Could you elaborate how the configuration might not be respected? Do you mean that you’ve often encountered applications that save files to hard-coded paths and do not even let you change the destination path?
If you ask me, that’s just bad software design. If the software is open-source, there is the option to request the developers to read the actual path of the respective well know directory from the XDG environment variables or allow configuration.
The user does decide, XDG user directories are optional and configurable. Since they are already established, user-friendly distros / desktop environments already pre-install them.
And what speaks against just using a new directory within your home directory as your “specific place that is user owned that isn’t filed with cruft and configuration files”?
They clearly meant the cumulative age when two of the four children are holding the controllers together (must be a new Gen Alpha & Beta activity). The youngest child is 2 years old, the twins are 3 years old and the big boss is already 5 years old. There is no other reasonable way to interpret this.
I hate them for downplaying the problems of their loot-boxes and for not willing to take any measure against it.
I do not hate them for taking a massive slice out of developers’ paychecks. A developer must make the choice whether the benefits of Steam are worth that slice or not.
And uh…I do not feel overwhelmingly happy, when a game on my wish-list is on sale. But I do not hate it…If people buy a game they didn’t want…out of fear of missing out on a sale…then, sorry, but they need to get their shit together and take active efforts to have more control over their money.
This might seem unusual, but some weird people out there hate corporations for what they actually do and not because hating corporations is their fashion statement.
Are you talking about “Tak and the Power of Juju”? I only know Tak as a boardgame from the Kingkiller Chronicle, which didn’t match your complaints :D
Except that this change doesn’t lock us into age verification at all. On its own it’s harmless. There are still steps ahead before it’s actually difficult to evade. And sure, we are heading that way and it only makes sense to be prepared for the steps towards the next steps of age verification laws. It really isn’t magic to comply with these small steps, as long as they themselves don’t present a treat, be aware of the bigger picture and still do the work to prevent the actual OS-level age verification.
Wow, I didn’t know that scrcpy offered so much more than screen mirroring. Finally I can dismiss Droidcam! ٩( ๑╹ ꇴ╹)۶
By the way, if your game descriptions, dev-logs and especially the game itself uses AI text generation, I’d also add that information.
Personally I don’t mind it for these conversations, if the reason is a language barrier. But if you are capable of basic English, I’d recommend to try writing everything by yourself and only use AI or simply a dictionary for specific words/expressions. Not only do you learn more this way, but you are also more in control of expressing yourself.
Thanks for adding that note to the description! Just for clarity: If somewhere in the future you are able to work with an artist, would you re-work the art for this game? And can we expect a Linux release?
Other than that, I had the wish for this kind of game for some time and I’m glad something like that exists now. Given the circumstances, I still don’t see myself in the target audience, but good luck on your journey!
Ugh…not gonna watch it anyway, but I hate it in general when a content creator with the stereotypical Linux user characteristics (nerdy, tech-savvy), but without the more important requirements (patient, willing to learn, adaptable) produces this kind of content.
From what I’ve seen, casual users didn’t have problems with the casual tasks in the terminal, but with some hot mess behavior of CachyOS, e.g. how the Python update was handled.
A little bit off-topic, but I don’t know if I’m too dumb to understand the survey results’ presentation or if there is something wrong.
Am I missing something? And does it even say anywhere how many people were asked and participated in the survey?
Let’s go, another chapter of letting a small amount of AAA games dictate our perception of video game prices.
Ahhh right. Seems like you can only apply the blur filter to the entire video.
You may want to look into Avidemux as it’s trying to be a simple video editor. But it may too basic and I’m not certain, if it will be intuitive to you.
I only used Window Movie Maker in the 2010s, maybe it used to be better before. But in my experience it was much more cumbersome. I think it was intuitive in the sense that it mostly worked like Microsoft (Office) software, but other than that it still did require some learning effort.
I want to avoid time-consuming games like Dota 2 or Crusader Kings 3…
Yes, vice versa even to a young bird like me 2018 was just yesterday and the acquisition by Microsoft feels even more recent.
OMORI is one of my favorite games, perhaps even my #1, in general.
It’s the curse of niche MMOs, the dream games of some people, that get shredded into disaster, because they don’t have enough players or they will mostly attract players who are clearly not the target audience.
