That was the selling point behind this game “The Medium”. The copy was the most tone-deaf thing, gloating about its one-of-a-kind patented mechanic.
My first reaction, especially as an aspiring indie dev: “Well, I’m not touching that just on principle.”
Jerks.
I’ll always upvote well-placed Elder Scrolls trash talk, n’wah. Now gimme back my sweet roll, fetcher!
…Also yeah I should attempt to learn Vim again lol.
Yeah I honestly agree. Memories is a vast improvement, so much so that it should just be the default at this point. I went so far as to get a menu customizer addon to just remove Nextcloud Photos as an option. I feel like it puts off new users more then helps anything.
I’m glad there’s other options like the OP link, but I seriously enjoy Memories / Nextcloud for hosting it on my own hardware. Very little maintenance, has an app. Uploads from my phone whenever I plug it in to charge. Basically more than enough feature parity with Google photos that I could finally dump that mess. :)
Hang on there. Yes, NextCloud photos is kinda a dump, not gonna lie. Do not like.
But Nextcloud Memories is a labor of love, and it’s been freaking AWESOME. A little bit of Docker knowhow and the NextCloud AiO image is a great combo.
FOSS release of Windows when?
Can you imagine if that entire code got released tomorrow, without Microsoft selectively cleaning it up first?
I remember WinXP getting decompiled a while back and people thought it was pretty wild. Can you imagine Win8+?
Bet we’d find a few comments like
#Yes it's a massive security hole but don't ask questions. LOL
I think we’d still be shocked at how much data collection it does. And probably how “I don’t know why it works but don’t touch it.” The code is. (It was written by people, after all)
I’ve always felt a lot of Windows’ “dependability” is really just slick presentation and the mystique of a black box that sounds solid when you knock on it.
But what bothers me so much, as a non-career-coder and DIY-computing learner, is whenever a corporate product breaks, everything is obfuscated with nonsense that is only meant for a company engineer.
At least good FOSS tries to tell you exactly where the issue is.
If Windows went FOSS I bet it would get a lot of human-friendly fixes…and MS would get a lot of new scandals lol.
Does it get any holier than practicing combat against the forces of hell? Lol
I’m running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and finally completely dumped Win10 as it was BSODing itself apart during games anyway.
Constantly impressed with how many games “just work”, and not even just with Steam. Heroic for GoG stuff, Lutris, Bottles for classics I still got on disc…it’s awesome!
But you mentioned Windows Only VR and I got all excited…except I’ve got a Samsung Odyssey+ (WMR) and realized Monado is the only hope of it not being an expensive blackbox brick. :(
Thanks, I was about to suggest this too. Aegis is awesome. :) I can’t understand why most banks sms a code instead of using something like this. It’s insanity.
Do people also ask you if it’s Pingu or something from club penguin?
I also get asked if he’s like, a hockey team mascot or something. (I have a Tux patch on my hat haha)
I would say “… Definitely into a sandbox” except that might dry out the bread even more. :(
Do they at least have a fun shiny mid-2000’s GUI and sweet chiptunes??
WAIT IS THAT ORDER OF ECCLESIA BEING OFFICIALLY RESPECTED AND ACKNOWLEDGED?!?
This is awesome!
I loved that game so much. Shanoa is so cool, and that “plot twist boss fight” will always stand out as being so ridiculously cinematic for a sidescrolling DS game.
“I trained you! I raised you! You stupid disciple!!”
I should play the other one too. I bet it’s great. :D
Wouldn’t mind those sweet tunes coming back though.
We’ve come full circle to downloading and running things with titles like:
“BMWaReZ_UnSUSSer+HeetSeeter-v4.20.69.appimage”
I…I kinda unironically like the spirit behind this in a serious way.
I know things like safety codes and such would need a solution for sure, but a fixable kit car as a response to Tesla’s black-box-appliance-cars would be really freakin excellent right about now.
For real.
“Punish”? See how they react when they boot into TempleOS.
Oh, only Linux? There’s always Hannah Montana or North Korea Linux…but that’d be giving a foreign dictatorship a botnet node…
In which case I was gonna say “Well an NSA-friendly OS would be funny” but then we’re just back to Windows!
OMG I had a visit in elementary school from these guys! The school was a sad fundie kid-prison, but these guys were pretty neat. Rolled up a frying pan and did the blowing up a hot water bottle thing.
I find it so weird hearing about them again lol.
IDK, power to 'em. (Lol pun) Unlike a lot of nasty political preaching, I hope these guys are just being straight-edge motivators preaching the Gospel.
True that. Sure, I need to keep my non-professional home sysadmin skills sharp and enjoy getting good at these things, but I wouldn’t mind a better GUI journal reader / configurator thing. KDE has a halfway decent log viewer.
It might also go a long way towards helping the less sysadmin-for-fun-inclined types troubleshoot.
Maybe there is one and I just haven’t checked. XD
That’s sweet to hear somebody talking about a long-forgotten game like Gnomoria so fondly. I hope somehow that reaches a dev. :D
I have this one sitting in my library too, and it did make me sad that it’s forever unfinished. Didn’t know about that nasty Linux bug! Wish at that point, they would just open source it lol.
In the meantime I’ve really been enjoying Rimworld as a DF-like experience. :)
those who have obligations to the public.
I’m so glad I quit the library.
Man, I feel like I dodged a bullet with that one. My SNES and GameCube controllers still work. So do my Wiimotes. (Okay, my N64 joystick is slack as my deadbeat cousin’s work ethic but otherwise…!) Heck even my Wii U slate seems fine (although the battery worries me.)
Switchcons have been a bit of a QA nightmare for a majority of people I’ve heard from though. Cheap and creaky, the sticks getting all drifty. Blegh!
