New to Linux—Epic Games compatibility? (Plus more)
  • I've had good experiences launching games from Epic on the Heroic Games Launcher. Most games that don't have extreme anti-cheats should just work. If compatibility is an issue, you can install Linux as a dual-boot option, so you could switch to Windows for certain games.

  • Name ideas for my game
  • "Hijinks" makes me think of exactly the kind of casual mess-with-your-friends gameplay that can happen with Nintendo games. I like it.

    As a side note, I'm curious to see how the game turns out. Nintendo Land was the only game I've played on the Wii U that made proper use of the game pad, and the ghost mansion was my favorite minigame.

  • Handbreak encoding help
  • I'd reccomened fine-tuning your own custom preset. Two things are important for quality, both in the Video tab of the GUI: the Quality slider and the speed of the Encoder. You can read about these in the Handbrake documentation: https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.7.0/workflow/adjust-quality.html

  • Introducing the series?
  • If he really doesn't know about Vader's reveal in Empire, then you must watch the OT first, because the prequels will spoil one of the best plot twists in film history. Otherwise, watching the prequels first is fine.

    But please do not watch the shitquels under any circumstances.

  • Does anyone use a Pinephone?
  • I got a PinePhone Pro to mess around / have fun with. I couldn't get any phone features to work (calling/texting). It's fun to install software on any low-power machine and see what works. But it's a long way to go for a true Android replacement.

  • Lemmy users where falsely accused of plagiarism, how did it happen ?
  • I would argue otherwise. To plagiarize is to use someone else's work without credit to make it look like one's own work. Re-using your own work doesn't fit the definition of plagiarism.

    What I did was still wrong, I'll admit that.

  • Lemmy users where falsely accused of plagiarism, how did it happen ?
  • I had an English essay assignment senior year of high school that I didn't want to do. I looked through my old essays (never used to delete things) and found one that was almost the same prompt, so I thought "screw it" and changed the date/class name and submitted that. I didn't give much thought to it, but every teacher used the same essay plagiarism checker, and my essay got flagged as being previously turned in. The teacher pulled me aside in class and gave me a lecture about plagiarism and why I can't submit other people's work, so I told her to check the name on the original essay because it was mine. Once she realized I had "plagiarized" myself, she let it go but told me I had to redo the assignment anyway because I "can't re-submit old work".

  • Why aren't modern 3D platformers as good as the PS2 era of 3D platformers?
  • Ratchet and Clank had at least three good games on the PS3, and Rift Apart definitely counts as a modern game. I wish Insomniac (and other game devs) woul devote more resources to making hybrid shooter/platformers, but the devs who made those great PS2 games are being replaced by newer devs who want to make different things. Also publishers want to cash in on big money-making trends like live service games.
