And they’ll get AIs to scrape that shit too. And train on it so they can spew higher order nonsense. And so on.

I love how diverse the Linux distros breakdown is. SteamOS of course, but also Arch, Mint, CachyOS, Bazzite and so on. Choice. And because this is open source software work done by one community potentially helps all others. It’s fucking beautiful 🥲

Congrats on switching to Linux! There’s a lot to learn, but this also means you get control. Furthermore, what you learn is very likely to be useful for a very long time. If you still feel intimidated by the Unix command line I strongly recommend addressing that asap. It’s where the magic happens when things go wrong. It can become a super power as well in terms of automating tasks and customization. Look for guides in the format you prefer and most importantly play around with what you learn.

As for your immediate need with the Bluetooth keyboard… OK for real I’m writing this right now from a living room TV Linux (Mint) PC and I’ve ditched my previous Bluetooth keyboard for a keyboard with a 2.4ghz USB dongle. I’ve had sporadic issues with Bluetooth on Windows in the past, I’ve had less (but not none) on Linux, and I just feel keyboard/mouse are devices that are too critical to pass through Bluetooth. Wireless USB is just so much more stable. Furthermore if/when you’ll want to log into you UEFI/BIOS it’ll be really awkward because such a basic environment has no Bluetooth. I understand this may be of little help if you’ve got a keyboard you love.

Have you tried reading the article?

They don’t? Your files are local, the software’s local.

Also real programmers have impostor’s syndrome.

Real programmers are language agnostic. Anyways what’s the project?

TIMERS. don’t you people have phones^TM

Have you ruled out the GPU itself is not physically defective? I’m rocking a 6700XT and gaming in 1080 like a champ. I’m lazy so I’m running Mint though.

I’m having the same behavior on Mint with an NVMe M.2 drive as well. It feels like an expression of the fact that on linux any drive can be mounted and unmounted at any time as long as it doesn’t contain critical system files. It’s just that way imho

I would humbly suggest FP may seem especially natural to you precisely because that’s what you use all day.

Hades II: love how everything ties up in 1.0.

Dwarf Fortress: my Fortress is coming together nicely. Food and drinks are plentiful, morale is good. Gotta strengthen my defenses though.

I love these grotesque historical events. The Cadaver Synod is pretty good too: pope hates predecessor so much he has him exhumed, trials the corpse and declares him retroactively not pope. Great Halloween fun!

We need version control for the version control.

Wait 'til you see it working.

You’re not dumb and we don’t have a flawless experience… but me and my son aren’t nearly having as much trouble as you. Maybe you’re unlucky with hardware support. For some it does “pretty much” works. I’m genuinely glad you’re sticking to it some more and I hope you continue learning and that your experience gets smoother.

Thanks! I’ve had to fiddle a bit with my Bluetooth transmitter on every boot, but with FastConnectable = true there’s a notable improvement. (I’m on Mint.)

Start small. Like, really small. Don’t listen to the elitism about programming languages. Make stuff, fuss about the details later. Godot’s cool. Love2D’s cool. Nobody gives a fuck if you used a scripting language or an enterprise grade engine or if you wrote it in assembly like some cybermonk. Balatro was nominated for goty and was written in a “simplistic” scripting language (Lua with Love2D).

Stop Killing Games is about online components, relevant or not to the core gameplay, requiring the presence of a company server and acting as a remote kill switch. It’s not about putting the burden of preservation on the studios, but of reasonable “preservability”.

The argument that actually preserving video games is easy because we have preserved other forms of media does not hold. Digital data is problematic to preserve because most physical supports have ridiculously low shelf life compared to, say, paper. Storing it on computers which age even faster isn’t any better. Furthermore we have lost to time countless works from other media, some critical. Fortunately this all has little to do with what Stop Killing Games is about.
