  • Agreed. They need to retire that dogshit engine and write a new one. I know that's a huge and expensive undertaking, which is why they probably won't. TES6 will sell like hotcakes on its name alone.

    I had been looking forward to TES6 for so damn long, but at this point the most exciting thing we can look forward to is the crazy glitches that speedrunners will discover. That is, if they're not just the same glitches we've alll seen time and again.

  • I was talking to a friend the other day and trying to convey how good that fight looks. In some ways it's kind of cliché (the narrative flips on the "lightning" switch for effect), but it's so well-done that it doesn't matter. If you let yourself get swept up in the story, it's so damn tense and emotional. And the music, oh my god...

    Off-topic, but I finally beat TotK the other day and the experience was utterly transcendent. I'm still blown away. They seriously made up for the deflated final fight in BotW, and then some.

  • What are your favorite racing games?
  • The only Zelda-like I can think of right now is Tunic. I haven't finished it yet, but it's a great game. It's on PC and all the major consoles. I'd say it's more like the pre-N64 Zeldas than the open-world ones. Also has an in-game manual that's 100% inspired by the manual that came with the first Zelda on NES. Incredibly charming game.

  • Respect 👍 I still have all my old consoles and games from my childhood, all the way back to the NES. And I still collect classics that I didn't grow up with. Hope you play yours on a good ol' CRT :)

  • What are your favorite racing games?
  • I really like DKR but I was never amazing at it. Especially the boss races. Killer soundtrack though. I listen to it more often than I play the game lol

    In case you don't know about it, there's a cool site called Retro Achievements that has community-curated achievement sets for thousands of games (and leaderboards for specific tasks, like Mario 64's Princess' Secret Slide), and it integrates nicely with RetroArch and Dolphin (I haven't looked into other emulators, but I'm sure there are other supported ones). It's given me a great reason to play all my childhood games again, instead of playing them just to waste time.

    Speaking of BK, I finished that set just last night and it was so satisfying. I'm sure you'd make short work of the DKR achievements!

  • Rodent themed videogames
  • I adore Moss so, so much! It's an incredibly polished game, and Quill's animations are ridiculously fluid and expressive.

    The part(s? I don't remember if there are more) where you get to high-five her was a fun little surprise, and one of my absolute favorite VR moments.

  • In the U.S., what exactly are we supposed to do when an ambulance, with its sirens on, approaches from behind?

    Let's assume we're not stopped at a traffic signal.

    This is only anecdotal, but I heard once that you're not supposed to stop altogether, rather drive at a slower pace so as to let it pass quickly. The person said what was more important is that drivers don't make sudden changes to their behavior. An EMT driver can more safely maneuver if they don't have to predict what any one knucklehead will do the moment they get close.

    If this is wrong or needs clarification, please enlighten me!

    [Question] Creating a new partition in RAID 0 for Windows / Linux dual-boot

    TL;DR: Have a very expensive laptop and want to make sure I can create a partition on two SSDs in RAID 0 without messing up everything.

    Hi everyone!

    I'm pretty new to Linux and I'd like to get Mint running on my Windows machine. I used Ubuntu way back in maybe 2010 and I didn't really get why it was so great, except for "holy shit look at the kickass desktop cube!" I also use Arch By The Way with my Steam Deck, but that barely counts as "using" Linux.

    These days I'm much more privacy- and FOSS-minded (not to mention more tech-savvy and comfortable with the CLI since becoming a web dev) so I'm ready and excited to take it more seriously. I definitely want to keep Windows on here to keep a more reliable option for playing games.

    Now to the meat and potatoes: my laptop came with this storage configuration (capture from the product page): ! From my limited understanding of RAID 0, the two m.2 drives are used as if they're one, with the data being "striped" across them. Would that lead to any issues when I create a primary partition for Mint? Maybe I'm just paranoid, but the last thing I want to do is ruin my laptop.

    Here's what Disk Management shows, in case the additional info. is needed: !

    I would really appreciate any advice y'all can offer!
