  • Linux gaming is growing! The Roblox client Sober was downloaded 1.3 million times this year.

  • Look any game aimed at children is going to have this issue. And trying to force the kid to never play the big game all their friends are almost certainly playing is a fool's errand. Best bet is to let them do so with supervision than to end up with a kid trying to play in secret on their phone or something.

    Along with just... Talking to them about this problem and what to do if they encounter someone being creepy to them. Kids can be pretty smart if you help them and make it clear that they can come to you for that help.

  • Despite it's many, many, many problems it is still incredibly popular. So the fact it's picking up traction on Linux is still interesting for its popularity alone.

    But goddamn is it a fucked up site. And to think I used to play back in 2008 and couldn't have imagined the form it'd take almost 20 years later.

  • G-Assist is ‘real’: NVIDIA unveils NitroGen, open-source AI model that can play 1000+ games for you

  • You're not. You're not doing that work. The LLM is.

  • What's an unpopular UI opinion you have?

    Jump

  • Infinite scroll pages are inherently worse than a set number of pages you can jump between at will. The fact almost everything has swapped to that is a nightmare and makes looking for old things on a blog or hell even a YouTube Playlist a nightmare.

  • At what age did you realize you were LGBTQ?

    Jump

  • I was 17 I realized I was trans. A revelation that helped me better understand my sexuality as well. Turns out I'm bi/pan. I did spend several years just assuming I was ace because the idea of sex didn't interest me until I realized I was a woman.

  • I'm going to be honest those do not sound like good uses. I want games to be designed with intent, not on the spot by an LLM.

  • I don't even want that, I'd rather a game have its characters and writing created with intent by a person who cares.

  • Trump-appointed board renames Kennedy Center to 'Trump Kennedy Center'

  • Not my responsibility to fix your weaponized helplessness. Do something about it or whine impotently. No one is coming to save you.

  • Okay. Then do nothing and let it happen I guess. Those are your two options. Do something about it, or do nothing and let it happen.

  • What do you think you're supposed to do in this situation? Get rid of the fascists.

  • There's secret police kidnapping people in the streets, he talks about running for another term, human rights are being rolled back constantly. They are actively rigging future elections and the Supreme Court and congress are giving him more and more power.

    We're already there.

  • If someone could create your "Ultimate Nostalgia Room" - what would it contain?

    Jump

  • My childhood bedroom basically.

  • A new ‘solution’ to student homelessness: a parking lot where students can sleep safely in their cars

    Jump

  • Heartwarming! Broke students who can't afford places to live allowed to stay in their cars in the parking lot!

  • Is gold investing a scam?

    Jump

  • It's... Not really a scam so much as a thing for weird cranks who think the apocalypse is coming. If you have gold then you have gold. And gold will likely hold its value for a long time because it's a rare resource. Unless we find some alchemy that turns common materials into it, it will likely stay that way. So if you buy gold at market value then you can always sell it later at market value, and that market value is almost guaranteed to be higher than when you bought it.

    The people who are really into it though are the weird cranks. And I'd imagine certain stocks or even bonds are arguably better returns in the same time span.

  • What is your favorite Metroidvania?

    Jump

  • I really like Rabi-ribi

  • What platform currently exists to replace FB?

    Jump

  • My recommendation is to just stop using it and everyone else be damned.

    You have 800 friends, do you actually talk to all 800 of them regularly? Are they actually friends or just people you kinda know who interact with you on Facebook?

    I'd say text your actual friends or talk to them on whatever chat app you prefer, and ignore everyone else.

  • If you care, then I guess you'll just have to keep giving Microsoft your money and data.

    Jump

  • The thing is this is a legitimate problem for the overall success of this. And the success of Linux as a general gaming OS. If people can't play their staples like CoD or fortnite or anything else with this problem, then that'll be enough to decide not to get this. Most people here probably don't care, but we're not the majority. And a lot of us probably aren't in the market for this anyway.

  • To be fair, I don't watch either of those youtubers. So I had no knowledge of this.

  • Well we have a guy who created the Linux kernel... and a shitty youtuber.
