Is using something like typst to generate your exams an option? There'd be a learning curve but it's full of utilities to format and arrange content and whatnot so it feels like it could be a cleaner way of achieving what you want. Plus, it'd make iterating easier and give you more consistency over time going forward

Ideally, you need at least some basic understanding to use the vast majority of languages. The problem isn't even writing the code itself, you can definitely just memorize the keywords and some basic concepts and have at it. If you ask me, the real issue is the availability, amount and overall quality of documentation and learning material if you go about it that way.

I have a few coworkers who skipped the learning English part and learned most everything from other non native speakers and they tend to be crippled by often not really being able to make use of official documentation or keep up with new things, since the vast majority of content out there is in English. It also has the unfortunate side effect of pushing them to stick with whatever it is they learned way back when and not really looking for better ways of getting things done.

So basically, you can pull it off without knowing English but it's going to be suboptimal and/or painful IMO.

To a 10yo game, no less lol

Totally fair. On the updates, it's a fedora based rolling release of sorts so you get kernel updates way earlier and steam updates just as regularly as vanilla on top, pretty sure it follows the preview branch by default. I remember back when I installed it I had the new color vibrancy slider months before 3.5 hit and the new mesa with smaller shader cache sizes and whatnot too.

Lmk if you happen to need any help with it, I'm no expert but would love to lend a hand!

Bazzite is great, I've used it for a good while and it's never let me down. Have it on my deck right now, in fact!

I believe this is the one they're referring to

Yeah I've gotten into Nix recently and it's slowly been taking everything over bit by bit. So now I have the standalone package manager when I'm on WSL or other distros, full NixOS on a couple machines, fully reproducible LXC containers for my Proxmox build, the list goes on and on! Hell, I've got it on my steam deck to manage my CLI apps just because I can lol

That's a great idea, I'd absolutely love it myself. Something like adding a flake input and it giving you an overlay with reproducible packages for a lot of games, I suppose. Not sure about feasibility but it sure sounds enticing!

Your average user probably wouldn't be too thrilled about it, but I'm sure Nix nerds would be all over it lol.

Yeah, it'd be one thing if they said it wasn't a priority or they didn't feel like supporting an additional channel but that was just puzzling

That was one of the most unhinged rabbit holes I've been to in a hot second, and I absolutely mean that in the best of ways. Well done and congrats on getting there after everything was said and done!

I've been meaning to experiment with mobile NixOS myself but it's all but impossible to get my hands on a supported device around here. Then again, maybe fumbling around and trying to get it to work at all on an old phone might be fun 🤔

I just use Lutris for everything since it integrates with all the storefronts I care about, but as others have brought up Heroic is also a good option. I'd say try a handful of games on each and see which you prefer.

Now that's some hardcore minimalism I can get behind!

I just went to check and looks like it's been pulled, so there's our answer I guess

Edit: Nevermind, it's up. Probably a fluke on my end.

Edit 2: Sure enough, I checked and the assets are right there in the zip file. Definitely not going to last long.

Same. What really gets me with this one is that the assets look ripped straight out of the original for the most part, not sure why they didn't go with the route of extracting them from supplied game files like most every other similar project I can think of. I can't imagine it'd be due to technical limitations.

I don't think it'll make it to the end of the day, but hey, at least they had the sense to keep it a secret until it was ready lol

I've been playing some co-op Nioh, currently going through some of the postgame content (I think?).

The things it throws at you are such bs sometimes and I don't love the reliance on gear drops or how some basic abilities are locked behind leveling but if you stick with it and get used to the gameplay it gets pretty fun and rewarding. The whole stance system pretty much means every weapon type has three distinct movesets and learning to switch between them on the fly is fun. Plus, ki pulse, aka active reload but for stamina management? Low-key genius mechanic, didn't expect it to feel nearly as fun as it does!

I imagine folks who are into PvP build crafting would have a field day too, lots of knobs to twist there.

I just started CrossCode as well! Loving the vibes so far, got a tad overwhelmed when I got to the first town but I'll power through.

I've always struggled with actually retaining knowledge on how to use the myriad tools you'd usually need to extract/parse data (awk, sed and friends) and this was a game changer. I don't quite daily drive it just yet but when I do need it, it's vastly more ergonomic.

Great tip, I didn't even realize ublock filters were flexible enough to affect that

It says a lot that I don't know a lick of Esperanto yet even without the emote I'd have known for sure what you were saying. Working as intended!
