I used to support them but when they opened the floodgates to trash games I didn’t get much reason to stick around. I miss and crave curation over volume. If both stores have heaps of garbage and steam has far better Linux support with valve actively contributing to and improving the Linux ecosystem… I’m going steam most of the time now.
Sad as in theory I would support gog more but it seems like they’ve discarded what made them special.
I would seriously consider something like this since my computing job requires me to stare at a light bulb all day. Perhaps there’s a demographic that would spring for this in the same way there is for quality chairs.
“Yellow taxi goes vroom” is delightful to play on the Deck.
Same here. I went through applying a 60 fps patch for dark souls 1 (cause I do prefer it) and once I hit a listed bug of getting flung off a ladder I unapplied that shit immediately. It’s not worth it.
It’s not that they necessarily care, it’s that it’s the assumed default. So then I have to respond with “I can’t do that, can you upload it here?” it makes me the odd one out making people jump through hoops.
The iphone/non-iphone situation is utterly insane to me. I am constantly being punished for not having an iphone, be it texting or airdrop. These things should be standardized and interoperable, not owned commodities by companies. Grrr.
Good choice! It looks super nice.
Indeed. Xmpp is lost as a general purpose chat app for everyone. I have many issues with matrix but it’s the best chance we have, particularly with bridges.
Ha. Been there, spending hours and hours trying to get some game working. I’m thankful it’s been so much better in recent years. So much more painful a decade or so ago.
That said, I never had to work around anticheat stuff. That sounds tough.
Some quick searches suggest Nexon having a pretty poor reputation on account of aggressive micro transactions/loot boxes. That is pretty shitty behavior for sure.
I wonder if purchasing a game like DtD, a game without such poison, is helpful to send a message that people like games without these predatory tactics.
Who am I kidding? It wouldn’t change anything.
Interesting point. I wonder if this person spent hours trying to get that kind of junk working without an understanding of the OS (Their comfort level was hinted at through the article)
I live life dangerously and don’t bother with protectors. Neither the deck nor my phones!
That’s good to hear, and I really would love for things to get sorted out. Gimp 3.x has many improvements for sure but there’s a long way to go and actually releasing these improvements is necessary…
If gimp can become another blender that would be incredible.
Ha, reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJBEAZFP0aA
Glad it suits your needs!
They’ve been completely dropping the ball for years. I used to donate regularly but have completely given up on this project. It’s a farce at this point.
Thankfully I only have simple needs so Krita suffices and I don’t have to deal with the never-improving UX nightmare and never-releasing changes.
Yeah, I’m salty. It’s just that GIMP was a shining star of FOSS and it’s just been slowly rotting from inaction.
Ohhh I bet outer wilds is great on the deck. What a masterpiece.
Yeah, I’m not too fond of that statement. I respect ddevault, particularly since I have seen his serious growth into a mature, empathetic person. So ICM surprised that this made it into the post.
I find the hate for Gutenberg to be overblown. I don’t see how it is difficult to write… You just type like any other input field. It separates out to paragraphs but it isn’t something so massively different that it changes the paradigm. Weird.
But this converter will be very handy for some very old documents I obtained and gave up on scripting conversions for.
I notice it because the signal drowns out the noise. It’s so hard to browse or find interesting new games made by passionate devs because so much low-effort barely-games and hentai visual novels flood it all out.
I’m all for adult sex games but jfc it’s just sad how awful and unending their presence is.
