All hail 2B's ass
  • Steam hasn't (afaik) revoked access from a game that someone already owns, and DRM on steam is entirely optional, even if you use the steamworks sdk. (source: I am a developer making a game using the steamworks sdk that can run without steam open or installed)

  • Getting very close to the GIMP 3.0 RC1!
  • You posted something that's bad practice (for many reasons, including security). Like, nobody cared about your software habits until you posted them publically with no prompting. probably so you could act smug after getting downvoted.

  • I'm thinking of building a PC - any advice?
  • Some build advice:

    • Be safe - don't wear socks, stand on a hard floor if possible, ground yourself if you have a wrist strap for that, and discharge any static by touching metal and/or the case before touching any components. And no matter what, DO NOT open the power supply, and definitely don't touch anything in it!
    • The huge motherboard connector probably requires more force than comfortable.
    • Watch through at least one build guide before starting. That way you know the process.

    Hope that helps, and don't let it scare you away - it's really fun to do and if you're careful, chances are nothing major will go wrong.

  • Is there anything I can do to fix this Caution status or should i get a new ssd?
  • Edit: just saw the other comment. Yeah this looks like a HDD. If so dismiss everything I said below.

    How long have you had that ssd? SSDs have a limited number of read/writes and you could be approaching the limit.

    It could still last a while though. Just keep backing up your stuff and if it starts acting slow or not working properly, you know its time to get a new drive.

  • What has the show been like recently?
  • Capaldi's era is definitely a bit more on the serious side. Jodie's era is unfortunately not very well made as you've probably heard, a lot of early episodes take themselves too seriously, and often try to make a point but completely miss the mark.

    You'll probably like the new season with Gatwa though, a lot of it is very campy (sometimes to a fault IMO), with some amazing more grounded episodes mixed in.

    You can mostly skip to the new season. The only thing you need to know is:

    Spoilers

    Galifrey is destroyed again by the master, who reveals that the doctor isn't a time lord, but an unknown species from another dimension that the time lords stole regeneration from.

  • Krillin
  • I like rice but kind of like how I like bread. It's carbs that you put with other stuff give it more substance. On its own it can be OK (since its carbs) but pretty bland.

  • Not trying to clickbait but is this the end for kernel-level anti-cheat?
  • Csgo and 2 have a "trust" system to keep track of player behavior and put you in games with others of similar trust value. So if you get reported often or have a history of bad behavior, you're more likely to be put in games with other bad actors, and vice versa. Idk how effective it is though.

    Honestly there isn't a great solution, which is kind of why I avoid competitive multiplayer games. Even kernel level anticheats can be circumvented.

    The nice thing about vac is that theres pretty much no false positives. And valve will occasionally update it, catching a ton of cheaters off guard and getting them banned.

  • Dev snapshot: Godot 4.4 dev 2
  • Gdscript let's you do static typing, so "var a : int" ensures that a is an integer. This can help prevent bugs and bad code, and even speeds up the interpreter since it can make some assumptions.

    So until now, you couldn't do that with dictionaries, they always allowed any type as a key or value. This adds that functionality so dictionaries can be used with stricter rules, preventing bugs and making them faster.

  • They Beyond (Year Unknown) (OC)

    let me know if this isn't allowed, but I'm making a game, and also the music in it, and figured I'd share here. lmk if it's good.

    Advice for a newbie - Multiple drives setup
  • It depends on how you install stuff. Games on Steam or downloaded from online from places like itch.io can be put on any drive without issue.

    In terms of software though, native packages (deb, rpm) are gonna want to put files in various system folders, so it's pretty much impossible to get those off your os drive.

    Other packaging solutions can help with this though. Appimages can be put anywhere, nix let's you install to another drive, same with flatpak.

    And if you're savvy, you could use docker to install system packages on other drives, although I wouldn't recommend it.

  • Autocorrect Rule
  • Women are you allowed to resubmit games if they've been in development kit and you both seem to be on it was the way to save data by teleporting electrons into an image

  • History repeats itself...

    I remember the hlvr leaks...

    Switch pro controller no longer works in linux mint 22

    I've used my switch pro a lot for games on my pc, but after updating to 22 it no longer works, and I have no clue why. It connects and shows the player count lights, but no blue light and no controller detected by any software. lsusb shows the device and udemadm monitor shows a bunch of changes.

    Sometimes I can get it to connect by connecting with bluetooth, then quickly plugging it in, which makes me think that it's an issue with udev rules? It won't connect with bluetooth alone though.

    Is anyone else experiencing this or have an idea on how to solve it?

    EDIT: FIXED! The issue was that I had joycond installed at one point, and the upgrade removed it (since its not needed since the kernel has support now). I just went in /lib/udev/rules.d and deleted any files with joycond in the name (there were 2).

    Developing a game on Linux with no budget and (mostly) FOSS tools.

    store.steampowered.com Year Unknown on Steam

    A story-based exploration game about the very far future. With the help of two Artificial Intelligences, explore a universe conquered by humanity, uncover your purpose in it, and try to stop it from falling apart.

    Year Unknown on Steam

    (tldr, open source software has come a long way, and it's more than possible to create a full game without leaving Linux.)

    So I've been a full Linux user for a couple years now, and a hobbyist game dev for way longer. I've always tried to make the most out of free tools, so I've used a lot of FOSS tools for game development before.

    Going with that philosophy, Year Unknown's development has cost $0 (not counting store fees or my time), and the development is done with almost entirely FOSS software like Godot, Blender, GIMP, and Audacity. The only exception is Reaper, which is my DAW of choice (but to be fair, it's a really good DAW).

    The game itself is a narrative-driven exploration game set in the very far future, where humanity has found a way to make the universe last forever. The game's story covers a lot of existential issues that come from the premise, revealed through two characters you can talk to through terminals.

    I know there's other developers who have done the same, but I thought I'd share my experience, and I can answer questions about the workflow if you're curious, or trying to do something similar. Also, if the game seems interesting to you, a wishlist would be very appreciated!

    Bad Apple but it's made of browser checkmarks and is also in Godot.

    An interesting project I quickly threw together after finding out that Godot can call javascript's "eval" function. You can really do anything with this engine.

    It really seems like satire, but based off the guy's profile and normal posts I don't think it is.

    Help! Random 1-2 second freezes

    EDIT: The solution was that it was freesync. Turned it off on my monitor, and that fixed it.

    I recently picked up a used RX 6600xt, and ever since the screen will occasionally freeze for 1-2 seconds before returning to normal. As far as I can tell, input and sound work as normal during these. There's no real pattern either.

    I'm on Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, on the 6.5 kernel (there was a sleep related issue for me in the default kernel version). Since getting the GPU, I've replaced the CPU and motherboard.

    Any guesses as to what this might be, or where to look? I tried checking mint's logs app and there didn't seem to be anything associated with it.

    WebCord now has seamless audio share for Discord.

    WebCord is an "alternative client" for Discord, although it's just running the Discord webpage in electron. Recently it updated its electron version so it supports sharing audio as well as video.

    I tried it out today on mint (x11, pulseaudio) and it works flawlessly.

    Average DS9 Episode

    In today's episode, commander Sisko grapples with the effects of the war and how far his morality can be stretched in the name of the greater good. Meanwhile, O'Brien has a winning streak at darts.

    Peertube @lemmy.ml Julian @lemm.ee

    Instance recommendations?

    Sorry if this is asked a lot but I'm looking for a peertube instance to mirror my youtube videos to.

    I upload a mix of videos about games, dev logs, music, and occasional random stuff I made (including ytps). So a general purpose instance with longevity would be ideal. Thanks!

    What's the opinion on Trial of a Time Lord?

    Just for fun I started watching it to see what it even is, and so far it's pretty fun! Colin Baker's doctor is a lot of fun, it's interesting to see a doctor who (hehe) is a bit more full of themselves.

    From what I gather though, people at the time really didn't like it, but that could have just been because of Colin Baker. Now that general opinion of Colin Baker is much better and we can revisit those episodes without as much bias, I'm interested in what the general verdict on this season is. Do people still hate it? Is it a cult classic? Do people just think it's meh?
