Hexara (PC) Hey so if you're old enough to have any kind of fond memories of the game Hexic on the 360, this is basically an exact clone of it available on Steam. It's got the same exact gameplay without straight up stealing the assets. Also the dev responded to my (and another) review mentioning repetitive music by patching in more tracks of chillout tunes, bonus. Was an easy 1st day buy, and cheap. Even has a leaderboard (I'm currently in 2nd place woo)

Hallo Computer-Fachleute!

Kann mir eins sagen ob das Teil da unten für den Betrieb mit Linux Mint geeignet ist?

Main dish: hard disks.
Side: RAM sticks.

Two hard disks, a bunch of memory sticks, and one thermal paste syringe.

People think the #Matrix was about robots. It wasn't. It was about operating systems.

#Windows is the blue pill.

You take it, and everything stays comfortable. Pretty icons. Friendly sounds. A setup wizard asking if you want to save your soul to the #cloud. Updates appear at the worst possible moment like a Marvel post-credit scene nobody asked for. Your #PC reboots. You cry. #Microsoft thanks you for improving your experience.

#Linux is the red pill.

You wake up. You see how deep the #RabbitHole goes.

At first, it is terrifying. The #terminal stares at you like Darth Vader asking if you know the power of the #CommandLine. You type one wrong character and feel like you accidentally launched nuclear missiles.

But then something changes. You realize your #computer actually belongs to you.

No ads in the Start Menu. No #AI assistant spying harder than a reality TV producer.

No mysterious background process eating half your #RAM like Pac-Man after three energy drinks.

You choose what gets installed. You choose when #updates happen. You choose what your #desktop looks like.

You are Neo.

Windows #users are still sitting in their pods, downloading the latest mandatory #update called KB-Whatever-Again, wondering why their printer suddenly speaks ancient Sumerian.

Linux is not perfect. Sometimes Wi-Fi drivers behave like a side quest in Dark Souls.

Sometimes you spend two hours fixing a problem just to feel smarter than everyone else.

But that is the point. The red pill was never about comfort. It was about #freedom.

And freedom means occasionally reading a forum post written by a Finnish guy in 2007 who solved your #problem and vanished forever like a #Jedi master.

Welcome to Linux. There is no spoon. Only #sudo.

my server had been down for like 5 days now. Now im stuck on this stupid place and don't even have acces to my nas. Then I found out I spend the last day and a half copying the wrong drive with ddrescue. Im soo done with this shit. I have decade old hard drives but ask a ssd to do more then 3 years hell no. I want a server that could run forever if electricity is provided. Ssds make it impossible. 3 months of 15 vms that probably didn't even do 500gb per day in total killed a drive that supposed to have a rw capacity of 2400 tb. Also I hate bluesky with its stupid twitter like post limit of 500. My mastodon had a limit of 65536. You could write a small book with that. And now that I have to copy shit with ddrescue again but instead of getting the same or better performance since its a ssd copying to a USB harddrive compared to a USB harddrive to the same USB harddrive its 30 times slower at peak. And that USB harddrive is 1tb bigger. now some might say just use the last backup. Well to even acces ir i need a vm on that ssd because nobody plans that ssd especially one from a reputable brand like samsung dies after 4 months of use. Even if mine was rather extreme compared to the usual use of one of them. it's ridiculousthat only 50 bad sectors and a passed smart test causes all the data to be inaccessible. Also the expectationthat I have backups that can survivea nuke is unrealistic. If i had the money i wouldn't use decade old hardware. Now you might say just play video games on your gaming pc. Well i don't have one, all my desktops are on my server and the only other computer that could game properly is copying the drive. I pirated gamesI alreadyown on a laptop for just to play some shitty DM for a dozen mins. This thread is probablybecoming longer then any serious post I made on the fediverse. Anyways now that i dont have a ssd for vms ig i gotta use a dozen decade old hard drives from the discard pile of a graphics design studio since im broke and you cant run multiple windows on a single harddrive cause that shit fucking lagggs. Im so done with this shit, i can even torture myself by editing long overdue videos and ive watched so many video essays that I can't watch anymore. I might just start looking on ebay for like epyc Rome shit or something. HAHA I GOT IT TO COPY AT 135MB/s. So now it's done at 0000... great. STILL BETTER THEN 10 DAYS HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHS OR THE PREVIOUS DAY AND THEN SOME ONTOP JAHAHHAHAHSHSHDHDHHDJDJFHDJDJDJDHHFJDJDJDHDJJFHDHDHFHNFJFNJDJFKFJFJDJDHFH it wasn't done, ddrescuetime calc sucks ass like it's not gonna be like 12 hours instead of 8... all the copying was fine no errors ddrescue didn't see any faulty sectors and yet all my data is shot. I can't boot truenas nor can I extract the config of it.

The Art of Reflection (PC) What if you could pass through the mirror to solve the puzzles?
So this game is more or less Portal but remove the portal gun and add mirrors. No "story" or narration to explain why you're in this maze floating in space, or why you're tasked with solving puzzles in it in order to get to cylinders that have musical instrument symbols on them. Once you collect them, you can return to the hub of the current section you're working on and place them into a large music box type device. Find them all and complete the symphony.
While there's no story as such, there's still world building as the maze slowly gets created by you solving the puzzles. Each section you go into is isolated until you get the music cylinder, after which the entire maze returns to view (in a pretty cool looking reverse shattered glass effect). You're also building the background music with each cylinder returned to the hub, as well as "painting" in the maze as you traverse through it (the walls etc are all gray until you walk through after which they change to red, purple etc).
Took me about 15 hours to roll credits (thankfully you don't have to find ALL the cylinders to unlock the final stage) but because I like thinky pain I took another 3 hours to figure out how to retrieve the last 6 cylinders.
If you enjoyed Portal, The Witness and all the rest like them, you should already have this one on your wishlist or in the library, lol. It's quite an enjoyable headache game.
