Mostly here to kill time. Big fan of open source game engine recreations/source ports, firmware modding, Linux, and gaming in general.
It doesn’t hurt to be cautious. Trusted sources have occasionally included malicious materials and blindsided users
Thanks for the tip on Drunken Slug registrations being open. Just signed up
I could be wrong but I think there are Lutris install scripts that help with that
One other website I’d check out if you are getting into any obscure/older games that might not have a lot of comments on ProtonDB is the PCGamingWiki. Lots of fixes are listed there
Have you heard of ProtonDB? It rates the current state of games and recommended fixes.
Gaming on Linux has improved a lot over the years. It’s typically only multiplayer games with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) that you’ll run into major issues with. Mod managers frequently require a fair amount of extra work and reading but I think a lot of Bethesda games have easy work arounds and documentation.
I used to run a Raspberry Pi 4 in the same case for months at a time and didn’t have issues. I’d say you are fine
They work just fine. You can either attempt to use the install script Lutris provides you and hope it gives you the option to supply your own files (this is primarily GOG games and source ports) or set up a new game from scratch by selecting the exe file of the installer and later changing it to the game.
You should check ProtonDB even if you aren’t using Proton to make sure there’s no additional fixes or edits that need to be applied.
If you need help or have questions let me know.
- Lemmy is now a real alternative. When reddit imploded Lemmy wasn’t fully set up to take advantage of the exodus, so a lot of users came over to the fediverse and gave up right away. There were no phone apps, the user interface was rudimentary, and communities weren’t yet alive. Next time reddit screws up in a high profile way, and they will screw up, the fediverse will be ready.
I definitely think having mobile apps is an essential step. I was looking at alternative platforms such as Raddle.me but using a mobile browser was an extra hurdle (similar to using the official Reddit app) that kept me from regularly checking in.
- Lemmy has way more potential than reddit. Reddit’s leadership has always been incompetent and slow at fixing problems. The fediverse has been very responsive to user feedback in comparison.
I could see this causing issues later. We’ve already seen issues arise with some instances using the .ml domain or not being updated immediately.
Defederation is another beast all together. Most of an instance might be fine but a few problematic communities could create problems leading to arguments and, as much as I hate the term, drama.
There are archived versions of re3 and reVC if you wanted to give it a try. I can’t say I’ve had any issues running the latest release.
Another classic. It’s a shame the client cannot run on Linux due to the lack of shared resources in DXVK.
From what I recall Doitsujin of DXVK seems to think it’s a ways away from getting fixed.
Are they inactive right now? I’m not sure if they went the way of re3 (a reverse engineered version of GTA 3 designed to fix bugs, port the game to several platforms, and expand modding capabilities) and were shut down under pressure from Rockstar.
Did you let it run for a bit and configure your browser? Mental Outlaw has a good setup video.
If it’s an issue with being unable to install i2p in the first place that’s a separate matter
Here is a Kotaku article titled Bootleggers Explain Why There’s So Much Video Game Piracy in China. It is from 2013 and I think there has been a size amount of legislation changes but it sounds like the grey market for video games was thriving thanks to console mods.
I could still see it existing today considering you do occasionally see someone selling drives full of pirated games. It might be a more local sneakernet style of system.
Good question though. I love hearing and learning about how piracy works in other countries.
By pirating an NFT you mean saving the image? Because the owner of an NFT doesn’t always own the copyright or license.
In your quick settings menu next to the brightness bar there’s typically a sun you can click to toggle it.
Is there not something similar on your device?
SpotiFlyer. It matches songs in a Spotify playlist to songs on YouTube and downloads them. Great if you like Spotify’s curated and niche playlists but don’t like their app or restrictions on playback.
Antenna Pod is great for podcasts but that’s not really piracy.
I played it two years ago and ran into slight issues with shadows. The game has the same quirks as it does on Windows with some quick time events being linked to the framerate.
Modding the game on Linux is quite difficult.
