- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 4 hours ago:
Man collecting handsome salary and amazing healthcare in exchange for betraying his entire country tries to shift the public focus onto people trying to make their lives less miserable with video games.
- Comment on Are there any Android controllers with split D-pads? 12 hours ago:
That’s curious, because on the PlayStation 4 controller, the D-pad direction buttons are all part of a single piece of plastic.

You can see this when pressing one direction button, as the other three tilt along with it. The sensors behind this plastic piece are separate, but as far as I know, that’s true in all D-pads.

In what way is the D-pad on a PlayStation controller “split”?

I guess Tom Nook is in for a surprise.
- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Will Take Cues From Mass Effect, Souls Games and More 4 days ago:
Mishulin vaguely compared Osiris Reborn to a Souls game – not in its difficulty, but in discovering weapons during the game and strengthening your play style around it.
I find Souls games boring, but this particular aspect wouldn’t bother me. It’s common in other genres as well, like deck-builders.
- Comment on Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages - potentially bad news for Steam gamers 5 days ago:
Since Wine 9.0, you can run 32-bit windows apps on 64-bits directly, without the need for 32bits distro support. It’s called WoW64.
You can in some cases, but not all.
There are two forms of WoW64. Old WoW64 uses 32-bit libraries.
New WoW64 (introduced in Wine 9.0) works without 32-bit libraries, but is still incomplete. It cannot yet replace old WoW64 everywhere, and even where it can, it reduces performance in some APIs. (For example, OpenGL.)
It will eventually make sense to drop the old one, but doing so now would be premature.

- Comment on RDR2 on Fedora 42 stuck in borderless windowed, can’t force fullscreen 6 days ago:
The first things I would try would be:
- Using an X11 desktop session instead of Wayland.
- Using a different Proton version.
- Making sure those width/height/refresh command line options are valid and match my monitor’s native specs.
After that, I would start reading the discussion here:
github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3291
This comment seems relevant, as does this one. There are plenty more.

I haven’t seen anyone here do that, and I am not willing to stereotype gamers based on a minority of jerks.

People often say “developers” when referring to development studios, which includes management. They don’t necessarily mean individual software developers.

I don’t understand. Boxes are physical.

You can buy a boxed copy?
- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 1 1 week ago:
30 USD is the lowest price it has been on Steam so far. The summer and winter sales usually have the best prices, so if you wait another six days, you’re likely to see a price at least that low; maybe lower.
I would wait.
For what it’s worth, I found RDR1 a lot less interesting than RDR2.
- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 1 week ago:
I also love how the characters age, develop, and eventually retire.
They can also turn up again in later campaigns. This lends well to both the story and team-building aspects of the game, and is one of the things that sets Wildermyth apart from superficially similar games.
- Comment on Crowdsourced Emulation Compatibility Tracker EmuReady.com Launches 1 week ago:
Neat idea.
One of the problems caused by certain litigious corporations is that a lot of community-developed knowledge about game/emulator compatibility is lost when an emulator project is forcibly shut down. A separate repository for that knowledge, like this one, could help preserve the information.
I’m disappointed that it doesn’t show game details without allowing off-site images, and doesn’t show any information at all without javascript. This forces users to expose themselves to security and privacy risks in order to use the site.

When I browsed the Steam reviews yesterday, most of the negative ones were about a new license agreement with onerous terms, and spyware. Those seem like good reasons for bad reviews, IMHO.
- Comment on Self-hosting your own media considered harmful - I just received my second community guidelines violation for my video demonstrating the use of LibreELEC on a Raspberry Pi 5, for 4K video playback 3 weeks ago:
The use of “self-hosting” is a little confusing here. To be clear, he wasn’t self-hosting the video. It was on YouTubek, and the guidelines and procedures in question are Google’s.
- Comment on Why Decentralized Social Media Matters 3 weeks ago:
As Lemmy is federated, rather than fully decentralised, continuation of communities hosted on a dead instance is not currently possible. So that is indeed still a problem here, although not as severe, because I think the posts in those communities will still be available on instances that participated in them. Such communities would be forever frozen, though; carrying on from where they left off would require migrating to (or creating) communities on still-running instances.
Lemmy does allow you to export your own data and import it into another instance. That includes settings, subscriptions, and links to saved posts/comments. So I guess maybe you could save your own posts, export your data, and import it elsewhere to keep links to what you wrote on the dying instance. I have not tested this to be sure.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t been following Reddit events since I left a couple years ago, but if there have been recent ban waves for bad behaviour recently, it wouldn’t surprise me to see corresponding upticks in it here.
I wish more of us spoke up against rudeness, confidently incorrect ignorance, combativeness, tribalism, brigading, and other such stuff when it rears its head here. If all of us participated in moderation, I think it would be more effective and make our mods’ lives easier.
- Comment on Invisible Inc spiritual successor Cyber Knights: Flashpoint has released from early access 3 weeks ago:
Interesting. Invisible, Inc. was fun, but I stopped playing it when the developer sold the company (along with access to our data) to Tencent.
This new game is from Trese Brothers, an independent studio. I might have to give it a try.
