@memoriesin8bit Well, **I** am complaining. Linux MUST rule supreme. Every single front =P

Usually what I see as being the curse that binds workplaces to Windows is that IT depts embraced Active Directory 20 years ago and now everyone is suffering because every single service is tied to it

@memoriesin8bit It's funny because I DO have a win install in this machine... for work just in case, but managed to break free from it =P

10FPS also sounds like a lot, pick up the slack nVidia, come one!

Always remember actually GAINING a couple FPS in some CUDA work back in the day just by building the company software in Linux instead =P

This IS the happy place, for sure =3

@memoriesin8bit Linux gaming has come a HUGE way along thanks in no small part by the advancements in Wine driven by Valve's Proton. I haven't booted Windows in years, the only game I remember having proper trouble with since... I guess Battleborn like 10+ years ago, is Inifinity Nikke because the devs EXPLICITLY prevent it from running in Linux outside of the Steam Deck (still waiting for a hack so the Frau can play it)

I just kinda stopped asking "does this work" and assuming everything does

@memoriesin8bit So even while I'm generally happy with the setup I found, that's a very "I use Arch, btw" sort of setup and there's a TON of room for improvement on the specifics here

In the context of my actual suggestion, maybe Heroic would be a better option than Lutris but it WOULD be very much "in the Linux spirit" if they instead of porting Galaxy, THEIR project, over integrated their hooks and recipes etc in either of these pre-existing open source frontends

@memoriesin8bit Yeah. I heard a lot of people really happy with Heroic, didn't quite hook me because the initial sales pitch was working with the Epic store, which I've opted out of using entirely, and because I've been comfy on Lutris for a long time

BUT

That comfort is all just setting things up manually. I haven't really used their recipes in forever and getting to that level of "manual" is a huge entry barrier

Plus, there's no achievement system to hook up to and no update tracking [+1]

@memoriesin8bit I remember being excited when they announced Galaxy WAY back. They were putting Linux quite centrally to their marketing and then they just dropped it off quietly and never looked back

It IS disappointing but the pain has been more or less eased by me moving to Lutris and never looking back myself. I don't even use the Itch client

But it would be real nice to see them at least contributing recipes to one of these third party managers such as Lutris or w/e

Does the guy work for Capcom or something and, as such, his comment section MUST be unquestioning praise?

It's the second time I caught a comment I'd made being deleted (though I'm sure there's a third, this one I expect) and both times it was just the lukewarmest thing. No flaming, no trolling, no nothing

It just feels a bit bizarre, tbh, it's weird

Acknowledge I did watch the entire video following the comment and agreeing on a minor specific thing. Mostly it's about the ack

But by that time, the original comment was actually gone. Seemingly deleted

There were no "bad words", it wasn't just inflammatory... I was upfront that this was pre-watch to lay the baseline for where I was coming from.... and it was just gone

Now, what's the point of engagement farming if they're just going to delete the comment it immediately? [+1]

I put up front that this is a pre-watch comment, following said call to action, and I explain that my opinion of that game isn't as high. I recognise a lot that there is to love about it but I feel they botch the execution of all they set up which makes this game frustrating in a "fanfiction bait" sort of way. It's hard to not imagine the version of this game where they stick that landing instead

Still watch the video and come back in the end to edit the comment, y'know... nothing much [+1]

Sometimes it's hard to understand Content Creators^tm

Got recommended a BoF4 review and decided to watch because... y'know... I'll never be free of that game. But I'm also interested in the perspectives of people who just really liked it and, to my surprise, there seems to be a ton of those around

Quickly in, the guy makes a call to action, "leave a comment if you have experience with this game. What do you think of it, etc..."

And I play along, feed the algorithm, so I go and write one [+1]

@Blackthorn @negavolt And it's not the only one. You mentioned Oberon and he's one of the tamer ones, just the context of it all kind of exposes his themes as more "rich people good, poor people savages" kind of stuff but it's milder, from memory

But the Apothecary, for example, is another one when they dial the thing to 11 and his core character arc is learning that "criminals" are inherently evil, irredeemable people who should never be helped under any circumstance

It keeps going [/fin]

On the plus side, in FF7 Rebirth, I've played through the Queen's Blood tournament in the ship and me and the Frau almost collapsed from all the laughter

13/10

I'm SO glad they didn't sink this remake into overwhelming edgyness and, instead, let it fully revel in all the silliness it inherited from the original too

Today I remembered Octopath Traveler and how utterly betrayed I felt when this game that looks gorgeous, sounds beautiful and plays delightfully turned out to be a huge like of hateful garbage

It's honestly surprising this game doesn't live rent free in my head given this fact. Maybe it's how determined it is to be absolutely vile. So instead of a tragedy, such as BoF4, this to me just feels malicious

I'm reluctant to dignify LLMs with a term like "prompt injection" because that implies it's the unusual case

prompt injection is a thing that's just gonna happen with LLMs as they stand

the security model is fundamentally stupid

1. build a great big pile of all the good and bad information in the world
2. feed it to a nondeterministic stochastic parrot
3. put a filter on the output of the parrot and block the bad stuff
4. wtf did you expect to happen, you're doing security by regex on an input you can vary freely
