Agreed. As someone who doesn't really like shooters and never got into League or DOTA, I had mixed feelings about playing a 'hero shooter/moba'. I'm actually blown away at how good it is. They did phenomenal job. 10/10.

Don't worry bro, its just me and 2000 of my closest friends. Totally legit.

I'm sure nuclear can be super safe and efficient. The science is legit.

The problem is, at some point something critical to the operation of that plant is going to break. Could be 10 years, could be 10 days. It's inevitable.

When that happens, the owner of that plant has to make a decision to either:

  1. Shut down to make the necessary repairs and lose billions of dollars a minute.
  2. Pretend like it's not that big of a deal. Stall. Get a second opinion. Fire/harass anyone who brings it up. Consider selling to make it someone else's problem. And finally, surprise pikachu face when something bad happens.

In our current society, I don't have to guess which option the owner is going to choose.

Additionally, we live in a golden age of deregulation and weaponized incompetence. If a disaster did happen, the response isn't going to be like Chernobyl where they evacuate us and quarantine the site for hundreds of years until its safe to return. It'll be like the response to the pandemic we all just lived through. Or the response to the water crisis in Flint Michigan. Or the train derailment in East Palestine.

Considering the fallout of previous disasters, I think it's fair to say that until we solve both of those problems, we should stay far away from nuclear power. We're just not ready for it.

Oh shit that's crazy! Thanks for the detailed answer, I had no idea. Hopefully the reason it never released is cause they realized no one asked for that shit and went back to the drawing board... I mean it is Ubisoft so prolly not but one can hope.

Did they ever release the sequel to this game? I remember seeing a trailer for it a long time ago and it looked awesome. I've never played the series.

Facts!! That shit is SO good. Its coming in the fall or some shit, yeah?

I love everything about League of Legends except for actually playing League of Legends.

The lore, character design and art style, Riot's community engagement and approach to balance - all of it top tier.

But spending 40 minutes losing a game because your top lane got washed 0 and 6 and your shako support just keeps doing the worm in duo fucking sucks.

The community is toxic partly because the game design is infuriating. There's like a thousand ways to lose - the draft, vision control, last hits on minions, objectives, items, team mates, technical skill, etc.

It all compounds into a really shitty, rage inducing, experience.

At this point, I'm just waiting for 2XKO to drop.

Why my mans look like he speak for the trees?

This is a top tier comment. Thank you.

Debian 12 and flatpak everything. I recently made the switch from Ubuntu and I couldn't be happier.

Nah you're right. I totally forgot how good OW1 was in terms of community. OW league was good to. Damn, they really fucked that up. I think I blocked out how good it was because of how poorly it turned out. We'll see if Microsoft can turn it around.

I think your problem is, at least in part, due to the fact that you're connecting via usb. No matter how fast your drive is capable of going, your machine has to negotiate the read/write speeds based on the number of lanes available for the entire system.

You can think of it like this: all of your usb ports share physical 'data lanes' that exist on your machines motherboard. These data lanes send information to and from your external device and the cpu. Additionally, most motherboard manufactuers hardwire various internal components into these data lanes as a way to save money without sacrificing hardware features. So now your external drive has to share a limited number of data lanes with all of your usb ports + anything else the manufacture decided to hardwire into.

When you connect your usb device to your machine, the device tells your operating system 'hey, I can do 100000 writes per second' then your operating system takes a look at all of the data lanes and determines how many lanes it can allocate to the external device, responding with 'ok. This system is very busy so I need you to do 200 writes per second instead of 100000'

Generally, when people talk about how fast nvme is, it's not because its just 'better' than everything else. It's because its usually connected directly to the motherboard via m.2 slots. These m.2 slots usually (but not always) have dedicated data lanes to the cpu.

I know this stuff can be confusing and manufactures make it worse with how they advertise their products but I hope this helps.

Title pretty much says it all. I've been using ubuntu as my daily driver for the last 5 years or so and honestly, I've had a wonderful experience with it.

That said, with the way things are going, I feel like its only a matter of time before Canonical pulls the rug out so I'd like to at least get my feet wet with something other than Ubuntu and Debian seems like the logical choice.

I mainly use my machines for gaming, self hosting, programming, and weird networking projects/automation testing.

I've heard gaming on debian isnt as 'out of the box' as it is with Ubuntu. So I'm hoping somone with more experience can share some tips on what I should be looking out for or point me to some good guides. Thanks yall.

EDIT: I fucking love this community. Thank you all for your replies. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
