I'd rather we stop sexualizing characters altogether. If anything, it's silly and makes it more difficult to take them seriously.

The weird thing is, as a guy, I never even paid attention to the sexualized stuff in games. To me these are like two different brain activities. So, as far as I'm concerned, there was never any point in this kind of marketing. I've never in my life purchased a game because it featured sexy ladies.

The moods and themes are pretty cool categorizations. I should give it a try. Thanks!

Yeah, I've tried this, it's not very helpful for me.

This doesn't really work for me, because it mostly just shows me artists in the same genre, most of which I'm already aware of and don't care about. I'm really more looking for music that conveys similar meaning/concepts. The genre is less relevant here.

 

I've been having trouble finding new favorite musical artists. Having been disappointed in many of my childhood favorites, there's only a few artists I genuinely binge. I think I have this problem where I need to relate to what the artist says in most of their songs. It's a sort of parasocial relationship, because the more songs of theirs I relate to, the more likely I am to enjoy their new songs.

So I was thinking, it would be cool if there was a website that asks you questions about yourself, and then based the information we have on music artists online, it finds the closest match. For example, it asks personal questions like "did you grow up poor?" or "what is your political ideology?", etc. And say you answer "yes" and "communist", and then it finds you an artist who also grew up poor and is a communist. I feel like this would allow for finding more relatable music.

I have a feeling such a website doesn't exist, but I just wanted to put my idea out. However, if you know anything even similar to this, let me know.

 

The native population had been wiped out by the malware of their own creation. Only the Linux users survived, but turned blind because they stare at their monitors and don't go out much.

As a former lifelong Windows user (from 2002 to 2019), I honestly don't get why people continue using Windows in the future. It doesn't make sense to me. They're cracking down on liberties, increasing system requirements, and old software and games are gradually becoming less compatible. And people seem to be starting to realize that other options are becoming gradually more attractive, because Windows is now hovering below 70% while just ten years ago it was at over 90%. Meanwhile Mac has grown from 7% to 20%, and Linux is at an unprecedented 3%, and that's not counting ChromeOS, which is slightly higher.

The mistakes Microsoft is doing can prove fatal. Because I think for most people, once they embrace Linux, even if Windows improves, they won't wanna go back.

i get that, it's a preference thing

Okay, but until like this last year I'd barely see mentions of it, but now it's kinda everywhere.

Worth noting, this meme is from the time before Arch had an easy installer. So that's probably what it's referring to. I joined Linux almost 4 years ago, and this meme already existed then. I dunno how old it really is.

[–] molochthagod@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (4 children)

This is a very old meme. NixOS wasn't popular then (or didn't exist, I dunno).

Russia has been doing and undoing itself the whole history. Meanwhile, who suffers? The minorities. You could compile a list of cultures they destroyed across Siberia, the Pontic Steppe and the Caucasus. And this process is still ongoing.

 

I'm on Linux Mint 21.2, though I've tried installing this game on another Debian-based distro with the same results.

So, the game launches and everything seems to be perfectly in order, except there's no sound.

Files in the game folder are .wav and seem to work perfectly when I launch them with Audacious.

There is no information online, it seems like I'm the first person trying to launch this game on Linux.

Here's the log:

I tried posting this on Reddit and got no help. I was hoping here people might be more responsive.

 

Hey everyone.

So, the problem is that in order to launch Pro Rally 2001, you first need to launch the RallySetup.exe, so that the game would create a config file called ed3.ini. But I use Linux and am trying to run this game with Wine. And Wine seemingly can run the main executable, but not RallySetup.exe.

So, what I need is for someone who uses Windows to just install that game and then sned me that file ed3.ini. I don't think I can tell you where to download the game, but it's basically abandonware, so many websites have it.

So anyway, if you helped me, I'd be very grateful.

EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who participated!

Unfortunately, the game still doesn't work at the moment. I suppose I'll have to just run a virtual machine for it. But I wouldn't know if I didn't try.
