- Comment on Why did in game cameras take so long to get good?🤔 2 days ago:
I’ve recently been playing through God of War (2018), and one of my biggest complaints is how bad the camera and movement is.
I just finished playing this for the first time. I started with a controller, and moved to more and keyboard. It’s a lot better with a mouse.

- Comment on YSK that you can force Windows 10 to open your default browser instead of MS Edge with MSEdgeRedirect 2 weeks ago:
For me, Linux wasn’t viable as a daily driver until Valve made gaming work.
But now that they have, it’s great.
- Comment on Critical Docker Desktop flaw lets attackers hijack Windows hosts 3 weeks ago:
I run Rancher Desktop on Windows… But only because my company won’t let me use Linux, and I only use it for Dev and testing.
All that to say, I have no idea why else you would be running a container engine on a Windows host.

- Comment on Caves of Qud wins the Hugo Award for Best Game or Interactive Work 4 weeks ago:
I also think it’s a nice-looking game. The graphics help convey the setting really well, IMO. I really enjoyed it.

Graphical video games predate ASCII.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 5 weeks ago:
Hell, not even junior devs. I need to be able to come back to code months or years later and be able to figure it out. I can only remember so much.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 5 weeks ago:
No. Both are hard to maintain. And in fact, I’d prefer the spaghetti. It can be untangled.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 5 weeks ago:
If your code is as comprehensible as that run-on sentence, I can understand why coworkers would ask you to please write simpler code.

None are.

+1 for Ubiquiti, but I’d suggest one of the cheaper models with built in WiFi unless you plan on having an intricate network.

- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 2 months ago:
I adored the details they gave the characters in that game. I accidentally

got the good ending just because I wanted to see the story of each character
It also had such nice and natural-feeling LGBTQ characters.

You should never feel bad for turning difficulty down.

I have heard them called “knowledge-based games”. While not catchy, I think it’s accurate.
- Comment on Tunic is awesome and I wish more people talked about it 2 months ago:
I emailed Lifeformed back in 2020 to ask permission to use their music in a video and they were so nice.
The Dustforce soundtrack is so good, and the Tunic soundtrack does such an amazing job at elevating the game.

You’re taking about bringing a man of control and order into that den of chaos and goblinry? I don’t think Alec would enjoy it.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 3 months ago:
Denuvo is the only reason I’m waiting. I’m on Linux, and I’m not risking that Proton change license issue. And also I hate the performance hit that Denuvo causes.

They are probably scanning for the binary file executable.

The worst part about quadlets, IMO, is that they don’t use the same key words as podman run does. So turning a working podman container into a quadlet can be challenging.

And in this one, if you move the stick back and forth wrong, you can spin out.
It’s pretty janky, but you can get used to it.
