I put on my robe and wizard hat.

I have a reoccurring problem in Linux, happening in both Nobara 39 and 40 as well as Fedora 40. I understand that Nobara is Fedora based.

Sometimes my USB headset just does not detect, at all. Plug it in, no notification sound that it has been plugged in and does not appear as an audio device.

I have tried 3 different headsets and none detect. I have to reboot to solve the issue.

A friend of mine is also running Nobara and also comes across the same issue from time to time. It happened again for me today.

While I like Linux, I would love to stop using Windows and make Linux my main OS… I just cannot. Loads of my games and apps do not work in Linux as well as a lot of hardware control software. It took me ages just to get some software to control my GPU fans and I am unable to control my PC fans. From what I understand my motherboard has no Linux support, I cannot see a single sensor in any software I try. I eventually manually set up fan curves in BIOS.

I definitely does not just work for sure.

Adding my Manjaro experience, not good.

I tried it 3 times, fresh installs but it locks up my PC. If my screens turn off after a set amount of time I cannot wake up my PC. I turned off any sleep/standby/hibernate modes, only the screens turn off. If I head out for lunch and come back, the only way to get back in is to hard reboot.

I’m not entering, just seeing what’s going on.

First I’ve heard of it.

But then again I grew up in South Africa, I doubt Gillette would send us anything for free.

It is a smart way to get young men hooked on their product so that they never try the competition. The blades I use are Astra which are made by the same company making Gillette blades, Procter & Gamble.

Hell, I actually did some work at their factory in Berlin many years ago and they were very specific about their name, it was drilled into me to use ‘&’ and not ‘and’.

When the Mach 3 launched, the women in my family were taking the mens’ razors and saying how crappie their own women’s razors were. The Mach 3 was a big hit.

I still use it myself. I shave my head and the 3 blades is much easier to clean out. I do use a safety razor on my head first to do most of the work because the blades are dirt cheap. About £11 for 100 and they are made by Gillette as well. I bought these blades years ago and still got about 15 left.

I use the Mach 3 to go over again to catch any hair I may have missed. I use it on my neck as well. Those multi-blades are a gimmick and I swear it’s to drive up prices.

I also use shaving oil instead of gel or cream. A single bottle lasts me months, a big saving there as well.

I would love to have a rainbow unicorn bank card instead of this boring old dark green one of mine.

My downstairs neighbour is super right wing, told me he is as far right as you can go, full on conservative voter in the UK.

The other day he told me Trump is the only one that is going to be able to save the world and under his rule, the Russia Ukraine war would have never happened.

Told him Trump is in bed with Russia and would have just allowed them to take over, he said no and Trump siding with Russia would benefit the entire world’s economy.

Straight face said this to me, man has brain-rot.

Relevent

It’s like when they were spraying the trees with green paint.

I first used my Raspberry Pi as a RetroPie, but now it sits on my network as a Pi-Hole.

I’m not going to buy a PS just to play a few exclusives/timed exclusives, just not going to happen.

Either the game gets ported to PC, or I don’t get to play it. Simple as that.

My old housemate was heading to Amsterdam for the weekend with some friends and the one friend stayed over at our flat the night before so they could leave early and I shit you not she was asking what drugs to take with them. Through the damn airports.

We had to tell her to not try anything because she will most likely get caught and she’ll most likely be able to get what she wants over there.

These people exist.

Xbox One wireless controller.

I saw mentiion that enabling ‘Steam Input’ may solve the weapon switch issue, it was disabled for me because of all the Helldivers 2 crashes. Even though I play that with keyboard and mouse.

I was able to switch weapons and stances after that. I’d hold the trigger and nothing.

I read somewhere that the standoff issue is an old issue on the Playstation as well. Someone recommended limiting the FPS to 60 to solve the issue but I’m not going to degrade the performance just to do a standoff. I just avoid doing them until they sort the issue out. Another one is to play with the accessibility options, something in there might be an issue. A recommendation is to toggle the ‘toggle hold buttons’ option.

If all else fails, the good news is that you’re not the only person having this problem. This bug is widely reported on the Ghost of Tsushima subreddit, so the developers will be aware of it. The bad news is you’ll have to play the waiting game and wait for a fix. With any luck, it will come sooner rather than later.

Getting some graphical glitches in cutscenes and the game is really dark in some places and I cannot see. I increased the brightness as well.

I was unable to swap throwing weapons when I unlocked them.

Standoffs don’t work about 9 out of 10 times for me. I just stand there and get slashed, the button just doesn’t work.

Other than that so far so good. Hopefully they patch it soon.

That’s just the back of one of the newer (2011) bus designs in London.

I say newer but I’ve been here since 2014 and I don’t remember seeing these until a few years later.

I remember reading somewhere that they are not making money on their store, losing it.

Wondering if a timed exclusive brings in more cash compared to their normal sales, even if it’s still a loss.

The free games can’t be helping out either.

Most of my gaming friends refuse to buy games from Epic or use their launcher.

They’d rather wait for the timed exclusive to expire and buy the game on their platform of choice.

I’ve bought maybe 2 games on Epic because a friend wanted to play it with me at launch. It was Borderlands 3.

But never again, I finished BL3 solo seeing as my friend played with me about 3 times and he never touched it again.

I do collect their free game every week, my Epic library is quite big now and I may play a game from there time to time but I hate the idea of a platform exclusive.

I’d like to know if they are making more money with timed exclusives seeing as nearly nobody I game with wants to buy from them.

I have Skylines 2 installed on Gamepass for PC and it updated the other day… 54 gigs.

Damn thing basically just re-downloaded itself.
