  • Hollow Knight Silksong Patch Version 1.0.28497 Now Live

    Jump

  • Moorwing filtered a lot of players because if you don't move the flea caravan, it blocks the entrance to Bellhart. That change makes sense imo.

    As for Sister Splinter, I'm not sure why they nerfed her. I guess some players got overwhelmed by the spawned enemies in phase 2.

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 30 minutes and counting now

    Jump

  • It's been 2 hours since the game launched and I STILL can't check out. Not even steam sales had servers this busted!

  • What's your experience with Nim?

    Jump

  • I have looked into the nim GDExtension and it looks nifty. I haven't tried it yet though because it might not be totally ready, some github issues make it sound like it could be a pain to work with.

  • What the other person said. Cross compiling is as simple as adding a flag assuming you have the dependencies. I tried it and it works well (though my programs are pretty simple). See also the official docs on cross-compiling.

  • I don't get the hate for whitespace personally. It was maybe an issue 15 years ago, but modern code editors easily solve its issues. You can collapse whitespace blocks, the editor can automatically replace spaces with tabs, etc.

  • Okay, þ is not going to happen, just say th.

    Anyway, I did try V before Nim and found it way too unstable (which is corroborated by every other blog post talking about it). I also couldn't get the language server to work no matter what I did, it just fails to start which isn't a good first impression. This isn't even mentioning all the drama behind the scenes for this language.

  • What's your experience with Nim?

    Jump

  • Go would probably be my 2nd choice. I haven't used it much but my initial impression was that it felt kind of boring to write with, and a hello world would end up being a ~2mb binary which put me off a bit. I could give it another shot in the future, but I'm busy enjoying Nim so that probably won't be any time soon.

    Jump

  • The small binary part is just for fun - but generally my use case is to have an easy to use language that can cross compile easily so I can just pass binaries to the person I'm working with.

  • What problems does discord have?

  • thats why i love pc gaming, it just works

    Jump

  • Huh, I've done it a couple of times with no issue. Updated the above comment to remove that recommendation, then.

    Jump

  • There aren't any alternatives that are as good or feature-rich. If you're willing to settle for less there's Revolt that's trying to be a 1-to-1 clone but is still in alpha, then there are apps based on Matrix which somehow makes using a chat app 10x harder.

  • Yeah Discord has been wacky on Linux lately, they pushed maybe 4 different updates the past week that forced you to update the package immediately.

    Pro tip: Sync the package manager database before trying to update. It could tell you there are no updates when it's just pacman being out of date.

  • CachyOS August 2025 Release

    Jump

  • Performance should be relatively the same across every distro, there are benchmarks online you can check. I didn't like Bazzite with my short time using it though, being immutable means you have to jump through hoops to install something that isn't available as a flatpak. Like I mentioned in another comment the battery life was also not great, and I found it to be a little slow in general.

  • CachyOS August 2025 Release

    Jump

  • When I'm on battery I mainly use the browser. When I'm plugged in it's usually gaming.

  • CachyOS August 2025 Release

    Jump

  • Battery life is really good, on par with Windows on my current laptop. For some reason battery life was really bad on Bazzite, like 30% worse or so. I don't know how it compares to other distros.

  • CachyOS August 2025 Release

    Jump

  • I switched to Cachy 2 months ago and I think my distro hopping days are over. It's so, so responsive and reliable. People scared me off arch-based distros for being bleeding edge but so far it's been very stable, I haven't encountered any major issues.

    If you're thinking about switching, do it. Switched off from Bazzite and I'm not looking back.

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Date Trailer (September 4)

    Jump

  • Yes, it should work just fine. Use something like Lutris or Heroic Game Launcher.

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Date Trailer (September 4)

    Jump

  • I was in both communities at the time... Only the OGs will remember when the only thing we had to go off of Elden Ring was a random rumor that called it Great Rune.

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Date Trailer (September 4)

    Jump

  • It looks fantastic, I'm glad they took their time with it and didn't cave to release it early.

    Bloomberg also did an interview with the team which is a good read.
