Because the ones that we hear about are the ones that are good enough to have even made it out of Japan. If a game was bad, it wouldn’t be localized to an English-speaking audience, and we wouldn’t even know it exists.

It’s the same sort of thinking as asking why (insert media here) was better in the past. The answer is simple - good songs, games, movies, etc. tend to be more memorable, and so we remember the good ones and forget the bad ones. To put it briefly, there’s survivorship bias.

Braid. Sounds like a dress up game but it’s a puzzle platformers about time travel. I always have to explain it every time I talk about it

Regardless of the reason, the end result is still the same, which is that new users are left with the idea that terminal is essential for using Linux.

You can say that you set up a distro without using terminal all you want, but as long as new users don’t know how to do that, my point still stands. Frankly, the fact that you even thought to bring up that point feels like, to me, extra proof that experienced users are highly dismissive of the new user experience.

I mainly play indie titles, but actually zero times so far. Steam really does everything for you nowadays

As a recent Linux user, I can say that he’s got a point, but he’s making the wrong point. What I’ve learned is that technically, you don’t have to use terminal. But as a new user, you’re never made aware that there are non-terminals options. Every time you try installing a program or really doing anything, the first response on any article or forum is generally going to be to open up terminal and start typing. Linux is in a weird spot because the are so many desktop environments that the only way to make a tutorial that works on all distributions is to tell the user to use terminal. Yet by doing so, you are pushing away new users who will begin to think that Linux is too technical for normal use.

I see many experienced users dismiss new users’ concerns because “you don’t actually need terminal,” but I don’t think these people really understand that while that’s technically true, the new user experience has been constant tutorials and articles that basically state the exact opposite. I’m not sure what a good solution would be, but I do think that experienced users need to acknowledge that just because new users identify an incorrect problem, doesn’t mean that there isn’t a problem at all

I’m unsure what the game is supposed to be - is it just a collection of different versions of Tetris?

I would like one too, if possible. Thanks ahead

Strange, I seem to remember a 3rd GPU manufacturer, who competes with Nvidia and is significantly more entrenched in the GPU market space than Intel… I wonder what that could be…

It doesn’t run well on the steam deck, but I generally am able to get 40-50 fps. I capped GPU clock to 1200 MHz, and that seems to help a bit

Level1Tech did mention your exact issue as one of the common symptoms that would occur on degraded 13th/14th gen parts. It’s looking like it’s the CPU’s error, not the SSD

Not sure if you saw Level1Tech’s recent video on the topic, but he speculated that it could be the area connecting the cache to the cores, as that was apparently changed to accommodate for more cores in the 13th/14th gen parts. The change was speculated to have made the connection weaker and more prone to degradation, especially when the connection was expected to communicate with a lot of cores (hence why this occurs mainly on high core count parts)

I can kinda see both ways. I think both systems aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive - I think the old system works more intuitively for pipes with low volumes of fluid, and the new system works more intuitively for pipes that are full or near full.

I hope that the developers can mix the two systems, so that pipes function with the old system when pipes are empty or near empty, and it switches to the new system when pipes are full or near full

Physics-based combat? This feels very immersive-sims-y

I’m looking forward to it

Extremely disappointed. They had some very passionate people on the project and I was hoping that they’ll turn things around over the next several years.

Can’t say I’m for the idea of modding (I’ve done my time, and it was not worth the time and work), but I can’t say that I’m necessarily against it either. Feels like a debt I owe to the Lemmy community, somehow.

Anyways, if nobody else is willing, I might consider being a mod

Virgin embarrassed H-game enthusiast:

“Haha they’re just jokes bro”

Chad owns-up-to-it H-game enjoyer:

“Yes, I do have 137 hentai games, what about it?”

Same thoughts. Mainly because it’s such a pain to explain how the library access system works in the previous family share.

Not entirely true - OLED has a not-insignificant performance improvement, and has much better battery life

Yes, I’ve tried it and it works fine. I should point out though that if you plan to do that, you might as well buy a USB splitter and then use wired.

The complete lack of a period makes your comment really hard to understand
