weirdly, I feel like the 'returning to the village' line feels like a metaphor to returning to your parents home...

it's like the author is saying, "just give up and be a basement dweller the rest of your life"

(emphasis mine)

Just like they denounced anyone who previously said Haiti was a shithole (it is), the media is now trying to imply that the existence of cannibal gangs is a racist hoax.

Haiti would have to improve considerably to be considered a shithole at this point... The proper term is hellhole.

seems to. I've never had any issues, lol. Every controller I've hooked up worked just fine if the game supported gamepads.

Some older titles are a bit of a PITA, though that's mainly because they didn't originally have controller support (lotta keyboard/mouse purists in 90s/00s game development I'm assuming, lol). you should be able to set up a gamepad, even if if it doesn't work out of the box.

oh, before I forget, If you ever wanna set up a pure emulation box, look into lakka, it's a linux spin that's basically exclusively for emulators, (it's built around retroarch). the interface is basically a direct ripoff of the ps3 dashboard, lmao.

All of this would be so much easier if Valve weren't lazy, ha.

or if you weren't =P

kidding aside, I can tell you most gamepads I've tested work out of the box in linux (wired at least, not a big fan of wireless gamepads, batteries are a PITA). PS3, PS4, and even PS5 gamepads seem to work just fine. no hunting for in-between layers or going into special modes to use non-approved drivers, literally just plug and play. As far as I know, xbox controllers work fine as well, but I prefer symmetrical analog sticks, so I really never use them.

doing a little research, it looks like fanatec devices should work mostly out of the box, though you might need to do some tweaking.

I'm including a couple of relevant forum threads that may point you in the right direction if you have any problems:

I'm assuming it's the C: that gets formatted?

most likely, assuming it's the primary drive. For safety, I would move any files you can't afford to lose to another drive (or even get a fresh drive if you want to be paranoid, lol), and disconnect all other drives while installing it.

Keep in mind, however, that the computer in question will effectively be gaming only while you have ChimeraOS installed. Not trying to discourage you, I just don't want to leave you with a bad taste in your mouth by not warning you what to expect.

Also, do you know if Nvidia drivers are supported in ChimeraOS?

I believe there's a way, but I've never used it with an nvidia GPU, so I can't say for sure.

btw, here's the website so you don't have to wait for me to get back to you. I don't mind answering your questions, in fact I'm happy to help however I can, but I'm sometimes slow to respond, and I've only dabbled with it a little bit (I have it on an all-in--one PC that has some bad caps so it only works every six months or so for a few days at a time, lol)

...if you're going back to the NES, look for "Dragon Warrior." For some reason, they changed the name when they localized it int he 90s

you should try some of the super famicom DBZ fighting games(any SNES emulator should be able to play them, it's basically the same console, less some cosmetic differences). they had their faults, but I think they might be some of the best dbz games of all time

depends on if shonen jump is dumb enough to license to a western company again.

given dragon ball evolution, I'm gonna guess (hope and pray) they've learned their lesson.

aw hell, one more link just to drive it home how bad this movie sucks

might as well add the dragon quest series to the pile... man had an impact, just saying...

steam works pretty good on fedora (hell, ark of all things runs pretty good, though you have to tweak the settings a bit if you don't have a screaming fast computer)

definitely look into WINE if you haven't, yet.

..and if you don't mind going basic bitch, java minecraft runs just fine since java is platform independent.. I use pollymc for simplicity (and a couple of mods I unfortunately need, controller support and one to workaround a villager trading glitch)

yeldarb1983 2 points ago +2 / -0

you're welcome =) glad I could help.

by the way, the only reason you need a dedicated PC is because ChimeraOS reformats the existing hard drive during the setup process. you could in theory set up another OS on another hard drive after the fact, but if you're already using one pc for everything... it's not the best choice.

yeldarb1983 2 points ago +2 / -0

i played a little bit of the freebie version on linux (thank you WINE!) it's not bad. pretty basic point-and-click with some surreal elements here and there. light puzzle solving. The $13 price tag is probably fair, given the amount of time the guy probably put into it, though I probably wouldn't have purchased it personally (just not my usual taste is all)

if you're gonna get into linux, start with Fedora or Ubuntu, they're basically the dominant distros, so the community support is going to be bigger.

Ubuntu is a bit bigger and more user-friendly, Fedora is more bleeding-edge (which makes sense since it's effectively where RedHat beta-tests all the features they want to add to RHEL )

ChimeraOS is pretty good if you have a dedicated gaming PC... it's basically steamOS plus some emulators

think sony did it first, though not in this particular way... think they slipped a clause into the EULA for the PS3 (4?) that they retain rights to the physical hardware or some such.

Not really sure if it would hold up in court, but yeah...

Lol, I don't spend enough time here to know the mod situation(I spend more time in Funny and Memes than anything...) I just figured I'd clarify to save on confusion, lmao.

Zardoz was...odd...and sadly I think that's what I liked about it, same with GiTS.

Akira had a little bit of that as well, although it was more straightforward.

I dunno. there's a certain, for lack of a better word, "unreality" that certain movies have that just appeals to me. Dun really know why, but it does...

btw, not crapping on stand alone complex. it was good, but it didn't have the same feel.
