Unfortunately I don't think this runs on Linux anymore.

Lately I've just been playing FTL & Stardew Valley on an old Linux machine.

I intend on playing New Vegas soon, with the intention of finishing it before Fallout Season 2.

I generally use the Raspberry Pi Imager, It works just as well with USB's as TF cards.

Any platform that believes it should be their choice whether the user can opt-in to any part of the fediverse, is a big no from me.

I've only seen the cross-over episode on SNW, It's very much not my sense of humour but I'm happy for there to be more types of shows for more people, so long as I get my TNG style shows.

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.

If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.

I'm sure they got better, but they never won me back, that original feeling of disappointment is still associated with the games for me.

Star Wars: The Old Republic getting Australian servers in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

From what I understand, the game was recently moved to AWS, which makes regional servers significantly easier and cheaper.

Now if only ESO could do the same..

What are your thoughts about SNW S02E08 [SPOILER] in c/startrek@startrek.website
[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see references of previous Starfleet officers such as Worf or Captain Sysco;

With Worf the writers where careful to create a scenario where it was known and out in the open, that the only Federation law he broke was leaving the ship without authority, which he was officially reprimanded over. The actions he took on the Klingon vessel were considered lawful in and of itself.

Captain Sysco's may be more relevant and example, but to me it felt more like a necessary decision for the benefit of future outcomes. To compare this to SNW S02E08, I don't feel they outlined that he was a future threat to anyone, that being said I am undecided on the Sysco comparison.

I have also seen reference to Captain Picard's assimilation, but to me that one is not appropriate as it was against his will.

In regards to Dr M'Benga killing the diplomat?

I supposed this is two questions, whether a federation doctor should have been written to have killed a person as well as how Captain Pike / Starfleet should handle it in Season 3.

Does anyone have experience with Asrock monitors? (aussie.zone)
 

I'm looking at the ASRock PG27FF1A 27” FHD IPS 165Hz FreeSync Premium monitor, the price is in AUD so it's closer to $125 before tax.

I am content with 1080p at 27', it's what I am currently using and my 3050 laptop isn't appropriate to increase the resolution. My laptop has HDMI 2.1 output.

Usenet is paid, usually 2+ subscriptions, a Usenet/backbone provider + an indexer.

Looking for advice on monitor upgrade (aussie.zone)

Not a big budget in mind, this is what I am looking at.

Acer Nitro KG272 S3 27" FHD VA 180Hz

The price in AUD, which is $127 USD before tax.

I am currently using a 3050 laptop / 5600H connected to my 1080p/60hz Acer from 2014. What I like about this monitor is it looks exactly the same and is the same size, it will be swapped with the existing VESA mount.

I cannot find any official documentation, some websites don't list it as HDR10 at all, I also find that regional variants can be very different. Some information shows this to be IPS, but I also can't find that out for sure, I also don't understand if that would be better/worse for high refresh rate. I am also on the assumption that 180Hz is really 165Hz with a possible OC I won't be using.

I will be playing at 1080p and can handle my games at 120+, the HDR10 will be a boost. I had thought that HDR400 was the dodgy spec, but now I am reading negative remarks about anything below HDR600, I thought HDR10 was genuine 10bit.

This is the best price in my regional stores and can be picked up locally.

In the listing, it specifies 250 cd/m² which I assume is important.

Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn't be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

I played it on my phone which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster. I loved it and I thought it was great! I definitely felt a little overpowered due to not fleeing at all. I would recommend checking it out, I got just under 28 hours of playtime on my first run.
