after posting this, I took a curious gander at their other videos and

he's complaining about optional game modes like "not killing everyone" lol.

ok so there is grand strategy and tactics. Both probably the same in grand strategy, civ5 probably requires more thinking the tactics department. in civ4 you just make sure your stack of doom is bigger (more units in single tile).

my opinion: Civ4 is all around a better game. Most details are just better in Ci4. Except, Civ5's one-unit-per-tile + hex-tiles are superior to Civ4's stacks-of-doom. It boils down to what's important to you, tile based tactics, or the rest of the game.

Windows 7 was the last good windows. Windows XP was probably the best, but I guess I like 7's aesthetics a tiny bit more. Under Micro$oft's totalitarian Windows XP regime, I always disabled what I called Fisher Price Mode, which means that I used the Windows 95/98/2000 theme instead of the default theme that made the computer UI look like it was designed for toddlers.

IDK about that, but when I woke up it was done and I was already seeding lol.

I loaded the 28 Days Later 1080p torrent from that website 2 hours ago, it's been stalled with 0 seeds/peers the whole time.

I tried torrenting it a few months ago, but all the versions I could find were highly compressed 240p or had no seeds. Same with Donnie Darko. Ironicly, both films I later found out, were easily found on youtube. I'm hoping this one is better quality.

based

I'm being forced to watch "True Blood" (in the middle of S1 atm) against my will and this reminds me of that. Some of the way vampires are discriminated against seem to be metaphors or based on actual discrimination real minorities face (Antisemitism, PoC, LGBT, etc.). It seems like a "let's do a fictional minority that's discriminated against, except the violent/satanic/predator stereotypes are actually true". I don't know what direction they're about to go into, so it comes across as problematic. I'm curious what kind of principled hardline theory some of the brainpilled leftists have to say about this.

If you like civ5, unciv is great, but also consider that it’s open source and the tail end of the game/features may not be implemented yet.

except the games released during the 98/XP/Vista/7 period, those still have compatibility shenanigans with windows 10.

can you please give me an example of an intermediate config task that's significantly easier on windows than linux?

I feel like it's the kind of thing that use to be true. I think it's easier to edit a a text file in linux and run the restart service command in terminal than it is to wander through window's new maximum white-space electron GUIs and hope what you're looking for isn't removed in windows 10 or doesn't get reset back to default on next update.

these days, if a game doesn't run on linux, I don't bother buying it lol

Most people have a valid excuse, like their one really important software or favorite hentai game doesn't work under wine. For example, I wanted to buy a specific android tablet, but a small number of cool exclusive features are windows only, which is annoying af. Do I subject myself to full-time popups, nagware, random restarts, fake restarts, etc. of windows, do I dual-boot and have to restart my computer for weird context switching, do I own 2 computers, or shall I forgo that one one cool software/feature?

If you're thinking you'd really like a minimalist, classic desktop experience, like say a windows 98 vibe but also frugal on your GPU/RAM/CPU stuff, I heavily recommend the MATE with brisk-menu installed.

The most beginner friendly version of think is the official https://ubuntu-mate.org/ ISO.

Personally, I prefer debian for servers, and Garuda (arch) for desktops/laptops. Garuda has a lot of desktop environment options, I use the Garuda MATE ISO. Garuda does a lot of hand-holding for you in general, but also has a lot of gamer specific things.

Another thing, I like using my computer to actually do things. I don't think dicking around for hours/days because some random thing (your OS, or drivers, to be specific) doesn't work by default is fun or interesting. It's something most linux evangelists seem to not understand about normal people, and when normal people use windows, the network effect usually forces windows on me somehow. Ubuntu MATE and Garuda MATE have been pretty good about "just working". Your luck on brand new/obscure hardware laptops is going to be tested.

le reddit atheist vibes

Two groups of people who basically can't understand each other: those who never went to church or went to church every sunday as a kid and it was no big deal, and those who lived under a totalitarian Christian household. Sure the later can be annoying, but a complete lack of empathy from the former is much worse IMO.

I like when in the first episode of the first season of the walking dead they canonically establish that zombies get more active at night, then after that episode the writers completely forgot about and it's never an important lore detail ever.

Truly the highest honor a shitpost can achieve.
