  • At first, we grumbled but did it because we knew that running the services had a cost. Then it got normalized. “Eh, it’s the price of one game a year, and I get to play whatever online and get three ‘free’ games a month, so it’s a good deal.”

    Now, it’s not a good deal anymore, at least for me. Hit the “Cancel” button on my sub not 5 minutes ago.

    I grew up on consoles, spent my teens on PC, and my adult life I’ve always kept both around, because I love games, regardless of where they are, but yeah. Most of my multiplayer was already on PC, this just solidifies my PS5 as a media/single player game appliance.


  • I ran Gentoo for years. I run Arch now.

    You’re not wrong, lol.

    'Course, I was running Gentoo when hardware was slow enough that you could see the real-time performance improvement from tailored compiles. Now shit’s so fast that any gains are imperceptible by a human for day-to-day desktop usage. Arch can also be a bit of a time sink, I get it, especially setting it up takes time and thought. That’s also why I like it, and always come back to it: I can set it up exactly how I want it, and it’s really good at that. There’s always weird shit that seems to happen to me when I try to remove Gnome in Ubuntu or other crazy shit that, yeah, everyone would tell you not to do, but Arch doesn’t care. If I want combination of things, I can hunt for a distro that has it, or I can likely just set it up on Arch.

    After setup, though, it’s not any more effort to maintain than any other distro. shrug
