  As a recent refugee from W10, I agree. Not shitting on Lutris since it did kind of worked, so it might have been a matter of playing with some settings, but heroic just worked.

  Lutris on a fresh bazzite install: install GOG launcher and sign in. Crappy launcher to install the game (same as windows). Install Witcher 3, start playing. Find out the installer never reported success. Next time it launches it throws an error because the game was not installed. Default is to not cache the installer files. Multi-GB download starts again.

  Heroic on the same setup (after the above): sign in to GOG. Get black and white icons for all games in the platform. Double click or right click (can’t remember which) to install. Game installs and the icon is in color now. Double click, it starts and works.

  That’s fair, but as someone that has not played the game, you need to provide some specifics otherwise it just gets lost within a lot of praise for the game (which I’m not sure I will like).

  The impressive part is that they are also known for being reliable, there are the occasional issues, but overall very trustworthy products.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the real difference between a shell script and Ansible (and which should I use)?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Great summary “a lot of common error checking has gone into it. It can be told what you want without specifics that would only potentially be applicable to 1 system type.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEGO Party! Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand that’s the purpose of a party game, but the mini games I saw were literally chose a thing and it will explode or it will not, no fun involved after you experience it once. Not even like a blue shell that still needs you to move forward.

  Also there was a game that made you chose a 1 or 2 and once you got to a few players, it was impossible to win regardless if you got left with the option before the bee hive. At least make the dice spin faster when less players are around to make it feel random but fair (even if it isn’t).

  There is a point where things move from fun and chaotic to completely random and less replayable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEGO Party! Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A chance to be a much better Mario party if there is less RNG.

  Saw a stream of some people playing Mario party superstars from a year ago and it looked very unfair/RNG based to the point of being boring.

  Also we don’t pay taxes but will fuck up the roads with the extra weight. Good luck driving over potholes suckers!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Study Fascism at Yale. We’re Leaving the U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, I looked into that website earlier in the year u think. Even for “high demand” jobs in the US like tech, it’s not easy to get into Canada.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Out of curiosity as an owner of a QNAP NAS, how did it go out? Any signs it was in its last legs? Now that I’ve used one, the form factor is the only thing better than most options out there when I got it.

  Nowadays all QNAP, Sinology and other NAS vendors supposedly offer a lot of extra value with their cloud options, but I find them a sure way to get hacked based on the average company’s investment in security (I work in IT, it is a sad affair sometimes) combined with all the ransomware specifically targeting them due to old packages they rely on = I’ll build my next system from the ground up, even if the initial cost is higher and the result is uglier.

  They did in 2020, no Biden or Kamala cult shit compared to what we see from the other party in 2016 and 2024 (and leading up to and between really).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Pajama Sam Made Me A Leftist | Political Breakdown Of A 90s Videogame⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The left isn’t putting “I did that stickers” into all the stupid shit that’s more expensive now after a few months of a new presidency or wearing Biden/Kamala shirts as their identity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Personal opinion: Because some food should not be that cheap. It’s part of the reason we are so fat in the US (plus car centric cities). Subsidies keep some things like corn artificially low and they end up being hammered in into every product (biodiesel, sweeteners, animal feed, etc.). With that setup, companies have learned to use those subsidies and other workarounds and loopholes to maximize profit at the expense of the product being output and we fall for it every time .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto 6 release date has been announced, but the game has been delayed to 2026 | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is game companies don’t make games for gamers, they make games for investors. Hoarding IPs and patents is what they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Polygon Has Been Sold With Mass Layoffs Hitting The Outlet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Forgot the top 5/6/10/25 things you didn’t know about game XYZ pulled directly from some YouTube video. Also applies to Tech news websites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 284 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of The Legend of Zelda’s Satori/Lord of the Mountain. Are they based on the same Japanese lore or reference perhaps?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Nintendo games were affordable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  GameCube games MSRP was 49.99. Adjusted for inflation it is $79.30. The reason things feel so expensive is because you get half cooked broken DLC ridden games as the norm and a large portion of income goes toward housing, transportation (cars specifically) and education.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Nothing is Exposed, Am I Safe?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention that some providers offer APIs to provide certificates without opening port(s) 80/443. This allows using nice domain names with valid SSL over the internal network too. Want to migrate a server or service? Just change the IP associated with the domain on the internal DNS. Makes migrating and upgrading a lot easier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly think some console games look pretty good and perform well. It’s hard to have something optimized when the hardware is so diverse. Similar to iPhone vs android. With that said, PC games without some ass backwards “copy protection” and “anti-cheat” will always be excluded from my lists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At least now you can rely back with “can you also provide feedback for #1 & #3?”

  Repeat until all items are cleared. Not perfect, but at least you don’t have to waste time rewording a follow-up email.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: You can still play Wii and DS games online, even on emulators.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hated event Pokémon with a passion growing up. I bought my game boy on the US, but I would live half of the year in a country neglected by Nintendo, once back on the states for the working season (my parents) you could only get them by traveling somewhere stupid like New York (I lived in the other coast). Even when they started using mall wifi on game stores as events I still always associated it with a life I would never have and didn’t even bother as I could never legitimately complete a Pokédex legitimately so why try to start now. I can see how that would work in Japan perhaps, but maybe the country kids felt left out as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They initially also only did it in places that consumer protection laws would force them to. Some markets (at least initially) didn’t get the same benefit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People are referring to damaged physical media = can’t play it. That’s always been the case. You mixed 2 different things into the same point, which are wildly distinct and why people say they agree partially.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fully agree. I disabled the joycon motion controls on Zelda to be able to play it. I was not going to give Nintendo more money for another faulty replacement.

  It is part of the reason I will not buy a switch 2. They evaporated the trust I had in them chasing profits by not acknowledging a very known problem.

  It’s clear that it is lawyers and bean counters steering the company. The only thing they still have going for them is they delay games until they are acceptable, once that boat has sailed, you know it will be all downhill going forward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was about to say, I never got more than 3-4 on the one I own. You refreshed my memory. It also had an OLED screen on the updated hardware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moving from Cloudflare tunnels for media streaming, first plan didn't work out due to double NAT⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t have to take my word on this, but when you have so many vulnerabilities, the foundation and knowledge about security practices by the developers is missing some key ingredients.

  I use Jellyfin. I like jellyfin. I would like people to use jellyfin, but do it responsibly.

  Citing backwards compatibility is not an acceptable answer either. If individual endpoints and/or protocols (web sockets) are being addressed as separate issues, then there is no overall filter for the most basic thing as checking if the user is authenticated, you know a potential attacker will look for more.

  Will they target jellyfin instead of your average government website with a low budget and similar issues? Unlikely, but possible if the level of effort is low and can potentially create a large botnet, maybe?

  You handle these with overall filters (or whatever they are called on c#) and white lists if something truly needs not to have it instead of reacting when someone reports it.

  The simple fact that some of the code was sending api keys as GET parameters (which get logged cross every access log in the middleware on its way to the target server) and it didn’t raise any flags seems sufficient enough to suggest DO NOT expose jellyfin directly to the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  By then you would have racked up thousands of dollars in legal fees. Not to mention if anyone posts anything negative about the current administration you could be used as an example.

  We already have students on visas being kidnapped off the streets, let’s stop pretending the law actually matters for the people in power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wrote a python script to backup my home directory⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bash does seem like a better fit for this kind of script since it is a lot more portable.

  I.e.: It comes by default for many Linux distributions. For windows, a Git bash install will get you most utilities needed for large reliable scripts (grep, scp, find, sort, uniq, cat, tr, ls, etc.).

  With that said, you should write it on whatever language you want, especially if it is for learning purposes, that’s where the fun comes from :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Trailer (2025)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t be delayed if there is no release date (other than possible 2025). Luckily Nintendo does delay their games when needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some phones only. Or at least that is how it used to be when I had one not too long ago. The boot loader had the be unlocked and some apps like banks or Google pay refused to work at the time (or maybe it was if you had root enabled).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GM blocks dealership from installing Apple CarPlay retrofit kits in EVs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, not sure why the steering wheel controls would even come into play. Android auto and Apple car play units from 2014 that I bought can directly accept the industry standard steering wheel controls cars use. I was able to use this stereo in a Honda from 06 and a Subaru from 2015. There are also wireless adapters for cars that didn’t have the feature from the factory. If it broke it was a conscious decision.
