Hi all! I found a new game that looks like fun, and I figured I'd check it out on stream.
This is Medieval Crafter: Blacksmith! Come hang out with me while I play it for the first time!

LMAO they just emailed me with a link to an "exit interview."

It's a Microsoft Form and they haven't set the permissions correctly so I can't even fill it out. Oh my god that's so on par XD

To me, the funniest thing about Wallace Shawn is that he has NO sense of humor. At all. He genuinely has no idea why people find his characters funny.

Second, I've seen you toss around the term "Matrix server" a lot. What exactly is a Matrix server? Explain it to me like I'm five.

I don't remember off the top of my head, but it's happened with **every** version of Linux I've tried, including Mint, Ubuntu, and Fedora (all of which supposedly "just work"). I think what is *more* likely the problem is the HID passthrough from Windows to the VM, but other people don't seem to be having that problem, so... :meowshrug:

Wacom Intuos, which *supposedly* works "right out of the box" even on VMs, but I never have been able to get it to. I can use the tablet as a mouse, but none of the pressure sensitivity (which is a critical feature that I can't do without) is there, and when I go to the tablet settings in Mint, it says "no tablet found."

I would definitely divest from Microsoft at this point if I could - the trouble is I can't get my tablet drivers working on any Linux build I've tried (and believe me, I have spent *days* looking for and trying different solutions), and without that, I have no ability to do the work that puts food on my table. If I had money, I would get a second computer without Windows on it just to see if I could get the drivers to work natively (as opposed to trying to get them working on a VM).

I honestly don't put Adobe on the same level as Microsoft for the simple reason that Adobe is much less ubiquitous; it's not the same *kind of platform* that Windows is. I don't judge people who *can't* divest from Adobe products - I do judge the people who *can* divest but refuse to simply because they can't be bothered to learn new software. With Microsoft, I don't see it as being quite as simple as "learning new software" or even learning at all; there's a lot of stuff that Windows does that Linux *simply cannot do,* including features that I need (e.g. working tablet drivers, certain software compatibilities).
