Dude, this is Shepard for me. I didn’t even think about playing as a male Shepard mainly because he looks like a giant douche. Like, the standard white guy. No front to anyone enjoying a male Shepard, but not really for me. Her performance is stellar indeed, though

Thanks for the insight. I tried my hands at Kubuntu on an old laptop of mine and didn’t mind the few differences too much. From what I’ve heard on Lemmy, Mint seems to be a good all-around suggestion for new Linux users, though

Guys, I’ll switch in a heartbeat to a Linux OS if any one you can recommend a stable OS that works on a Surface Go 2. It should support its touchscreen, of course, and a Surface Pen. Plus, a FOSS alternative to Journal would be stellar

It’s about time. A couple years ago, it was such a hassle to buy the PS4 version on PS5. I think I had to buy it in a web browser separate from console to make it work or something

Ayy Lemmy.zip :)

I’m not sure if this is stretching it, but this comment thread is just so awesome. It’s like one of those moments on reddit that would be referenced for years to come

Do you know off the top if it’s intact if I “fully wiped” it during the installation of a different OS?

The console versions of Skyrim, minus Switch, have mod support. They are limited in scope because they don’t allow for external resources to be used for the mods - maybe Xbox does, I don’t know - but they still offer a bunch of QoL improvements, visual upgrades, quests, weapons, spells etc. Some well-known mods like the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch exist on console and some well-known mod authors like Elianora or Juliha also publish their mods on console. It’s pretty great actually. They can make your game look and feel really good.

The mods I was referring to that were removed are Mysticism and Adamant by SimonMagus616 (at least their Reddit handle) that completely overhaul spells and perks in Skyrim. I understand their decision to remove them, but my playthrough feels a little less cool now as a result.

I recently had to find out that a mod author of a couple mods I was happily using on my PS5 copy of Skyrim removed their mods entirely because of another batch of greedy monetisation efforts from Bethesda, trying to monetise mods even further. Just fuck those guys man

Have a 3DS and a 2DS both of which I’ll make sure to do this with. Sent your post to two of my friends who also own 3DS systems to spread the word. Thanks for putting this out there!

Edit: Takes less than 5 minutes lol

For the uninitiated, what’s Lineage OS? Is that like a FOSS alternative OS?

I just Googled my reddit handle and it’s appalling that I found websites on the internet that archived a bunch of my posts on there including pictures I posted. I’m not sure what I expected, but it’s still kinda annoying. Even though I deleted my comments after editing them and deleting my entire account

Thanks for the detailed response. Lots of interesting new information!

SD cards rule, then lol

I actually like that thinking, haven’t thought of it that way. Should the day come when Sony decides to kill all digital copies of games people have collected over the years, who’s stopping them from just jailbreaking/rooting/cracking/CFW-ing their console to just download the games they want from dedicated communities who have dumped those games on the internet ages ago?

I did the same thing with my 3DS when the eShop was officially closed, and now I can’t imagine a 3DS without access to anything I could want on there.

Would the reading speed of those SD cards be as fast as the reading speed of Blurays? Or is the reading part of using Blurays unnecessary in the first place because most of the game is loaded onto the console itself?

I imagine you could write-protect the SD cards the same way you do with Blurays, so if the question above is a non-issue, then that’d be quite a cool solution. SD cards pushing terabytes easily now, they’d be large enough for sure.

But then again, afaik, the discs are not really needed and don’t need to accommodate that much space in them except for licensing and DRM stuff, I think, since the majority of the game is downloaded regardless, right?

Wow, I knew that Apple devices don’t, but I hoped that they’d be the only ones. Major oofs right there

I also thought that jungle was a tad lacking on Spotify, but overall, I’ve been happy with it thus far. Definitely enough to not have to listen to the same 5-10 songs on repeat lol

What DnB artists/tracks are we talking about here?

Any particular reason you want your tabs at the bottom of the window? Aesthetics, work flow, grouping?
