Games like Baldur’s Gate assume you have at least some DnD experience. I remember playing Neverwinter Nights for the first time long ago and being really glad I played one session of DnD before it.

Please let this decade be the decade that fascism dies.

Asange plays favorites and has an agenda. I want him to expose all the shady activities, not just the stuff he thinks will help Trump win an election.

“There’s a new war going on, is this affecting my investments?!” - some capitalists I assume.

US State Dept. Officials Told Not to Use Terms ‘De-Escalation/Cease-Fire’ About Gaza - just… big sigh.

According to HuffPost, which reviewed official emails, “State Department staff wrote that high-level officials do not want press materials to include three specific phrases: ‘de-escalation/cease-fire,’ ‘end to violence/bloodshed,’ and ‘restoring calm.’”

Yeah they burned me a few times in the past by acquiring games/studios and breaking their Linux compatibility immediately after getting them. I’ll hold this grudge for decades.

I wonder what could have provoked an attack like. Perhaps decades of oppressive occupation. Constantly escalating violence isn’t going to fix this. But Israel is the side that can choose to end it by ending apartheid. All the imprisoned can do to improve their situation is try to fight out of it.

It’s not inevitable, you could stop apartheid.

Apple doesn’t ship consumer systems with dedicated GPUs in them and they’re on their own custom silicon now. Developing cross platform games for them must be a major PITA.

How many more shows can they buy the rights for and then do one half-assed season of? Surely they’re running out of ip.

Loading Ready Run streams a lot of stuff. And you might like the dessert bus for hope fundraiser happening in November.

They burned a lot of good will. With these changes, existing games won’t switch engines. But everybody doing new development will be looking at other options. Not sure if retroactive fees would have ever survived a court case, but smaller devs won’t have the energy to fight it out.

The Stanley Parable, the whole game.

Not currently in the open source space, although that is a possibility in the near future. But all the software I’ve made in the last several years targeted Linux anyway (except for UIs but those are web or react native). I reached the point where I was tired of dealing with windows and macOS at work. So I switched jobs and started making this a requirement. I ask about it in the first interview with any possible employer.

Probably not something you want to do when you’re a Jr Dev, but props if you can convince them. When you become a sr/principal/architect level most employers give you a lot of flexibility.

Yes, I have the framework laptop because it’s designed to be Linux compatible. I put pop_os on it and everything just worked with no tweaking.

My employer didn’t truly provide it. Using Linux is one of my hiring requirements and they told me to provide my own machine. But employers should really look at framework machines if they want something repairable.

I have a framework laptop for work and I build my own desktops for personal use (mostly gaming). When I was in college I used to spend days getting things working on laptops, usually having to build a custom kernel or making custom configuration for sound. I don’t have the patience anymore.

You should return the PS5 and just do PC gaming. Maybe get a steam deck or another portable.

The only question I have is: how well will it work on linux?

And I’m sure the investigation will reveal no foul play.

Oh I forgot about the xenon chips. Those are still much easier to emulate I think, at least compare to the cell and emotion chips Sony used early on.
