Agreed. As someone who doesn’t really like shooters and never got into League or DOTA, I had mixed feelings about playing a ‘hero shooter/moba’. I’m actually blown away at how good it is. They did phenomenal job. 10/10.

Don’t worry bro, its just me and 2000 of my closest friends. Totally legit.

I’m sure nuclear can be super safe and efficient. The science is legit.

The problem is, at some point something critical to the operation of that plant is going to break. Could be 10 years, could be 10 days. It’s inevitable.

When that happens, the owner of that plant has to make a decision to either:

1. Shut down to make the necessary repairs and lose billions of dollars a minute.
2. Pretend like it’s not that big of a deal. Stall. Get a second opinion. Fire/harass anyone who brings it up. Consider selling to make it someone else’s problem. And finally, surprise pikachu face when something bad happens.

In our current society, I don’t have to guess which option the owner is going to choose.

Additionally, we live in a golden age of deregulation and weaponized incompetence. If a disaster did happen, the response isn’t going to be like Chernobyl where they evacuate us and quarantine the site for hundreds of years until its safe to return. It’ll be like the response to the pandemic we all just lived through. Or the response to the water crisis in Flint Michigan. Or the train derailment in East Palestine.

Considering the fallout of previous disasters, I think it’s fair to say that until we solve both of those problems, we should stay far away from nuclear power. We’re just not ready for it.

Oh shit that’s crazy! Thanks for the detailed answer, I had no idea. Hopefully the reason it never released is cause they realized no one asked for that shit and went back to the drawing board… I mean it is Ubisoft so prolly not but one can hope.

Did they ever release the sequel to this game? I remember seeing a trailer for it a long time ago and it looked awesome. I’ve never played the series.

Facts!! That shit is SO good. Its coming in the fall or some shit, yeah?

I love everything about League of Legends except for actually playing League of Legends.

The lore, character design and art style, Riot’s community engagement and approach to balance - all of it top tier.

But spending 40 minutes losing a game because your top lane got washed 0 and 6 and your shako support just keeps doing the worm in duo fucking sucks.

The community is toxic partly because the game design is infuriating. There’s like a thousand ways to lose - the draft, vision control, last hits on minions, objectives, items, team mates, technical skill, etc.

It all compounds into a really shitty, rage inducing, experience.

At this point, I’m just waiting for 2XKO to drop.

By running your applications in Flatpaks, you’re isolating them from the rest of your system. Essentially, Flatpaks save you from ruining your system because you installed 10 different copies of the wrong graphics drivers, while following random guides on the internet.

Running games in flatpaks ensures you’re using the latest drivers, so you dont really have to worry about it. It makes things SO much easier to manage from a linux gaming perspective.

That said, Flatpaks introduce a different kind of complexity to your system and there might be a bit of a learning curve before you feel confident troubleshooting any issues that come up, especially if you have no experience working in containerized environments.

Personally, I’m coming up on a year of daily gaming in Flatpaks and I’ve never had any issues.

I was in your boat a few years ago. I was familiar with a few linux distros because of my job but I was hesitant to switch because the games I was playing didnt have native linux support. Eventually, I started daily driving Ubuntu and after some minor tinkering with steam and lutris, I could play any game I wanted without any issues.

That said, while I think Ubuntu is a great distro over all, there’s a part of me that worries that its only a matter of time before it goes to shit… So within the last year, I made the switch to Debian 12 and I flatpak’d everything. It was seriously one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in the context of personal computing. Seriously, its fucking seamless. Fuck windows 4 lyfe. All my homies hate windows.

Why my mans look like he speak for the trees?

This is a top tier comment. Thank you.

Thank you for this. Shit is WILD confusing.

Debian 12 and flatpak everything. I recently made the switch from Ubuntu and I couldn’t be happier.

Nah you’re right. I totally forgot how good OW1 was in terms of community. OW league was good to. Damn, they really fucked that up. I think I blocked out how good it was because of how poorly it turned out. We’ll see if Microsoft can turn it around.

I think your problem is, at least in part, due to the fact that you’re connecting via usb. No matter how fast your drive is capable of going, your machine has to negotiate the read/write speeds based on the number of lanes available for the entire system.

You can think of it like this: all of your usb ports share physical ‘data lanes’ that exist on your machines motherboard. These data lanes send information to and from your external device and the cpu. Additionally, most motherboard manufactuers hardwire various internal components into these data lanes as a way to save money without sacrificing hardware features. So now your external drive has to share a limited number of data lanes with all of your usb ports + anything else the manufacture decided to hardwire into.

When you connect your usb device to your machine, the device tells your operating system ‘hey, I can do 100000 writes per second’ then your operating system takes a look at all of the data lanes and determines how many lanes it can allocate to the external device, responding with ‘ok. This system is very busy so I need you to do 200 writes per second instead of 100000’

Generally, when people talk about how fast nvme is, it’s not because its just ‘better’ than everything else. It’s because its usually connected directly to the motherboard via m.2 slots. These m.2 slots usually (but not always) have dedicated data lanes to the cpu.

I know this stuff can be confusing and manufactures make it worse with how they advertise their products but I hope this helps.

I love this. I hope the devs get the financial support they need. If not, I hope they take what they learned and make a clone like Dota did. HotS was the only bright spot in the last 16 years of AB horseshittery, imo.

No thanks.

This is terrifiying.

It wont load for me either.
