Now would you look at that. Egosoft sneaked into the Fediverse šŸŽ‰
  • Ooh this is cool! Itā€™s inspired me to reinstall x4 on my steam deck and see whether Iā€™m still stuck in the floor, or whether some patch has fixed whatever bug I managed to hit after many many hours of game time. šŸ˜­

  • Goodbye, everyone
  • Thank you for everything, and sorry it became a sour experience. Most of all though, thank you for handing it over to others to continue! Too many projects just die; hopefully this one will live a long life.

  • Humans Arenā€™t Mentally Ready for an AI-Saturated ā€˜Post-Truth Worldā€™
  • Thing is, this isnā€™t AI causing the problem. Itā€™s humans using it in incredibly dumb irresponsible ways. Once again, itā€™ll be us that do ourselves in. We really need to mature as a species before we can handle this stuff.

  • The Lemmy User Experience is Better When Centralized into Fewer Instances
  • This is exactly what happened with the early waves of mastodon migration; a whole load of instances suddenly had to up their game, there was defederation all over, and tooling had to improve to handle mod needs in larger communities. Weā€™ll get there, itā€™ll stabilise. In the meantime, fund your server and thank your mods :)

  • How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing?
  • It works great apart from the videos - at least, I assume there are videos, I just see a test card where there would be a cutscene.

    The other thing you want is to add -d3d12 to the launch properties, it apparently makes a big improvement to frame rate, though I've never tried it without to confirm!

    https://www.protondb.com/app/2005010/ has some details and recommended settings, including how to convert the cutscene videos so they work too.

  • What do you think about Apple and its ecosystem? (And a little conversation I had with a colleague)
  • I'm a huge open source advocate and developer. I used Linux for many many years, but these days I'm Apple all the way. I'm too old to hack around with everything, I want my commodities to Just Work, so I can focus on the stuff I want to do with it. Also, Apple are the only big company I remotely trust on privacy.

  • How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing?
  • Love my Deck! Currently having a lot of fun with Boltgun, having recently played original DOOM and DOOM II with the GzDOOM, and they're still amazing. Also trying to play X4, though it's a little bit crashy, seems to have memory leaks for days. Want to play Dredge soon.

  • I might be late to the party, but the My House.WAD is an amazing DOOM mod
  • I knew Iā€™d never get round to exploring all this WAD had to offer, so I watched this video instead, would recommend. What an incredible piece of work this thing is; I really want to see a tech breakdown video next that explains how the hell all the ā€œimpossibleā€ stuff was done.
