Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.
2048 is so good. I love the teams each having three craft types. The tracks are really fun, with both wide sections where you can go flat out without a care, and narrow parts where you have to really thread the needle and use the airbrakes with total precision.
If you haven’t already, check out BallisticNG. It’s a retro style re-implementation of the classic WipEout physics, and the upcoming update will fully implement the 2048 physics mode.
Any AG racing fans in here?
BalisticNG is my latest main game, but my love began with the WipEout series.
I also enjoy Redout and Redout 2, but the lack of weapons means I can only go so long before needing to play WipEout or BNG again.
Obligatory mention of !ballisticng@sopuli.xyz
There are a lot of kinks around VR on linux. Wayland has been better in my experience, but I still can’t believe SteamVR on linux just doesn’t have power management for the base stations implemented. Like, it works, there’s a fucking python script that can do it! But not via SteamVR.
I use an app on my phone to turn my base stations on and off.
Here’s hoping the Deck and whatever Deckard turns out to be means Valve is in the process of improving the situation.
This is a very, very bad idea.
SSDs are permanent flash storage, yes, but that doesn’t mean you can leave them unpowered for extended periods of time.
Without a refresh, electrons can and do leak out of the charge traps that store the ones and zeroes. Depending on the exact NAND used, the data could start going corrupt within a year or so.
HDDs suffer the same problem, though less so. They can go several years, possibly a decade, but you’d still be risking the data on the drive but letting it sit unpowered for an extended time.
For the “cold storage” approach you should really be using something that’s designed to retain data in such conditions, like optical media, or tape drives.
VR games work just fine in proton, as long as you’re on Vive or Index.
It’s the the headsets that don’t support linux, unfortunately.
Also more than half of games with AC do in fact run on linux right now, and the world hasn’t ended.
Don’t be obtuse.
There are other concerns with developing space tech besides ones concerning competence and expertise.
Even that is worth questioning, as Russia is suffering historical levels of brain-drain for obvious reasons.
As an infrastructure project its conceptually pretty sick. A nuclear power plant would be fairly ideal for the first long-term human presence on the moon.
The problem is that it’s Russia and China doing it.
It’s to serve as a power source for a potential moon base, apparently.
It’s not for everyone, it being a third instead of first person shooter with the complexity of a MOBA.
But goddamn I am obsessed.
And as an older, more chilled out gamer, the toxicity doesn’t get to me the way it used to when I played Dota after school every day.
No matter how well or badly a match is going, I’m managing to have fun regardless. I just don’t assign the emotional stakes to being the best player in a lobby, or to the matchmaking landing me on a winning team.
At the same time there is an absolute crap-ton of mechanics I enjoy, and I’m up to matchmaking with 9 characters selected. How is every damn aspect of every part of this game this fun?!
No. EAC and Battleye developed ways to explicitly support proton, which has to be explicitly enabled by the developer for the game to run.
Proton didn’t change, the popular AC options did. They’ve had proton support pretty much since the steamdeck launched, and it works great as long as the developer of a game bothers checking the checkbox for it.
EAC works on linux just fine, and the fact that Apex runs, means Respawn deliberately allows it.
I just checked the docs for installation instructions, it didn’t seem to make a distinction anymore.
Great. It wasn’t too long ago that MariaDb was still the “recommended” option.
Nextcloud.
Though I think it has some level of support for postgres by now. I should check on that.
How the fuck do you “accelerate” something they are already achieving?
Not sure how much of a future it can have even if you slap on some “speed”.
…
It’s Actiblizz.
Holy shit, lot of games under that wing.
Maybe we can finally get a switch version of BallisticNG, they had to shut that down because nintendo version gates unity game releases, and they couldn’t update the engine without switching to the new license.
Yes and no.
Pending means the sub hasn’t gone through to the home instance of the community. If you’re the first subscriber, this means the there will be no inbound federation bringing the content from that community to your instance.
If someone else on your instance has already successfully subbed, the federating is already occurring, and your instance will be receiving the activity as it comes in.
Your instance will then show it to you, both in your subscriptions and in general, even though the sub is pending.
If your sub stays pending, you may have to unsub and resub to get it to work. If no-one else on your instance has subbed either, then the activity will continue to not show up for as long as it is pending.
