I've been playing a lot of Baldi's Basics Plus (0.8 update) recently. Probably going to play either more FreedroidRPG or Songs of Syx next. My favorite genres are still the same: Any type of RPG (turn-based, action, ...) and RTS games, particularly more complex city builders.
I've watched TGA but there is nothing really in particular that stands out to me. Maybe Witcher 4? But I want to see some gameplay first. In terms of 2024 games I really enjoyed Portal: Revolution.
It's capitalism. Nobody wants to take risks anymore because game development is a huge industry now with many investors who demand their developers play it safe and make sure it has mass appeal. Then even the indies (those who view game dev primarily as a business) see that what the big guys are doing "works" so now they strive to do the same because otherwise there would be no way for them to stay competitive. Only game devs who view making games as a fun thing to do and don't even really think about the industry or the current market can make good games. Which are a small minority at this point, because capitalism favors the former.
Can't wait to see all the tech bros training their LLMs on superior western ~~Tube-~~ Intel/ARM-based computers while claiming that chinese RISC-V/LoongArch systems are worse because backdoors and communist spies.
Kepler cards work "OK" with nouveau. What sucks is that reclocking has to be done manually, video decoding/encoding requires firmware blobs and OpenGL support tends to be meh. Overall it's an unstable experience. I have a stack of Kepler based cards that would still be usable if Linux/mesa had a decent driver.
Or the buggy Bloom effect in Cities Skylines, Stellaris and Surviving Mars that would cause flicker and a weird black screen. Pretty sure they never bothered to fix that.
Firefox does sandbox everything but vulnerabilities exist and sometimes go unnoticed for a while before they're discovered and patched. If a malicious script does manage to escape the sandbox it will be able to do literally anything to the system since it has root privileges. It would have full access to any device that's in /dev, it could create, modify and delete udev or iptables rules, it could mess with the BIOS since the kernel exposes EFI variables, if the mainboard has re-writable flash chips for the firmware it could write malicious code to them since they may show up in /dev, etc. If any of this makes you uneasy then you probably should stop running stuff as root in general except for when you really need to.
Also in general you don't want to run any graphical applications on a Server unless there is a very specific reason for it because it takes up extra resources and therefore makes the machine use more power overall. This is especially bad when the machine in question has no hardware acceleration and renders everything in software. Remote desktop also adds CPU/GPU load and takes up a good bit of I/O and network bandwidth which is not ideal for a NAS server.
I agree. The proxy solution they're proposing seems like a band-aid on a fundamental design issue to me. It's easier to just tack yet another library onto a big project than to refactor large amounts of code. This is exactly why a lot of software is getting more and more shit.
Similar but in this case the Linux Kernel/Init System act as the PXE firmware so you don't need a TFTP Server to load initramfs and a Kernel image. And you don't need a NFS or Samba server because the Server has the drive with the rootfs already exposed to the network.
I don't understand how so many people use that centralized, proprietary piece of big tech spyware for like almost everything. There are so many interesting communities out there that exclusively exist on Discord. I hate how some software projects and games use only Discord to post updates, news, patchnotes, documentation and even download links. And they expect people to just "join our Discord" for suggestions, bug reports and troubleshooting. I don't have a Discord account and I don't plan on making one, ever. There is so much useful and interesting information currently out there that people are never going to get to see simply because it's all scattered in random chat rooms on random Discord servers. And if any of those chat rooms, Discord servers or even Discord itself gets shut down all of that information will inevitably become lost media.
Isn’t that the case with TES as well?
Depends on what TES you're talking about. In Morrowind most people are neutral towards the player and you have to gain their trust or bribe them if you want something from them. Some just hate the player for various reasons and some NPCs are just straight up racist/spiecist. Some refuse to talk to you if you have contraband in your inventory (like skooma or moon sugar). I don't know about the other games but I've heard that the "universally liked player" thing started with Skyrim.
Unless your machine has error correcting memory. Then it will take literally forever.
