Unfortunately my Intel card craps out when trying to color correct the display.

Can you see with top or ps what program is eating up all the RAM? Probably some bug you may report.

Try to automate updates as much as possible so that new security bugs get fixed quickly.

I often exit a shell with ctrl+d. And I often see if a shell is still connected by pressing enter. They are definitely not equivalent.

Now that I think about it, the marvellous thing about BG3 isn’t just the acting of the main characters but of the minor NPCs as well. It shows an unprecedented attention to detail and love and care.

I think the only “bad” acting I encountered in the game was that one kid who was apparently voiced by one of the staff’s kids. And that’s only because the model looked too old, for which I suspect that the kid chose their own model.

At least Silent Hill 2 was great as well. Lae’zel’s actress Devora Wilde actually did some mocap for it. She did some Maria and some of the monsters.

She’s streaming her own playthrough on Twitch. It’s hilarious and painful. BG3 was the first video game she’s ever played since the Sims back then.

But yeah, they really upped the game. And apparently they got Liv Tyler interested in doing games as well.

We’re really living through the time gaming is growing up.

Just the occasional bug report. I don’t have more to spare. Most I have ever done was to give code for a semi-big new feature back. I had developed it for work and was glad that I got permission to publish the code. Especially when someone fixed a bug in it.

I also contributed to PHP. That’s the biggest project with my contribution. I also tried to make something for OpenSUSE’s zypper but thanks to Long COVID lack the energy and brain power.

Not a far fall for Magic the Gathering since the Pinkerton incident.

That would be great. It would mean a ton of lost revenue and bad publicity for Denuvo.

Yeah, another good example of the XY-Problem.

I did that. Turns out my error had nothing to do with space. I was just booting into a read-only snapshot by default. Rolling back to a later snapshot fixed everything.

You are actually kinda right. My error is that / is read only. The other subvolumes are writable. No idea why or how I can find out why.

“We have patented the concept of playing and will now sue every company that makes toys or games.”

If I understand subvolumes correctly they share their space when they reside on the same device. I only have two partitions. One for /boot/efi and one for the rest.

He’ll probably try to catch the eggs being launched his way.

It’s the integration into the Steam interface. So you could manage all your games through one interface.

It could have compatibility with everything in Steam, including achievements. But as long as it’s closed source I won’t touch it.

Small tangent, I didn’t have the energy to read your whole post, so you might have addressed that. But often it’s cheaper to go with an established multi purpose device instead of building something new.

I used to build and sell Raspberry Pi gaming handhelds that were as cheap as possible and literally just held together by some string. My purpose was to get enough money through the sales to be able to build one for myself. Sure, the building process was fun. But when I crunched the numbers just buying a cheap smartphone and controller was much cheaper and more performant and versatile than the self-built solution.

Just buying a cheap phone or tablet is often the cheaper solution.

Heck, even Valve just bought off the shelve tablet displays and turned the image in software for the Steam Deck.

For VR with Oculus (Quest or older?) you can use ALVR. It can be a bit fiddly but it also gets better with each release and it’s been a while since I tried it out. Steam Link might also work. I couldn’t try that because it only works on Quest 2 and upwards and I only have a Quest 1.

A common theme I have seen with her is reporting about a new paper about an older hypothesis. Then saying stuff like “this has been known since 2007, and still [field]-scientists are ignoring it, why?” But when you watch a scientist’s video who actually is from that field they will also mention the older papers and go on to list a myriad of reasons why it hasn’t been accepted yet.

Diablo and Diablo 2 (not Resurrected)

I think Diablo 2 even came with an extra disc specifically so you could give it to your friend to play via LAN. Then these fuckers removed the option in Resurrected even though they promised they wouldn’t.

StarCraft and the old Warcraft games work via LAN as well.

Quake, Doom, Unreal (Tournament), Half Life
