I bought mass effect legendary edition from epic last year, it was super cheap and I never played. I finally installed it a couple weeks ago and am playing the first game. It’s a great game, but the drm infrastructure is really frustrating.

To play the game, I need to:

Don’t click the desktop icon it installed for me, nothing will happen Start EA app Don’t click the icon on the side, nothing will happen Click on library Click on game Ignore the helpful hint to use the icon on the side to save time Click on launch This starts the epic store This then starts the mass effect launcher Click launch on the game I want While the game is loading, the epic store will now steal focus back and I need to alt-tab back to the game Now I can play the game and it works fine

It really makes me think about pirating the other games instead of continuing this bs. Plus I should be able to then play them on Linux instead of needing to boot into Windows to play.

Gaben was absolutely correct in saying that piracy is a service problem.

That sounds like a good mix of things I like, how far along in development are you?

If you use refind why bother with grub? Isn’t it superfluous?

that’s where you can find the BFG in this early level

This needs to be animated to show the trolley rolling over piles of bodies.

Frackin censors

It’s a shame that gay guys have such a monopoly on butt stuff

You should always run a full upgrade when installing a new package to make sure your versions are all in sync. Like if your new package is looking for version 1.1 and you have 1.0 installed, the new package won’t work. In general, everything should be installed with ‘pacman -Syu’ not just ‘pacman -S’

If you don’t install any new packages, then no you don’t need to upgrade anything. You’re just missing out on security patches and upgraded features. It’s worth running occasional upgrades.

But they’re so fetch

It means the person did not have any brain disease or injury when they died.

That’s been my assumption when people talk about stomach pain and diarrhea from Taco Bell, Chipotle, Qdoba, etc. I eat plenty of Mexican food at good and bad places and have never had any issues like that. But I also eat a decent amount of beans normally.

Is there a punchline?

Yes, that’s why if you don’t have cancer it is dangerous (to the quarters it family members). If you do have cancer, you are going from having cancer to a slightly higher than average risk of a different cancer in the future. It’s worth getting treated.

I still do that whenever I go up the stairs

Is that relevant to this meme?
