Is this the tipping point? There was another popular Youtuber who made a similar video recently, I forget who, but I could see videos like this bringing enough users to make Linux more than a drop in the bucket.
There’s been a pivot away from “classic” speedruns games over the last few years - I get that Doom or Sonic 2 or Goldeneye or other 90s games aren’t guaranteed a place every year, but it seems like the games that kicked off the speedrun scene are often overlooked these days.
I definitely always want 80s/90s games in GDQ lol, but I'm old so what do I know, I can still enjoy newer games sometimes
Like the 2016 Doom onwards, the runs are technically outstanding, but there’s a lot of walking on invisible geometry with collision detection, or random tricks like railboosting in Doom that seems to break a game.
but the glitchless/etc runs of those Doom games on high difficulty are amazing, Doom Eternal is so fast it's basically a single-player e-sport
Castlevania games, Resident Evil games, Titanfall 2, Doom Dark Ages, Halo Reach (4 player co-op!), Mario Maker relay race, Mario 3, and of course the Silly Games block
But usually my favorite runs are the ones I don't expect
Vulkan devices that lack the required feature support to run DXVK will no longer be listed as DXGI / D3D9 adapters. This may fix crashes in case an outdated graphics driver or an unsupported integrated GPU are present on the system.
This sounds good, I think laptop users sometimes ran into this issue in Deus Ex Randomizer, since we pack in DXVK for Windows users (we check if they have Vulkan support first) to improve compatibility and performance. It's also a good way to automatically set a frame rate limit for the game, because our installer automatically creates the dxvk.conf file.
DXVK has been really amazing for Deus Ex on Windows (and obviously Linux too)
I believe Lemmy has rate limits for requests by default, so it's not as easy to brute force a password as you suggest. But something like this is always a good feature for additional security.
I think forcing the user to reset their password because someone is trying to guess their password probably doesn't make sense unless they got it right. It would be annoying if a troll did this to your account.
It makes me mad how many people refused to leave Twitter, or even just diversify to posting on other platforms, even if they're supposed to be left leaning politically...
GamesDoneQuick for example, they always say "trans rights" and yet their only social media account was on Twitter, until they joined Bluesky just 5 months ago and they still post on both. I don't get it. They could've made a Bluesky or Mastodon account years ago, even if they keep posting to Twitter just mirror your posts!
Even more than per product, it's generally per category of products. You can run Lemmy, Mbin, or PieFed and get access to the Threadiverse. The devs actually do a good job with the interop when it fits the format of their site.
This is probably why it's not a focus for developers. If Mbin was some huge success, it would show demand for the feature, and more developers would prioritize it higher.
I really don't mind having a separate account for Lemmy and Mastodon. It's not pleasant to force different types of content into different website formats, even if the implementation is "ideal".
That said, I am surprised Misskey doesn't allow you to follow @fediverse@lemmy.world as you would follow a user, Mastodon allows this (it's not as good as viewing inside Lemmy but it does work).
