Someone has already mentioned DeusEx - Dishonored games also fit the category. If you are into grounded wilderness survival experiences, I recommend The Long Dark. If you are into SciFi and just don't like space as a setting, try Metro and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. None of these are indies though.

Modern reboot of Wolfenstein (The New Order, Old Blood and The New Colossus) are also quite fun and brilliant - they do occasionally send you to space though (there are levels on the Moon and Venus). The recent Indiana Jones game from the same studio (Machine Games) is really good as well.

Just curious, but what would be a good choice, or where would one look for it?

Long time i3 user, recently switched to Hyprland+Wayland. I just don't like mice, don't enjoy using them, and I find the snappiness and responsiveness of keyboard-centric workflows very fun and enjoyable.

I am a software developer, and I am very impatient when it comes to my tools: I like my feedback cycles and interactions to be as tight as possible. This limited study from 2015 showed that developers, on average, spend ~26% of their productive time on stuff that is not related to either code editing or comprehension, including 14% spent on UI interactions. Tiling window manager allows me to streamline most of these interactions through hotkey bindings and shell automation, >!so I prefer spending literal months polishing my dotfiles instead!<

TRON 2.0 remains the best game in the franchise, IMO. Still waiting for the series to get back to its immersive sim roots.

What's so bad about the Rust compiler? I know it's slow, but given all the analysis it's doing, it makes sense. And, from my own experience, setting correct optimization levels for dependencies along with a good linker makes incremental builds plenty fast.

If your org has a pentagram in its logo, yet you do not practice the occult&arcane, my beard is not joining.

If I can afford it, I buy a freshly-baked baguette and eat it with a glass of whole milk.

Hyper Light Drifter in my opinion is a perfect synergy of beautiful soundtrack, ambiance design, atmosphere and gorgeous pixel art. I wish I had enough artistic aptitude to pull something like that off.

I have for a bit, decided to stick to MD because of its accessibility to my non-tech collaborators, it is easier for them to install Obsidian, and MD is very well-known.

Aside from that, I am planning to use Pandoc to process my sources into other deliverables: web pages, PDFs etc. I am myself still learning this ecosystem, and markdown (in my experience) just enjoys more visibility.

Truth be told, I did not have any exposure to Org Mode prior to looking it up for knowledge management, so all of the above might be my "little duck" brain speaking.

Hello, gorgeous community!

My friend, a generally non-technical person is looking for a good gaming distro. He has been daily driving Windows and OS X before, his main motivation for switching Linux is to streamline his contributions to a game development project we have, that is largely Linux-based (we use Nix for dev environments and build automation).

The only Linux distro I've ever used for gaming is SteamOS, and all my other experience is in the Nix/Arch domain, so I am not sure what to recommend to my friend.

As I mentioned, the only hard requirement we have is a possibility to sustainably use Nix package manager with experimental functions (command, flakes), - and I am willing to help my friend setting it all up. But I also would like him to be able to use the OS for gaming whilst experiencing only the expected and acceptable amounts of pain.

So far we have Nobara and Chimera on our radar. Is there something you can recommend? Any advice in general would be helpful, thanks in advance!

 

A photo of a russian twix-knockoff candy bar. The packaging is titled "Twin Pix", it depicts a pair of twix-like caramel cookie candy with silver mountain peaks in the background. The person taking the photo is holding the candy bar in their hand. Grocery store shelves are visible in the background.

 

Here is the story: I decided to buy a good and expensive controller for my PC for the first time, after 3 decades of using stock dualshocks and cheap knock-off brands. Googled "best controller for PC", found a lot about elite series 2 controllers. Got excited about it (primarily the back-grip buttons and adjustable stick tightness), bought it.

After a month of playing Binding of Isaac I have decided to play some Doom Eternal to learn the hot new aiming technique - flick stick. Only to realize that this elite controller, that costs 130€ for the base kit, in current year, comes WITHOUT the gyro.

I honestly wish at least one of 5 reviews I watched and read mentioned this detail.

Is there any accessory I can acquire to get gyro, or would I have better luck returning the controller and buying something else?

Edit: I actually like everything else about the device, and not having the gyro is not exactly the deal breaker, but c'mon people
