Quoting: DoctorJunglistI'll have to give Sunshine a proper look one day.

Yesterday I could have just looked out the window. But today--well, earlier it was raining. Now I guess there's just Risk of Rain.

Quoting: wvstolzingOn the cli, it comes with a package manager of sorts; otherwise it integrates with gui managers like KDE Discover, or GNOME Software via packagekit transparently. I use `flatpak update` on the cli, whenever I check for stuff on the regular package manager.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualYou just click the Update All button in GNOME Software or KDE Discover to update your system + Flatpak packages. They're all managed via PackageKit.

Quoting: belisamaYes, Mint has integrated Flatpak updates into its update manager.

Thanks everyone, that was very informative. And actually makes me much more likely to grab something from Flathub in future.

A lot of talk about the high seas . . . It occurs to me that if you were actually on the high seas, in international waters, with a satellite internet connection . . . piracy would be legal.

Quoting: JarmerKind of reminds me a lot about all the app-based sports gambling right now which is a pandemic in my mind.

At least app-based sports gambling makes more sense than app-based actual gambling, which there is plenty of as well. I mean, with sports gambling at least you know for sure whether your bet should be paying off. With online gambling-gambling, you win . . . when the people who made the app tell you you win? Um, sure, sounds legit. I cannot fathom why anyone anywhere is enough of a sucker to do this.

Quoting: CatKillerThat's kinda weird since "Atari" is Infogrames - they just changed their name to Atari after they bought the Atari assets when it went bust.

Makes a weird kind of sense to me. Say I'm an Infogrames person, and we decided to buy the Atari stuff because dammit, can't let that stuff go down the tubes, and maybe it's an opportunity. So we gotta change our name to Atari, because otherwise selling Atari stuff will look unpersuasive. But I'm nostalgic about my original company with its old name; if I wasn't into nostalgia I wouldn't be doing Atari stuff, right? So once we get some success, I want to make something with the good old Infogrames name again too.

So, I've never really used flatpaks, except maybe one or two that were actually in my distro's repository. So I'm wondering--If you install stuff from Flathub, how do you keep it up to date? Is there some mechanism or do you just have to sort of remember that you ought to, application by application? Do you update, or do you just reinstall a newer version?

Quoting: legluondunetWhat distribution you will advice for gaming?

Not Mint. I love Mint, I use Mint, but Mint is not a serious gaming platform--all its stuff is old, and although I'm sure there are ways to make all the relevant stuff be up to date it's probably a pain. Luckily for me I don't play the kind of game that needs you to be up to the minute.

They missed their chance. Should have had two viable sub-companies, one continuing to be called "Embracer Group" and the second "Extender Group". And then the third company would get all the debt and money-losing studios and be called "Extinguisher Group".

Ashlands . . . new game mechanics . . . I wonder if they'll be for asthma and emphysema?

Quoting: Mountain ManSo it's basically XCOM with superheroes.

I believe there is no base management, which is a big factor for me as I hate that part of XCOM.

That's correct! You can spend skillpoints to unlock new abilities and upgrades on heroes' skill trees, but there's no strategy or management layer between missions. (source: I'm working on this game ^_^ )

Is there a sort of "down time chatting at the safe house" thing like in Shadowrun?
