Shocker

Shit title.

Mint will be Wayland ready around Christmas 2026 when the next version will be released.

I’m not sure if 30 vs 24 dB is too much, but idk really

FYI decibels are a logarithmic scale so for example 18-24dB is a smaller difference than 24-30dB. That said, some HDD noise is noticeable to some people and not to others. All you can really say is that enterprise drives are loudest followed by NAS drives then regular consumer ones.

I started Cyberpunk 2077 but I’m not quite ready for anaother big RPG yet. Got Deep Rock Galactic and played a few hours. I also played some Heroes of Hammerwatch 2.

Mostly though I’ve been playing Wayfinder which has been a pleasant surprise. The art has some real WoW BfA vibes (first area reminds me of Boralus).

I just finished Avowed yesterday. I give it an OK 6/10.

Visuals and exploration were top notch. The music was fairly forgettable. The story was OK… IMO it had too much speaking in metaphors to be coherent at times. One of the companions was cool, I didn’t really like the others.

The combat felt pretty good (I played wand wizard) but got old as the game went on as there weren’t many new abilities or gear from mid to late game. The gear upgrade system was survival game level shit… open chests for 60hrs to get mats to upgrade. The gear itself was mostly pretty boring stat boosts. Unique gear is just better making all other gear useless. The uniques don’t have particularly interesting effects.

I’ll remember the world and the general world building fondly but not much else. Hopefully if there is an Avowed 2, the gear and ability systems will get more fleshed out.

Next up is Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time. So far i’ve spent 1.5hrs on character creation and getting the game to look good with a decent framerate with the help of OptiScaler.

Sure, but the vast majority of people aren’t going to do that. I don’t think it makes sense to say they can’t do it because 5% of buyers may act in a certain way.

I agree that all these companies are super greedy, the point was that even though they’re greedy they still sell at a loss on the hardware as it ends up making them even more money.

The game store that has so much of the PC market that people call it a monopoly can’t?

That doesn’t make any sense.

The real question here is if console manufacturers can sell consoles at a loss expecting to make up the shortfall with game sales, why can’t Steam? Gabe/Steam have billions and could easily do this. The only answer I can think of is greed.

I’m very happy with Kavita running in Docker. I’ve used it through the Web UI and KOReader on both phone and Kobo. All work great. I manually download books and fix the metadata on them though so YMMV.

In my living room, Kodi. On PC, Strawberry Music Player. On android phone, Musicolet.

Hi,

Here’s a great site to browse communities to sub to lemmyverse.net

FYI everything on Lemmy is relative to the instance you are on. For instance if there was a community on lemmy.world called ThisIsAnExample (lemmy.world/c/thisisanexample) then to you (on lemmy.zip) it would appear as lemmy.zip/c/thisisanexample@lemmy.world. Same goes for users.

You can see these icons on each post or comment…

The first one is a link to it on lemmy.zip. The second one is a link to the original post/comment on the users home instance.

Good luck!

Watch this video from the guy who started the Stop Killing Games movement. Then you can stop misrepresenting what they’re trying to do.

That doesn’t sound fair at all. I think for many games, considerations such as this potential law will demand would have to be included in the initial design and development. There are also the potential implications for licensing of middleware etc.

Again, you cannot be expected to comply with a law that doesn’t exist yet.

There may be a case for “live-service” games that it could apply as they could be considered to be under constant development. Most of those are either subscription or free to play though which would exclude them entirely as neither is a purchase of a perpetual license.

While it might not be easy for existing games…

I can’t see why they would try to include existing games. Laws are (almost?) never retroactive. How can you comply with a law if it doesn’t exist yet?

Here’s how to install KOReader on Kobo

github.com/…/Installation-on-Kobo-devices

Here’s the Kavita wiki page about KOReader that includes how to set up progress sync

wiki.kavitareader.com/guides/3rdparty/koreader/

Kavita and Calibre afaik

Here’s a screenshot from my Kavita activity feed synced with KOReader on my Kobo (also works with KOReader on my android phone)

There are already many self hosted services that can do this without vibe coding.

Also, KOReader already syncs reading progress over OPDS without a plugin.

Here’s to another 3 years (at least)!

The technical term is “spicy pillow” :D

LMAO spot on!

I haven’t any issue with it myself, I think it’s a great idea.

These acronyms I’ve never seen before and have never been used by the bot:

Avowed

I’m about 20hrs in now and still early in the second zone. I’m a big fan of the combat (playing as a wizard). The world is beautiful, NPC design is great, scenery is gorgeous. I’m not sure about the story so far (not that it’s bad). The one definite downside so far is the performance. I had to use Optiscaler to force FSR4 upscaling (I have a RX9070) and FSR4 frame gen just to get over 100FPS.

Works for me too (on Mullvad - Brussels).

I completely agree. I just thought it important to be accurate with these criticisms.

Good on ya for the edit :)

According to the article you linked it isn’t. They platformed him but it isn’t owned by him and he doesn’t work for them.

Awkward…

I finished Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter (the remake) on Monday. It dragged a bit in the middle but the last few hours were excellent. Really looking forward to the 2nd Chapter whenever I get around to it.

I’m now a few hours into Avowed and so far I’m loving it. Too early to say much more. It was a real pain in the arse getting decent FPS though (had to mess around with Optiscaler). This is my first experience of one of those UE5 games.

I’m about 18hrs into Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter remake now. They’ve really done a phenomenal job with it. The recreation of the locations in 3D is spot on and the new battle system is a great improvement IMO. The English voiceover is excellent too.

Perhaps I’m too cynical these days but what chance did they have with a name like Build A Rocket Boy?

Every time I see it I think is it “Build A Rocket, Boy” a la GoW or “Build A Rocket Boy” a la Astroboy… like WTF does it mean!!!
