- Comment on What are some lower size games that work well on linux handhelds? 1 week ago:
DS feels slow and a bit clunky compared to Elden Ring, but it plays in the same way, except it’s more linear, and it’s not open world.
The weapon upgrade system is more tedious, as there are several types of upgrade materials and branching upgrade paths.
But overall, it’s still a solid game almost 15 years later.

Dark Souls 8gb Raft 10gb Blasphemous 1 & 2 4gb each TMNT Splintered Fate 5gb it’s a weaker Hades, but still pretty fun. Megabonk 500mb

The Steam Deck performs on par with a PS4. It can run lots of recent AAA games if you turn the graphics down.
- Comment on It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it 2 weeks ago:
Yes, they’ve been buying up smaller studios for decades and shutting them down.
There’s an entire wikipedia page about it.
- Comment on The Saudi Arabia fund behind the wildly leveraged EA buyout is dealing with "financial distress", claims report 3 weeks ago:
A leveraged buyout and a hostile takeover are two completely different things.
A hostile takeover is when the buyers appeal to the shareholders over the wishes of the board. It’s when the company doesn’t want to merge, but gets bought out anyway.
The term leveraged buyout only indicates that the money is mostly borrowed.
The case could be that a hostile takeover is also a leveraged buyout, but the EA buyout is not hostile.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 4 weeks ago:
Honestly, the most complicated part is getting the install media ready to go.
Once the installer starts, you’re just answering prompts like the local username and password you want, language and keyboard layout, and time zone, and it does the rest on its own.
Then the computer reboots, and you end up on the desktop of a fully usable computer. Most distros will have a one-time popup welcoming you and maybe leading you to some Flatpak “store” where you can search for free apps to install.
- Comment on The rich are ‘renting’ out their idle gold bars for income as prices remain at historic highs 4 weeks ago:
Basically the borrowers are using gold-to-gold loans instead of cash loans to buy gold to avoid problems like price fluctuations.
They’re using the gold for jewelty making or industrial processes, and then returning different gold with interest paid back in gold.
So the lenders are lending out gold, and getting back more gold as interest with no money changing hands.

It grew because it was the only platform that did it.
If you want views, you have to go where the viewers are. Current alternatives are sorely lacking.
If you want the smaller platforms to grow, you do need to post there, but ignoring the existing giant won’t get you seen unfortunately. At the very least, you should do both.
- Comment on ARC Raiders | Launch Trailer 1 month ago:
I never played Tarkov, but it always seemed a little too heavy for me. And the cheating issues everyone seems to be complaining about, and the issues people have been having with the devs, it all put me off from playing it.
The reviews I’ve seen for ARC Raiders said that the game was doing a lot of things right, but everything could be a little better. One of them called it something like “pleasantly mediocre” which isn’t awful, but also doesm’t sound like a resounding endorsement.
If I find some people to play with, I may pick it up. It’s not the kind of game I want to grind solo or play with randos, but it looks like a hood time.

Has anyone played this yet? I watched a stream of it, and it looked decent, but reviews have described it as quite mediocre.
- Comment on GOG asking for more donations from gamers with the new GOG Patrons program 1 month ago:
While Heroic is nice, it would be even better if GOG themselves put some effort into supporting Linux, as they do sell Linux native games.
- Comment on GOG asking for more donations from gamers with the new GOG Patrons program 1 month ago:
GOG only supports cloud saves for Windows games. It’s not a Heroic issue.

Depending on the universe, he may have designed his own web shooters and webs that are incredibly strong and also dissolve on their own in a matter of hours. He should become a materials engineer.

- Comment on Palworld dev Pocketpair, famous for making wholly original games, won't publish your game if it uses generative AI 1 month ago:
The title is tongue-in-cheek about Pocketpair, since they’ve been accused of using AI to basically rip off Pokemon designs.
There’s no proof one way or the other, but their stance, if it’s legitimate, is respectable.

I’ve definitely played through the game multiple times in a row on just those three lives. You gain more lives at certain score levels anyway. If you play through the entire game without dying, you’ll have around 10 lives left. And if you sit through the credits, the game continues from the beginning, only it gets harder after every loop. After 4 or 5 consecutive runs, the basic enemies that usually just run and jump actually start shooting at you.

Bonk’s Adventure for PC Engine/Turbo Grafx 16 was the game that sold that console. It’s brightly colored, has fun graphics and large sprites, and easy to pick up. It’s pretty easy, and not very long, but it’s quite fun. Also since the controllers on that console had a built-in switch to enable turbo on the buttons, the game is built with that in mind. The sequels were released after 1990, but are also quite fun and each add something to the previous games.

NES Contra is spot on for controls. Just picking it up for the first time, it’s so responsive and the movement feels good pretty much immediately. The arcade version of the game had weird jumping movement that feels clunky, but the NES version just feels so much better. It’s also not as hard as its reputation makes it out to be.

- Comment on Is it possible to 3D scan a motorcycle helmet and make smaller replicas? 2 months ago:
It’s definitely possible. Depending on the budget, you can take the helmet to a professional that does 3D fabrication.
I’d say the first step should be to find a local maker space and see if anyone there can help you. Most will have 3d printers, and some might have 3d scanners. If they don’t, maybe someone there personally owns one.

Why do kids like you always have to make things generational??
The irony of this question is painful.
You just complained about what younger people do, and then you complained about being called out for it bevause someone “made it generational.”
You made it generational.
