- Comment on Microsoft is working to eliminate PC gaming's "compiling shaders" wait times 3 days ago:
Not played enshrouded in a while, should play again sometime. Ideally play some coop too
- Comment on And there it is: Highguard is shutting down next week 1 week ago:
I don’t find free/very cheap live service games to be quite so bad if its fun to play without spending much/anything. But the knowledge that it will disappear at some point is still a negative.
- Comment on And there it is: Highguard is shutting down next week 1 week ago:
I mainly hear about games through Gaming on Linux or recommendations from others, works as a pretty good way to filter out the shit.
- Comment on And there it is: Highguard is shutting down next week 1 week ago:
Never heard of it, shit like this is just more reasons to avoid live service games. Certainly don’t spend money on them as it’s likely to disappear sometime.
- Comment on Timberborn devs announce automation is coming to the city-builder in the 1.0 release 2 weeks ago:
“Take it a step further and pause your Lumber Mills when you are running low on logs” - so resource levels can be used to enable or disable jobs, wanted something like that for ages!
The HTTP thing seems interesting but not sure if it’s overly practical to benefit from. Seems like it can only send true/false values, things I can think of doing would take a huge number of in-game sensors to read values.
Idea I had was a terminal window or web interface on a tablet with readouts like Bread: |||____ Bakery: Active, it would be possible but each bar on the stockpile readout would require building and configuring another thing ingame. Would love it if I could just send all resource data out over HTTP with a single resource counter building.
- Comment on California law to require operating systems to check your age 2 weeks ago:
If its on the OS at least there is just 1 thing to bypass I suppose is the main benefit I can see with that method.
- Comment on California law to require operating systems to check your age 2 weeks ago:
Step 1: don’t worry you don’t even need to give it ID!
Step 2: now pretty much everyone has implemented this, we will require ID
- Comment on Don't fancy trying Marathon this weekend? Lucky you, as there's now the chance to have a go at Horizon Hunters Gathering 3 weeks ago:
No idea what either game is and the article doesn’t exactly make me want to care.
- Comment on Kerbal Space Program spiritual successor Kitten Space Agency now has a Linux version 3 weeks ago:
Yeah that is what I liked doing with KSP mods. My last long playthrough was using USI mods and that at least partially gets away from the jank by abstracting the majority of the bases across the solar system to a spreadsheet with no parts used, including interplanetary logistics. Then you just need a few parts where you want to take some actual resources out to use them for something.
I got to the point of having fuel stations around orbit of Kerbin and both of its moons, also had rare mineral mining going to make cash. If I play again the next step is to start mining and refining useful amounts of metals so that my orbital ship assembly doesn’t need to import quite so much mass from the space centre. Start with mining to make the heavy bits first and then over time build more and more of the production chain myself in space so fewer and fewer things need to be launched into space.
Once all that stuff is done, start looking to other planets as well. Although I often ran quite a few simultaneous missions so already got probes heading out to most planets. At least tiny probes if nothing else, as once its small enough it doesn’t really need to be the most efficient launch window. Just burn an extra 2000dV of fuel which is only about 100kg? Sure, this rocket is so cheap it doesn’t really matter.

Something I liked in KSP was building based on moons, would love it if that is less janky and more useful.
- Comment on Ubisoft shuts down any possibility of Rainbow Six Siege becoming playable on Steam Deck 1 month ago:
Ok, probably wasn’t going to play it anyway
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls Online's smaller expansions are "not in any way" a result of last year's layoffs 1 month ago:
Wtf is the point in battle passes anyway? I remember when war thunder introduced them and it was just another bullshit popup on login like all the others. Just became login, esc esc esc esc esc, ok the shit is all gone now I can press play.
- Comment on Ah yes, a Palworld card game is on the way, can't think of any other creature collector that has one of those 2 months ago:
Not interested in buying them but I love seeing stuff like this, fuck the big corporation.
Next we need spaceking miniatures.
- Comment on RAM may be abominably expensive, but hey, at least SSD prices are also exploding 2 months ago:
Did it only have a 1 year warranty? That sounds terrible.
- Comment on RAM may be abominably expensive, but hey, at least SSD prices are also exploding 2 months ago:
Guess I won’t be getting a 4TB SSD any time soon then. Ahh well, I can fit stuff on my smaller SSD it just means rotating it from HDD storage when it isn’t going to be used.
- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 3 months ago:
With PC sales?
- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 3 months ago:
They don’t need to worry about shareholders demanding maximum profit. They are still going to be looking to profit but they can do things for purposes beyond just extracting as much as possible in the short term.
- Comment on With just a microSD card, you’ll be able to easily bring your games across the Steam Deck, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame. 3 months ago:
Copy it over the network instead so its on the internal memory of both devices. Uses your fast LAN instead of slow internet.
- Comment on With just a microSD card, you’ll be able to easily bring your games across the Steam Deck, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame. 3 months ago:
Yeah you can use the internal storage and if you still wanted to copy the games across you can always do it over the internet (or LAN). I think Steam does have a built in way to do this now as well or you can just send it yourself as a file with rsync or what ever tool you feel like copy/pasting with.
- Comment on Research shows 4K or 8K screens offer no distinguishable benefit over similarly sized 2K screen in average living room 4 months ago:
Resolution wouldn’t make much difference but other improvements exist that could improve the image quality. If you have moving light and dark next to each other there can be a delay in the pixels changing colour or a bit of light bleeding across from one to the other. There is also how vibrant the range of colours are.
Unfortunately these things are a bit harder to measure and show than resolution.

Never had it wanted gamepass
- Comment on Imgur is now geoblocking the UK 5 months ago:
This is what I get when viewing from the UK
- Comment on Imgur is now geoblocking the UK 5 months ago:
Lemmy admins are required to, but they can also tell the UK regulators to go fuck themselves. 4chan went with that approach. If you are not living or visiting the UK and are not selling products in the UK you don’t really need to respect UK law in any way.
- Comment on Gaming handheld prices are out of control, except for the Steam Deck 6 months ago:
With google looking at locking down Android and preventing you from installing things on it I would rather not
- Comment on Gaming handheld prices are out of control, except for the Steam Deck 6 months ago:
Could there be an argument about the R&D costs not being factored in there? So for companies that can’t compete, its literally a skill issue.
- Comment on Gaming handheld prices are out of control, except for the Steam Deck 6 months ago:
I would love to see a lower powered and low budget focused one. Powerful enough for locally running a web browser, normal Linux stuff like SSH and some low spec games like CDDA. Otherwise most games would be played by streaming it from your desktop.
- Comment on Microsoft is moving antivirus providers out of the Windows kernel. Hopefully anti-cheat will be next 8 months ago:
The best anticheat is whitelisting. More coop games, why does it matter if the enemy force is a computer or player? As long as the AI is good enough.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 8 months ago:
Perpetuum official servers went down years ago, so they open source the server and the game lives on
- Comment on AI CEO – Replace Your Boss Before They Replace You 8 months ago:
I wish there were actual choices for people though, they may as well not exist with how rare they are. Great if you are lucky enough to get one of course but most are not.
- Comment on Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports 8 months ago:
And yet instead of focusing on their success, did everything to make as many more failures as possible.
