Do you mean being dependent on people having “done it in nix before” so you can copy it? Definitely true to some extent. The language takes a bit of getting used to. Haven’t watched the video so idk context, but if using docker on nix there’s a great tool called compose2nix that converts compose files for docker or podman into declarative nix files. That took a lot of the challenge away for me personally.
I would say with all of these recommendations, you can probably look to find an AM4 motherboard and user ddr4 instead of ddr5 ram secondhand. If you play heavily modded Minecraft, ddr4 ram will be much more affordable to opt for 64 GB if you want to allocate 20-30gb and keep a lot free still. AM4 motherboards cover a large range of CPUs up to ryzen 5xxx I think. there’s a lot of room for upgrades if you can only find one of the older CPUs. I jumped from a 2700x to a 3900x recently and it’s been great
Edit: only just read your future proof comment. Older parts may not be the way to go then, since you’re restricting upgrades to things which already exist Edit again: I thought about it some more and I think this tier of parts is actually future proof, in that it should do the things you said you’re interested in doing into the foreseeable future
Why not? People are generally always online these days and there is a lot of music out there, plenty to fill a phone many times over. Granted you might only have a few hours worth of tracks at any time but there is obviously at least one person (OP) who doesn’t.
Not to mention the way they manage their library sounds incredibly desktop oriented. This removes the need to plugin the phone.
And then like Plex/jellyfin, or audiobookshelf, sounds like this let’s you have a shared library across devices or people, even better!
That’s interesting that you thought split fiction was harder than it takes two. My partner and I thought the opposite, since split fiction seems to let you get away with skipping a lot of things when one of you is dying (i.e. checkpoint reached by one player counts for both of you). In saying that my other theory is my partner has actually gotten better at games since we played it takes two.
Can I please query the win10/11 because it’s a shared console? What about it being a) shared or b) a console makes win 10/11 a requirement?
A consistent console-ish experience with pc-like access to games is more a case for Bazzite or steamos than a case for windows.
It’s a joke reference to sellers who will list items for very cheap, but with very high postage costs, to try to trick people into viewing their product more favourably. Nothing actually wrong in this instance.
Audiobookshelf supports EPUB files and other ebook formats. You can put them alongside audiobooks (offering a UI option to either read or listen) or use purely ebooks although obviously a little overkill if you aren’t using the audio features at all
Jusant is cool. Deck runs kinda loud but the gameplay is very enjoyable on controller.
I’ve gotten a CalDAV server, audiobookshelf, and selfhosted obsidian live sync running on my laptop while I wait for movers to bring my shit to my house. Then gotta migrate it all across to my mini PC afterwards. Doing a modular NixOS setup to replace/complement what I used to have running on proxmox.
Once everything is on a dedicated machine I’m going to make a nice little homepage for it, inspired by a previous thread here.
Oblivion was released on consoles and had great controller layouts. I played it for years on PS3. Not sure if Morrowind has a similar experience.
I mean, it still helps right? It limits your losses to X weeks instead of X months or, I hate to say it, X years.
Future cosmetics will also be available in both games. Not sure about past ones. They’re doing a fantastic job, and hopefully that continues.
It’s a personal computer. Being in a different form factor does not change that.
When you pay for enterprise equipment, you are typically paying a premium for longer, more robust support. Consumer products are less expensive because they don’t get this support.
Your point is basically the same but I believe he isn’t technically a one man dev anymore. For a while, he has worked in a small team, with a few games released/in EA on Steam having been created by former SV devs on the same engine with ConcernedApe’s permission.
I assume he also outsources the work of the console ports.
In any case, it doesn’t take away from the point, and you could probably still classify him as a solo developer for the purpose of talking about his upcoming Willy Wonka simulator. It’s much easier to pay 4-5 people from the proceeds of one of the best selling indie games of all time than it is to pay 40-50 people from the proceeds of a 10 year old game with free updates and expansions. No Man’s Sky, for example, must have some really consistent sales figures for them to continue to be making money.
This comment is amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to lay it out for me. My weekend might be ruined by Minecraft on deck now!!
I tried to start playing mc on the deck but I don’t really understand how to make changes to the controller setup. I’ll have to sit down and read it properly and try again next time I get the urge.
That’s a great point of reference for me. I want to upgrade from my 2080 to an AMD card for my gaming rig and I’m torn between saving up for X months and splurging on a 7800xt, or looking for a hot deal. Looking at benchmarks it would take a really good deal on either the 7600xt or 6700xt to drop that far down the line, given the effort of selling my current card. When I can get significantly better improvements for a 1-200 dollar difference if I just wait, it just doesn’t feel worthwhile.
This is a great specific response based on the principle in my comment. Thank you for taking the time for OP and others. I feel like the Vega iGPU on the ryzen 5xxx is meant to be pretty good too right?
