Awesome in that case I will definitely check them out. Great taste as well, I usually veer more towards deathcore but I love me some Pig Destroyer and Misery Index. I’m also always open for deathmetal suggestions

Busdriver is actually one of the few other rap artists I listen too. I LOVE Perfect Hair. Other than that I only have Rob Sonic and Hail Mary Marron on my playlist.

Will do! Thanks!

Nice, haven’t heard that one yet!

The genre is so huge, if you could tell me one band that your friends are into it would make suggesting stuff a bit easier haha.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestion! I’m always down to try new music

So, I’m almost exclusively listening to deathmetal, deathcore and other kinds of extreme metal, but once upon a time I stumbled upon this song and since then Aesop Rock has found himself a permanent spot in my music library.

I haven’t found many other rap artists that I like but when it comes to Aesop there are few songs I dislike.

One of my cats can’t get enough of them, literally begs for them daily. For her it’s butt drumming > food.

The other one hates them.

Thank you for the great comment, that was super informative. I didn’t know Nordic Games became Embracer. That explains it a bit why I thought they came out of nowhere.

The whole Embracer situation is so weird to me. I hadn’t heard about them until the news broke that they were buying some of the Tolkien licenses and had already been buying a whole bunch of game studios. Cut to a couple months later and Embracer can’t get rid off all these studios fast enough apparently bleeding money left and right.

Where did they suddenly come from? Or was I just out of the loop on them?

Apparently he fell while he was out jogging.

Fucking nvidia. I’m currently still using an nvidia card (3070) but my next card is going to be an amd card again. In fact, just yesterday I finally built a gaming PC for my wife which got an amd RX 6800. Which is a great and performant card with a pretty good price.

At least for me, raytracing is pretty unappealing anyway. I’m not that much after high fidelity graphics and the performance hit is annoying. Which only leaves DLSS as a selling point and with how FSR (especially FSR 3.0) is shaping up the better quality of DLSS is just not worth supporting nvidias bullshit.

I’ve never seen it before until now, but you’re totally right. I’m going to start hating it too now.

I actually do most of my gaming on Linux. No problems thus far. I’ve only got Win11 on my PC to play VR.

While it’s already been talked about, for no. 4, does anyone know a good batch renamer I can use with Arch/Gnome?

On Windows I had BulkRenameUtility which was really good.

That does suck. As someone who isn’t impacted by this I even thought it was getting better but I guess what I was seeing was just superficial choices like the Body A/B stuff I was talking about earlier. I am privileged enough to be only ever impacted by wanting the beards to have a different color than the hair. Which is actually a thing in a lot of games nowadays. I can hardly imagine how it must feel for everyone else to want to play as someone they can at least identify with, when the options are so heavily skewed towards a certain demographic.

That sucks, that it is becoming harder for you. Maybe mods will help, when they inevitably come. Although you should obviously be able to get representation without mods.

If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to write me a PM or otherwise reach out. I might be able to help. As for your free disk space I think you’ll have a hard time making it all work with just 130GB of free disk space. Not because EndeavourOS can’t work with 130GB but because as soon as you set the partitions it’s extremely hard to change your partition size for Windows and Linux because of the way these partitions sit on your physicial drive.

Your 4tb drive should be less of an issue. I don’t have a lot of knowledge as to how Linux works with NTFS but as far as I know Linux is way better at working with Windows file systems as Windows is with working with Linux file systems.

I expected as much, although I’m absolutely fine with taking gender names out of body type choices. But as long as those gender types are binary and look exactly like typical male and female bodies there’s not much of an upside to having them be named A and B. As always there needs to be more customization to include everyone.

I see! Yea, I saw that too, that half elf is one if not the most picked race. There are also a lot of high elf characters in general in the game when it comes to NPCs. More than I would have thought. I suspect you’re right when it comes to warlocks. I have a Cleric in my party and I absolutely love their role in my party. I have a hard time switching them out for story events because of their usefulness so I think Cleric is a great choice.

Interesting. So what do you think about having body types be called Body A/B instead of male/female? Just pandering or does it help you identifying with your character more?

Got it! So how do you usually play RPG games with character choice? You said your first character was a half elf warlock and then you switched to a dragonborn cleric, what made you choose the half elf at first and what made you switch to the dragonborn?

And if you don’t mind me asking, have you ever encountered a game which had the perfect character creator to build a character that actually represents you?
