  • Yeah, no, putting other people down is not the way to go, and is usually a trait of social networks I tend to avoid. Here's what you could have said:

    Lemmy may have fewer people, but it has more passionate people.

  • I sort of disagree, abusive power mods / admins can ruin your interaction with any community, big and small. The only thing that varies is how much of an effect that they can have and whether you have the bad luck to get targeted by their small insecure egos.

  • VM adds too much overhead for anything near modern, even if modern VM integration does add GPU drivers that act as a bridge for 3D acceleration. But SteamOS and Steamdeck are great examples of how far gaming has come in Linux, it's no longer something just on the fringe.

    I sort of do agree with your last comment. I tried to introduce several family members, and their take was basically that, why bother with something that seemed as unfamiliar as Linux for something they were already used to using. And if you try to use it at work, you are going to have to end up installing a Windows VM most of the time for most jobs. Monopolies be like that.

  • This link just seems like a nothingburger though. It's not really saying much, just a EU council doing EU council things. Am I missing something?

    More historically accurate games would be fun. Assassin's Creed sort of jumped off of that cliff and from my understanding they missed the hay wagon, but I haven't really kept up with the series.

  • It's not a specific one, it's about not having to worry about which one are in the ProtonDB list and how it actually performs and can be configured. I just lose less out of having Linux in a VM for what I use it for, and have less surprises running the games on the system they are marketing and testing for.

  • Loot has gone from "fun grid systems where there are tradeoffs and you always have to balance out what you can carry" to a "you are a walking truck who can just stash things like mad until you reach a ridiculously unrealistic limit and have to face the consequences of your own looting actions", at least for me.

    Borderlands is the worst offender, and Bethesda Game Studios are right behind. They really need to give me a party where there are members who are looters and merchants who follow me around and slowly auto-sell the loot I leave behind, or something else to that effect. I think that it's one of those ideas where once one game begins implementing it, they all will.

    Borderlands 3 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands started to implement this with their Lost Loot Machine, but all it really does is delay the problem. The Loki 2 Season Finale had it right here, “The Loom inventory will never be able to accommodate for an infinitely growing multiverse item list”, it all comes crashing down eventually.

    Sure, you can leave stuff behind, but I feel that the shift to a system where players are essentially walking trucks has changed this dynamic.

  • I used to use Linux exclusively, but I eventually gave in to the appeal of Windows. I'm just too into gaming, even with all the advancements Steam and Proton are bringing into Linux. The main difference I've had is which OS type hosts which OS type.

  • You can already get it working under Linux, running a Windows VM. I remember doing that for Homeworld, it's basically the emulator approach. A VM is ok if it isn't too demanding graphically.

  • When Tribes came out, it was about massive terrains and battlefields in the scifi Metaltech universe and trying to coordinate with a team that needed to employ different types of classes. Skiing was unintended yet grew to be a cornerstone of the series, and Tribes 2 was an evolution of this and even created its own internal social network. It has since become more arena like, and this seems to follow that trend.
