  • If you didn’t have the portals, you could just play halo, which I’m doing now

    About 1, it was always really fun having 2 ends of the maps as bases and just trying to hold it while trying to portal to the other. At least that’s what I remember. The weapons were also fun (which I can’t say about every weapon except from the fortitude class, since 1 aero’s feels like a paint gun damage wise and the energy gun is an SMG, if someone took it and just completely ruined it for CQC by making the projectiles have the travel time of a sniper firing at 1km.), and the gameplay itself was way less ability centred.

    Also, making the lore of a game „Its esports” is just so generic. Sure, turn it into a Gulag people are thrown into by the rich. Turn one company into the bad guy if you want. But not this shit


  • Its not very good

    I mean, abilities? OK, why not.

    Different classes? Well, ok I guess?

    But like, I can’t get into a match where anyone is using portals. In the only arena from SG 1 you can actually See some intent in being Portal oriented, but in all New areas they just dont make sense to usw. The Objectives are placed completely Outside of any Portal areas, and even where they are placed its just like „If you run to the other side of the Map and back, you can flank some random angle no one will ever use

    And why make every classes weapon different?

    Also, power weapons are just not worth picking up, every 2. Player is a bot, and the game itself feels pretty soulless with this corporate arena vibe that the finals have done better already.




  • The problem is kind of exactly what you described

    Normies are used to „run exe and it will work”, so when installing Linux most of the time they will either

    • not install any driver
    • try to run the exe
    • install the Linux driver, but from the website instead of the repos
    • or (as you described) try and install the driver, but fail at looking up which driver (nvidia has 4 of them for the rtx, gtx, and gt) they need to install



  • mainly for the integrated graphics to use jellyfin’s hardware transcoding. Is the UHD 730 enough for that?)

    My 4th gen Intel i5 can do that

    No idea what to get for MB

    You get the cheapest thing available with your socket that has at least 4 sata slots for migration

    Server quality storage is extremely expensive, not sure if its worth buying.

    Just get 2 WD blues

    For case I saw some suggestion for cases with a ton of hotswappable drive bays

    Or, you know, if you are making a whole post crying about your financial situation, maybe you can just move your ass and manually swap the HDDs.

    PSU I want to get any gold PSU with low wattage from a reputable brand

    If you want something energy efficient, why in gods name do you want to buy a desktop CPU?

    16gb of any decent ram I suppose?

    If you want to be fancy I guess, but my 25€ half dead optiplex that dosent even pass its own self test is currently running on 8 gigs of DDR 3 storage from different brands I got out of dumpsterdiving in a junkyard right before they threataned to call the police on me, and I live in goddamn Germany, so maybe make up your mind if you want to be crying about being poor or actively going out of your way to buy fancy Server Equipment I can only dream about in my setup.
