Mostly here to kill time. Big fan of open source game engine recreations/source ports, firmware modding, Linux, and gaming in general.
It doesn’t hurt to be cautious. Trusted sources have occasionally included malicious materials and blindsided users
That would be nice. If it got popular enough it might be a platform where you can assume someone is somewhat tech minded because they use it.
It could be a baseline for something in common.
Yeah like I said I wasn’t sure where to get information on orientation.
I’d be curious how those numbers overlap with average dating apps and match statistics.
I am not sure how reputable Zippia (or other sources) are when it comes to statistics but if accurate and similar 2022 the tech industry is still mostly men and caucasian.
I wasn’t able to find statistics on sexual orientation. There are a lot of companies vagluely bragging about how inclusive they are and not much in the way of stats.
With more and more people leaving mainstream sites like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook I could see not having to login with another social media platform being what drives people towards a privacy focused dating app even if the actual privacy portion is more of an after thought for most users.
Thanks for the tip on Drunken Slug registrations being open. Just signed up
I could be wrong but I think there are Lutris install scripts that help with that
One other website I’d check out if you are getting into any obscure/older games that might not have a lot of comments on ProtonDB is the PCGamingWiki. Lots of fixes are listed there
Have you heard of ProtonDB? It rates the current state of games and recommended fixes.
Gaming on Linux has improved a lot over the years. It’s typically only multiplayer games with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) that you’ll run into major issues with. Mod managers frequently require a fair amount of extra work and reading but I think a lot of Bethesda games have easy work arounds and documentation.
I used to run a Raspberry Pi 4 in the same case for months at a time and didn’t have issues. I’d say you are fine
They work just fine. You can either attempt to use the install script Lutris provides you and hope it gives you the option to supply your own files (this is primarily GOG games and source ports) or set up a new game from scratch by selecting the exe file of the installer and later changing it to the game.
You should check ProtonDB even if you aren’t using Proton to make sure there’s no additional fixes or edits that need to be applied.
If you need help or have questions let me know.
There are archived versions of re3 and reVC if you wanted to give it a try. I can’t say I’ve had any issues running the latest release.
Another classic. It’s a shame the client cannot run on Linux due to the lack of shared resources in DXVK.
From what I recall Doitsujin of DXVK seems to think it’s a ways away from getting fixed.
Are they inactive right now? I’m not sure if they went the way of re3 (a reverse engineered version of GTA 3 designed to fix bugs, port the game to several platforms, and expand modding capabilities) and were shut down under pressure from Rockstar.
Did you let it run for a bit and configure your browser? Mental Outlaw has a good setup video.
If it’s an issue with being unable to install i2p in the first place that’s a separate matter
Glad to hear it. Once you get some momentum going using Linux as your daily driver it gets a lot easier and smoother
Here is a Kotaku article titled Bootleggers Explain Why There’s So Much Video Game Piracy in China. It is from 2013 and I think there has been a size amount of legislation changes but it sounds like the grey market for video games was thriving thanks to console mods.
I could still see it existing today considering you do occasionally see someone selling drives full of pirated games. It might be a more local sneakernet style of system.
Good question though. I love hearing and learning about how piracy works in other countries.
Does it say anything specific?
You can check the emulation wiki and see which ones they recommend. I’m not sure which are available on F-Droid but most of them are available through a GitHub page
