This one ^

The physical comedy alone is gold, Also you won’t leave their parents dealing with the nightmares like some of these movies…unless they really fear someone breaking in to piss on their rug.

Seagate has been very hit n miss with me. I’ve had one of their drives last near a decade only for a newer model of the same drive to fail within 6 months.

What’s generally considered more reliable brands for around the same price? preferably ones easy to grab in the UK.

I’m older GenZ “Zillennial”?

What in particular makes you think there’s not many of us on here? Not like Lemmy makes you state your age on your account.

I’m pretty sure compatibility mode in Windows hasn’t actually done anything after Windows 7. There were a few games and programs I had running on Win7 using the XP compatibility mode, but using the same setting on Win10 did nothing.

Windows 10 also seemed to be the time many games started needing community made patches to run even if the game worked fine on 7.

He did mention a handful of them “SteamOS like” distros at the start, and hopefully he covers Bazzite in the future.

But as I said before your average gamer wants a Valve backed up OS because they trust Valve more than open source devs they hardly know of.

I would like more people to try distros like Bazzite but just getting people to try any form of Linux is still a stepping stone imo.

Yeah I agree with you most the time.

I was gonna give him credit for talking positively about the Discover app store, but he also made the whole flatpak vs native package thing sound way more complicated than it really is…

Alright I watched the video and besides it being what you’d expect from a typical LTT video, I don’t see anything that’ll get me to raise a pitchfork.

He’s talking about SteamOS from the POV of the average gamer, who he calls “Joey Mainstream”. I’m starting to wonder how many people on this site regularly talk to none Linux users/gamers?

I also brought this up in another post a while back, Your average gamer doesn’t care about open-source, privacy, software, corporate overreach, etc. They just want software OS made by a corporation they trust. Most of these people probably only know of Linux from memes about needing a PHD to install a web browser.

Also should point out I personally do care about all the things I mentioned before. And I think mainline/non-SteamOS Linux is already great for gaming. I’m just pointing this out as the general consensus from most people I talk to who a line with the “average gamer”.

It’s definitely not just a Lemmy thing just any site that grows a user base.

I kind off think of it like the difference between talking to random people at a local hobby space vs a national convention. Sure you’re gonna still find people with shared interests but you got more people coming in with an agenda or chip on their shoulder, Or just general trolls who target larger groups because it’s more people to get a rise out of.

But you’d have to consult some sociologist or someone for a in-depth factual answer, I’ve just been on a lot of random sites/forums over the years.

Honestly Lemmy has handled it’s growth a lot better than most places online I’ve seen. I’d say people on here are pretty raw but not actively spiteful (mostly), which I very much vibe with.

Didn’t have a dedicated day for it but I used to hang out around the office my mother worked at if dad was on late shift.

I was put “in charge” of the printer and paper shredder.

I ended up actually working at that company in my early 20s after my mother had already left. The Boss and I.T. guy who still worked there joked about my “previous experience at the job”.

Gonna steal an idea from Karl Pilkington and leave a dishwasher somewhere on Mars for one of the rovers to find.

Since it separates Manjaro I’d assume it also does it for other Arch based distros with their own branding like Endeavour or Artix?

Steam on Linux has it’s own version of wine(proton) built in.

So you can launch Windows games through the Linux native Steam client.

As someone who still plays a lot of 2000s and early 2010s video games, The ‘piss filter’ can stay in the past. And I go out of my way to disable it anytime I can.

For anyone who doesn’t know, look up gameplay of Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) and noticed the heavy yellow tint over the entire screen. So many games from around that era of gaming had heavy handed colour filters. Not always piss yellow but that was a popular one.

A lot of newer big “gamer” brand peripherals are coming bundled with proprietary software you gotta run to get full functionality.

A friend of mine recently tried Linux and had his scroll wheel not work because it was tired to the software on Windows for some stupid reason…

I saw this trend starting nearly a decade ago when Razers software bricked my Win7 PC by booting before the login screen, I’ve avoided any devices with mandatory software since, but seems the issue has only grown lately.

It’s kinda weird I could understand the habit a decade or two ago when computers were still mainly using harddrives and some were just…slow hunks of junk.

But the majority of my peers I know who keep their PCs on for weeks or months at a time, All run at least a Sata SSD for the boot drive.

This project has been around for a good while for multiple platforms. I used to play it on a jailbroken PSP!

Think last time I played it someone uploaded a version of it to my colleges shared network drive, Will have to try it again. :)

I mean the first consoles I looked to emulate were consoles I used to play so PS1/2, PSP etc

I was never much of a Nintendo guy but Dolphin has been a gold standard of emulators for me. A lot of features I was begging to get on PCSX2 for years were already on Dolphin, mainly per-game configuration.

They wanted to many years ago but the EU actually stopped them, out of fear Microsoft would have the monopoly on anti virus software or something.

Aaaa fuck off I still play BF1 and doubt I’ll get an origin refund after 400hours gameplay

Nope just Steam
