@Plume Oh yeah and this: Start the game in a neutral area or room where you can test the controls and sound are working properly and ensure the performance is right BEFORE the intro cutscene plays.

@Plume The Witness has no menu and no savegames. When you boot it up, you’re instantly exactly where you left off.

This doesn’t work for all games, but I wish more games would do it like that.

@AnonStoleMyPants @tal And being able to pause a cutscene (That includes putting the system to sleep now!)

@DerpyPlayz18 They are not instant. I also don’t feel comfortable giving my biometric data to some shady company just so I can unlock my phone.

@ijeff I’m never going to use passkeys because they require to have a lockscreen on the device, and I don’t have one.

You might think “Isn’t that kinda dangerous?”

And I say: My devices are never left unattended, so a lockscreen is just an obstacle to get back where I was. Honestly, try disabling your lockscreen. The fact that you can press one button and be right where you left off is priceless.

So, screw passkeys and their stupid rules.

@PuppyOSAndCoffee Probably nothing for a N900 but I’ve heard so much of it. I really should give it a try. How does Enlightenment run with older hardware? I’m talking 8-10 years old.

@Sentientted @CookieJarObserver The only gripe I have with the Pixel (4a in my case) is that the file system is so locked down, but that’s just a modern Android thing. I wish I was able to change the default search engine but eh, can’t complain.

I don’t have a Pinephone personally, but #postmarketOS has come a long way and supposedly runs very well on recent hardware. Give it another 1-2 years and it will be rock solid for daily use.

@MonkderZweite Well, a window manager is for managing windows, right? So, having it also provide a list of windows to click on is resonable, in my opinion.

I should’ve added that I’m planning to run it on a Nokia N900 with 600 MHz and 256 MB RAM, both #XFCE and #LXDE are way too heavy for it. Also, most of their menus don’t fit on the 800×480 pixel screen.

Honestly, that’s all I want but stripped down so it can run on a system with 256 MB RAM.

@mvirts @chinstrap

I haven’t looked too deep into what’s possible with the config files of i3 or awesome. Maybe I should do that first. I just assumed they would be too keyboard focused. I want everything to be visible on screen, so you don’t have to remember hotkeys.

@douglasg14b @fwygon I love Kagi. For technical topics, the search quality is unparalleled. For everything else it’s about the same.

Update: Most issues were fixed through updates, I guess we just wanted to play in a really unfortunate time.

The locking up problem is related to a DLL mismatch when attempting #Windows/#Linux crossplay. In short: Copy your Windows friends’ ucrtbase.dll from both the System32 and the SysWOW64 folders to your Windows folder in #Steam’s compatdata folder and you’re good to go!

We had a great time playing last night.

@jackpot You add every device to every other device and they connect directly to each other. If direct connection isn’t possible (1 out of 10 times) then a relay server is used. The relays are provided by the community for free (I am running one).

@jackpot @interdimensionalmeme Syncthing does not require a server and is much easier to set up from a user perspective.

@Coeus @Lycan I also just noticed that images from federated (non Lemmy) comments are ignored. This is probably also related to the older version.

@Kaldo @sdx Even though #Valve is maintaining #Proton, which is based on #Wine, I think projects like #DXVK and #GalliumNine would not exist or have come this far if it weren’t for Valve.

I think Valve’s contribution to the #Linux world is very indirect, but cannot be denied.

@VoxAdActa AntennaPod. I’ve been using it for years now. Instantly works and has exactly the features you need. No ads, no bullshit.

@alyaza Is it really that hard to dial 🇪🇺 112, 🇺🇸 911, 🇦🇺 000, or whatever the number in your country is?

There may be lots of problems with emergencies all over the world, but dialing the actual number isn’t one of them.

@TheYang @steb They want to use an open protocol? That’s great.
But then they should be open about their intentions, and not send invitations to a few select individuals to a confidential “off the record” “roundtable”. This seems just too fishy to me.

I agree with you, and I appreciate that Facebook at least tries to reach out, but after all that happened I also understand that there is a certain aversion against Facebook.

@lemon @webghost0101 You can even achieve that with just #Wine. I carefully set up my Wine on my two devices with #DXVK on one and #GalliumNine on the other. Took a while, to be honest.

But now, together with wine-binfmt and icoutils, I can just double-click any #Windows game. 🍷
