Urn urn’d urn urn

Streaming the game is never gonna be viable for me because of where I live, even if I wanted it, and I very much don’t. But then I don’t care for the kind of competitive games where what hardware you run on makes that much difference, anyway.

I don’t think we need “the best”. Just to be able to detect and ban the egregious offenders would be enough.

I will say we agree on one thing; competitive games should not be taken as seriously as they are. But then I’m of the controversial opinion that esports made gaming worse.

Client-side anti-cheat is effectively pointless in the long run. The software is running on a machine the devs do not control, and ultimately that means it cannot be trusted. They should be working harder on server-side detection, but that requires work not just buying a product and dusting your hands off…

What`s the censored one about?

KDE Plasma. I just like it. It seems to have options to do what I want, for the most part. There’s some things I wish it had, like a way to programmatically get the active window under Wayland, so StreamController could automatically change pages.

Yeah, I was all like “Wait, Telltale still exists?”

Knowing he won’t be around to see the result of his climate change denial does not make me happier :/

I know it’s tangential to your comment, but I need to get this off my chest. I hate when things like Epic’s stance is framed as “not supporting” linux, when in reality they barely need to do anything to let the game run there. What they’re doing is actively detecting and blocking it.

Using pipewire, and I’ve tried both the SB X4 USB DAC, and a SBX AE-5 PCIe card. Obviously being Creative products that’s the cause of my issues, but I have found it very very hard to find alternatives. Every recommended option just supports stereo, it seems.

I think the audio interface thing needs a big asterisk; IF you are only interested in stereo, then it’s not much of an issue. But getting 5.1 to work has been a huge hassle for me.

Supposedly, 666 being a bad number is a mistranslation, and the actual bad number is 616. This is according to an old episode of QI.

Or you could not believe in evil numbers.

Ahh, yeah that makes sense.

Gura’s partially retired?

If I get under 300ms ping it’s a good day.

I personally prefer like/dislike over a star rating system. Maybe, MAYBE having a middle “meh” rating would be helpful but at the end of the day you either recommend something or you don’t. If you ask a friend “should I play this?” and they say “idk man” that’s basically a recommendation to not play it.

There’s hope for me yet, then. Though I think FS have long since sailed from what I liked about Soulslikes into something else entirely.

Sekiro is not a soulslike, it’s Ninja Gaiden. :P

No, you`re right.

This looks like a python programmer that is mad they have to write C# Java…

I definitely agree on the lack of local / direct connection options.
