The song was stuck in my head and I couldn’t help myself :)

Thanks, it’ll be days before that infernal song is out of my head. There is a remedy fortunately:

Absolutely not, as that would mean my company violates my country’s privacy laws. In my field of work there is no valid reason for wearing a body cam.

Unreal only had a single Automag though, so either you are thinking of Unreal Tournament or you played on a modded server. Some servers did have dual automags (I’ve still got a mod and mutator lying around to get them in single player as well) and dual Automags (Enforcer in Unreal Tournament) did indeed dish out major punishment.

Yes, how could I forget Deus Ex. Incredible story and again such a wonderful soundtrack, not surprising as it was also composed Alexander Brandon, Michiel van den Bos, and Dan Gardopee.

As for Half-Life, that game was also something else. But part of me resents that game a bit because it overshadowed Unreal. 😋

The original Unreal. For me it was a perfect combination of beautiful graphics (back in the days of course) and a soundtrack which complemented and elevated the atmosphere of that game. And the gunplay was nice, with a collection of somewhat unconventional weapons. A relic from a time where developers were not afraid to experiment a bit.

Time to install FreeSpace Open again. 😄 For those who have managed to miss that project: it’s a completely rebuilt engine for FS2. Together with the MediaVPs from The FreeSpace Upgrade Project it makes the game look pretty modern again. Take a look at https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/Getting_started if you need instructions.

I believe even there is even a mod available which allows playing the first FreeSpace in FSO.

WhatsApp. I’d prefer something not owned by Meta, but tech supporting my parents already costs me enough time without adding extra apps to the mix and all their other contacts use it.

Snoop has wares, if you have coin.

I’ve got regular silverfish in the bathroom, but gray silverfish (or paperfish as they are called here) in the rest of the house. Those things are larger and much more destructive, some found their way in my collection of sheet music… They literally eat their way through paper and even damage untreated wood, nasty critters. And worse, where ventilating your house helps against silverfish, it only seems to create even better living conditions for those buggers. I’d trade for house centipedes happily.

I certainly hope the Wayland experience is better on Gnome than it is on KDE, otherwise a lot of Gnome users are not going to be happy. I tried KDE with Wayland and oh boy… Just some things I noticed on a daily basis:

Applications going completely unresponsive, as in: requiring kill -9 to terminate them. Solved for now by reverting to X11.

Stuff like the display configuration screen placing a gap between my external monitor and laptop screen, and then complaining that screens must be placed adjacently. Annoying as both X11 and Wayland insist on defaulting my 5120x1440 display to 640x480 each time I reconnect it, so I see that screen way too often. At least with X11 I don’t have to manually drag screens to their proper places before being able to save my settings.

Window manager just completely locking up at random, requiring a hard reset.

If my experience on an AMD graphics laptop just under a year old is that bad, I hate to think how horrible the Wayland experience for Nvidia users must be judging by the comments here.
