Wus-ter-sure

It’s running through Proton, he mentioned that in the benchmarks it shows up “as playing on windows” because of Proton.

Other than that Nick is pretty transparent about what he does, if something is not mentioned it’s likely whatever is default on the distro when running steam through flatpak (flatpak was mentioned).

You can tune any distro to any degree you want and replace everything including a custom built kernel to get performance. But you know not everyone can/wants to do that, I have a toddler so I’m not going to take a whatever Debian and install a new scheduler and whatever just cause.

You might forget that Linux desktop is growing super fast and fiddling with stuff under the hood is not that common and noobs and people with experience end up fucking things up constantly. Having something that’s performant, optimised for your use case, whatever optimisations baked in won’t break with updates and you can just install it and forget is a really big deal. This is just not something that was available.

I think you should stop the hate and allow people to be happy with the distro they like for whatever reason.

That doesn’t work? I would have thought it would work.

Waiting for it to be rewritten in rust

You can also just do a sudo !! the !! is a shorthand for whatever you tried to run previously.

Must be a troll comment.

I play indie games a bunch, here’s my shortlist:

• Factorio (factory builder)
• Enter the Gungeon (bullethell top down shooter)
• Slay the spire (rougelike deckbuilder)
• Subnautica (underwater exploration/survival/base building) - nr 2 is in early access, publisher deal with Krafton so good for the devs they fucked up trying to get out)
• Megabonk (rougelike auto-shooting, 3d vampire survivors type)
• Outer Wilds (space mystery exploration)
• Chants of Senaar (language decoding)
• Return to the Obra Dinn (forensics)
• Dave the Diver (dive fishing/sushi serving)
• Celeste (2d platformer)
• Neon White (speedrunning FPS)
• Papers Please (soviet style document checking)
• Cuphead (metroidvania)
• Magic Archery (very short and solid incremental, free and unmonetized, very rare)
• Inscryption (deckbuilder)
• Schedule I (drug dealing sim)
• Hollow Night (2d platformer Soulslike)
• Hades (roguelite)

All of them are good and they’re mostly different types of games. All are tons of fun to play and most of them have a very charming art style (schedule I, and Megabonk Notably lacking there)

Out of these the absolute favorites are Factorio, Outer Wilds, Return to the Obra Dinn.

Side note, very important you stick with Outer Wilds until you find a major secret, people sometimes bounce off it and miss out on a once in a lifetime gaming experience.

Just to add, finding good wayland support can be more important for gaming depending on your hardware. You get HDR, variable refresh rate, fractional scaling for monitors and other goodies.

Overkill for the use case, great deal for the price. Also will last forever with 4 battery cells.

Honestly, I also felt like it was boring starting out since you’re just exploring aimlessly. Then after a while of just flying all over and looking at shit it starts clicking, the pieces start falling into place and the enjoyment of the game grows. Revisiting old places doesn’t feel like a chore anymore because you’re using new knowledge and instead of aimlessly wandering you’re on a mission to explore a nook that looked off limits.

So yeah, if you started it and didn’t get far it sucks, if you finished it then it’s amazing.

As a counter example MonsterSSS has a lot of fun.

This is what happens when you reward people based on token usage. People no joke can just put in before every PR “review every detail, be very thorough, make sure it fits into everything, check for every possible undefined behavior etc.” while giving the model a massive doc with list of all files in the project.

Not even sure if they check the prompts because “review formatting of the entire codebase” is also super heavy in a large repo but if prompts get checked it’s an obvious token sink.

The model will just ransack the whole project every time through the whole stack when you could enforce a contract with a couple of tests with strict input validation.

Uber has the dumbest AI policy in the industry.

I still sometimes do it randomly because of editor lag in Jetbrains Ideavim, you can just hit u usually until you get back to where you were.

} jump forward to next empty line is really quick for navigating, also if you know the identifier then /myVar<enter>nnnn is much faster than scrolling and gets you ready to edit. Otherwise 5j;;;; also works of course.

I use Neovim as much as possible but Jetbrains C# just has a really nice debugging experience (with Vim mode on, of course). I still use Neovim for reading C# and doing some small edits and it works really well when reading what the LLM wrote.

It’s hard to beat stepping through a method until you hit an exception, go into a catch block, ctrl+O until you hit the last line before the exception, breakpoint, skip to top of method and rerun.
