Oh that’s AMAZING! I’m going to try it out tonight!

They literally had a hour long stream explaining what they did, and then you could have watched any of the thousands of twitch streams showing it. There was zero reason that you should have bought this if you thought this. I knew exactly what I was buying, seems like pretty much everyone did.
You are describing a remake. A remaster is a fresh coat of paint. Todd Howard said verbatim “This is not a remake” and then talked about his reasons why. You’re going on like they lied to you when they literally said everything you just complained about, and then you still bought it.

Man the negativity. I’m so sick of gamers negativity. It’s not even a new game, it’s a remaster. you knew what the product was going to be. It’s oblivion. We all knew it was oblivion. If you don’t like oblivion, why did you buy it?!
I swear to God if they changed it too much I’d be commenting here on a post about how they had no respect for the original. Then we wonder why “they never listen to gamers”. Because we bitch and moan about everything.

One step forward getting an offline version of the Crew, and another step back losing privacy

It would have been a massive win win

Just switched my friend group over to Matrix. Honestly looked at Revolt, but no federation was a non-starter. Convincing friends to leave is hard enough, unfortunately being locked into a single server was a non-starter. It’s too bad, they have a great UI, but I think they should have left the backend to trusted protocols.
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 2 days ago:
Exactly. I wish they would have just built a great UI on top of Matrix or even XMPP, but they insisted on doing it this way. None of my friends want to switch to something that they’re boxed-in with, they don’t want an app just for one server. Matrix is the only option we have, but all of the UIs are… meh.

Yes that is the GitHub issue I was referring to

There’s an investment you have to do, you can’t just make one line and expect people to take it, you’ll need to make sure you have good coverage, just like in a real city. A train line between each major area, and busses to connect multiple blocks within the smaller section, so people can easily go from anywhere to anywhere. Roads will become laden with traffic soon. Just like real life it takes an initial investment, and then becomes indispensable later.

Right, but what exactly does the reverse proxy do to stop intrusion?
- Comment on Review or ideas for my city in city skylines 3 days ago:
transit
- Comment on Sharing Jellyfin 3 days ago:
that’s what I’d like personally, but I don’t think the clients would play nice with that
- Comment on Sharing Jellyfin 3 days ago:
Thanks! Interesting they support them now!
- Comment on Sharing Jellyfin 3 days ago:
Ohhh okay! Interesting, and thank you!
- Comment on Sharing Jellyfin 3 days ago:
Now that’s interesting, what is the purpose of the reverse proxy, don’t you still need something exposed then?
- Comment on Sharing Jellyfin 3 days ago:
Right the jellyfin side, but how do you get it to go through tailscale? I’m not as familiar with tailscale, I only use openvpn
- Comment on Sharing Jellyfin 3 days ago:
How do you do a tailscale with apple tv?

Honestly if you’re comfortable with Linux I just built my own at this point, but if you’re not then obviously don’t take my advice

- Comment on Oblivion Remastered Impressions (and Discussion Thread) 3 days ago:
Also played Oblivion years and years ago, and I can agree and think you put it best. “It turned out as well as it could have”. Because to anyone complaining here, any and all changes anyone here suggests the team obviously thought the same things, but there is obviously a balance. Change it too much and hardcore original fans are pissed. Don’t change it enough and new fans are pissed because it’s too old. No matter what people were going to be unhappy. Gamers are some of the most negative people I’ve met.
I see a decent remaster, I see gameplay and motions have been updated, I see a lot has been updated without changing the core game too much. It turned out as well as it could have.

I feel as though the combat is much cleaner in my book. Yes it’s based off a 20 year game, it’s not going to match the witcher in sword play, but it’s not annoying anymore to me.
- Comment on Oblivion Remastered troubleshooting 3 days ago:
Beyond selecting a proton version it was no more difficult to set up than any windows game. Deck hardware I’ve heard issues with, but I’m not surprised. The deck is essentially a mid level right from about 8 years ago. The remaster struggles on my 3090. I was finally able to get 60fps after tweaking graphical settings for a while, but none of that was because of Linux.
- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 3 days ago:
The problem with revolt is that they didn’t do federation, so every server is going to be limited to people who want accounts on that one, and discord has shown us that people want one interface to see all of their servers. So I’m not surprised. I like their UI, but they need to federate with other servers.
As for hosting I understand what you’re saying. There’s a few options to host your own with a couple of clicks online, but paid of course. To test it out I’d say set up on a smaller instance and see how you like it. It’s rougher than discord for sure, but I’ve tried all of the others and it’s where I’m landing.

If I’m not mistaken, that might be a server or app level item. You’re using the element app with matrix org. Try something like the fluffychat app, or maybe another server if you prefer. If you go to matrix.org you can see all of the servers

It’s also federated, so anyone can run a server and any of your users can join any other servers. I’ve been slowly migrating my discord server over to it

Upvoted, I hope someone can help you here. But also a bit of condescending, it’s been solid as a rock for me on linux :D But, seriously hope you figure it out, it’s frustrating having a new game not work

Let’s hope other studios get worried. We do have power if we all collectively work against a company.

I loved the first act. It was so much fun to be there and run around. Then I was so disappointed when the second area opened and I realized oh, so I just… Do the same thing again? Like exactly the same? By the end I was just bored

Definitely. They talk later about how it’s one of the largest breaches of trust walking in on someone’s use of it.
