Once you're used to it, dual boot is pretty smooth ime.

A more advanced option would be to run Windows through a VM in Linux, if you didn't wanna dual boot.

I personally just dual boot, all it takes is selecting your off-OS when you need it

So you hate waffles?

Not uncommon for me to see someone post a "game idea" and go on to just describe a 4 panel comic

The master just looked at the monk and said, "It'll pass."

Frustrated, the monk left and continued to diligently meditate.

Two weeks later, the monk returned, overjoyed. He'd finally had a breakthrough, thanks to master's advice.

But the master just looked at him and said, "It'll pass."

There's a related story about a monk who went to his master to ask for advice, because he was stuck in his meditations and beginning to doubt if any of it even worked, on top of being jealous of his peers who were experiencing epiphanies and visions, seemingly inching closer to enlightenment.

Calling Silksong a game stuck in "development heaven" is so funny to me

Also; mandatory "any distro is fine"

Anyone who likes their distro will shill it to you, and so the best solution is to pick something that doesn't seem too daunting like Ubuntu or Pop!OS and see how it feels.

If I didn't need to use windows exclusive software for my hobbies and work I'd exclusively use Linux.

Try dual booting! It's free and doesn't mess with your windows install as long as you follow instructions.

Linux has a slight learning curve but it's nowhere near as daunting as it seems.

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because

a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked

b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

The opening cutscene to resident evil 1, when the zombie turns around from eating the dude.

Could barely sleep for a week. Loved it

It's incredible that all of the people who would shit on Wikipedia as a source because "lol anyone can edit that" are now 100% reliant on asking questions to the lying robot machine that no human has any oversight over

Nothing sexier than a woman in full body armour proudly asking you when those chimichangas will be ready because she just spent all day sending 4 wretches to the underworld and is positively starving

“AI will help with pointless interactions like item descriptions and NPC barks” if it’s pointless it shouldn’t be in the game. If there’s nothing interesting about something, cut it

I used Godot to create a level prototyping/world design tool. It's great

"I can't brainstorm without ai" "I can't draw without ai" "I can't write without ai" "Ai summarized it for me cause it's too hard of a read"
So what exactly /can/ you do? Because you sound fucking useless to me

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

Leaf mentioned in the official itch discord server that the open case they have with Stripe right now is probably the most critical right now. Submit a complaint to Stripe here: stripe.com/legal/compla...

A parody of the "I'm joining the war on drugs on the side of the drugs" meme that reads "I'm joining the war on gooner games on the side of the gooner games" with the main character sprite from flipwitch in the top right hand corner

In light of the recent news regarding Itch

Several people in suits reach towards a man with glasses sitting at a table, holding a microphone. The latter speaks into the microphone, while the former attempt to stop him.

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.

even if the fiction in question is something disagreeable, or something you find repulsive, or something you think nobody should read.

fiction policing is always done based on vibes and feels which has never been a good method of establishing sensible laws.

fiction deserves free speech above all.

even promoting shouldn't be prohibited as long as it's within a work of fiction.

fiction censorship exists solely for the purpose of furthering a puritan agenda. fiction does not cause harm, so it shouldn't be censored, no matter the form.

you shouldn't accept it under any circumstance

The following is a non-exhaustive list of prohibited themes present in card processing networks. We are unable to support the sale of any works containing these topics: Non-consensual content (real or implied) Underage or “barely legal” themes Incest or pseudo-incest content Bestiality or animal-related Rape, coercion, or force-related Sex trafficking implications Revenge porn / voyeur / hidden cam Fetish involving bodily waste or extreme harm (e.g., “scat,” “vomit”)

itch has quietly updated the creator FAQ with new adult content guidelines

The headlong rush into puritanical pearl clutching that society has done to cater to some controlling right wingers strictly out of fear is so goddamn depressing

If you can't handle the idea of someone else getting off to things you don't even have to look at, then maybe being an adult is not for you.

"But this is about exploitative porn games—" who cares, goddamn. Don't play them, then. Turn off your computer.

Congratulations, it is now that much harder for victims to tell their own stories and process their own experiences and grief.
