I'm fine with subscription services where applicable and what's appropriate depends on personal choice. Personally, music is very important and I own everything on CD, I don't do streaming. I want to own my music because it's something I can and will replay indefinitely.

Games I won't generally tend to replay and anything important I can buy from GOG.

The only TV and film I want to own would be music or comedy. The only streaming subscription I currently have is Prime (the Wife likes the delivery aspect) but we're ditching that when they introduce ads into everything next month... and then want to charge more to remove them! They really are taking people for fools Enough's enough.

Steam's telling me I played Pripyat and Clear Sky over twelve years ago... I thought it was longer! I played through Steam on Wine at that time. Really enjoyed those games. I won't be buying at full price to play through Proton though.

That guy's doing well to play the guitar with gloves on in the first video

Not building... nooooo! I spend most of my time in Valheim just building castles! This will be top of my shopping list. This dev is amazing, how he does it all is incredible.

I tried Pipewire a good few months back, out of curiosity and I couldn't use it with my DAW (Mixbus), using JACK. 100% CPU usage, xruns agogo.

I tried it again a couple of weeks back and it's working flawlessly with my USB UMC204HD, so I'm all in now. The JACK interface is solid and I set up an equaliser sink for my headphones easily enough. Easyeffects is also pretty straightforward, although I'm not utilising it right now.

p.s. never used PA, just ALSA and JACK and have not had any problems with audio but Pipewire's the future and, to be fair, it's pretty much plug and play.

Quoting: kuhpunktVery very nice documentary.

I thought I'd take a quick look and skim through but watched it all, very interesting!

This sounds right up my street. Will be investigating forthwith! Thanks for the review and alerting me to it.

That's the first time I've ever logged into Prime gaming. I got the GOG codes anyway, thanks!

Quoting: fabertaweI've more or less finished playing Fallout 3 for the first time and unless they fix the code to stop it crashing every five minutes, then stick with the original (cheaper), as you'll have to mod it for a stable play through anyway and there's a plethora of QOL and graphic enhancement mods to choose from.

I played through Fallout 3 (on Windows back then) and cannot remember any crashes. I didn't use mods.

Wow, you were very lucky then
