No idea about the first, but php because it’s a pretty cool and modern language.

If you get 20 fps on medium settings in crowded areas with latest RTX card, yeah, it’s unoptimized.

Can I offer to take away some punctuation from you in these trying times?

Just a reminder that there’s more non-native English speakers than native ones.

Interesting game, finished it once.

All of those just sound easier to pronounce, even though “sympatico” is kinda longer than necessary. My point is that almost all the Fediverse software has awkward to pronounce names which doesn’t really help with the initial adoption.

Nah, it’s a good name, has a nice ring to it and if two syllables. Friendica is hard to pronounce and sounds awkward.

Stop naming Fedi software with shitty names, you’ll have more people.

That doesn’t really matter, it’s optimised to run everything. Sure, it might not work and in that case you’re not likely to get help if it’s not on Steam, but chances it will run are pretty high.

You can run non-Steam games through Proton as well. Or was it a game that doesn’t work with Proton?

Last time I tried it I failed, so I decided Proton is more than enough.

TIL, thanks for the info!

Where should they learn this if everyone was like you?

You can use virtual machine if you manage to set up direct GPU passthrough.

That’s the best part: You don’t! That’s pretty much the reason I stopped pirating PC games.

Why gatekeep? If it helps a single user, it’s a worthy post.

Well, if it’s not something I really want to see, I just close it. If I do want to see it, then:

• if I’m on my laptop, I open dev tools and remove the element blocking other interaction
• if I’m on my phone or the above doesn’t work on laptop, I open an anonymous window, disable adblock, read/watch/whatever the content, enable adblock, close anonymous window

I do and same for other kinds of annoyances, like the recent trend of “pay us or give us consent to mine your data”.

Without religion bad actors would rise up, because they’re bad

True. So we should allow violent pedophile cults to continue in the meantime? No progress at all, until we find the perfect solution? Which doesn’t exist, so just “no progress at all”?

I’m not saying Iraq is a shining beacon of humanist values

That sounds like a really huge understatement. That’s like saying Mengele didn’t have the best bedside manners with his patients.

I can’t really speak for the US, I was talking mainly about Europe. My country has an age of consent of 15 and I’m pretty fine with that. I think 14 is fine as well, though there would need to be some exceptions, like only with similar-age people. 12 sounds too young, but I really don’t know the specific laws of the EU countries, hopefully it’s not as simple as “you’re 12 now, you can get fucked by a persuasive 40yo and all’s fine”.

If nothing else, you most likely already hit puberty when you’re 12 which cannot really be said for 9 years old. Muslims wanting to marry 9 year olds is regular pedophilia and/or slavery. You basically buy a 9yo kid, beat her a few times a day if she doesn’t listen to what you say or doesn’t do what you want her to do, if you’re a pedo you rape her when you want to, if you’re not a pedo you wait a few years until you start raping. I don’t think anything similar is happening in any EU country at scale (there are always exceptions of course, but the difference is they have to hide it from everyone because the society is not okay with it).

And sure, everyone always argues “but it’s not the religion” and yeah, maybe they’re partially right. My two counterpoints are that their religion specifically says that their Sharia “law” is the only permissible law and way too many muslims believe that. And the other counterpoint is purely statistical: If there’s too much correlation between two things, you should maybe be a little more cautious.

Add to that my beef with adult people who believe in imaginary beings ruling over their life and murdering, raping and enslaving in the name of said imaginary beings. On this particular point I don’t really care whether you believe in a pedophile prophet or a sure-to-be-white Jesus who hates gays or an all-knowing god who can’t make his goddamn mind and destroys the world for shit and giggles.

Note that I’m not saying we should stop immigration or whatever, I’m fine with immigrants, I just think we should ban the religion. And put people responsible for the brainwashing into prison, like we would do with any other cult that promotes violence.

When I was a kid, my 14 year old classmate married a 68 year old priest.

That would not be possible in my country.
