it was all I could manage. Bit of a privileged take from me.
