Autism time.
So the biggest obstacle for me when I tried out Linux was installing stuff manually outside of steam and often steam itself wouldn't work which was probably a result of me not understanding how to setup dependencies etc. Maybe it's just because I've got more time to look through all of this but I think they might have changed a bit how Lutris works as well to be a bit more user friendly since I last checked. From my perspective I'd look at the damn interface and it felt like I was dealing with a virtual machine.
If I were sailing the high seas for example, how would I set everything up?
Yes, for the record I know it's not actually a virtual machine before the Linux autists rip me a new one but that's just my windows experience talking. I found it very confusing because I didn't know what files were where, if I wanted to for example put mods into Fallout 4 I wouldn't know where I could do it. How do you guys organise your files? What's your process for keeping track of multiple hard disks and naming conventions etc.?
Yes this is all really basic stuff by Linux user standards, but as a potential end user looking to give it a shot I thought it would be helpful having an up to date thread on this for people to spam information on because as it turns out there's a lot of out of date topics and videos I'm seeing floating around about this.
Off topic, but I'm curious, OP. Do you have your very own nemesis around here or something? I've never seen a comment or post from you that doesn't have at least one consistent downvote.
He makes a lot of fairly good contributions, but much of what he writes is also needlessly verbose and overly self-congratulatory and self-referential. Pay attention to how often he brings out stuff like “like I say,” “as I’ve been talking about,” “like I predicted,” as well as talking about his “autism” (in the context where you’re supposed to infer he means “intelligence”). Or how often his train of thought jumps through a semi-related anecdote about a great thing he did elsewhere.
I’m not one of his downvote followers, but it does get on my nerves. I imagine it gets on some other people’s as well.
I realise this is a late as fuck but I will respond to it because it's a fair criticism of my writing even if I find it baffling. Been genuinely busy with stuff at the moment and getting hyper about things.
The other stuff aside because I do predict things in my defence I think you guys are latching onto language use way too much and reading into things way too much because I just shitpost. I write that way because I'm so often having to repeat myself for various stuff and as it turns out it's fucking necessary because even with my actual work having a sticky thread people seem to don't realise I've even made these points before hand or posted stuff up for everyone to read.
I can appreciate how that would annoy people so I'll adjust my writing style like that in the future but again I don't mean anything by it in most cases. Part of me is tempted to just make it worse in order to troll but I won't lol because I can see how that would be annoying. My counterpoint would be and I'm going to call it out because they've popped into this thread already. The majority of my downvotes come from the jew spergers over in ConsumeProduct and yes I know exactly where this is coming from.
They bitch at me constantly any time the word Isreal is mentioned or they spam topics about Israel and Palestine and try to pick on people to make them virtue signal against Jews just because they can and I simply don't bow down to that kind of retarded bullshit. Doesn't matter who it is, I'm not going to virtue signal to them just to keep them happy.
Those guys are as insufferable as leftists and can fuck off, I'm done with it all. I also have my doubts given the type of community that they're with they even play video games at all and are just here to shill and spam people. Much like the tradcucks who constantly bash gamers and then suddenly pretend to care about games industry corruption when it pops up on the trending page.
Like Imp, he earns those downvotes. And like Imp and Abelist, he spergs out too.
I don't know if it's a nemesis but it's usually some sperg(s) I've pissed off that decides to follow me around the site downvoting everything that pops up because they're that petty. It's not just me that this happens to as well because I chatted about this on meta and it seems you get internet spergs targeting other people as well. Eventually it does go away and sometimes they're making use of bots because they seem to think this is reddit.
Honestly I'm kind of used to it now, you wouldn't believe the crap I got back on reddit because I would often get very high karma posts for my MRA style standpoints when it comes to commentating on feminists and women generally. The white western women also really hated getting called on their privilege.
The biggest mistake though really I make is trying to even debate the reddit style spergs who write big fuck off walls of text and try to psycho-analyse you. That's annoying and it made me realise that mentality is starting to eek it's way here as reddit becomes more unusable.
Look in the mirror once in a while.
He's referring to me, folks. You can see the context here, which isn't much like he is trying to sell it.
He might be talking about me as well, which would be funny since I upvoted this submission.
I also never really downvote him, or most people. Its a pretty gay thing to do or care about.
I mean I don't know who Lethn was referring to specifically, but honestly this reply seems kind of like it confirms what he said.
Honestly, it was rather gay of me. But I think letting him run his little "woe is my superior intellect to be forced to interact with others" narrative is also pretty gay too.
I only assumed it because I saw the exact same sentence here that he was saying to me at the exact same time in that thread. Which makes the deceit of it standout.
