@Plume Oh yeah and this: Start the game in a neutral area or room where you can test the controls and sound are working properly and ensure the performance is right BEFORE the intro cutscene plays.

@Plume The Witness has no menu and no savegames. When you boot it up, you’re instantly exactly where you left off.

This doesn’t work for all games, but I wish more games would do it like that.

@AnonStoleMyPants @tal And being able to pause a cutscene (That includes putting the system to sleep now!)

@PuppyOSAndCoffee Probably nothing for a N900 but I’ve heard so much of it. I really should give it a try. How does Enlightenment run with older hardware? I’m talking 8-10 years old.

@MonkderZweite Well, a window manager is for managing windows, right? So, having it also provide a list of windows to click on is resonable, in my opinion.

I should’ve added that I’m planning to run it on a Nokia N900 with 600 MHz and 256 MB RAM, both #XFCE and #LXDE are way too heavy for it. Also, most of their menus don’t fit on the 800×480 pixel screen.

Honestly, that’s all I want but stripped down so it can run on a system with 256 MB RAM.

I haven’t looked too deep into what’s possible with the config files of i3 or awesome. Maybe I should do that first. I just assumed they would be too keyboard focused. I want everything to be visible on screen, so you don’t have to remember hotkeys.

@douglasg14b @fwygon I love Kagi. For technical topics, the search quality is unparalleled. For everything else it’s about the same.

@aksdb @neon_arch Oh yes! I used SearXNG and it was quite slow.

@Lojcs You think so? It must do something on the hardware level. If you install something like @postmarketos and let the deivce just sit doing nothing with its screen off, the battery doesn’t last nearly as long as with Android. There must be some trickery going on…

@pjhenry1216 @MyUnclesSecret Not quite. A gas stove requires gas. I can run it from canisters if I want to. In fact, I know someone who does.

@zachimusprime44 Am I the only one not seeing any image here?

Update: Most issues were fixed through updates, I guess we just wanted to play in a really unfortunate time.

The locking up problem is related to a DLL mismatch when attempting #Windows / #Linux crossplay. In short: Copy your Windows friends’ ucrtbase.dll from both the System32 and the SysWOW64 folders to your Windows folder in #Steam’s compatdata folder and you’re good to go!

We had a great time playing last night.

@jackpot You add every device to every other device and they connect directly to each other. If direct connection isn’t possible (1 out of 10 times) then a relay server is used. The relays are provided by the community for free (I am running one).

@jackpot @interdimensionalmeme Syncthing does not require a server and is much easier to set up from a user perspective.

@sambeastie @OwlPaste What kind of problems did you run into?

@klangcola tfw your laptop is more powerful than your desktop. But I’m glad it worked out for you!

Thank you for all the suggestion everyone, I found out that the #OpenSource https://tasks.org app that I already use supports this feature!

@android@lemmy.ml @android@lemmy.world @fdroid @android@a.gup.pe

@CaptainLemmit Thank you for the suggestion. It says it has In-App purchases, is there a subscription?

@Nicodemus_Weal I watch a lot of videos and I play a lot of older/ported games, both are best enjoyed in 16:9.
