It absolutely is. Not to whinge over the state of the gaming press as I’m not one of those guys, but with that said I personally stack weight behind EG’s reviews before looking elsewhere. Not to say that they are the best/most objective in their field, but rather that they are consistent and don’t seem to pander to publishers. Happy to hear of any other sites that leave others feeling the same.
…and to be honest, after reading a bit more the game doesn’t look bad, only middling.
Eurogamer - 2/5 Stars - “Stripped-back Ubisoft formula is admirable yet doomed”
Shocker.
Edit: Apologies for starting this off negative. I’m just tired of Ubisoft and AAA in general and didn’t intend to knock the shine off of something that some folks are looking forward to.
Well there’s a provocative anecdote if I’ve ever seen one. Well done.
Since moving to Linux this is at least the second time there have been issues with MS screwing up dual boot via grub. I switched to systemd-boot after the first incident, and thank goodness for that.
As someone that moved to Linux and has become accustom to full control of my system, I finally feel seen when it comes to GrapheneOS. Here’s to a native root solution down the road, your take a la sandboxing sounds nifty.

Perfectly cromulent.
Tasker does this on android and the event can be chained to launch scripts and apps.
Consideration is required; it’s much easier to be a knee-jerk contrarian one supposes.
I also care that whatever company I work for moves to take corrective action as well. This isn’t at all difficult to think through.
People with jobs.
Awesome info in this thread, thanks!
Thanks for this.
I’ve given up concerning myself with what others think and went with a coral (pink) phone this go-around. While this probably won’t pertain to your bro, it nicely sidesteps the issue.
Frankly, this is to be expected. Are Kotaku’s corporate taskmasters not converting the site from a news/investigative portal to a generic stop for game guides?
Edit: answered my own question and it is yes. Yes they are.
Are you running Cinnamon? I was impressed with the customization options out of the box and had to stop playing with it as I wanted to keep things fairly plain. Looking forward to later dropping it on a burner laptop for my own twiddling.
Welcome back.
This weekend I finally joined the club of folks that install Mint on their parent’s aging laptops. I’m a Nix/Arch user btw and am very impressed with the ease of use and flexibility that Mint brings to the table.
As a seven-plus year Linux vet I’ve known about OpenWRT for some time but only made the switch about 3 months or so myself to breathe some life into an aging Linksys.
I’m very impressed with the kit so far, it runs well (snappy even) and the amount of options provided are a bit overwhelming at first. Eventually I’ll move on to prosumer hardware, but this is a nice middle ground in the interim.
Thanks for the recommendation, looking into it as well.
I’d never posit that all reviewers are pandering to large publishers, but rather that the majority have absolutely seen score creep that now rewards mediocrity with 7/10 in order to maintain access. This is why I unapologetically turn to a more trusted source first.
