Bro, homie, dawg, phil

Phil and Phil (both whirling angrily to acknowledge you): “WHAT?!”

GOT 'EM!

Hehe I remember Muphies. That Kermit always got up to shenanigans!

Whaaat that’s crazy interesting! Thanks for replying!

I know there’s been a lot of progress made with Monado on these units but the controllers are still no-go from my understanding. Is he using the controllers or just the HMD? :O

I might just have to spend a weekend figuring out how to build Monado hahaha.

After that huge “Salt Typhoon” hack against major telecoms, you’d think people would take “security nightmare” a little more seriously!

Truth is though, your average Valorant/League/Whatever player probably isn’t even aware of it running when they smash through ok -> ok -> agree -> yep -> accept -> accept -> ok -> play.

Any kernel-level anything connected to major corporate servers should be scary and taboo, but except for the alarm-raisers who know what they’re talking about, most people don’t even understand the implications.

I’m glad Steam is at least marking a big “This game requires kernel level anti cheat” on store pages now. It looks ugly, possibly scary, so maybe that’ll raise some awareness and make developers not want to go with it.

“Cant have those TenCent CCP botnets sniffing the same customers WE’RE sniffing! Get outta here!”

–M$, prolly lol

Out of sheer curiosity is he using a fancy Steam VR kit like an HTC Vive or something?

I’ve fully switched over to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed at this point but I’m so bummed out my Samsung Odyssey is relying on heroic support from Monaco dev(s?) to even have a hope of it running.

But Windows is killing WMR too and they don’t care, so OS really isn’t an issue here. I’m keeping my Win10 partition there getting dusty though, because it still has WMR on it. =\

Man that’s sad, because I was considering it just because it had a stronger “Network Effect” than Mastodon.

That FOMO is pretty real though. These multiplayer service games are a flash in the pan sometimes, where once their heyday is over, they become “Hey remember that old game?” and there might be some reverse-engineered private servers running from like, Lithuania, with 4 people online after that lol.

I feel this pretty hard with Helldivers 2. I had a BLAST with the first game! Loved it! And apparently this one is good too!

But Sony is determined to be Sony, and it’s got kernel-level requirements, so nope, I’m missing out. It does suck, because before all the drama I really looked forward to it. It genuinely looks fun. I see my friends playing it. Oh well.

Watching Arcane made me almost wanna fire up League of Legends again, but once they announced their anti-cheat, I quit forever. (Probably for the best, let’s be honest lol.)

So yeah with an OS, I think people feel like some killer app will come out and if they’re not running a system it was tailor-made for, they’ll miss out on it entirely.

For all my disc games or other just standalone .EXE stuff, Bottles has been nothing short of mind-blowing.

I’d say the Flatpak might be your best bet if you’re on a rolling distro.

My only other tip is to make sure you set your Bottles directory to wherever your storage partition is, as it’d probably fill up your /home by default pretty quick!

If I recall Intel’s GPUs are a little slimmer right? But I’ve heard middling results with compatibility and such.

The Steam controller 2 will be releasing soon

I think I’ve just been avoiding news in general for a while. This is GREAT to hear! I still love my OG Steam Controller. Great little piece of hardware.

They will likely be very upset by how the outcomes actually affect them… And then blame those (unimaginative schoolyard insult) dEmOcRaT lEfTiSt LiBeRaLS for things like getting abused by their bosses even more, past the point where it turned them on. =\

Lol the first 99 are just the lyrics to “God bless the U.S.A” over and over and over and over…

That’s the scary thing about “banning” on an international scale…Somewhere, somebody’s gonna do it, and a fair number of countries are still run by madmen who can’t (and/or just won’t) feed their own people but think enriching uranium is priority 1.

It’s an ugly reality.

I prefer to think of it as a colosseum. :D

Hey that’s very kind of you. Thanks! :)

Sometimes a topic hits me and I end up using Lemmy as a writing prompt haha. I’m glad if it resonates with people though. One day I’ll start a blog even if people don’t really bother with those much anymore. :p

Hope you’re having a fantastic one!

It’s worth a lot to investors but not a lot to society.

Man, why does this seem to be where ALL the money is at anymore? =\

“In a negotiation about wearing black vs. brown shoes, compromise is wearing two different colored shoes. Nobody gets what they want and one of you ends up looking like an idiot.”

This is the most hilariously written PSA against the whole “cats and a saucer of milk” trope holy crap LOL.

I don’t know where that nonsense started but it’s definitely not beneficial to the
