rivalary,

Apparently, Linux hosts do not show up when setting up the connection. Hopefully Linux support gets implemented ASAP.

rivalary,

Hopefully they add Linux support soon.

Starfield group fixing Bethesda's bugs say their job is tough as mods feel an afterthought (www.eurogamer.net)

“What’s more frustrating for those working on SCP, and the wider Starfield modding community, is how difficult it is to work with Starfield’s code without official modding tools and support. This isn’t helped by the delayed mod tools from Bethesda, which the company says are coming at some point next year.”

rivalary,

Oooh, pirates!

rivalary,

Right now Valve could disappear and gaming on Linux would continue, better for the efforts Valve have already made. I would think that the improvements would stagnate without Valve, though.

Non-Steam utilities like Lutris, Bottles and Heroic run games nearly as well as Steam. We’d carry on.

rivalary,

Apple does it too. Not that it’s any excuse.

rivalary,

The irony in these nerds attacking WoW nerds.

Edit: for the record, I’m a nerd. But I’m a live and let live nerd.

rivalary,

They would still pretend. And, though it would solve a lot of problems, it would remove purpose for so many people.

rivalary,

I work with a guy who suddenly developed this in the middle of a call. I had to help him back to the office, stopping so he could puke a couple times. He was gone for a while and I don’t think he ever got rid of it.

Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights?

I usually play games on “normal” difficulty these days, for a balanced challenge. However, I don’t particularly enjoy boss fights, or at least I don’t enjoy the extra challenge associated with them. Was thinking it would be nice if games had a separate setting so I could just set boss fights to “easy”, while not...

rivalary,

I’m the complete opposite. I don’t want to feel like the game is letting me win. I want to earn it, at least a little.

rivalary,

My wife and I used to play everquest back in the day and I’ve been trying to get her to try New World with me but we’re just too busy nowadays.

rivalary,

What does Cannibal Corpse say? Other than stuff like I cum blood.

rivalary,

Those are pretty crazy. Written by Chris Barnes, apparently.

rivalary,

22-23 is where I’m comfortable.

rivalary,

Maybe simple to Chris Angel and his magic.

rivalary,

Sorry, I was mainly trying to say, “Good job, it’s impressive!” Your name is close to the name of a famous magician, so I was referring to your code as magic. Bit of a dumb joke.

rivalary,

Clickbait title doesn’t say what the feature is and says it’s being removed for all players, not just disabled by default.

rivalary,

Thanks! Subscribed.

rivalary,

Denuvo… Sigh

rivalary,

And that’s a deal breaker for me

rivalary,

I tried it recently but the issue is that it plays like an MMO. If it had FPS or sword fighting (lightsaber) combat, it would be awesome. The gameplay is super dated.

rivalary,

Nvidia graphics, weird. Looks like a Macbook. Also not a huge fan of Gnome, but still good to see them get some support.

rivalary,

That’s a fair point, though I can’t imagine doing any of that kind of work on an ultralight, or whatever this is.

rivalary,

I see it more of a response of the dumpster fire that is Windows and Microsoft.

rivalary,

It’s just something that people are excited about. It’s also mind-boggling how people complain so much about a product but refuse to replace it. Yeah, I get it how there’s software that only runs on Windows; this is something that should be fixed. We shouldn’t be stuck on a shitty OS with no other options due to required software. That’s the thing about Linux, you can customize it to be whatever you want, whereas you’re stuck with whatever Microsoft gives you with Windows. Just the idea that a single company has control over everything is wrong. I don’t really care if Linux wins out in the end, I just want choice in what OS I can run. That’s it.

rivalary,

Ditto here. I always felt that the desktop environments were just way less polished than Windows, but I feel like it’s been the reverse now with KDE Plasma for the past couple years. I don’t feel like I’m taking a lesser experience for the sake of having control over my computer, at least anymore.

I would actually like if Windows went back to the Windows 7 era of… everything. At least there’d be some competition to Linux. Where it’s sitting right now with both Windows 10 and 11, I’d take a lesser experience under Linux if it meant that Microsoft wasn’t in charge of everything. It’s my computer.

rivalary,

Windows 10 was the start of the enshittification. Windows 7 was the best version of Windows, by far.

rivalary,

Ah, I skipped 8 and 8.1 but I didn’t really hear much complaining at the time.

rivalary, (edited )

I haven’t done much for modding, but I did mod up Beat Saber recently with ModAssistant. What I did was add the ModAssistant exe file as a non-Steam game, then put this in the launch options:

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=“/home/[username]/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/620980” %command%

The 620980 is the AppID for Beat Saber; you’d have to find it for each game. What this does it run the exe file in the same prefix as the game, which is good for making sure that any changes to ini files (etc) in AppData actually get written to the right spot. It worked great, no different than on Windows.

rivalary,

The tragic story of a game that was infected with Denuvo after release day.

rivalary,

Keep in mind that they added Denuvo to the game, apparently post-launch.

rivalary,

They are going to play classic Microsoft and destroy their competition in this way, then they will do what they want when they have a stranglehold on the market.

rivalary,

Ah shit… Removed it from my wishlist. At least I didn’t already buy it.

rivalary,

Heads up that you can hit [escape] key while booting or shutting down in order to see the console and tell what the computer is actually doing.

rivalary,

Well, he technically shot the air too.

rivalary,

Perhaps the arguments made by Satya could be used against Microsoft’s OS market share in the future.

rivalary,

I remember reading something about Japanese publishers using all caps because they don’t use case in their own language. Something like that.

rivalary,

There should be a basic level of understanding a skillset when using a computer when using a computer is part of your job. Users shouldn’t be required to fix technical issues but they should know the terminology (click the file menu, select properties…, or right-click on your desktop and select an option.

Its amazing how people use these tools daily but never learn how to use them. Imagine using saws, lathes, grinders, etc, but not knowing how to safely use them. It’s the same for computers. If you don’t know basic safety, you’ll infect your work network with malware, encrypt important files with CryptoLocker-type malware, etc. Honestly, companies should force a base-level of competence before allowing users on the network, but a lot of the users causing issues are directors or the CEO.

There should be a computer license, like a driving license, that you need to get before you can operate computers connected to the internet in the modern world.

rivalary,

And it’s still a brick, lol.

rivalary,

Or it could be like how our competition bureau is being forced to pay $13 million to Rogers Cable for inconveniencing them with an investigation when Rogers Cable decided to buy Shaw Cable. And the deal went through. Can you imagine?

rivalary,

I don’t get it. If a product sucks, why wouldn’t you switch away from it?

“Don’t suggest I leave my abusive husband, instead I’ll complain about him to my friends until he magically gets better.”

Christ, you guys sound like you have Stockholm syndrome.

rivalary,

I disagree, Microsoft is very abusive to both its users as well as other companies. Just because you want to bury your head in the sand about how they have zero respect for their customers, build shit software, are anticompetitive and have a stranglehold on the entire industry, that’s on you.

I’m not suggesting you use Linux, honestly every OS sucks, but Windows actively works against you. If you want to complain about these problems deliberately created by Microsoft but reject any suggestions of something that might be a better alternative, you’re just a whiner.

But hey, at least Apple didn’t win the OS war. We’d all be stuck with only Apple hardware, no standards and walled gardens. I guess we can thank Microsoft for having an alternative to that.

Anyways, use whatever works for you. And I guess you can complain without wanting a solution to your problems, a lot of people complain like that.

rivalary,

Honestly, I would like more people using it as support from companies would improve and my experience would get better, and competition breeds innovation. But I’m not going to push for it. I’m happy with what it does for me and I don’t really care if other people use it or not. I just get annoyed when people complain without wanting to hear about solutions or alternatives. I know people who complain because they are chronic complainers and they are not interested in actually fixing any of their problems.

rivalary,

Yep, definitely have to pick the right tool for the job. If you use these things, you’re stuck with Windows. Would be nice if you could install needed software on whichever OS you choose.

rivalary,

Agreed. You’re making compromises no matter what you choose as an OS.

rivalary,

The Linux community is full of elitist assholes who think they’re special because they have the ability to install an OS. However, there are also amazing people making amazing tools, completely free of charge. You can’t paint everyone with the same brush.

Honestly, I wish our governments would pump money and resources into open source operating systems so that we’re not all bound to one OS under the complete control of one company.

My understanding of the Nvidia situation is that they are not respecting the kernel’s GPL license, which isn’t right. Nvidia has always done awful, selfish things, which makes sense as they are a market dominant company. It doesn’t mean the Linux developers have to allow them to break the license agreement. Intel and AMD seem to be doing just fine, it’s always Nvidia…

rivalary,

Interesting, I kinda figured that there was some funding by governments but not nearly enough. SE Linux I always assumed was maintained by Redhat, like many other Linux components.

That makes the Nvidia situation a little more interesting. I’d imagine other proprietary software uses GPL’d libraries, like Steam? Doesn’t seem fair if only certain software is being targeted for violating the license. At the same time I’m annoyed how little Nvidia contributes back. It feels like AMD is creating open standards like Freesync while Nvidia won’t let others play with their toys in the sandbox, like G-Sync.

rivalary,

The picture of father and daughter holding hands is just so incredibly sad

rivalary,

I ran into this too. I had this RP moment where I was going to convert my character to a wizard based on where the conversation was going. I realised what was going on and pulled my character out of the conversation and went with my original idea, getting Withers to convert my character to a wizard. In my mind, that’s how the story went.
