Can anyone recommend a distro (and desktop environment?) that's going to be almost the same as desktop mode on the Steam deck? I'm getting more comfortable in that than I expected to be in any Linux, and to my surprise and delight I haven't had to delve into the command line at all yet.

you upgrade your shit by doing cool stunts and the main mode of progression is a how-much-shit-have-you-blown-up-in-this-area meter.

I saw that one thrown around when I was searching before. I wouldn't really be playing it for the story, but as long as the story's there, should I be familiar with the first two?

You probably want a dedicated game, but I have a lot of fun with Dragon Kart in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

There's so much I want to like about Warframe, but last time I tried it I couldn't get any sense of what a new player's supposed to do to start progressing, or to get the story in a comprehensible way. The build timers also made me sad. I got all the parts, just give me the Rhino.

Still though, "We All Lift Together" is a certified banger.

Ah, maybe that's the missing ingredient. Pretty sure I don't have that yet. I fucked off from the main story almost immediately to go find balloons and such.

Ooh, I wasn't thinking of first-person games, but that does look pretty gnarly.

Oh damn, it's descended from Hulk UD? I loved that game, definitely one that was on my mind for this type of game. I'll certainly be checking this one out then.

Oh yeah, I remember seeing that one, but I never got around to trying it. Sort of a grimdark/knockoff Venom version of Infamous, yeah?

It's not the intelligence I find as interesting as the formal education prior to villainy.

That episode is both one of my favorite pieces of Batman media ever, and also an excellent example of both a "lower decks" episode and a vignette episode. Absolute gem of the whole series.

Something about lobotomizing Jim Gordon and the Mayor to take over the city. His hideout would have to be an incredibly conspicuous pyramid in which he stores grain, so I guess the theme should lean into that.

"Dr. Pharaoh", maybe? He dresses like a pharaoh but he has a surgeons mask, stethoscope, and that old timey mirror on a headband. He throws scalpels much like Batman does batarangs, and has goons dressed like Egyptian royal servants who carry him on a palanquin.
