First, it’s not true that there’s no protection - various anti-cheat solutions do support Linux.
Second, “strong” solutions still let through cheaters, because client-side anti cheat is an inherently unwinnable cat-and-mouse game. It’s better for everyone to block kernel-level AC and instead force better backend solutions.
Not sure I understand - games with kernel-level anti cheat also still have cheaters.
Currently kernel-level anti cheat isn’t available for Linux, so games that are released with multiplayer support don’t require it (e.g. games that enable Linux support in EAC).
If kernel-level anti cheat is supported by Valve, many of those games will start requiring it. So if you don’t want kernel stuff, there’s a real chance this development will reduce the number of available games in the future.
Fixed save points in general.
To be fair, non-fixed savepoints introduce a bunch of additional work, especially on the gameplay design and testing sides, and for some games that work is better invested into other aspects of the game.
But if savepoints are fixed, they have to be frequent enough to not become an issue.
More flash memory also helps when you only use a little space - you can do many, many more write cycles before degradation sets in.
It does in-universe, but out-of-universe it came later & is less recognizable than SCP.
It only limits you if you expect things to work exactly the same as with any other distro. If you spend some time reading up on how it expects you to solve different tasks, it doesn’t limit you for 99+% of scenarios.
The shitty news here is if you want a machine you’re doing software dev on you’re going to need to figure out the nvidia driver shit, which is a pain in the ass but if you’re a software developer you should be able to do it.
The dev-focused atomic Fedora variants solve all Nvidia issues for you, there’s no reason why you should trouble yourself with it.
Interesting, I didn’t know that! Though honestly the perfect description.
I get it for most of those, but SCP isn’t really an abbreviation.
Not naming names, but if your org doesn’t use the classic Admin & Password defaults, and forces you to renew your terminal passwords on a regular basis, don’t write it down on a Post It and stick it to your fucking monitor where anyone walking past can see.
Got it. I’ll write it down on a Post It, take a photo, and will make that my desktop background instead.
That’s a roundabout way of writing 50500
Now imagine if we had a balanced budge AND we could pay off our debt, like the way any financially responsible, prudent person runs their household.
And now please stop imagining such nonsense and remember that a national budget is in no way comparable to that of a household.
Not sure if it’s my absolute favorite, but Pathologic has fascinated me for years.
There are so many strange and unique aspects to the world (especially the Polyhedron, an impossible tower floating above the town) that already make for excellent world building, but when they come together it creates a feeling I haven’t felt from any other world.
You know how Lovecraftian horror has a very distinct feeling? The world of Pathologic makes me feel something vaguely similar, but completely unique - no horror or aliens, but the feeling of powers existing far beyond our understanding combined with people who somehow do understand small parts, and the consequences of their choices affecting everyone… it’s really hard to put into words, but it feels like it created its own genre.
Grants aren’t donations.
That makes a terrifying amount of sense
I’m sorry, but why in the ever loving fuck would someone install Windows on a Steam Deck?
IIRC you get the achievement when you play on a server while Gary is online there
I see, thanks!
It can be, spinning iron has pretty bad throughput.
