Certified foxgirl enjoyer. Weeb, but hasn’t properly watched anime in ages. Gamer of incresingly niche subgenres. Aficionado of racecars, mechas, fighter jets, and any other vehicles you can think of. Lives in the wrong side of the planet compared to all my friends. Made way too many Fedi accounts

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • I've been playing American Truck Simulator, OpenTTD, and sometimes hopping into my playthrough of Stalker Gamma. It's a simple life.

  • Sonetimes i feel like its a lot of work to stick with linux

    Jump

  • Linux IS a lot of work to keep up with. But it's also way better to use after that work is done. And won't be enshittified against your will with every update, unlike Windows.

  • What is your favorite retro racing game?

    Jump

  • Gran Tourismo 2 and 4, Ridge Racer Type 4, Burnout 3 Takedown and NFSU2/MW. I like a lot of racing games but these are my favorite retro ones.

  • EndeavourOS: Our new ISO release is here, meet Mercury

    Jump

  • Splendid! I have a laptop running Arch, and while I did set that one up manually, it was a lot of work. Next time, when I do it on my gaming PC, I'm definitely using Endeavour

  • Can Software Piracy Be Justified?

    Jump

  • Yes. Next stupid question.

  • I think we might be leaving the "boring" part of this dystopia

    Jump

  • Oh hey capitalism wants to create the Daemonculaba.

  • Tough Decisions

    Jump

  • I hate that feeling of bouncing between things, or of just staring at my screen so much. So much. But when it happens, I am rarely able to snap out of it in the moment. It usually takes a few days and a mood change to fix it.

  • Age of Empires designer believes RTS games need to finally evolve after decades of stagnation

    Jump

  • And that, too, isn't new. It's been done since at least the Spellforce series, or Dawn of War 2.

    If you want to see what an "innovated" RTS looks like, check out Beyond All Reason. The base formula is Total Annihilation, but with nearly 30 years of player driven improvements and QoL. That game's UX is extremely smart, and you can keybind or automate so many things on the fly, freeing you up to make strategic and tactical level decisions , instead of spamclicking for micro. Which, you can also do if you want to.

  • Nintendo Switch Emulators?

    Jump

  • I've been playing using the latest forks setup on the Fitgirl torrents of Switch games. Started with The new Zelda and Unicorn Overlord, then grabbed some other games. The folder comes with a launcher to both emulators, I customized the whole thing to be my own Switch central, and updated the Ryujinx build with the last "official" one on the Internet Archive.

    Other than that, this thread has good recommendations for followup projects to both. The megathread has places to download the games themselves individually.

  • Honestly, not surprised

    Jump

  • We finally had a Double Event, like the Pacific Rim scene. Two Eurofighter leaks in as many weeks!

  • Fauna has scheduled an important announcement stream

    Jump

  • It's never been so Faunover.

  • Race ya

    Jump

  • Oh yeah this ABSOLUTELY is a render. The way it moves too stable compared to the boat shaking around is a dead giveaway, and the rotor blades are way too crisp

  • Good casual shooters

    Jump

  • My go-tos on my Arch laptop are Doom and Quake, there's tons of sourceports, both focused on singleplayer or multi player for both games and their sequels. You just need to buy the games once so you have the main game files to use with the optimized source ports.

  • What are your thoughts on Zen Browser becoming a lot more popular than Floorp?

    Jump

  • Floorp is made by young Japanese devs. They have uh, very different naming sensibilities...

  • What desktop enviroment do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Yeah I'm waiting for those. Truth be told, the process of modifying my Arch to have XFCE and remove KDE completely without reinstalling was... A trip. At least for the foreseeable future, I want to leave it as is, since it's working and it looks very nice to me.

  • What desktop enviroment do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Used Mint with Cinnamon for a long time, but always wanted to try KDE after distrohopping a bit. Had it on when I switched to Arch, but didn't like how slow it felt on my old laptop so I tried LXQt and then XFCE. I wanted a modern lightweight environment with Wayland support, but I'll have to wait for it to be implemented. In the meantime, I riced my XFCE just how I like it, and I really like how complete and responsive it is.

  • What to you was your biggest loss of pirated content?

    Jump

  • Demonoid, absolutely! Warez-bb, and many oldschool GeoCities blogs. I remember one that had portable cracks of any programs you could imagine.

  • Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today

    Jump

  • Same thing happened to me a few years ago. My old laptop from 2013 is hardware incompatible with something in modern Windows10 and when it tried installing the late 2019 update it just died. Had to buy a new laptop to keep working.

    Today, that same laptop is happily running Arch Linux. I'm still trying to decide what I'll do with the main gaming PC.

  • Have new distro releases become meaningless?

    Jump

  • As someone who recently switched to Arch (btw) I finally figured out how much work the distros were doing in the background. Between default applications and configurations, there was a lot of stuff I had to learn to do on the fly. I'm happy with my system now though, since it's just the way I wanted it to be.
