Quoting: EikeI bought and played it, now. Well, played parts of it. It does have style, it does have good music, but in the end, it's a collection of not too interesting mini games.

A vehicle for the art. That's pretty much what I expected.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIn the PGA system, because of a design error, the processor is not firmly attached to the socket. And because of that ...this happen very often ... :|

How often does this actually happen? Any statistics available anywhere? As an anecdote, I've built and rebuilt many computers over the years and I have never had this problem. I know people who sell and repair hardware and they've never mentioned this either. I've seen bent pins, but nothing that couldn't be easily fixed.

As you said, it can happen. Especially if the socket has a flimsy locking mechanism, like some do. The "very often" part I find less credible.

Quoting: officerniceI quit the game because of the horrible community that inhabits it.

I solved that problem by disabling global voice and text chats and only playing teamed up with friends.

Quoting: tuubiRocket League is pretty much the only online multiplayer game I play with my friends, and (for that reason) my most played game on Steam.

Hey Epic, I know I suck at being social, but do you really have to make it even harder for me? :(

We'll find you something else buddy ;-)
Heck , I'd play FOSS games with you anytime.

I know man, I know. Thanks. The problem is, I really am not that social. Online games stress me out, even with friends. Rocket league is/was somehow different. I could just relax and do a few quick rounds. 550+ hours worth of quick rounds so far.

But I guess I should look for something else.

Quoting: ShmerlFor drawing, try Krita. It's a lot better than Gimp for that. The later is a good raster image processing editor.

So where does Inkscape come into all this?

It's an awesome vector graphics editor.

Quoting: LinasIn Denmark I see people using Linux on their laptops from time to time. MacBooks are very popular. But I don't think I have ever seen a Chromebook, either in use, or in a shop. Not anywhere in Northern or Eastern Europe for that matter.

Statcounter seems to disagree:

I said that I have never seen one, and that is still true. :P

True for me as well. But maybe they're being used in schools. That seems to be Google's strategy. You know, the one they copied from Apple. (EDIT: Of course it's a big part of the MS monopoly too.) Personally I don't really care which of these corporations nets all that cash, but I wish it was none of them.

In Finland Statcounter actually puts Linux at close to 3% of the market, which is nice. Denmark seems to be the least Linux-friendly Nordic country. Well, except for Iceland, but I don't know if that data is trustworthy. They seem to have gone from 4% Linux to less than one percent in four months.

I don't really know that much about games on other platforms, but I'd be into another big, exploration heavy open world adventure in the vein of Mad Max or Shadow of Tomb Raider. Or Dirt Rally 2. Or a really good RPG.

Quoting: The_Aquabatwell it's a real catastrophe, the smoke went as far as here in south america. But also it's disappointing that global press didn't have this kind of coverage with the amazonas fires, lots of hollywood artist that are donating and sharing the grief on social media didn't have the same attitude with the amazonas fires.

It was very well covered and shared on social media here in Germany. That's why I compared the two above.

I avoid social media, but actual news outlets covered the fires quite often here in Finland.
