I did maybe an hour or two after the halfway point and dropped it. I couldn’t do it at that point. I’m sure it gets better but I completely lost interest after that.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had any time for gaming at all, but this past week I’ve actually had time for two gaming sessions which has been awesome.

Hitman: World of AssassinationIt’s my second most played game of all time, so when I finally had time to play a game this one was the first that came to mind. I’m actually missing a ton of achievements so I’ve been working at getting those. I think I managed to pick up the rest of the easy ones now, it’s just all the mastery ones and some hidden ones left. So I’m still less than halfway unfortunately. But that’s okay! I’m excited to work for these ones, hopefully I find the time to continue.

Medal of Honor (1999)After seeing a post on Lemmy that someone finished a fan remake of this game, I decided to check it out. I’ve only ever played Airborne from this series, and quite liked my time with that one, and I’m having a blast with this one too. I’m so far two levels into it. No idea how long the game is, but it’s a ton of fun. It’s also got me in the mood for more shooters, but I’ve been out of the FPS scene for years so I don’t know what’s good anymore. If anyone knows of a good single player FPS with good gun controls that’s not owned by EA/doesn’t need a launcher and third party account to access, I’d appreciate it. I used to love Battlefield games, but that’s EA. I also used to love Titanfall, but same issue. Then I thought of the newer Battlefront games, but again, yeah. I don’t want CoD either. I’ve already played DOOM.

I commented this on the OP:

Probably a dumb question, but I started playing it, went to check controls and accidentally tried to change the control for changing weapons. When I went to set it back (scroll up or down) it’s not accepting scrolling as an input. Does anyone know a solution? Or if one exists? There’s no option for reverting to default configs.

Hopefully someone will see it on the crosspost here and can help out.

That system seems so alien to me, I can’t even imagine. When my wife gave birth, she lost a ton of blood, like, far more than normal. She ended up needing both an iron and blood transfusion, and we needed to stay for a few extra days. She got a ton of meds and got seen by several doctors. Plus my baby had a couple small issues too which needed to get treated. Everything worked out okay, and everyone’s healthy now, thankfully. We didn’t pay a single cent. It was all covered. I can’t imagine making those decisions thinking about how much it would cost. I remember shortly after birth we were looking at how much birth costs in the States, it was insane. I can’t remember how much now but it was just for regular birth, I’m sure all the extras we needed would’ve cost more.

It’s literally GamingOnLinux.

Did you have to pay the difference out of pocket? Or is there a discounted price for insurance providers to pay that laypeople aren’t approved for?

Whenever I go to the doctor, hospital, etc I just give them my health card (which is freely provided to every Canadian citizen) and they punch in the number into their system, then that’s that. I don’t have to pay or contact insurance or anything. Some stuff doesn’t count such as the dentist but dental care is almost always provided through work benefits.

I rarely see it in Canada. I’ve only seen it at farmers markets. I did a quick search and apparently it is fully legal, just uncommon. As long as you either advertise the highest cost or clearly explain the different cost levels (like in the OP) it’s fine apparently. The more you know.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I couldn’t help but notice there’s a different price for cash and card, is that normal in the States?

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago (5 children)

As a Canadian I genuinely can’t tell if this is an exaggeration or not.

Jesus died around AD 30-33. AD doesn’t mean After Death, it means Anno Domini, or Year of our Lord, referring to the number of years after his birth. So if Paul was born AD 5, Jesus would’ve been 5 years old when Paul was born.

I loved TLOU1, truly a fantastic game. The sequel, I never finished. Got a little over halfway through. I hope you beat it though.

 

Sorry for the late post, been a busy week.

 

I moved about a month ago and haven't touched my pc a whole lot from before packing it away and finally getting around to unpacking it.

I'm running CachyOS and finally got around to unburying it, and after trying to run a system update I'm met with this:

sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 cachyos-v4 is up to date

error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: vulkan-mesa-implicit-layers-1:25.3.5-2 and vulkan-mesa-device-select-1:25.2.7-2 are in conflict

I'm not super technologically inclined, not completely illiterate but no expert for sure. Usually I'd update my system regularly but with the move and otherwise being extremely busy lately I'm only getting around to it now. I tried looking it up first but I'm not sure if I just used the wrong search queries or what, but I couldn't get a good answer anywhere, so I thought I'd try here.

Thanks in advance for any help. I really do appreciate it.

Update: I got it working again! Thanks for everyone who offered help, and especially thanks to Ooops@feddit.org. For anyone who may have the same issue in the future, all I needed to do was update the conflicting packages on their own before doing a full system upgrade and it worked.
