  • Most of my stuff works on Linux now, so, yay. Currently only thing holding me back from doing a full switch is essentially video editing.

    My current go-to video editor is Vegas Pro, and it just works like an extension of me, for me. I’ve tried few editors on linux (kdenlive, davinci) but they’re either very limited/odd/user-error-id10t or just doesn’t support video formats I need (davinci, free version doesn’t support h264 or hevc, and not feeling like shelling north of 300 USD for it). Next up on my testing plate is Shotcut, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.







  • Thanks for the insight!

    Not really a fan of GTA games, so… dunno if RDR is my kinda game to begin with. I do find westerns interesting at least.

    I’ve played the original 2 GTA games way back when, didn’t much care for the arcade chaos. 3 and Vice city were so-so, and… GTA4…

    GTA4 felt like bowling with cousin Roman more than a GTA game

    Ended up quitting GTA4 during tutorialization :D

    It had me going to some inane date with some lady, when I was driving her home I apparently goofed, bumped something with my car and long story short: I died by police gunfire in a minigolf track’s pond. Then game said I had to go do the date again. NOPE.







  • It’s been a while since I last played fallout 4 - outside of Fallout: London, while it’s “technically” the same game, it’s not. Haven’t played the “next gen” patch version.

    Anyhoo:

    Right there with you about the settlements.

    Building my own fortress just for the sake of it? Sure, but functionally literally a single container box, few crafting tables, bed and maybe walls if you really want to is needed. I don’t mind some settlers to make the place a bit more lively, but they have absolutely zero agency of their own. I just can’t be bothered to micromanage a bunch of idiots who seem to be starving until you literally hold their hand and make them farm the plants that were right next to them all the time. Haven’t tried sim settlements mod.

    The thing that starts to really annoy me is how some settlers seem to get captured by bandits all the time. My “favorite” was this one lady who got captured on weekly basis, and was held every week in the same bunker, tied down on the same spot. After several rescues the bandits just stopped respawning, so she was just sitting in the bunker tied down and all the doors were open. I like to imagine it was her kink and not just badly implemented repeating quest. Eventually I just stopped caring, it was getting stupid - even in Fallout’s standards. In general the generated “quests” are fine, but they start to repeat pretty quickly.

    My preferred method was just to mod carry weights to zero and vacuum everything scrap looking on my adventures and craft away - I know I could just consolecommand in the parts, but I’d rather do some collection on my own.

    The adventuring in F4 was pretty great, I did enjoy snooping around the city and doing odd jobs here and there. I’ve played the game few times to like lvl 60-whatever but never finished the main quest - furthest I’ve gotten was apparently to start pushing the final attack to the institute but I just couldn’t be bothered. I did finish the dlc’s, tho.

    All in all, kinda feels like it’s the middle of the road Bethesda-game, decent-ish on it’s own, better with mods.
