  • I’m sorry but that is just blatantly not true, there is no way you are keeping up with a road bike on the road with 2.8 off road tyres.

    My MTB with 2.8 front and 2.6 rear takes considerably more effort to ride on the road than my road bike with 700 x 28c tyres, not only that once you are up to speed those tyres are actively working against you maintaining that speed.

    Sure you can “roll over curbs and mud” easier but that isn’t really the point, if you are doing long distances on mostly roads or light gravel like OP suggests then you are going to want something more efficient to help you cover that distance and huge tyres are working against you every step of the way.

    On top of that you are going to be spending a lot of extra money constantly replacing those massive tyres where they are wearing super quick being run on hard surfaces that they aren’t designed for.

    Factor in also the drastically increased weight of all that extra rubber you are dragging around if you were to run absurdly sized tyres like 2.8s for light gravel work and really this is just terrible, misinformed advice.









  • Plenty of people say that they work fine using wine and lutris. I however have spent 10s of hours trying to get them to work. I had one game work successfully one time and I thought i had cracked it but upon rebooting the system and returning to play more it just constantly crashed again.

    I’m sure the issue lies with me somewhere and I havent tried it for a while but just be prepared for a fucking frustrating time if it doesnt just work like so many people claim it does for them.

    I have the idea that it may have been my install of pop os that was causing me issues as I could never get arc raiders to load via steam and that is a game that most people said ran absolutely fine I just got sick of spending hours fucking about with things rather than playing games so ended up putting win 10 back on my machine with intention to return and try a different distro but just haven’t got around to it yet.





  • I feel the same but what it comes down to for me is I hate Nintendo IPs and for the most part it is the Nintendo games that bring people to their consoles.

    Pretty much everything else is available elsewhere. Or at least that is the impression I get. Does the console have any noteworthy exclusives that aren’t Nintendo characters.

    Pokemon would be the main thing that appealed for me too but I liked red, blue, stadium and that was about it. I didnt play much after that and what I did didnt stick so I think I’d have similar feelings to you towards the new ones.


  • I don’t blame you, I was very close to doing so and didn’t really feel it was worth it by the time I was done.

    I will say I did watch the show as well and it kind of deviates from the source before sorting of coming back together with it and then deviating again. You can kind of watch it some what as its own thing.

    It was pretty mid though still so on the whole I really liked the concept as it was presented initially but then both book and TV developed in directions that I think were a bit dull.
