I know that stock image lady is supposed to be laughing, but her expression looks a bit more like she just lost a finger and is in traumatic shock.
“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift

PCSX2’s GameDB is tied to a version just the same. If the DB file changes on GitHub between versions (stable or nightly), that’s reflected when the user updates. Coming to think of it, RPCS3 might just download its updates from the RPCS3 website. I use Flathub, so I’ve never checked.


It looks at a (very) quick glance like this is going to be a file that downloads from https://api.rpcs3.net/config/, not something shipped with RPCS3 by default like we ship the GameDB YAML file with PCSX2. Optional like ours.
Aside: Shame to see RPCS3 still on Twitter. They’re a great team and deserve better than that. While I was away for a while, apparently a couple contributors decided to restart PCSX2’s Twitter (albeit automatically syndicated from our Mastodon and Bluesky), which I’m not especially happy about.


Competition is the catalyst of innovation. Keep going, and you can make better-quality milk to sell.
No?? Oh my gosh, was there a second paragraph I forgot to read or something? Shit.
Terrible guide. You’ll get nowhere in life if you act like this; everyone around you will think you’re some kind of insecure loser, and they won’t want you in their lives.
This is because you’re wasting so many perfectly good opportunities when you replace “Thank you” with nothing at all instead of e.g. “No need to thank me” or “It was my pleasure” or “No sweat”. Then people will know how cool and helpful you are and how much they need you.
Oh god, is plip plap the gay one?? I promised my mom in high school that I wasn’t gay; if she finds out, she’ll never let me live it down.
Excuse me, but I believe you dropped your monster condoms.
Oh, I won’t block them because I moderate a community they spent weeks ruining and barely didn’t get banned from as an olive branch.
They come up to me – great people, smart people – and they come up and they tell me: "Mr. Technician, sir, we’re so impressed with your terminology. Everybody’s talking about it. China’s talking – " they don’t have very good doctors over there, folks, so they come to me for advice.


Freedom, I do not seek.
Mean nothing, these lives do.
The ketamine stash I left in Jesus’ tomb, I desire.
Of course. I am, after all, Jesus; I know the best medical terms – tremendous terms.
Knowing how to plant the seed is crucial too.
I heard you just put your thingie in her woo-hoo bag and then you plip plap until you both yeehaw.
I’d say I can kind of see someone getting Kentucky and Virginia mixed up, so I guess here are some general tips, throwing spaghetti at the wall so maybe it helps someone:
As if anyone outside those states could distinguish between unlabelled outlines of Virginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina.
Self-reporting, because this is shit we learn in like 3rd grade in the US and that adults should (albeit aren’t expected to) be able to do. NH and Vermont I could tell you but mainly because I reassemble their little 69 in my head as a memory aid. (A sane memory aid without needing to remember “big end bottom” or “big end top” is that NH’s small vertical end is super narrow compared to its large one.)
Whereas Wyoming and Colorado – presented separately in a void with no scale – I could only tell because Wyoming is nearly a perfect rectangle while Colorado is an isosceles trapezoid (just very slightly). That’s one you basically have to just memorize via a top/bottom relationship.
I didn’t watch the second video, but assume it’s just: “Hey, let’s see if it’s any better now, since this is what I used last time, and it’s sold preinstalled on commercial hardware.” I don’t like Pop!, but I also think the people arguing he should be using something else – regarding a semi-popular, commercially-backed distro commonly advertised as noob-friendly – are hitting the copium too hard.
“But he wants to do gaming!” And I never had to install a special version of Windows because I wanted to do digital art. That’s not intentionally making Linux look bad; it’s just not going out of his way to doll it up like a burger in a fast food ad. Plenty of people will want to game but don’t treat it as their entire identity and therefore won’t be looking into “best linux gaming distro 2026 reddit”.
I liked JayzTwoCents’ video because he has an expert walk him through it and chooses Bazzite since he’s doing it specifically to evaluate gaming, not how good he is at using it. For a video where somebody is trying to assess the state of Linux for a normal user new to Linux, I don’t want an expert hovering over them the entire time, and within reason, I want them to pick what appeals to them.
I’m over here having a great time on Endeavour, but I got turned off of Linux for years after trying Ubuntu as a daily driver for several months and running into issues constantly. My actual Linux experience was eerily similar to Linus’ first video (it nuked my entire config twice), and I probably would’ve gone back to Ubuntu as a test if I were doing it for an audience and not for myself.
What happened on Pop! this time, by the way? COSMIC issues?
“Where’s the money, Lebowski?!”
