Obligatory “read the article” etc. These unofficial patches get flak because some of them include “features” that are the modders preference. The point of unofficial patches is to fix bugs/glitches while remaining essentially vanilla or at least that’s why people want them. Worth noting that mod devs have been grilled for it before.

572.xx absolutely killed reforger for a good amount of people in our discord. Ending up briefly killing attendance too which was annoying.

Neat! I didn’t see that, I’ll give them a read.

It’s like OSHA laws. Every rule for these programs has a great misfortune behind it.

A very succinct way of phrasing it. Cheers for that and for posting the studies.

Hell yeah, thanks a lot for taking the time to spoon feed my ignorant butt. Very informative reply, thank you. I guess a reply would be “that can be done without DEI” but then that just circles back to your no one is colourblind remark. If google wasn’t diverse organically without DEI, I don’t have much optimism other corporations would be.

I guess I was hoping for something a bit more rigorous but still your reply makes sense. Thanks for the input.

As much as I don’t care for DEI as a guiding “doctrine” for hiring, I also think companies shouldn’t be anti-diversity by law. Like intentionally hiring people because they aren’t white, no (and feels like tokenism/racism) but also intentionally hiring only whites (or the majority race) is a bigger no. Especially if more qualified candidates are being passed over solely because they’re PoC. Also companies should be inclusive so as to not be shit companies in general? Can someone tell me if/why my take is dumb or poorly thought out?

Agreed. I was surprised at how bad it was, which was a bummer for two reasons. Firstly, it was a pretty enjoyable game at times especially with mates. Secondly, there were plenty of players that went out of their way to counter it and be decent but sadly they were the minority.

It’s nothing to do with W/L it’s because it fucks your team mates (and essentially everyone else, who now are devoid of a proper match) in RL. One of the many reasons I never stuck by RL was other players. People would so frequently just trash talk you when you’re learning and then fuck off out of the match, leaving you to get rolled by two players. These players would frequently be worse too. At least if you get rolled with a full team, you’ll probably learn something.

RL and games with low team player counts I 100% understand it for. It’s a punishment for selfish players. In a match with bots less so but I guess if you’re doing bad enough to be matched with bots they probably want to to stay and learn to play.

Man I bought one of those windows phones, the Lumia 920 and boy did it suck. Had bugger all apps. I feel like I had it for nearly a year before I got sick of it. YouTube app was constantly borked and would crash frequently. The fb app once they got it going just felt like a shitty web app disguised as an app. And that was it, like they just released the phone OS and the Lumia series and just hoped devs would come across to the platform. One of the few times I tried to get off iOS and boy did it burn me hard. Hey at least the screen was strong enough to hammer in nails. So free hammer?

Yeah it’s from a video where he was back seating on some voice actors doing announcement and he’s doing odd things background for comedic effect.

Having been waiting what feels like forever for stalker 2; I would be happy if it gets it. I know there still work to do but fuck if I am not having a blast playing it. Dwarf fortress would be a nice one too even if its been around for nearly 2 decades.

Damn I think I played 2019 and still the first couple minutes were near unrecognisable. I mean make your money but boy, what a stark contrast.

Also as much as it isn’t for me, the cell shaded bit looks awesome as does just yeeting enemies into the stratosphere.

Nah that’s a great point and you’re right. I think some minor gameplay element had to be tweaked (like auto stacking containers optimally I think). Dunkeys first video was taking the piss out of it but quickly after released a video praising it.

Why does this sounds like a bad thing. I never had PS so I missed a lot of his earlier stuff but death stranding was phenomenal; as was phantoms. Sure the strong narrative elements, actor mocap and music feels very cinematic but there’s still a lot of innovative gameplay around it. Feel like is a positive quality; not one that he has to state isn’t his intention.

I almost struggle to believe that Japanese gamers aren’t down with modding. Nintendo fans maybe. As aside where are all the Japanese posters to be like “wtf is this guy on about”. Every other day I get to giggle at German memes I don’t even understand; but I only see Japanese comments on stuff like YouTube. Maybe they got weirded out by English speakers since the days of image boards, which is fair enough tbh.

Hell yeah, good luck with the launch!

Ideally a Bluetooth dongle/maybe a speaker. Looks like an old problem from a quick google. So there we go don’t need VMs!

I have seen Nix come up quite a bit and have been tempted to try it. I’ve rolled with Arch before so I was considering going back to it but maybe something new be go.

The OS itself I don’t back up outside of mirroring. I run an immutable OS (every reboot is like a fresh install). I can redeploy from git so no need to backup. I have some persistent BTRFS volumes mounted where logs, caches, and state go. Don’t backup, but I swap the volume every boot and keep the last 30 days of volumes or a min of at least 10 for debugging.

Something like this has always interested me. I remember reading about doing similar with Windows. Not so much it being immutable so much as having a decent starting image that you load on any device you want with all your programs ready to go.

Runs Arrs, Jellyfin, Monero node, Tor entry node, wireguard VPN (to get into network from remote), I2C, Mullvad VPN (default), Proton VPN (torrents with port forwarding use this), DNS (forced over VPN using DoT), PiHole in front of that, three of my WiFi vlans route through either Mulvad, I2C, or Tor. I’ll use TailsOS for anything sensitive. WiFi is just to get to I2C or Onion sites where I’m not worried about my device possibly leaking identity.

Do you have a guide or ten you used for all this perchance? Unraid has stuff like trashguides and space invader one. Especially the DNS part onwards? If not it’s cool I have Mullvad set up and Pihole with my current setup so I’ll be able to work it out. This is all very compelling for me to try out (I should really have learned about wireguard by now). Thanks a lot for such an interesting and informative write up!

Arch btw

Like I needed even more temptation. Cheers for confirming my suspicion that rolling a Linux distro is likely the go. I don’t really need a VM, just hassio doesn’t (didn’t?) have pass through without it.
