I can’t say this is your problem, but when I’ve had similar issues with the install getting stuck, it was a corrupted file and redownloading solved it.

“You’ve got a lawsuit on your hands”

While I understand the show had a cult appeal in many countries; Monkey (the live action Journey To The West adaptation from the 70/80s) must have had a pretty big surge in Australia when I was a kid.

I’ve heard new zealanders around my age and older talk about it the same way, but not really people from other countries who tend to remember it for being lame/cheesy but don’t seem to have much attachment to it.

Did not expect to see a Scorpio match

I clicked here to say Kiwi farms too.

That’s awesome

1985. I was also born 1985.

Holy fuck, that thumbnail

For tekken 3 you’ll want to emulate PS1.

Install duckstation.

Download a tekken 3 rom - search for tekken 3 CHD and you should easily find one.

Open duckstation and load the CHD file.

Play Tekken 3.

Bit off topic, but noting the thumbnail… I’m into the Deathriders thing again. A couple months ago I started to turn a bit and get that feeling that aew doesn’t really know what to do with it.

Hangman, The Opps, Swerve, Osprey turned this into something fun again. And to me, it’s cool like if Pipers team had actually helped WCW against the nwo. Or if The Union didn’t suck ass.

If I’m playing Sega, I’m not wasting my time on Rambo iii, but if I’m running through some dos games of absolutely give it a shot.

I assumed a ‘Camp Crystal Lake’ kind of what’s in the water vibe

It’s a terrible article that leans into shaming of listening habits if your favourite songs don’t include artists from a diverse range of backgrounds.

Do a lot of people log in to search engines?

Portrait of Ruin is a direct sequel to Bloodlines/New Generation as well.

Order of Ecclesia is the only ds game that doesn’t rely on touch screen gimmicks too, and it’s so much better for it. Portraits of Ruin is still playable at least without touchscreen, but some of the bonus modes, like playing as the sisters require it. Dawn of Sorrow sadly was absolutely gimped by touchscreen crap, but a romhack is available to remove it.

Unfortunate turn of art style in the DS era too. They lean heavily into a crisp anime style compared to the earlier look of Symphony and the gba titles which were anime inspired but had a very fitting gothic painting style.

New car it used car?

I don’t know mate. I thought we were having a cool discussion about Linux shit but you seem really hostile now. Get lost, clown.

And also PCLinuxOS and Mandriva, those were the big recommendations as well. But we’re pre-dating the common distro hopping discussions I think we had in mind by going back that far too.

I’m not discussing quality of distro here, but people’s changing perception of Debian over the years. The way that people currently use/suggest/recommend distros has put Debian more in favour than say 10 years ago, 15 years ago.

It’s always been good depending on use case, but people currently are recommending it more for general use than has been typical before. And I think it is, as you said, that some of those past limiting factors are not a big problem anymore. I did suggest that in my first post.

Oh yeah, there’s a big difference now in distro conversations.

Debian was never talked about as a serious contender in distro hopping, discussions around “best distro for me”, starter for new users, etc. Just an occasional; “of you’re going to choose Ubuntu, just pick Debian and go straight to the source”.

But it was often pointed out that Debians pros is what made it not recommended for general end-user. It’s strong for servers and productivity. But its stability meant kernel and mesa updates were slow, many programs lagged. Gaming performance suffers and new hardware support is weaker. It was recognised that Ubuntu and Mint would add convenience for everyday use cases on top of Debian.

Especially the early to mid 2010s was all about “bleeding edge/rolling release is too likely to break, Debian is too stable to get updates, pick something in between”

Now, this problem is being lessened, at the same time people are liking the stability for general desktop use. Bleeding edge became highly recommended 5 - 8 years ago, and now in 2025 people care less about that and it’s easy to make stable distros work for your needs just as well.

Now people will regularly say “use Debian, it’s solid and reliable” and not follow up with “you’ll have to deal with old packages though”
