I'm looking for this exact rundown. If there is anything close to musicbee I'd love to know.

+1 for Scavengers Reign. Incredible show! Although different I recommend the movie Mars Express and TV show Pantheon.

This the short experiment film Wavelength 1967. But more recent Skinamarink 2022 that was largely influenced by Wavelength

Solaris. Yes this is a good answer.

Do you have labour day off and an eight instead of ten or twelve hour work day? It's because of a general strike. It's up to you if you think they are effective.

I really do love it. Fedora has been great. Daily tasks and tools seem good. Games!? Amazing! steam has really really impressed me. Everything works for the most part but I am trying my best to figure out how to move on from Adobe (ps, illustrator, premier, after effects, lightroom) for graphics and other music production software (Ableton/ Audition/MPC). There are a few programs that I'm trying to replace but it's a struggle. I'm open to suggestions but peoples snarky comments to "Just use..." are not helpful unless they understand the capabilities of each program in the first place. Telling me to replace Ableton live with Reaper doesn't help. Maybe Reaper can replace Audition but Ableton live has different tools and capabilities. A lot of people offer Wine as a suggestion and it works for some things. I don't mind fiddling a bit but after few hours of trying to adjust settings to get things to work I boot back to Win or use a mac just to get it done. I'm willing to learn some new programs but it's a struggle for specialized design, art, media programs. All that said I am open to suggestions for programs.

One that seems to be lacking surprisingly is a really nice local music player like musicbee/foobar2000? Maybe it's the rise in "streaming music" but Clementine and others don't seem even close to musicbee.

Yes. Lol. Total eclipse. Obviously never ever look at the eclipse until the sun is completely covered "totality". And even then have an alarm handy beforehand so you know when it will move out of the total eclipse phase.

Total solar eclipse. I've seen a few. There is something so strange about the omnipresent sun you have lived with your whole life suddenly be gone and there is a black space that you can look at with your eyes where the sky used to be and everything is dark like the night. On a human level I'd image it's the closest thing I'll get to seeing the Earth from space. Once you see it you will absolutely understand why older civilizations wouldn't shut up about it. We understand almost everything about when it will happen and what it is but the experience you can never understand. If you live less than 6-8 hours away from a place you can see a total eclipse do it. An eclipse with glasses is OK but it is a million times more impactful looking at total blackness where the sun once was with your own eyes.

Batman: Arkham Origins is it's still available. If not no worries. TY.

Yah. I split the drive so we will see how it goes. But memory is cheap. I'm not messing around with game saves that could possibly take away hours of my progress.

Also new here. So from what I can tell. You really shouldn't mix a windows steam library with the Linux steam library? Correct? I mean to avoid all issues. I have it running in a separate space.

[–] flux@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Fair point. I always associated those with the fact video games were relatively newer media at the time but you are correct. Some times they would give you maps and instructions.

 

Psychonauts was always one of those games I was meaning to play ever since it came out. I've played most of the double fine titles but I started it and it didn't instantly click so I put it down and never got back to it. The second one came out and I thought alright time to go for it. Wow! What a debut from double fine! Clever and fun mechanics, well defined characters, engaging story and actually laugh out loud moments! If you have kids the game dialogue is snappy like a Pixar movie. I made it to the tower and just can't wait to see what happens next. There are a few small things like camera angles or controls that can be a little frustrating after all it's almost a 20 year old game but if do yourself a favor and grab it for $2 on steam or Xbox store right now if you think you might like it. I've already got #2 in the queue.
