• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even get why people are addicted to them. I watch at most 5 a day. And most days 0. I guess that’s the advantage of desktop, the controls aren’t dumbed down to just flicking my finger across the screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 mods are flowing, offering quicker movement, more blood, and a manicure⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I was kind of hopeful seeing as Paradox was backing it, but alas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 mods are flowing, offering quicker movement, more blood, and a manicure⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof, it’s not getting good reviews. Apparently there’s no inventory, no items and no roleplay elements. I don’t even know what the game is then, but it doesn’t seem like a successor to the original game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fight the nazis to rescue your dog in the new free shooter Darkenstein 3D out now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a middle aged man now, I was around when 3D acceleration became a thing for PC, first with Voodoo 1 and so on and so forth. And let me tell ya, you don’t need 18 gigs for these graphics. Or maybe you do, maybe it takes like 200 hours to complete the game, idk. I’m just complaining about the compression.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fight the nazis to rescue your dog in the new free shooter Darkenstein 3D out now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Jeez, 18.6 gigs for a game that looks like that. I’m going to play it anyway of course, but I wonder why, with low res textures and models, that it takes that much space. Engine?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xubuntu website hijacked to serve malware⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw a video on this yesterday. Apparently it’s a crypto scam thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If by dealt with immediately they let him go and just gave him a 30 day ban initially, then yes. She had to talk to her manager who then talked to Twitch who then upped that ban to a permanent one. And I don’t even think the police has been involved yet.
  Amazon wanted to brush this under the carpet…
  I really miss the pre-amazon days of Twitch…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG say their preservation program has been "harder than we thought", thanks to DRM and elusive creators⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the “elusive creators” is a tough nut. If some company went bankrupt 10-20 years ago, and no trace of who holds the IP etc. that’s a lot of detective work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Verified Steam game steals streamer's cancer treatment donations⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw this earlier today, the clip on lsf to be precise.
  Modern computing sucks. I remember downloading sketchy shit from astalavista.box.sk all the time, and because of that I had to format c: several times a year. But these days? Scary stuff. Luckily I don’t have crypto. And while proton on linux simulates a sandboxed windows environment, there’s still free access to root via the Z: drive that wine sets up, so unless one uses the flatpak version which is even more sandboxed, there’s still some potential danger there even as a linux user. It’s just a matter of when.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NVIDIA are investing $5 billion in Intel to develop new chips together⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why does this feel like Google investing into Mozilla to avoid a monopoly lawsuit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Super Mario Bros Remastered open source fan project brings an impressive remake to PC⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s see how long that lasts. I’m just glad I grew up on Sega in the 90s. It can’t be easy being a fan of Nintendo…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you've given up on Civilization 7, Civ 6 is free with all DLC expansions for a limited time on Epic Games Store⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m 1500 hours away from hitting 10k in Civ 5. I think I’ll stick with that for a few years more until LEKMOD stops being updated, and then I’ll think about giving 6 a chance…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been using DS3 controllers for years, but they are starting to wear. The drift isn’t bad at all, but it’s there, although I suspect it’s mostly a few rubbers that’d need replacing, I have heard great things about 8BitDo, especially their Hall Effect controllers. Very reasonably priced as well.
  So this announcement is just the kick in the butt I needed to get a Pro 2 Hall Effect one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After shuttering Shadow of Mordor and MultiVersus studios, Warner Bros. Games confirm rearrangement into four bits⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is bullshit indeed. Especially now with AI, seemingly it would be relatively easier to throw in some adversarial llm in a game to keep a game engaging nowadays.
  And imagine if other games started patenting systems like that: “Fatrolling is a unique movement system only found in FromSoftware games”. Soon there wouldn’t be anyone making games except for those with patents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After shuttering Shadow of Mordor and MultiVersus studios, Warner Bros. Games confirm rearrangement into four bits⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Btw. the patented Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor that everyone loved despite only having been used in that one game, won’t expire until 2036, and yeah, Warner Bros. gets to keep it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is expanding its ad-blocking powers — closes loopholes that allowed some users to bypass restrictions⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, it only lasted for a few hours, then I updated the ublock origin filters and things were back to normal. In the meanwhile I just streamed youtube videos via a media player that had builtin yt-dlp (smplayer) support.
  It’ll always be a game of cat and mouse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OBS Studio 31.1.0 Beta 1 brings Multitrack Video to Linux⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess that’s pretty cool. What would be even cooler was client side control of the multitrack audio sources. Would be amazing if each viewer could control the volume of each audio source broadcast from the OBS streamer. Imagine being able to control the volume of the game shown or turn up the volume of the streamer, or turn down the volume of the music etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, so WinAero points out React Native is cross-platform, but surely that shouldn’t matter for the Windows start menu, right? Unless it’s some ARM compatibility thing, making it easier to port or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods cross-platform app v0.11.1 brings full Cyberpunk 2077 support for Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The new Nexus Mods App runs quite nice on linux. I’ve only tested it with Bannerlord as that’s the only game I own out of the 4 ones being tested currently and unfortunately it doesn’t launch directly from the app, but it does correctly deploy the mods, so after one has added the mods, one can launch the game from a preferred launcher like steam or heroic games launcher and it works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Enhanced Edition is out now, needs a workaround on Linux⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All 3 titles are getting review bombed on steam currently, apparently it’s a low-res blurry mess.

  Thanks a bunch @PerfectDark@lemmy.world. So is this an interview that was originally posted on reddit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Showing your ID to get online might become a reality⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, it’s a pretty rage-inducing proposal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo launches 148 new courses as it shifts to AI-first, replacing workers with AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve been emailing me daily since I began the account deletion progress. Of course it’s one of those crappy “it takes 7 days just because, and if you log back in, we restart the timer!”.
  For comparison I recently deleted my NordVPN account and it was instant.

  At least that makes it easier to spot the US brands and avoid them then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fedora Linux 42 is out now with KDE Plasma Desktop promoted and x86 programs on ARM⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I did notice my RSS downloader having downloaded Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-x86_64-42 from distrowatch, but I wasn’t entirely sure if it was the real deal or still beta.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla accused of hacking odometers to weasel out of warranty repairs⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Who would’ve guessed that part of ones morning routine before going to work would be to take a picture of your odometer to ensure not getting scammed. I guess it isn’t that surprising after the VW emission scandal where they ran a different configuration, reducing emissions, whenever someone was testing the car.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to install Minecraft on the Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Although it’s been half a year, that was the route I went with as well. Fabulously Optimized is a great place to start as a base for making ones own custom modpack.
