I get what you mean. I see a decent chunk of often more tech-proficient Linux users putting down Linux Mint, and it saddens me because even though I don't use Mint anymore, it was still the first distro I properly daily-drove and I still consider it an amazing system for people who are new to Linux.
I'm very glad you've been having a good experience with Mint!
My beloved childhood game Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 is much better on the PS2 compared to PC, due to being developed by a different team; having grown up with the PC version, the first time I played the PS2 version it felt like I was playing a remake because it's almost a completely different game.
It's simple: they never stopped being racist, they just try to not say it out loud anymore.
It makes me really sad that the space station is going to be destroyed since I always really liked it, but the sheer amount of fuel needed to move it to a stable position makes me (begrudgingly) understand why they're going to do it...
Honestly, you don't have to worry about what others say, you should use what works best for you. Personally I find them to be nice and comfortable to use, myself 😅
How did you make it usable? I personally love restoring and making use out of severely-underpowered hardware and still have an old netbook lying around, so I'm curious to hear what you did with yours :o

That's the one, thank you!
Oh, it is indeed the second one, thank you!!
Yeah, I'm watching a video on the PS2 version and it seems completely different 😅 I might try that one, actually... But yeah, it might not have the nostalgia factor.
Hey folks, I've lurked on this community for a while now but haven't really posted anything until today. Sorry if this isn't really the right place to ask questions like this, but since this is a place for old games, I felt it'd be the most appropriate one...
I've been wanting to re-live some of the games I used to play as a child, and I remember how, back in 2004-2006, there was this Spider-Man game I used to play as a kid but could never beat. Lately I've been curious if I could finally do it now.
All I remember about it were three missions:
- The first mission was some sort of "tutorial", where you'd have to use the web ability to swing across buildings and pass through a certain amount of these glowing green spider icons to clear the level.
- The second(?) mission was about some robbers/thieves stealing a bank's armoured car and you had to capture all of them.
- The third(?) mission was some sort of boss fight against a powerful guy who was apparently helping the thieves. I never got past this fight, he would always grab me - when he grabbed Spider-Man, I couldn't really do anything, he's just keep holding him and grunting occasionally; there might've been a key combination to break free from his grasp, but I didn't know at the time and always assumed it was game over and that I had to restart.
I understand this is really vague, but my memories of this game are incredibly vague and I barely recall much more. I remember I played it on a computer at least. I couldn't find anything like it on Wikipedia's pages on Spider-Man games, so I'm wondering if it might've been an unofficial game or something like that?
...today I learned that apparently supporting basic human rights for immigrants is fascism.
Whatever that person is smoking, I want some of it...
And yeah, I try to keep an open mind but it feels like .world tends to lean pretty toxic lately...
God, I feel this in my bones. I always hated the scumbags who acted this way so much. I'm really glad I'm not the only one...
Yesssss!! I love finding fellow Hypnospace fans out in the wild!
I've been on a frenzy making multiple mods for it earlier this year, I need to get back to working on a big overhaul mod I'd started with some people...
That's what I've been thinking, too. As a zoomer/zillennial who doesn't follow it, from what I've gathered Skibidi Toilet seems to be just Gen Alpha's equivalent of YouTube Poops that Milllennials loved and GMod animation shitposts Zoomers enjoyed.
Considering I loved both of these while growing up, and still like rewatching them from time to time for nostalgia's sake, it'd be hypocritical of me to hate skibidi toilet 😅
I honestly really like the Boxster, and I think the hatred for it is heavily undeserved and also heavily fueled by toxic bravado and insecurity.
It's an affordable (for a Porsche, at least) and fun-to-drive roadster that looks sleek and nice, but just because it's cheaper than and not as powerful as the 911, that apparently makes it "a girl's car" and therefore "bad"...
This looks really cozy and fun, definitely wishlisting c:
I'm not joking, I actually hate April Fools and I am NOT looking forward to tomorrow...
Sad thing is, I'd actually like April Fools if people made actually funny jokes with it, but instead it's always the same thing over and over with Discord mods thinking pinging everyone just for the sake of it is going to be funny
I wanted to play Test Drive Unlimited 2 multiplayer with the TDU World mod, but since I'm not one of the lucky few who owned the game back in the day (I was still a teenager when they shut down the game) I have to pirate it. Unfortunately, the tool required to do it while working with TDUWorld, 80_PA (https://github.com/Blaukovitch/80_PA ), doesn't want to work through Wine as it crashes immediately.
It's a long shot, but has anyone here used it?
