My first listen to Plastic Beach, I hated it. As I had bought it on a whim and money was tight at the time, I gave it a few more shots over the next couple of months and now it's one of my favorites. It's probably the album that convinced me to give music I don't immediately like a second chance.

I don't think you're supposed to die to the AH12?

Helldivers or Helldivers 2? HD2 runs very well in Linux.

I view it as more of an improvement on F-RAM. The price will determine if it is used more than flash or other NVM technologies. Depending on price, it could be attractive for embedded systems where power loss is likely and/or recovery from power loss is very important.

I mean, it definitely does https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_dung_fuel

Picked up the System Shock remake, so I’ll probably bounce between that and Satisfactory this week.

Update 8 in general has been a bit buggy. On my dedicated server, there have been a number of client side crashes as well as strange behavior with hyper tubes. For v0.8.0.3, it just dropped in the last hour, so I haven't had a lot of time with it, yet.

I really hope this is a signal for reinvigorated development and growth for Dota 2. It has, New Frontiers withstanding, felt pretty stagnant for the last couple of years. It'd be really awesome to get new players and new experiences into the game.

I think that was based on the Chevy Bel Air.

To add to this, I use Bitwig on Linux and it is really nice. MIDI controllers pretty much just work and when I was swapping between Jack/Pulseaudio/Pipewire, things worked within a few clicks. Finding help for it online is really easy, as well.

Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised with System Shock. Satisfactory Update 8 has hit experimental, so I'm gonna play around with it. Here's to hoping that it is stable enough to play.

Follow up to this, I had players on all afternoon after v0.8.0.3 released. After everyone verified their local file integrity, crashes seemed to significantly drop. Still had a couple of Nvidia driver failures, but over all it seems to be pretty stable.

I ended up leasing one as I wasn't ready to commit to EV, yet. It wasn't much more expensive than our Outback in monthly payments. Sticker shock on EVs is real, though.

Yeah, that definitely could be a path. New Frontiers has made me feel like being a bit hopeful, but only time can tell.
